POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
The sun loved the moon
I wish I can go back to the days
Where we stargazed
Far away those days are now
I feel so down
Down from space, I’ve lost my way
I miss those days
Where your breath made me feel peace
I could almost say it was a breeze
Among the stars and in the open space
I thought I found my place
I loved you like the sun that burned for the moon
As she gave her light so the moon could shine bright
Where we stargazed
Far away those days are now
I feel so down
Down from space, I’ve lost my way
I miss those days
Where your breath made me feel peace
I could almost say it was a breeze
Among the stars and in the open space
I thought I found my place
I loved you like the sun that burned for the moon
As she gave her light so the moon could shine bright

When it rains it pours
Showers bring flowers
Or so I’ve been told
Yet I feel like I’m drowning
Leaving no room for growth
I’m getting old
Yet I’m still a fool
Not any wiser than I was
When it rained
When it rains it pours
I don’t feel my worth
I feel like I’m out of place
On earth
I’m from out of this world
And everything stains
I wish for no more rain
As I hold my umbrella of hope
I’m trying to cope
Life’s how you make it or so I say
But I why do I feel pain
It rains and rains
I’m waiting for the sun
Or so I’ve been told
Yet I feel like I’m drowning
Leaving no room for growth
I’m getting old
Yet I’m still a fool
Not any wiser than I was
When it rained
When it rains it pours
I don’t feel my worth
I feel like I’m out of place
On earth
I’m from out of this world
And everything stains
I wish for no more rain
As I hold my umbrella of hope
I’m trying to cope
Life’s how you make it or so I say
But I why do I feel pain
It rains and rains
I’m waiting for the sun

Run
Disappointment is no stranger to me
As they fail to keep me
Entertainment is an ease
But for some I turn to run
I go as far as the sea
In hopes no one can reach me
I run far from your arms
Your touch
It all feels too rough
My heart can’t take it
I let you in and now I wish you out
Anger is my outward expression
But the tears of sadness roll in
Down my face I stare outside
And hope the rain will fall
Waterfall drops that drown the sound
Of me crying out
Trust is something I find hard to give
Why did...
As they fail to keep me
Entertainment is an ease
But for some I turn to run
I go as far as the sea
In hopes no one can reach me
I run far from your arms
Your touch
It all feels too rough
My heart can’t take it
I let you in and now I wish you out
Anger is my outward expression
But the tears of sadness roll in
Down my face I stare outside
And hope the rain will fall
Waterfall drops that drown the sound
Of me crying out
Trust is something I find hard to give
Why did...

Valentine’s
The day of love is one I hate
Reminds me of your absence
Your grave laid overgrown
No headstone
Just the flowers from your funeral
The day you left was unreal
I still cry in my sleep
Curled into a ball in hopes to keep me sane
But nothing has changed
Your absence is suffocating
I close my eyes in hopes to find you in my dreams
But instead I’m bursting at the seams
Why did you have to go
I thought if I did well you’d stay a while
What a lie
I can’t bring myself to forgive you for going too soon
No flowers or...

Frenzy
Complete and utter opposites
Dark eyes that see through mine
I count to ten and remember to breathe in
Only, my body never listens
My cheeks are flushed
And my mind runs
Many thoughts I have
Each one that can spin me into a frenzy
Left in my thoughts
With cold hands they come to a stop
Nothing lingers
Dark eyes that see through mine
I count to ten and remember to breathe in
Only, my body never listens
My cheeks are flushed
And my mind runs
Many thoughts I have
Each one that can spin me into a frenzy
Left in my thoughts
With cold hands they come to a stop
Nothing lingers

She waited
She waited
Every sunrise she would check her phone
Only to still feel alone
Almost like she was left behind
Only she was left behind
The apologies were meaningless
The necklace
The one thing that kept her grounded
Now broken as the glass from a busted vase
Just like the empty promises he never kept
The sun would set
She waited
Until there was nothing left
Every sunrise she would check her phone
Only to still feel alone
Almost like she was left behind
Only she was left behind
The apologies were meaningless
The necklace
The one thing that kept her grounded
Now broken as the glass from a busted vase
Just like the empty promises he never kept
The sun would set
She waited
Until there was nothing left
