POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Mood varies, so does my poetry
Puzzle Pieces
Your shard edges a delicacy
Sharp and glassy
A kaleidoscope of the profoundest dreams
You were beautiful
A force only for my chest to reckon
Where each coupled beat sings a song of healing
Redemption
Hope
And isn't it amazing
That the moment the other girl shattered your being
Your fractured pieces
A perfect fit for mine
Sharp and glassy

A force only for my chest to reckon
Where each coupled beat sings a song of healing
Redemption

And isn't it amazing
That the moment the other girl shattered your being
Your fractured pieces
A perfect fit for mine

Linguistic Suicide
I pick up my pen
I write these words in red ink
With each letter the world gets more bleak
I savour my breath
As I sit in this tub
In a pool of these phrases
Every couplet and stanza
Filling it to the brim
Slowly taking me under
My pores ooze the metaphors
My slit wrists are a spoken word
Every pain I've felt from this life
Now I bleed this poetry

Ignorance Is Deaf
They cry
They wail
They grieve the loss of a loved one too soon
It's sad isn't it?
You cried
You wailed
And no one ever heard
It's sad isn't it?
That no one ever truly cares until it's too late
They grace blessings at your sermon that should have been said while you were awake
Here's to the eternal slumber
This you chose for yourself
Because all you ever wanted was for someone to care
To show you the love that they've always lacked
Now they stand before you at your grave
Regretful and begging for you to come back...

Boundless
On nights like these
I imagine what it'd be like
To roll over into a warm body
Lying next to mine
With a scent that I've memorized
He'd pull me closer
And I'd hold on tight
I'll smile and remember this sleepless night
I imagine the happiness of what true love is like
Something I yearn for
What I truly want out of life
I don't know if you exist
Somewhere I hope you are
I promise that I'll love you
No matter how far
Sometimes I shut my eyes and dream of you
What the colour of your iris will be
Green, brown, or blue....

Limbo
These tears just don't seem to stop
And I can't seem to tell you why
Why it hurts to wake up
Why I can't bare to let anyone see me cry
I just feel so alone
Like no one truly cares
A trip inside my brain
Is one that no one dares
This is a cry for help
In the best way I know how
Tell me what to feel
Show me how to get out
Because these tears can't seem to stop
And I can't take it anymore
Drowning in my own sorrow
Like rowing without an ore

Darker Black
When there's love it's dark
And it's only dark when there's love
We'll only keep sinking in
Deeper and deeper
I'm drowning
As I hastily try to paint the stars black
Because you asked me to
You said I didn't deserve the light
And I believed you
You dug deeper and deeper
Until I let you bury me alive
Now the air is murky
My lungs tired of breathing these same words that lack meaning and sentiment
And I sit here in shame
As I stare into the broken shards hating who I've become
Because when I close my eyes,
All I could ever dream...
And it's only dark when there's love
We'll only keep sinking in
Deeper and deeper
I'm drowning
As I hastily try to paint the stars black
Because you asked me to
You said I didn't deserve the light
And I believed you
You dug deeper and deeper
Until I let you bury me alive
Now the air is murky
My lungs tired of breathing these same words that lack meaning and sentiment
And I sit here in shame
As I stare into the broken shards hating who I've become
Because when I close my eyes,

Jane and John
You haven't met your face in person
And neither have I
You've met mine, and I to yours
Through this I know me
You say I'm beautiful
Therefore I am beautiful
You say I'm ugly
Therefore I am unattractive
But what if one day, there was no other?
No faces to identify mine
I'd be even more faceless than I am now
And my identity?
Simply just a Jane or John Doe.
Lost.

Shattered
Shattered
I remember that day
When the world fell silent
Not one word spoke
A deadly, sinking, quiet
A sticky red substance puddles around my cheek
Your blank eyes stared holes
A soul that wasn't there
It was a fire red, screaming rage
It burns walls, courses through my veins
For those final moments, we were both too late
Now one hearts not beating, the other left to sustain
And if I could breathe for you, I swear I would
Cause you always said you'd breathe for me, your presence could
But now your presence is irreverent in...

Underneath
Underneath
You got me hypnotized
Paralyzed
Head between my thighs
Look me in the eyes
Lust
And maybe that's all it was for us
I knew that's what it was for you
But it's the crazy things you make me do that has me settling for just a piece
A piece of this peace that you bring forward when you tell me I'm beautiful
I'm different
And I'm not like the rest
But it's not too long before I realize
This was never about me
Go out, hit the clubs,
Late nights

My Mistake
My Mistake
You run through my mind like a hurricane
You're reckless
Leave me breathless
Run your hands on my waist, kiss my my neck just like this
Cause this
Is make belief
Should I run or make believe
That maybe this could be real if
Pigs could fly and if I was prettier, skinnier and a little bit more easy.
But I'll never be her
And I'll never let you degrade me
And when you walk by like you don't see me
I'll remember last time in the end all that I was left with was me
But yet
You're still running through my mind like a...
