POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Subject of you. Subject of me.
I have a love hate with "Love"
My ex makes me hate it.
Makes it so painful.
Why does it exist.
It shouldn't.
You make me want it.
The way you want me,
Biting your hand at the sight of me.
The way you want to hold back,
But take me in.
The way you know it's so good,
Maybe too good to be true,
You're hesitant,
But go all for it.
It's like when you see me,
You seem to be surprised by something
About me or something I do.
You like me.
You like that I make you smile a lot.
I'm making it hard for you to...
My ex makes me hate it.
Makes it so painful.
Why does it exist.
It shouldn't.
You make me want it.
The way you want me,
Biting your hand at the sight of me.
The way you want to hold back,
But take me in.

You like me.
You like that I make you smile a lot.

OMG! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
He's having a baby..
Why does this hurt me?
I'm over you.
Don't even want anything to do with you.
But love decided its hiding and put away.
Not gone.
Just tucked away for a second.
The tug on my heart strings.
Made everything stop for a second.
Why do I wish that was me and not her.
Then again I'm glad it isn't me.
I pray he doesn't cheat on her too.
I pray old habits,
Bad habits,
Leave him and is the best father I know he'd be.
I wish nothing but the best for him.
I do.
I really do.
But ouch.
Why...

My Saturday 2-25-17
Oh Saturday.
Sweet Saturday.
Nice cool day.
Not cold.
Not hot.
Life on the Congress Avenue.
Walks with you.
Trading interesting things about us.
We laugh and question.
Getting to know each other.
Having dinner as we grow more interest.
Calm.
Upbeat.
Blushing.
Happy.
Nice feelings we both haven't had in a while.
Acceptance.
No judgement.
Both having such a good day.
I needed this.
I'm loving this.
When I first saw you,
You were the only thing I focused on. ...

Betrayed Actions
She hurts.
Said she gives up.
So she acts out,
Tryin to numb the pain.
Pushing the wrong people away.
Her defense mechanism.
Troubles her.
She hurts.
Only thing she trusted in unconditionally,
Has betrayed her.
Not knowing how to feel,
How to accept that punch,
That was too great.
Snapped her.
Switched the switch.
Doesn't believe she should let anyone in anymore.
Hard to trust,
She breaks.
Pushes away.
Attitude change.
Breaking down,
Or break though?
She doesn't even understand it. ...

Gal Gail
Wonderful lady.
Someone who left her mark on me.
Sweet.
Wise.
Her beautiful white curly hair and colored eyes.
Full of adventure.
A former teacher who traveled alot.
Reminiscing about all the places she's been brightens her smile.
The glow you see when she talks about traveling.
I see me in her.
She is what I hope to be.
Full of adventure.
Full of stories eager to talk about.
Short of breath with so much to say.
Still so full of life.
She inspires me.
She gives me alot to look forward to.
Reminding me I have...

Lost with out you.
Take a moment,
to step into my head.
Breathe,
the air that makes me upset.
I can only try to explain,
what you don't understand.
You are my friend,
yet don't see that something is alittle off with me.
You are my family,
yet you don't pay attention to how puffy my eyes are.
Or notice the slight silence that is becoming a new habit.
Strangers see that I'm happy,
think she must have a good life.
Co-workers think I'm in a great smiley social mood all day everyday.
In fact, that shows how strong I am.
I am the literal sad clown...
to step into my head.

Tranquility
At ease.
Calm.
Breathing in and out.
I sit here in peace.
Inside the food court of the mall.
Early, awaiting my shift in two hours.
I wait.
At ease.
Calm.
Listening to tranquility.
Aware of the living around me.
Everyone seems tired.
I feel tired.
The bags under my eyes, covered under my mask.
So eager to be successful, just like everybody else.
I rise early.
I fall asleep late.
Running on 3/5 hr energy.
Having a long day ahead of me.
Overwhelmed.
Stressed.
I toned myself down.
Playlist of tranquility....

I am.
I am a light that's hard to find.
A string of pixie's you gaze at for freedom.
Happiness that you await for.
I am laughter in child's play.
Dreamer of dreams, I chase.
I am a victim of the world today.
Everyone or most, can relate.
I am a 90's child, more of 1975's yesterday.
A love you search for
Hard to find
And a perfect date.
I am imperfect
I make mistakes.
I am reason
You'll continue for my aid.
I am comfort
That morning peace
Everyone asleep
Stars and blissful sky's meet

Bye and Bye
Bye and bye
Is all I can think about.
You have me worried,
Worried I won't see you again.
This feeling of disappointment
Shattered wishes
And false hope.
A nightmare in my wake
I can't out run.
I keep reaching for you
Only to lose grip.
I want to cry
Stay strong I tell myself
He'll do the right things I tell myself.
I have to question.
I don't want to lose you.
I have to trust.
Will I have to choose to lose you?
I wish I didn't have to doubt you.
You scare me.
You tell me words...
