Poet Introduction
Writing was not always a thing I did but once I found it in me it was ever so hard to walk away. Now a novice I am but discouraged I'm not for I know I have much to learn and I have a young soul...

Twelve Thirty Four
There's so much I wish I could tell you,
though I know it won't mean anything anymore.
I'm a little too late and your heart's been hurt
for a little too long to trust my intentions are pure.
How can you wish upon a star
for the love of your dreams to come
if you've left all your dreams behind
the day you broke my heart?
We're both detached from reality.
You, a prisoner of your own coping pattern,
escaping into a virtual world where you're the protagonist, struggling,
yet ultimately leveling up and completing missions familiar...

Lesson: Keep it to yourself
Why do they always tell you to speak your mind,
Don’t bottle it all up deep inside;
When all they’ll do when you finally let it out,
Is bring you down, using it as weapons against yourself.
They even use it as ammunition against another person
Unnecessarily blasting what you told them in confidence,
In a moment of genuine vulnerability, ultimately resulting
In someone else blaming you for a fight you that wasn’t yours.
So now I will have to learn some other way
To regulate my own damn fucking emotional baggage
Because I’ll be...

Hate I'm mad
I hate you. I hate that I like you. I hate that I'm the only one who likes the other. You have this power over me. A power you didn't even ask for and still just had from the first day.
The ability to take the pain away. The pain and drama from my reality. Being with you was like a dream in which all my pain and problems disappeared, and it was just us. And I truly felt there was an us that day. But it only lasted so long and then it was literally just all in my dreams. Some dreams so nice I never wanted to wake up. Some, so painful I wish I never slept again. And then we talked. And...

Section Forecastle
As I drove through the dark I saw the city lights I was leaving behind, flickering in the distance, trying to seduce me to go back to them. For a moment I almost wanted to; but the traffic lights brought me back to the now, the gift of time. I stopped, to think about what I was leaving behind; but more importantly, why I was leaving it all.
And as I reassured myself that I wasn't wrong when I said I would go, the traffic light gave me the go sign and I went. Oh did I go!
I can't imagine a most perfect way to end it all. Once I accepted there was no going back, I put the...

I had a dream...
We were in this "classroom" (honestly it kind of looked like the one big classroom where I work) and we had to get in pairs to do certain projects for this one teacher/priest. We paired up, sat next to each other and were assigned to make a sign and find berries (next to the classroom there was this sort of garden? It had small hills and bushes.)
We were doing the sign in the back of a car and I kissed you in the spur of the moment and you backed off, then took off. I stayed there and scolded myself for being an idiot.
Then I saw you sitting with someone...

Under the stars
I'm infatuated with you
And I had the guts to tell you,
I love how shy you can be
But first impressions can deceive.
I loved the affection,
And I loved the attention,
But that's how it always is
When for the first time you kiss.
Something got stirred up in my head
When you told me what I already knew,
I just thought you'd express the way I do,
And let me be the exception to your rules.
Guess that'd mean you'd have to change,
And that's not what I want,
I just wanted your constant affection,

i don't know when or if you ever will read this. but I'm hurt beyond all reason. i cannot find the words to start describing this.
i know it was wrong of me to go through your messages. It's only because i wanted to see our pictures from our last trip and stumbled upon other kiss pictures that were not us. it killed me inside like a thousand daggers piercing my heart, so i just needed to know and i guess my suspicions of her were true all along. guess it's angelica all over again but i dont know if i can take it.
i still love you but i cannot accept Tortice as a friend. and i cannot...

Scares
I can feel the darkness
And it's so close to home,
I can feel it coming
Always so hungry for more.
I can see the bats
Flying over us all,
I can hear them crying
I really hope they don't fall.
Something bad will happen
I can sense it in my bones,
Something grim is coming
It doesn't want to leave me alone
And it's so close to home,
I can feel it coming
Always so hungry for more.
I can see the bats
Flying over us all,
I can hear them crying
I really hope they don't fall.
Something bad will happen
I can sense it in my bones,
Something grim is coming
It doesn't want to leave me alone

Desires
And if in all my life i have learned anything
It would have to be that i only have me
But Oh! The thought of having you with me
Is so much better than our reality.
Can i cast a spell on us both
To never fall so far apart
To be together in wake and slumber
To always be there for one another.
It would have to be that i only have me
But Oh! The thought of having you with me
Is so much better than our reality.

remembrance
So here i am,
After eons of absence
Just to tell you I remember
Still, that one school day;
You, after being there for a bit,
Asked so comfortably for my friendship.
Ecstatic i was at first,
Wanting to be your only one.
At first I couldn't pin point why,
Took a year to finally come to grip
That what i felt was a special kind of love.
And here, 7 years later
I still remember that sweet,
sweet day of summer where I died
And was brought back to life
With a smooth touch of your lips.

things change in one second~
There had been screams for hours. It seemed to be that her pain would not end any time soon. So many months ago it was that she gave us all the wonderfully scary news that changed everyone's lives.
"Hang in there sweetie, just a little bit more" cheerful words from everyone to give her strength. I was the only one to not cheer up for her. Sitting in the corner of that white room that had more people than it could bear.
Thinking back to all the nights I held her in my arms telling her not to surrender her life,...
