POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Shadows
Shadows Speak
In the hollow of night,
where whispers coil,
Darkness blankets like a shroud of soil,
Echoes of screams that rattle the bone,
A cadence of sorrow, a heart turned to stone. Beneath the suffocating weight of despair, Dreams lie shattered—fragments in air.
With bruised emotions and eyes void of light,
I stumble through shadows
that consume me whole, each fright.
Abuse clings tighter than chains forged in pain, And silence is heavy, a storm without rain.
Yet deep in this darkness, a flame flickers dim
The will to fight...

In the heart of night
In the heart of night,
where shadows whisper secrets,
pain dances, a cruel partner
in a waltz spun of despair.
Life, a tapestry woven with frayed threads,
each stitch a reminder
of battles fought in silence,
of dreams carried on shoulders
too weary to bear their weight.
Here, in the cradle of darkness,
where breath feels like a burden
and laughter echoes like a forgotten song,
the spirit wanders—
an echo of what once was,
yet never fully lost,
searching for glimmers
through the cracked edges of existence. ...

Hope
"When darkness fills your sky and
swallows all your hope,
I'll be your beacon in the night,
burning bright, so you'll never be alone.
Let me guide you to a place of safety,
beyond all your worries and
the darkness that threatens
to consume your hope.
I'll be your shelter, your sanctuary,
keeping you away from harm,
until your hope shines bright again. And
together, we'll build new hope,
in the light of a brighter day,
a hope so strong that even
the darkest of darkness cannot take away."

Whispers
In the early morning
I can hear a small whispering voice
That's not my own
I don't know where it's coming from
Everything is normal except for the whisper
All day long it's fine
About 4 hours till night fall
It starts to get dark the a strange fog
Caring that whispering voice I hear
With each second passing
I feel a cold wind blowing ever so lightly and
the fog coming closer I hear whispers and screams
I shiver but not the good kind of shivers
A shiver that tells me to run
I'm frozen still
The fog is almost at my...

Be better soon
As I lie here, staring out the window
memories of us are flowing through my mind,
remembering how it used to be and how it is now
holding back as a tears are just about to fall
Telling myself I'll be stronger tomorrow
We will be ok but I kno that's just a lie
if you could see and feel what I feel
things would be different
instead it's constant sorrow and loneliness
Now I feel like I should run before it's to late
But my feet are mentally frozen I cannot move
it feels as if it's something about to break

Poison
Regrets, so many regrets hidden so well, behind a fake smile like a snake they strike. sometimes poisoning the heart
Memories of what ifs times gone and moments passed moments that should I want to cherish Are now haunted now gone with nothing to hold on to All the happiest times of my life with you, lost.
happier times never to repeat again ever, My mind, my body, and soul are forever change You are gone and my heart is in pieces How can this be my life now
Sitting alone lost I'm my thoughts the begining of you and me was so perfect again everything changed...

I miss you
Siting here in complete silence
watching the peaceful rain
My thoughts drift off.... to you and
I don't realize a tear falls
The pain in my heart comes next
One that is almost unbearable
As I began to weep.I can't help it..

PTSD
Why don't you beat me so
i kno that I've messed up again
I'm just a stupid person after all
Who can't do anything right
How can anyone love you
You are worthless and
you deserve to be beaten
every time you mess up
You should be ashamed of yourself
for being a mess up
All you do is sit there being so
emotional and cry it so childish
Clearly I'm gonna have to beat some sense into you
Don't cry or you'll be punished
A tear falls and I feel a slap on my face
You are so weak cry anymore and be punished...

My love
My love for you is like the raging sea,
So powerful and deep it will go on forever
Through every storm no matter how strong the storm is,
it will withstand every pain.
A Love so sweet,enduring,and forever lasting
I could say like this forever
I love you more with every heartbeat
my heart is yours and yours alone
I love you and I love us
Our hands just fit so perfect like a puzzle piece
that I've spent my whole life looking for my one and only
now that I've found you there is no going anywhere
again unless it's with...

My forever
You're so special and amazing more than you know
You're my soulmate, you're my lover, you're my best friend
It's your beautiful smile and it's your loving eyes

I kno our love is so strong we find each other again
No time or distance will ever change my love for you

You're my shoulder to cry on and my strength when I feel weak
I would do anything...

What's Next
I toss and turn in my sleep
Dreaming of things I can’t change.
I try to convince myself,
Thing will get better
Is it me,
Or is it you?
Do I try,
Or are we done?
So long we've shared and laugh.
But so much hurt along the way
What makes me stay
I stay because of love,
but will love be enough
Why do we do this,
Arranging so much
This isn't healthy
I love you, I dislike this feeling
That we are on the virge of breaking,
why do you say things you don't even mean
Is...

I'm becoming numb and emotional
I never meant for you to get sick grandma.
I feel like its my fault all the time
but I know it's not.
I know this is only temporary and
You'll be home soon
its only been a week and half
i miss you like its been 50 years.
Phone rings mom's crying
My heart emotionally stops
as a ocean of tears run down my face and
an echo of the words she's gone.....she died
as my heart breaks into a trillion pieces
