POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
lost.
When your world falls apart
And you have nowhere else to go
Life plans start disintigrating
Right before your eyes
And you have nowhere else to go
Life plans start disintigrating
Right before your eyes

who the f**k cares.
When you don't even realize
Why
Why it hurts
Why you care
When you don't even realize
When
When it happened
When it'll stop
When you don't even realize,
That's when its the worst...

Fighting off the voices
Drown them out
Bleed them out
Nothing works anymore
I dont remember
what quiet feels like
inside my own head
even when all is fine
ever present voices
haunt my mind
Bleed them out

The voices.
as i lay here
i feel myself
slipping into the darkness
its grabbing onto me
and pulling
its pulling so hard
my eyes are closing
and i feel it
the familiar emotions washing over me
the voices are coming back
louder this time
the voices are so loud
my body is tired and i am done
my heart is exhausted from beating to hard
my head is loud, unable to escape
i am being pulled
pulled harder than ever before
into a darkness that is so deep
The voices are back and they are so loud.

I wish you were here
I don't need you
but i want you.
I wish you wanted to be friends
i wish that you hadn't walked out of my life
I miss you
even though i swore i never would
i needed you today to protect me
and you weren't there
even though you said you always would be.
but i want you.

Another A+...
While I am here moving on
You are there being spiteful
While I am here applying to Princeton
You are there applying to McDonald's
I have passion, and drive, and prospect for the future
And you used to be part of that,
But now I find, I'm so much better off without you
I don't hate you
Not at all
But I do think we are better off apart
I wish you the best in whatever path you decide to follow.

Spine
My spine is a light fixture
hanging, lifeless but beautiful
illuminating hope and warmth
but so easily turned off
with just a switch
my spine can be darkened
My spine is the trunk of a tree
with limbs and stems
slender but sturdy
but so exposed to danger
with just one chop
my spine can be destroyed

Coping after Destruction
I wish i could tell you
that im alright
I wish that were the truth
but its not.
i am coping
in the best way?
absolutely not
but im managing to breathe everyday
it was destructive what we went through
even if it looks like im over it and alright
im not.
i am forcing myself to be ok.
so long answer short
im somewhat ok, but my light is definitely gone.

There's nowhere left to turn
I cant believe this is happening
not now, not here
Ive never had someone die
and honestly, i dont know how to feel
i wish i could talk to you
because youre the only person
who will ever understand me.
knowing you dont care anymore breaks me
if i could go back in time
i absolutely would
just to save what we had
not now, not here

Alluring,Addicting,Mysterious
There is something about this species,
that is everything I love
wonderful,
captivating and caring
They allow me to take chances
and that is my ode to you
Are there more like you?
Have I discovered what I need in life?
Your kisses are delicious
And your sex is daring, experienced and simply perfect
I wish to further explore this path
that I have so dangerously tumbled down

Ownership?
You cannot own a person,
cannot declare them "yours"
I was with you because I loved you,
you never owned me.
I loved being with you
I was happy
but now it's different.
you say it's my fault?
I'm confused.
we broke up.
I never cheated on you
I just moved on...
AFTER you decided that you didn't want me.
it hurt. a lot.
so I moved on the only way I know how
I'm sorry that you are broken,
it was never my intention
and you know that.

I know you think I hate you
and i want to, i really do
but i don't.
I just try and move on from the best thing
that ever happened to me
I know we aren't good together right now
and that's the hardest thing in the world to accept
I'm falling apart right now
for reasons that you have no idea about
and all i want is to be able to talk to you
when my life crumbles
you're the first person i think to turn too
and you aren't there anymore
i know we cant be together but sometimes like tonight
i wish i could let my guard down long enough to deal...
and i want to, i really do
