POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm currently writing a story of sorts, to do with today's issues and to attempt a few stories within the story, not usually what I write, but the idea has been there for awhile now, so why not give it a shot! :) (as of 28-01-2017)

Spiders Upon A Dream
It started out like any normal dream
Happy faces and places to go
Try to sit down under a tree
Until a spider is noticed
Not just any old spider mind you
An orb weaver, though it's colour couldn't be told
So we decided to move over
A long fair way over at that!
This was all good until we noticed another
So we walked down further
Only to walk under a colony
So we continued, in a very quick fashion
Tree after tree, branch after branch
The colonies grew bigger
Not just in numbers
Like hands so large ...

A Yearning
Every day, every hour, every minute
Losing myself in my thoughts
All of them being the same
Missing you is all that is on my mind
Not hearing your voice, the sweet melody within
Agonising at each passing moment
Each moment unbearable as the last
Very little will left in myself to do anything
All the pain a fault of my own
Trying my hardest for us to be together again
Only made things worse, oh how I have really stuffed up
I can understand why you must be fed up with me now
I hope that there is still something there...

I'm Sorry
The moment we first started talking, I knew there was something special about you.
Girls don't talk to me, but you were nice and understanding and wanted to know me better.
I'm happy I got to know you better as well, I'm happy I got to call you my girlfriend.
Even if it was only for a couple weeks, I miss all the good times we had.
I've been broken too many times in the past, I didn't have to trust you with my heart, but I did, because it was the right thing to do, it just felt right.
Each time I see your beautiful smile, my heart lights up with joy, each time I see...

Words
Good and bad words fill us all
The good words fill us all with joy
The bad words... are no fun at all
They do more harm when you don't realise it
There are plenty of words I've spoken
Plenty of those have been really good ones
But recently bad words have crept in
The worst part... I never meant them at all
Those 3 words are the best words I've ever spoken
Until its time to come out with many better ones
There are other words I wish I could take back
But I know I can't take them back now...
I want to keep saying all the good words...

It's Because I Love You
So many things that have happened
In our past, that we don't like
If these terrible things had never happened
We would have never met
When I get to talk to you
My heart lights up inside
Every time I turn my phone on
I smile when I see your smiling face
I want you to be in my life forever
And I want to be in yours forever too
I want to be your knight in shining armor
So I can protect you and care for you
I am proud and privileged to call you my girlfriend
I feel honoured that you call me your boyfriend
You are the most...

To Someone Special
So... Haven't written a poem in ages
And I actually have a good reason for a new poem!
If you can call it a poem
Like anything I write can be called a poem :P
The past month has been a blast
I've been talking to this girl... Well a lady of course
I hated to admit that I 'used' her when I first started talking to her
It's not what you might think though... I really have a lot of trouble talking to girls... but this one... She is someone special
For some reason I have never had a problem talking to her... And she is very beautiful!!

Dreams
(wasn't sure of the category best suited for this)
The time for the subconscious to dominate
For our waking world is their subconscious
At least this makes sense
After the latest dream to keep me wondering.
The latest dream is a dream that makes no sense
The main character is someone I've never met
Yet, I have seen their pictures and know of them
Is this good taste? Or my mind playing tricks on me?
What is my subconscious trying to tell me?
I know following this path would be the wrong one
All the paths laid out for me are the wrong...

Relapses and Etchings
All the heartbreak
The suffering that comes with it
All the drinking to forget
A drought broken
Tears of dark red
Continually flowing down the arm
The alcohol to numb the pain
A relapse is born again
The tears of a thousand heartbreaks
The thousandth one being the last straw
A major relapse the solution
Etchings the end result
The tears come to an end
All dried up after hours of being released
The heartache gone for a night
The etchings 'Sorry For Living' a reminder for life
The suffering that comes with it
All the drinking to forget
A drought broken
Tears of dark red
Continually flowing down the arm
The alcohol to numb the pain
A relapse is born again
The tears of a thousand heartbreaks
The thousandth one being the last straw
A major relapse the solution
Etchings the end result
The tears come to an end
All dried up after hours of being released
The heartache gone for a night
The etchings 'Sorry For Living' a reminder for life

"Family" and "Friends"
Family, you'd trust them with your life
One hundred percent in fact
Lately, it would seem I'm on my own
And continually pushed into a corner
Friends, the ones that are around for a life time
Can and will abandon you for their gain
These days, no friends to spend time with
No one in the world to even talk to
Family, the cause of your heart ripping in two
No matter how much sticky tape you use
A heart, doomed to never be complete again
No family in a real time of need
Friends, so what are friends anyway?
The pain of being...

The End Of Life
So... Tonight may as well be the end of everything
Life... Has just been turned on it's head and dropped to the ground
Friends... Very limited in a time of need
Family.... The cause behind the end of everything
Questions... To live? Or not to live?
Senses.... None remain, that are human
Pain... Currently numbed by alcohol
Amount... How much pain should be numbed this time?
Answer... There is no amount of alcohol, that can numb this pain
Ending... Feels like my chapter is close to the ending
Thoughts... My chapter could have been at least 4...

The Light and The Dark
Those times where everything goes right
Friends are willing to hang out with you
Family treats you like family
Those times of light
Those times where everything goes bad
Friends don't make time to hang out with you
Family treats you like you're worthless
Those times of dark
Those times when you have someone special
All you do is think about them
Time stands still when you're with them
Those times of light
Those times when you don't have someone special
When you think about what could have been
Remembering all those special...

A Hole In My Heart
My heart, a place within my chest
A place full of life and happiness
Something to keep me warm inside
The part of me that keeps me running
My heart, now infiltrated by a force
A part of my heart now taken over
Taken over by a girl
And she doesn’t even know it
My heart, now missing a piece
A piece that was stolen
The girl never knew what she did
But instead of giving it back, she plays with it instead
My heart, now only running at half pace
How I survive, I do not know
The only feeling I get is that of suicide
Would...
