POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I dream of beauty & romance; While facing the reality of loneliness.
I'll cry
I'll wake up early
Brush my curly brown hair
Paint my boring face
Wear my best clothes
Then put on my favorite smile
& when they ask, i'll say im okay.
He'll be with her
Smiling, never so much in love
She'll be with him
Feeling everything i felt
She'll know his lips
She'll know his eyes
The look that has him all over your mind
So i'll wake up early
I won't brush my hair
I'll let them all see me for who i am
Put on whatever i want
Then cry all day
& When they ask i'll admit
"Im weak, Im...
Brush my curly brown hair

Feeling everything i felt

She'll know his eyes
The look that has him all over your mind

I won't brush my hair
I'll let them all see me for who i am

Its Okay
The wind screams out your name
As the night sky cries for your return
My flesh smelling so sweet & diseased
My pigments losing color each night the sun goes down
Hair falling out
Is this how dying feels?
Or maybe depression has finally come
To win.
The rustling of the trees tell me a story
The gentle drops against my window singing to me with sorrowful music
You know my pain, so to speak
You've watched me drown
&& become Calm, meek
So this is what dying is?
I've isolated my self from everything ...

Off the pills
I Have these dreams
Were i watch myself bleed & scream
I Cry out a name that i dare not say
I'm in a place, I dare not be
Have you seen my wrist,
I call it art, you call it proof
To my self-slaughter
I have these nights that drag into day
As i sit on my window seal
& watch the golden beams bring life to this awful place
I hate it, why can't i just watch the stars for all 24 hours
Then again... Am i truly awake to see any of this?
They have me on these pills
"They'll help you i swear."
Took 'em for...

I forgot
I forgot how life worked
You just don't tell someone
You love them & except them to say it back to you.
Then they want to pretend as if
Everything never happened to persevere an already deteriorated friendship.
So, what's there left to keep?
Do i hide my feelings & keep them meek.
My callow soul is hurt & wounded by rejections scorching words
Can i convey how this truly hurts.
Or should i ignore myself yet again
&& try to ignore these broken feelings for you that i hold
I don't know whats worse...

My dying wish
You are the secret on my lips
The lie that sways with my hips
Watch my self demise
Bite down into my light
I am the air in your broken lungs
The feeling of death that makes you numb
Watch this world burn
From your cold eyes that make
My heart come alive
I desperately fight to live
To take another breath
My soul clogged
As i watch you take the same knife
To end another magnificent life
As the finale slowly comes unto us
with a twist, you take my hand
What a tragedy written on my wrist
You only...
The lie that sways with my hips

Bite down into my light

To end another magnificent life

Sun kissed skin
Sun kissed skin
As i watch your hands dance on my hips
Your always so cold,
so pale, so slim we're opposites
Maybe we are just to different
Same age but different skin
Baby, how i love when we kiss
I watch your eyes close
As this heart of mine falls apart
The scenery seems so lively & colorful
Panting in his grip
Melting in his chest
Have you ever looked into someones eyes
&& decided if this man would die
He'd probably steal a piece of your heart && It'd die with him.

His Whore
Your wife called
Yelling claiming she knows it all
As i rolled across your bed
Laughing softly to myself
What a sick game i play
Night after night
Day after day
I sneak into your room
&& have passionate sex
While your heart lays with her
& Our bodies touch
You wife
Do you love her?
If she knew of my existence
Would it destroy her?
Your a sick man
Who makes his own plans
God wont forgive him.
You stole my innocence
Your grown & im still in pure bliss
Yet,...

Do you feel good when i feel worse?
Come to me only when you need me
Use me, never improve me
Break me down, never up
Watch me bleed, never get help
Expose me, don't you dare cover for me
Lie to me, i hate the truth
Hate me, loves not for everyone
Come to me only when you need to make yourself feel better.
Use me, never improve me
Break me down, never up
Watch me bleed, never get help
Expose me, don't you dare cover for me
Lie to me, i hate the truth
Hate me, loves not for everyone
Come to me only when you need to make yourself feel better.

Did you think of me?
Did you ever once think of me
While you were with her
Your hands running through her hair
Your lips against hers
Your witty lies closing the space in between you two
Everything you did to get me to get her to, sly.
Was i ever different?
Our kisses was it passionate or pointless?
Did you think of me while she was a "replacement"?
Do you feel like a man now?
Proudly making your friends aware,
Getting them to lie for you &
Abuse the trust i had in all of you.
You had yourself fooled, you though I'd...

My mother is a whore
My mother is a whore
& i am the first to be born.
Commonly known as the bastard in my family
Her only child with olive colored skin, of course i never fitted in.
My mothers a bitch
She screams and shots
Though I'm never touched
My mind it's jaded and broken down.
My mother is a victim
I'm her problem even though she has 3 other children.
I'm the one who cuts her heart into tiny pieces & leaves no evidence.
My mother isn't a mother
Just a fucking cunt who pretends to be there when your finally succeeding.

A lion in sheep's clothing
"I Love you" , He says.
"Your beautiful", He repeats.
"I've missed you", He cries tenderly to me.
All of these words said eye to eye.
All of these words a lie after lie.
"He was so talented", I'd say.
"He was so witty", I'd repeat.
"A lion in sheep's clothing", I'd cry,
"why couldn't i see?"
He was a fogged glass
Which i dared not to wipe to peak.
Looking into his accursed eyes
as he broke charity with me;
It was as if it took losing myself to find &...

The first & last try
Her words
Oh how they burn.
Her eyes
Oh how they lie.
Her gestures
Oh how they lead me astray.
For this is the woman who created me,
Only to defile & hate my life?
For this is the mother who nourished and cared for me,
only to denounce my life?
Her words,
Oh how they burn & destroy my purposes.
Her eyes,
Oh how they lie & fester with hatred.
Her gestures,
Oh how they lead me astray & yet towards my demise.
For this is the mother
Who created & destroyed who i am....
Oh how they burn.
Her eyes
Oh how they lie.
Her gestures
Oh how they lead me astray.
