POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
burnt out
When the fire is extinguished
When the passion no longer rules
That is when I think, about some of my
More wilder days.
The feelings are still warm
Loving and kind
I could be with you forever
Until the day I die
Sometimes though...
I think about the mystery, the intensity and the flame
I think about all those years
Where all I did was play
When the passion no longer rules
That is when I think, about some of my
More wilder days.
The feelings are still warm
Loving and kind
I could be with you forever
Until the day I die
Sometimes though...
I think about the mystery, the intensity and the flame
I think about all those years
Where all I did was play

Alive
You make me feel alive
There is sunshine shooting from my fingertips
My body is elated and floating on cloud nine
I feel love and passion
Desire courses through my veins
I want you.
But I also crave your emotional support
You offer me what no one has before
The stregth to carry on when I feel hope is lost
Pursuing what I want will never be easy
Knowing you're behind me is making it bearable
I'm in love with you
And you're in love with me.
I accept that and welcome it with open arms
Mostly because you make me feel...

The same for you.
Apparently I'm easy to love
I'm beautiful and smart and kind
I vaguely remember you saying these things,
But it was all so long ago
This time I will try to listen
The pain that comes with not listening
Is more than I can go through again.
We were so long ago
I've heard you're still in love with me
I'm sorry you still hurt
I can't change that
I can only tell you that since I've found love again
I wish the same for you.

ongoing battles
The perpetual favouring of one child over another is tiresome. Get over youself. We all know you don't like me. It would be hard for you to make that any clearer. Its petty and immature to bad mouth me to other siblings. I don't appreciate you making me feel unwanted with every glare. I don't know why you resent me, and I don't care. But its your problem-not mine.

ah yes.
I forgot how much it fucking hurts.
I quickly remembered however,
how much it helps.

sisterly love
Learning to be happy with what you have is one of the hardest things, I look at you and I'm jealous when I should be happy. You're happy and going to have an amazing life together, I'm trying to be happy for you. I do your makeup when you go on dates and you wear my shoes. You come home with flowers and smiles, you deserve it. I'm trying to be happy with what I have but it is so hard when yours looks so perfect.

belonging to another
I've brought a smile to anothers life
Given them the chance to love
Allowed myself to be loved
Once upon a time
I never would of thought this possible
Being in the situation now,
Is the best thing that's happened since you left me
My heart is not whole
Nor will it ever be
But what's left of it now belongs to another
Given them the chance to love
Allowed myself to be loved
Once upon a time
I never would of thought this possible
Being in the situation now,
Is the best thing that's happened since you left me
My heart is not whole
Nor will it ever be
But what's left of it now belongs to another

hard days
Its been a rough day...
First you pop into my mind,
I'm reminded of our precious time
Next I realize I'm 14 days past my prime
Not ready for the next step in life
An old lover reappears
Making me blush around my ears
Its been a rough day and the one I'm with,
Knows not how to talk but only how to kiss

gaining control
I know this probably is hurting you
Possibly ripping you apart
But please know
You will always be in my heart
I can't be sad anymore
Can't think about the pain
Moving on is the only way
To gain control of my life
My intention never was to hurt you
Nor will it ever be
But this is all I can do right now
Its what I have to do for me.

But this is all I can do right now
Its what I have to do for me.

Insensitive and Loud
You are a bully.
You purposely embarass me but
You only make yourself look like a fool
You are lazy.
You delegate to anyone who will listen but
Your words are cold and cruel
You are crazy.Insensitive.and Loud.

Sadness
Drowning in sadness, pain and hurt. I wish I could talk to you without all the extra flirt. Craving your affection, your love and tender care. Not being able to share my thoughts with you right now, is more than I'm able to bear.

craving the crimson
As I'm laying here,
Offering advice to others
Who so desperately seek it,
All I want is what's worst for me.
To feel the blood wash away the pain.
The dripping of crimson down my hand.
Its all I want.
As those I help get better,
I cant help but slipping further and further,
Into the comfortable chaos
That is my own mind.
