POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I play around with different styles and structures. I enjoy writing; it's my therapy. I hope you enjoy my poetry! Thank you, for stopping by!
In the Corner of Your Eye
A single tear
Just there
In the corner of your eye
Left to wipe it away
All alone
It turns a boy
Into a wall
Asking why???
Years of silence!
And you ask me
For just a word?!
Atone, in fear
It's there
In the corner of your mind
Too drained to comprehend
You're all alone
Turns a heart
Into stone
Begging now???
Tears of rage!
And you deny me
Off all my anger!
You left me here!
You left me!
You left me there
In the corner of...
Just there

Left to wipe it away
All alone
It turns a boy

It's there
In the corner of your mind
Too drained to comprehend
You're all alone
Turns a heart
Into stone
Begging now???
Tears of rage!
And you deny me
Off all my anger!
You left me here!
You left me!
You left me there
In the corner of...

The Narcissist
Close to midnight
And we've drunk too much again
I just wanna leave you
I just wanna leave you
I just want to leave you
Needing me, alone
Finger in the ashes
It smudges out like earthy silk
I just wanna go
I just wanna go
I just want to go
Back
Home
Wild and torn
Jailed and wasted
I just wanna take
I just wanna take
I just want to take it all
And fly you away
Maybe I will
Maybe I will
The criminal
And the martyr, still
Bruised and...

What's left to be said?
That's not inside your head?
The motivation's dead
Waves of existential dread
And so, I said
Hey, fuck it while you can
There is no fucking plan
There's no need to understand
There's no need to understand
Wait, my eye itches
I'm tired of rhyming
Let's be honest
There's nothing going on in this world
That won't be going on a thousand years from now
If we don't wake the fuck up
Take a moment to process
There's nothing left to say
There's nothing left to do
...

Dead and Done
Words
Things I've said too much
Weapons of my own device
Not much left to say
But I hope you'll listen
To what I have left
I think, in some way
You could finally see
The dying fire
Inside of me
Drive
And never bring me back
Home was buried in me
Nowhere left to go
But it's okay
As long as I'm here
With you
I think, in some way
You can finally see
The fire, dying
Inside of me
Speak
Tell me your hurt and anger
I've seen the beauty in you
But there's...

i am just a simple whisper
trust me to not make a whimper
i am just a forgotten liar
just me to burn in the fire
lie awake to pass the time
tell a lie to punish mine
show me
how to love and make this dissipate
show me
how to raise you up and hold you there
take your sin and eat your hate
believe you know and think you care
i am nothing but a whisper
trust me to bend a knee and lend an ear
waiting to take your daily order
i am just a servant, i am your whore
take me wherever your hell may guide ...

Warned
I told you you wouldn't like it
But we kept playing this game
Cheating at every turn
Smiling in the face of shame
I warned you to leave me be
Stubborn and righteous
Where are we now?
Right where he left us
Nothing is for free
Not even salvation
Don't you lie to me
And press redemption
Years and years and years
The river runs dry
While my cup runs over
You're never around
To ask why
I killed your god
With the blink of an eye
The only sin to atone
Is living for a lie

Sometimes
You'll sometimes think
Time doesn't exist
If I don't acknowledge it
The sunrise and sunset are nothing
But cycles
You'll think sometimes
Life is beyond meaning
There are too many futures
After what would be
Your end
We're the, "to be continued"
The next week, the re-run
We're the yesterday of ten years ago
The classic to today's future one hit wonder
We're the necessary memory
For Christmas party invitations
You'll see tomorrow in the same side of the mirror
You're staring into ...

Masturbation
i pray so reluctantly
like begging the father
to punish sparingly
choose the switch instead of the belt
my life is a shadow
casting itself upon my dreams
my dreams are sparks
that fail to ignite amidst the rain
screaming through the phone
you only hear static
i'm just a noise
a lack of definition
six by six, concrete
silent and complete
intravenous circulation
shallow reciprocation
just another form of rehabilitation
and another fucking medication ...

Double-edged
Stumble upon
Every word
Breathe and let it
Take over
Ramble down
The list
You kept it in
For far too long
It hurts more
When it bleeds less
Urking enough
You scream in whispers
I died for you
I lied for you
I cried for you
I would have killed
For you
Every sorry
Every mistake
Every attempt
To keep you at bay
Every excuse
Every lie
Every reason
Everything they say
Is exactly what brought you here!
I died for you
I lied...
Every word
Breathe and let it
Take over
Ramble down

Every attempt
To keep you at bay
Every excuse

Cuts Begin to Itch
Through the echoes
I will be clear
Lead me to light
Or just leave me here
Through the tears
I will scream your name
If not in vain
Surely in rage
I've climbed this mountain
And spat from the peak
Looking down, there's nothing left
But the weak
Through the hours
I hear you echo
Loud and clearly
Through my head
Through the noise
I cut
Because you're not here
You're still dead
I've buried this before
Ghosts still find me
Scratching...

Can you hear me?
Unrelenting waves
crashing down
pummeling me
into the ground
Unforgiving pasts
circling around
like a karmic
downward spiral
Unconvincing glances
render speechless
the mouths
that drain my life
Impermissible habits
tying us together
like fish
on the same hook
Misguided interpretations
of everything
I trusted them
without hesitation
Unforgotten words
in displaced contexts
but did you forget
where you come from?
Irreplacable silences

Dear, Love
So sweetly apathetic
You lie asleep
While I'm still crying in the next room
You haven't seen me in days
But I'm still here
I'll never leave, love
You wake so suddenly
It touches you again
The cold where I used to be
Some place deep inside
A place we used to call home
But we burned it down
And it's out of our hands, love
Bitter words and angry hands
Crushes the hearts still gasping for love
But you still haven't seen me
Weeks now, it's been
I'd give anything to take it away
I'm so sorry, love ...
