Poet Introduction
Writing is my therapy, my escape and one of the very few things in life that feels right to me.

Painting Love
Repressed emotions from a complex past
Become simple images of profound beauty
When they meet your hands
A new me
Transpires before the eyes of the world
I'm like a whole different girl
With not one missing piece on display
When you touch me
With reassuring tenderness
You awaken something within my soul
That I never knew existed
It helps me illuminate and glow from within
This light shines more brightly than I've ever been
Even when standing on my own in my most secure moments
An uncovered secret I was unaware I'd kept...

A Quest For Balance
Falling into the depths of emotional waters
That I once treaded carefully
Used to be waves that carried me
Now it just feels like quicksand beneath my feet
My exhausted heart is falling from my chest
And being dragged down into the darkness below
Used to come here with my head above at best
Now where I am I just don't know
Rain seems like a thing of the distant past
Though clouds hover over me and threaten to come down
They never do, and I am left alone
To pretend that I am feeling something, anything
I lost the...

Show Me
Take this heart of mine
Soak it in your blood
Paint me with all of your sorrow
Submerge me in your anguish
Until I become at one with
The hurt that consumes your soul
Make me into the image of your scars
So I can understand you better
Because I want to know what it's like
I used to want to help you
But now I don't know how to
Instead I'm losing my way in life
So I want you to show me how to be
Everything that you are
I want you to help me see
How it feels to take it too far
I want to forget about caring ...
Soak it in your blood

Ok
Expressions of my feelings on display for you to see
Told you about this hurt you've caused inside of me
And the only word that your brain can formulate to speak
Is "ok"
Just "ok"
I sat there in silence in a frozen space in time
A sense of emptiness transformed me to a blank state of mind
I'd lost the will to respond I said I had no reply
And you said "ok"
Just "ok"
Pain shot through my chest but I stopped it in its course
Numbing out the feeling and fought it with full force
It's too hard for me to care and I...

Rather Know
I'd rather know than not know
Because then I have the chance to move on
To find a way to let you go
And search for a love so strong
If you're not feelin' it just say it
Yes of course it's going to make me sad
My heart will feel a lot of pain but
It's not going to be that bad
I'll get through the tears and dry my eyes
And make my way back to a smile
Things will get easier as time goes by
It will just take me a little while
I might lock myself in my home
And shut out the world completely
Tell everyone my chance at love as gone
And not...

Dead Truth
I wanted you to know that \I love you more than anything
To never doubt the authenticity of my affection
To know with true certainty that I'd always be here
And that I'd answer every call without a question
So I gave myself to you
Every part of me from the top to the bottom
The gates of my heart opened up only to
Let you flood it with love only you could give
I wanted to accept and never reject whatever you had
No matter how hard it was or how much it hurt
I'd be there through the good and the bad
I'd fight to make this relationship work

Why
Why
Can't you ever compliment me
Without comparing me to someone else?
There's always someone who can do things better
I know this already
But why can't I ever be good at anything?
I'm not talking about on a world scale
Or whether I succeed or fail
I'm talking about how I appear in your view
I just wanna be recognized in your eyes
Seen as someone who is good enough
Not just someone who is full of flaws
I have abilities that she doesn't have
I know more than him you said that
'But there are people smarter and better than you'
Yeah I...

Ice Walls
My walls protect me, yes they stand so tall
I'm barricaded inside them confident they'll never fall
You can't touch me because they won't let me feel a thing
Keeping me as cold as ice shielded from the pain that love can bring
My heart is locked away for it must be frozen
To preserve all the good that's left of my emotion
Love shall melt it when the time is right
But that time is not tonight
So I'm gonna walk away to my house made of ice
Don't try to follow me, don't even think twice

Actions Tell
On the surface we have so many complexities
But it's what's underneath that keeps us here for more
If we express emotion through simplicity
Both of us will only try to ignore
Overwhelmed by truth that our souls offer
We often long for it to be there
But sometimes when we get what we're wanting
It only seems to leave us scared
Because caring can be a dangerous action
If the other person doesn't feel the same
Words can conceal the reaction
Of the risk that we're afraid to take
But the emotion never disappears
Intuition will tell you so if you...

Difficult Realizations
Sweet and Trustworthy
With no intention to hurt me
Caring and loving
Always accepting never judging
True and sincere
Always there when I need an ear
Helpful and kind
Definitely deserving of my time
But lately I've been thinking
That maybe we should do some switching
Because we're both at different stages
And want to move at different paces
I'm ready for a future
But you're never really too sure
You're content with how things are
Knowing a hand is not too far
But I want to move on from all of that
It's clear to me that...

Tired
Words
I don't know why you said them
Hurts
Not close to perfection
Days
I spend contemplating our end
Ways
To get back to myself again
Clocks
Shout that time is running out
Stop
This is not what love's about!
Breathe
Feel
I forget last time I smiled
Real
You're just simply in denial
Drained
I've tried as hard as one can try
Pained
On the verge of breaking down inside
Nights
I wonder why I'm next to you
Lights
I search for in darkest truths
Why?
False
Empty promises...

Bleed Me
Bleeding heart beside your bed
Longing for emotion that it never gets
Exposed for you to see and stomp on when you want
Touch it, feel it, cut it up, make it stop
Watch it lay still frozen in time at your command
Anxiously awaiting your next wish your every demand
Open for penetration from the knife that longs to thrust deep
Your never ending slashes can revive this heartbeat
Cold to the touch but warming to the soul inside
It pierces through my skin and so easily it glides
Stabbing through to the depths of my inner core
Leaving me crying out for...
