POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I started writing poetry at 11, and only ever stop when the depth of life drown me, but the words live in secret inside me
Hurt
I just want to hurt you
Like you did me
I know I have done my fair share too
But baby that's nothing compared to this
I have never felt so lost or afraid
I’ve never felt so alone before
I’m alone all the time
Even when I am not
I always think of you
I always hurt
And you act like such a dick
And I just want to punch you in the throat
The way this is happening
Makes me so sick
I find myself gagging
From pain alone
And I want you to hurt
Like I do
Hurt it seems ruins love
It isn’t love I feel now ...

Hurt it seems ruins love
It isn’t love I feel now ...

Darkness
I did so well
For a little while
I have become numb
To all my various means of torture
Inside I have been just an echo
Of darkness
Nothing there
But I was simply unable to see
The darkness hid it all from me
I covered it up and avoided it all
Now I can’t seem to do this anymore
You threw out the words
I miss talking to you
So sorry baby
I love you still
Like I said
I always will
But I know that you
Were never mine
For a little while
I have become numb
To all my various means of torture
Inside I have been just an echo
Of darkness
Nothing there
But I was simply unable to see
The darkness hid it all from me
I covered it up and avoided it all
Now I can’t seem to do this anymore
You threw out the words
I miss talking to you
So sorry baby
I love you still
Like I said
I always will
But I know that you
Were never mine

More than you bargain for
Here I am
Your perfect date
Classically beautiful
With captivating eyes
I am perfect for you
You want me
On your arm
In your bed
But not in your head
I’m there to look pretty
A mindless fool
A pretty vase with
No use at all
Decorative me,
That’s what you want
Me on your arm
Me in your bed
But never ever me in your head
I have lost track
Of how many you are
How many of you want me
On your arm
In your bed
And how many of you
Run from the idea
Of me in your head
Your perfect date
Classically beautiful
With captivating eyes
I am perfect for you
You want me
On your arm
In your bed
But not in your head
I’m there to look pretty
A mindless fool
A pretty vase with
No use at all
Decorative me,
That’s what you want
Me on your arm
Me in your bed
But never ever me in your head
I have lost track
Of how many you are
How many of you want me
On your arm
In your bed
And how many of you
Run from the idea
Of me in your head

This was it
Waking up exhausted with a broken heart
You ignore me
I wait and I ache
You ignore me
This was it baby...
This was the last I had
I have no hope left
I will love you forever
But this was it baby
I hate the way you hurt me
I hate that you don’t mean to
You are just that good at it
So this was it baby
There you are, so far away
Here I am, and I won’t stay
Because this was it baby
You ignore me
I wait and I ache
You ignore me
This was it baby...
This was the last I had
I have no hope left
I will love you forever
But this was it baby
I hate the way you hurt me
I hate that you don’t mean to
You are just that good at it
So this was it baby
There you are, so far away
Here I am, and I won’t stay
Because this was it baby

Burnt to ashes
I was too afraid to give up hope
But there never was much to begin with anyway
Now there is no hope at all
Yet here I am, desperately clinging
Hoping even though Rome is burning
It is harder to hold onto it now
I am just afraid that I will give up
And by giving up I lose the fight
So here I am hoping
But I sense it isn’t true anymore
I say I hope but I don’t believe it
There is no hope within me
But there never was much to begin with anyway
Now there is no hope at all
Yet here I am, desperately clinging
Hoping even though Rome is burning
It is harder to hold onto it now
I am just afraid that I will give up
And by giving up I lose the fight
So here I am hoping
But I sense it isn’t true anymore
I say I hope but I don’t believe it
There is no hope within me

I can tell
I told you today
That I can’t break
You didn’t believe me, I could tell
You should have
I told you once
I am no longer bonded to you
You believed it, I could tell
You shouldn’t have
So here is the truth
At last, you see?
You didn’t then or now
Ever truly know me
It isn’t your fault
You did better than most
But if I told you the truth
You wouldn’t believe me, I can tell
That I can’t break
You didn’t believe me, I could tell
You should have
I told you once
I am no longer bonded to you
You believed it, I could tell
You shouldn’t have
So here is the truth
At last, you see?
You didn’t then or now
Ever truly know me
It isn’t your fault
You did better than most
But if I told you the truth
You wouldn’t believe me, I can tell

Echoes
I subject myself to torture
Every day... in every way
I open the wardrobe
I stare at your clothes
I refuse to throw away your toothbrush
And your shoes are still standing next to mine
I take out your shirts and wear them
Like it is your arms around me
I cover the bed in your scent
And roll around in it until the need
To cut is so overwhelming that I can’t breathe
I play our songs, over and over
Until the echoes of it follows me wherever I go
I never break my rules
I never cut
I never cry
I never drink
I never use
...

If you knew
If you could but touch it for a second, the whole world would change
I hear someone say, be unafraid, you're safe
I whisper
I am never safe
There is no safe
Not for me
I hear someone say, be unafraid, you're safe
I whisper
I am never safe
There is no safe
Not for me

What I have done
You tell me to be angry
You tell me I don’t deserve this
You tut when I disagree
But you can never understand
What I have done
I was to keep him safe
I was supposed to make
Everything better
To make him happy
All I did... all I did was let my pain consume him
He saved me over and over again
Until finally I had faith
And reached for him
Finally in blind faith
I believed in someone.
But two years of pain could not be undone
The minute he sat down he realized the truth
He does not need this
He never did
