POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Writing is my way of escaping from the world. I only write about things i know and what i'm feeling at the moment. This means that generally my writing is dark rather than upbeat.

Dancing in the Stars
Soon you’ll be leaving me
Just promise you won’t stray far
I’ll come searching
As soon as I can
And we’ll go dancing in the stars
Please don’t cry now baby
I promise this won’t be goodbye
You see, forever
Has only begun
And we still have ‘til the end of time
When the last breathe escapes your lips
You know I’ll be holding your hand
And from that moment all I will wish
Is to hold you in my arms again
So take my love and my heart
To keep you...
Just promise you won’t stray far
I’ll come searching
As soon as I can
And we’ll go dancing in the stars
Please don’t cry now baby
I promise this won’t be goodbye
You see, forever
Has only begun
And we still have ‘til the end of time
When the last breathe escapes your lips
You know I’ll be holding your hand
And from that moment all I will wish
Is to hold you in my arms again
So take my love and my heart
To keep you...

I'll Be a Traitor
Call me a traitor
For walking away
But I refuse
To watch you die
This is me leaving
I’m not coming back
But you can’t say
I didn’t try
Held on forever
In hopes you’d return
But all I saw
Was you breaking
Glued back the pieces
You tore them apart
Now all I see
Is you taking
Call me a traitor
But I won’t look back
Can’t let you see
Me, when I cry
I couldn’t save you
You're already...
For walking away
But I refuse
To watch you die
This is me leaving
I’m not coming back
But you can’t say
I didn’t try
Held on forever
In hopes you’d return
But all I saw
Was you breaking
Glued back the pieces
You tore them apart
Now all I see
Is you taking
Call me a traitor
But I won’t look back
Can’t let you see
Me, when I cry
I couldn’t save you
You're already...

How I Live
Push down my thoughts
‘Til I’m stuck in the past
Help them all up
‘Til I’m down
Swallow my words
‘Til they’re eating me up
Chain back my tears
‘Til I drown
‘Til I’m stuck in the past
Help them all up
‘Til I’m down
Swallow my words
‘Til they’re eating me up
Chain back my tears
‘Til I drown

Beautiful Girl
Staring at the mirror searching for imperfections
You won’t see clearly ‘cause your mind alters the view
You’ve come to dread the face in the reflection
And try to wash away what isn’t you
You’re covering up your sleeve trying to hide your heart
But tiny shards of it keep slipping through
They glimmer in the light then you fall apart
Knowing there’s nothing you can do
And she cries at night
When no one is around
She lives a lie
She has lost herself
With no way to survive
...
You won’t see clearly ‘cause your mind alters the view
You’ve come to dread the face in the reflection
And try to wash away what isn’t you
You’re covering up your sleeve trying to hide your heart
But tiny shards of it keep slipping through
They glimmer in the light then you fall apart
Knowing there’s nothing you can do
And she cries at night
When no one is around
She lives a lie
She has lost herself
With no way to survive

Heaven or Hell
She held your hand
Lead you through the dark
She shared your fears
Then taught you to fight
She’s true to her word
And hates to disappoint
Yet she’s the one
Who is going to Hell
She’s still the same
As she’s been for years
The loving friend
Always at your side
She takes your hand
And you toss it away
Say she’s a sinner
And she’s going to Hell
Yes she is kissing
The lips of a woman
Her love shines
Out from...
Lead you through the dark
She shared your fears
Then taught you to fight
She’s true to her word
And hates to disappoint
Yet she’s the one
Who is going to Hell
She’s still the same
As she’s been for years
The loving friend
Always at your side
She takes your hand
And you toss it away
Say she’s a sinner
And she’s going to Hell
Yes she is kissing
The lips of a woman
Her love shines

Glass House
Keep your faces
Stashed in a drawer
Seamless smiles
Not tattered or torn
Fake perfection
Molded to be your skin
You’ve never kept
Anyone around
Long enough to
Be found out
But I can see
You're starting to slip now
Sight’s deceived me
Disbelieving
Now I prefer to be blind
The tongue of a
Liar is in your mouth
It tastes so sweet
No one cares about
The first degree
Burns it is bound to leave
Hide a nightmare
Inside of a dream
And everything
Is not as it seems
Now that...
Stashed in a drawer
Seamless smiles
Not tattered or torn
Fake perfection
Molded to be your skin
You’ve never kept
Anyone around
Long enough to
Be found out
But I can see
You're starting to slip now
Sight’s deceived me
Disbelieving
Now I prefer to be blind
The tongue of a
Liar is in your mouth
It tastes so sweet
No one cares about
The first degree
Burns it is bound to leave
Hide a nightmare
Inside of a dream
And everything
Is not as it seems

I Drowned
Ghosts of all the words
That have been spoken
Fly in and possess my mind
All my fixing just
Leaves me more broken
Could heal, but they steal the time
So my sins drip clear
Like razors they cut
Clear turns crimson on the ground
Here’s where they’ll find me
Buried in lies, but
In the oxygen I drowned
That have been spoken
Fly in and possess my mind
All my fixing just
Leaves me more broken
Could heal, but they steal the time
So my sins drip clear
Like razors they cut
Clear turns crimson on the ground
Here’s where they’ll find me
Buried in lies, but
In the oxygen I drowned

LOVE POEM

Ignorance is Bliss
The flame wasn’t bright
Didn’t cast shadows on the walls
Didn’t flicker and snap like the others
Didn’t even try to entice me with warmth
It just lay there, endlessly flaming.
It’s lack of allure
Was exactly what drew me in
Was what kept urging me to nurture it
Was how it convinced me there was so much more
Though it just sat, endlessly burning
Finally it grew
Until I was bathed in it’s glow
Until I drowned in devastating heat
Until all I could see, hear,...
Didn’t cast shadows on the walls
Didn’t flicker and snap like the others
Didn’t even try to entice me with warmth
It just lay there, endlessly flaming.
It’s lack of allure
Was exactly what drew me in
Was what kept urging me to nurture it
Was how it convinced me there was so much more
Though it just sat, endlessly burning
Finally it grew
Until I was bathed in it’s glow
Until I drowned in devastating heat
Until all I could see, hear,...

I'm a Heartbreaker
It's wrapping is deceiving
But this heart inside me beating
Isn’t one
You’d like to know
It’s been so badly damaged
I’m afraid you couldn’t manage
So I ask
That you just go
It ain’t nothing against you
In fact you mean so much to me
But I’m something I wouldn’t wish
On even my worst enemy
This tongue, it may be tempting
But is has a taste for wrecking
The soul
Inside a man
It’ll convince you that you need me
Next you’ll see me up...
But this heart inside me beating
Isn’t one
You’d like to know
It’s been so badly damaged
I’m afraid you couldn’t manage
So I ask
That you just go
It ain’t nothing against you
In fact you mean so much to me
But I’m something I wouldn’t wish
On even my worst enemy
This tongue, it may be tempting
But is has a taste for wrecking
The soul
Inside a man
It’ll convince you that you need me
Next you’ll see me up...

See You In Hell
You smile to my face
While you’re holding the rope
That I’m sliding on over my head
You wipe off the tears
Then you laugh as I choke
And you leave me there hanging for dead
Liar
Every sound from your mouth
Is a lie
Sold your soul
To get to where you wanted
Black as coal
Now Heaven’s only taunting
You think that you’re winning
You’re only beginning
While I’m VIP
So I’ll see you in Hell!
You smile to my face
While...
While you’re holding the rope
That I’m sliding on over my head
You wipe off the tears
Then you laugh as I choke
And you leave me there hanging for dead
Liar
Every sound from your mouth
Is a lie
Sold your soul
To get to where you wanted
Black as coal
Now Heaven’s only taunting
You think that you’re winning
You’re only beginning

So I’ll see you in Hell!
You smile to my face

The Rain
This heart can’t beat
Blood through these veins
The traitor that’s inside of me
Takes the oxygen away
And these eyes can’t see
Can’t see reality
The truth is tainted by the lies
But they’re all the same to me
I walked straight ahead
With blindfolded eyes
And ended up somewhere I shouldn’t
Have, can’t say I’m surprised
Then I searched for me
Of course in vain
Run in circles a million times
Before I say I lost my way
I was hoping god would...
Blood through these veins
The traitor that’s inside of me
Takes the oxygen away
And these eyes can’t see
Can’t see reality
The truth is tainted by the lies
But they’re all the same to me
I walked straight ahead
With blindfolded eyes
And ended up somewhere I shouldn’t
Have, can’t say I’m surprised
Then I searched for me

Run in circles a million times
Before I say I lost my way
