POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Technology
It seems like in this day of age
Technology has corrupted the youth
It's an addiction
Addiction so bad it's caused an apocalypse
Brain dead zombies
Looking at a small bright screen
Where's the fun in that?
Can't go 5 minutes without checking social media sites
People seem to have so much power when they have technology
Then when you see them in the real world all you can do is laugh
Technology is a drug that's spreading to the youth and contagious
Silent teenagers
All you can here is them pounding on there screen
Letter after...

End of Me
I'm stuck here wide awake
For reasons that are well known
You keep running through my head
It never stops
It's like you're running a marathon
Every second that flies by in the day
And you just keep becoming a memory
All the those good times
Yeah, I'm starting to remember
Don't know why
But it's making me cry
Sitting here fantasizing about you
And wishing you had the time to love me
I sound like a broken record
But is it possible to feel this way?
Over one girl
To feel sharp pains
Waking up to watery eyes
Holding your...

Reality
Reality is a strange thing
everything seems so real
but it's a figment that confuses you,
Illusion
Dream that's inside itself,
Inception
Makes you believe there's a certain path you have to follow
It puts all these obstacles in your way and expects you to overcome them
By yourself or with help
It gives no certain mission
You have to play detective just to find a path
But find yourself trapped at a dead end
Boat without a paddle
Shit out of luck
Reality likes to play mind games
Everything can be perfect at one point
Next it...

Time and Time Again
Time and time again
my mind brings up the fact that I used to be happy
my heart remembers how hard it was to breathe
I just can never escape what we used to have
you've probably found other fish in the sea
but they will never take the place in your heart
that I once held dear to me
Its now gone, but I can never say goodbye
too late to go back now
Time and time again
I go to the place where we shared our first kiss
that kept playing in my head the whole day
made me go on my knees, crying
I got low blowed by the ones I trusted
They...

Kids
As kids we wanted to grow older
it seemed like our destiny
it was all we ever wanted
no one wanted to be young
but what were we thinking
As time flew by, we realize we need to go back
The easiest of times are far behind us
and we can't do anything about it
all we can do is remember back to the past
and cherish it as if it was a lost soul
Hold on to the good times
Cause soon it will be nothing to you later on
As kids we got away with everything
stealing cookies was the only crime we thought was wrong
all it did was send us to...

Separate Ways
We were both at the point in our lives
a fork in the road
but we couldn't travel this path together
so we had to disband
break apart
break up
A choice that would make things better
We both had our separate passions
dreams
wishes
hopes
Realization kicked in that we had to follow the dreams
but not as a pack
a single letter
we must be shipped
across the world we go
meeting new people
I never thought it could be this simple
Times went on, I found my passion
writing about you,
our love,
and most importantly,...

A Day to Remember
Theres a simple day
just one in paricular that differs from the rest
the day I met you
I kept that day close to my heart
just in case I have to remember back to the past
im gonna take the Delorean back in time
cause I can't live without that smile
it makes me know everythings okay
just atleast for the day.
The day we met, I remember those eyes
Brightest shade of the color possible
I could of never imagined something more simple
simple but beautiful at the same time
I could never forget who introduced us
I will have to repay him...

If I had wings
If I had wings, I'd fly to you
You, I want to be next to
I never wanted to leave your side
but the tide of the sun went down
and the light of the moon seperated us
But I'll be the stars
If you'll promise to be the sky that keeps me in place
Our love is bound
the moons gravity couldn't hold us down
We'd travel the universe
Without no space ship
it will be like a cartoon
We won't need helmets
All I need is your hand
As we go and travel this universe together
Bound to space we'd fly
to infinity and beyond
You, I want to be next to

So Far Away
My heart cries as you're no longer here
My side means nothing without you by it
the moment you went away, I did too
my happy place
Where I know I can always be with you
every breathing second just hearing your voice
Knowing this isn't real is killing me inside
but, I'm making my imagination last
like I'm Alice in Wonderland
or trapped in the closet of Narnia
I just want to believe so I won't have to keep thinking
Thinking that you're not here and waisting tears on someone that got away
but this is real,
My emotions,

The Lies You Say
You said forever and always
I decided to go different ways
because baby i know what will happen
everything will be perfect for the most half
then everything will become a laugh
youll forget the love we shared
my heart wont be repaired
It would just remain shattered
all over the place, scattered
the blood will be on the walls, splattered
and all you would do is just stand their
You said you would wait for me
hunny your like a queen bee
Every guy wants to be around you
You don't realize how many guys like you
and how many girls...

One Way Love
Why is this love only one way
I'm the only one trying to believe in us
The clouds don't even match the sky
that's how bad my heart hurts
just seeing you giving mixed signals
I just hope I don't crash
for I know the dead end is coming
You press your lips against mine
rub your fingers through my hair
even use those 3 words on me
I don't understand whats going on
feels like I'm in a time warp
on my way to another dimension
were everything's backwards
but the hardest decision to choose from
if this real or not
should I pinch...

3 words, 8 letters
"3 words, 8 letters"
I can never express them perfectly
I'm just sitting here holding you
I don't know if I should try to
Because this could be the end of us
Follow the yellow brick road to my heart
deep inside you will know what its like
to know how much you mean to me
you'll like what you see
cause inside its your perfect fantasy
I love you
for everything that you have done
for being able to make this work
I'm proud to have you in my life
For without you, I don't think I can see
the colors of the rainbow would...
