POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
just a girl pouring out pain into poetry.
Roses are red
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I know you know
I love you
Blood is red
Dispair is blue
I thought you loved me
How dare you
Dripping red
Tears so blue
How dare you take
What isn't for you
Wrists are red
Mind oh so blue
Death sounds so sweet
Don't you think so too
Rage is red
Depression is blue
I hate myself
All thanks to you
Blades are red
Veins are blue
My pain just reminds
Reminds me of you
Eyes are red
Tears are blue
The festering in me
It's because of you
Roses are red...
Violets are blue
I know you know
I love you
Blood is red
Dispair is blue
I thought you loved me
How dare you
Dripping red
Tears so blue
How dare you take
What isn't for you
Wrists are red
Mind oh so blue
Death sounds so sweet
Don't you think so too
Rage is red
Depression is blue
I hate myself
All thanks to you
Blades are red
Veins are blue
My pain just reminds
Reminds me of you
Eyes are red
Tears are blue
The festering in me
It's because of you
Roses are red...

There once was a princess
Dainty and sweet
She hoped for a prince
To sweep her off her feet
However this poor princess
Had a very different kind of fate
An evil lurked and took her
For its own desires to sate
And the princess was no longer
Dainty and sweet
And nor did she hope for a prince
To sweep her off her feet
Her world turned black
Gone the ribbons. The bows. The pink.
She wrapped herself in black
In steel armor without a kink
The princess's heart turned dark
A heart black and brittle
She turned...

Dragon Eggs
Dragon's sleeping
Dreaming of delicious sheep
Yummy yummy sheep.
It's mouth is yawning
Huge clouds of smoke drift upward.
The dragon awakes.
She is walking out
Scales shining in the sunlight
The leaves are falling.
She looks for breakfast
Sparkly bright sapphire scales
and emerald green eyes.
Finished with breakfast
She returns to her dark cave
to her nest of gems.
In her nest of gems
Lie three beautiful eggs
Red, blue, and green gems.
Something has happened!
Cracks...

My Forest
I love to explore the woods at home,
Where I have the freedom to roam.
The beautiful forest I see
Appears to me as a great big sea.
A babbling brook befuddles me
With it's constant chanting of "to be."
I am free to find surprises like berries
And read books from several libraries.
The berries taste tart and oh so sweet,
Warm dirt covers my cold bare feet.
I like to climb up high in trees
While trying to look out for the bees.
It smells like dirt and nature out there.
Sadly, I have yet to see any trace of a bear.

A Broken Valentine
I made a love note for you,
So we could trade notes for Valentine's Day
And you would know I love you.
But you gave your note to her
And you broke my heart on Valentine's Day.
I had thought you loved me too.
So I just sat on the floor
And I cried as I saw you look at her
And then I just walked away.
I loved you with all my heart
I left you and went home to cry again
And took my broken heart too.

Waiting for a Knight
When I read a fairytale with a happy ending
I cry because I know that I will never have a perfect prince.
It is unlikely that someone would come and try fixing
This sad and broken thing called me.
But if they did, I would weep in happiness
Because someone loved me for me.
Most ignore me because I'm not that pretty,
They don't even try to get to know me.
Those that do know me still don't want me,
Why bother when there are prettier ones around.
With every rejection, I retreat farther into myself.
If only they saw me for who I really am.

A Being of Darkness, a Creature of the Night
I watched the girl stroll down the path,
Ashamed of my longing for her blood.
I sat wishing that upon me would fall God's wrath.
I wasn't always a vampire... no, a demon.
It all started when I was doing my homework for math.
There was no one else at home and as I got ready for bed,
I heard a rustle and then a tapping on my window.
I turned and saw two beady bat eyes that glowed red.
I felt a sudden urge to open the window as I looked in to those orbs.
As I opened it, the bat flew in and on the dresser I hit my head.
I awoke several...

A Gothic Summer Vacation
School is out at last,
But I know summer won't last.
So, I'll party each night
And it'll be quite a sight,
Just me and my Gothic friends.
Rocking till the police come, whom my neighbor sends.

The Way I am
I started out - a sweet innocent child,
Now I have become something strange and wild
No one understands - not my mom or my dad
They all think that I am just troubled or mad.
Well, news flash - I like myself the way I am.
Yea I'm Goth, so what?!
You think that I'm like a mutt?
Well I'm not, so take your beating
And pick your sorry butt up, while your head is ringing
Don't mess with me or else you'll end up on the hard ground.

Broken Heart
I look out my window
To see a girl lying low,
About to burst in tears.
It has come true, all of her fears.
She was left for another girl,
One with a head of soft curl
And emerald green eyes.
He did not even give good-byes.
She thought he was the one,
But he left her at a run.
He never again looked her way.
The next day, "I love you" she heard him say,
But he was not talking to her.
He was talking to the other girl for sure.
And he had left her with a sad broken heart.
A sad broken heart.
