POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
i've been writing since i could pick up a pencil and make words i've still got a lot to learn but i think i'm pretty good not the best but decent most of my writing is inspired by one person and my life so i hope you enjoy it
choose me
sometimes I lay awake in bed and I stare up at my ceiling in the darkness and ask myself "am I worthy of love?" because if I was worth keeping I'd still be yours that truth is like a pill that tastes to bitter to swallow I choke on that truth every time refusing to believe that you and I are not a perfect match we answer at the same time with the same answers almost like our minds are connected so why is it so hard to be with me I mean as in together you say you love me and I know it's true you've got stuff going on in your life but so do I why not handle it together you hate being...

Let them in
I forgot what it was like to be seen soul deep see nowadays girls and guys are just seen by faces and bodies the deepest, rawest we are seen is when we are naked but no one ever seems to take the time to get to know the person, the soul that is inhabiting this body you are so fond of we are more than these shells we have hopes and dreams we have likes and dislikes and I'm not talking about bedroom topics involving sexual activities I'm talking about your favorite kind of ice cream if you like to go on walks in the rain hell do you even know their names?! or do you just call them...

i want to be
I dont want to be just a pretty face and a decent body to you I want....I want to be the reason you smile when you first wake up in the morning I want you to look at me and think if this is what happiness is then I'm glad that I can physically hold it inside of my arms I want to be everything you ever wished for I want to be your hopes and dreams,all your love reincarnated into a person who is me I want to complete you in a way that you know that nobody else will fit I want to be your missing rib I want to be greater than Adam and Eve I want to fullfil God's will through just you and me

broken again
Remind me how you still care for me when in the plans that were supposed to be made for us you abandoned me and started anew with a girl you barely new I was feeling so alone that I switched states and then you felt my absence and sought me out only to find out that I was better off without you but you needed me so like a super hero I came back to save you only to hear the news that the one you left me for you had started an unintentional family with then to find out it was truly yours I couldn't, no I wouldn't be bothered with it I was already shattered in places your eyes wouldn't focus to...

(no title)
I wish you were a machine or a puzzle that I could take apart and figure out how you work because for the first time in my life I'm stuck I don't know what to say or do and it seems all I do is make mistake after mistake I'm not trying to play any games I'm just trying to win your heart I'm trying to be the only person you wanna be with forever and always but I guess I'm too south for you north....

When love turns to anger
I love you so much it's basically like I need you to function because the moment you aren't around after I've gotten so used to your presence is the moment I get so down...I get depressed...I'd rather die then not be by your side as cliché as that sounds I swear it isn't a lie. You are my favorite high...my favorite drug even though the side effects are horrible and leave me in a state of suicidal thoughts I see it as worth it,when you are here in my arms with your lips on mine eyes locked time stops you are my everything but your words and your actions never seem to completely match up and...

how do you deal with a heart you didn't break?
I don't know what to say...I don't know what to do when it comes to you...it seems like no matter what I do or say it'll never make a difference cause there will always be someone else you're after...how do you deal with a heart you didn't break?
I often stay awake at night and wonder what you can do to make someone willingly fall in love with you...what does it take to convince someone that there is no other person on this planet that'll ever love them as much as you can?
I guess nothing will convince you and I don't know if I'm done trying or if I'm just giving up...what...

They ask me why i started writing......
they ask me what inspired me to write my feelings down so poetically it's almost a song for those who've felt the same things to hear and I tell them...I started writing when I no longer had the strength in my vocal chords to speak...I started writing when the silence of all the losses I endured became to heavy to deal with...I was inspired by the heart breaks...by the men who laid me down and left me there to pick myself off the dirty ground I consented to lay on...why poetry? why not stories or books? because my poems are the chest holding my metaphors that stories and books couldn't keep...

A letter to you....
Dear you,
I didn't know what to tell you today when out of the blue you decided to message me saying you missed me apart of me wanted to just say "I wish things could be different" but then you'd only reply back with "It can be" and it would just make it harder for me to leave
I could have told you "The heart wants what it wants" But I know you'd reply back with "Well at one point it seemed your heart wanted me...what happened to that?" And I'd be left with nothing to say but "things change"
it's true that they do and I'm...

my tone
Excuse my tone of voice it may seem as if I am being cold towards you but I promise it's not you that I'm angry or upset with its the situation I put myself in I took everything I had for granted trying to find something new only to find out that everything that I once had was everything that I needed so yes I am angry because now I am stuck somewhere I don't want to be and no matter how I try to make the best out of this situation everything continues to take a turn for the worse so please try to ignore the tone in my voice that seems a bit hostile cause its not you that I have these ill...
