POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
You
I crave an odd type of intimacy others don’t see
Believe me
I just wanna be you.
I wanna indulge
I wanna touch you
Feel you
Caress you
Study you
Tell you how much I enjoy you
It’s always you
When I’m alone I’m not me
As sad as it seems
I want you
I wanna hold you
Touch you
Kiss you
Create a happiness
You’ve never experienced
Believe me
I just wanna be you.
I wanna indulge
I wanna touch you
Feel you
Caress you
Study you
Tell you how much I enjoy you
It’s always you
When I’m alone I’m not me
As sad as it seems
I want you
I wanna hold you
Touch you
Kiss you
Create a happiness
You’ve never experienced

Depths
I wish I was more
I wish we could talk
I wish I could reach a new depth
but sometimes
That depth isn't what you think.
I wanted to know
all of you
the little things
the big things
but I walked home.
I'll explain, this sadness
I fell short of
what you thought I was
I fell short,
of what I thought I was
I was disappointed twice.
I can't go a day
without thinking of you
I know i'm crazy
but I should be invisible to you
I am now
but I wasn't for that time
if I could stay again ...

Lost, but not.
Open my mind
free them
they washed you away
what do i mean?
you broke me
but before you did
i felt something
i hadnt felt
in so long
watching you lay next to me
say my name
one more time
open me
set me free
let me be
let me stay
for one more night
until the light
makes you disappear

they washed you away

Gone
Sometimes I’ll speak to myself
You okay?
It’ll be fine
Just keep going
Today is just rough
Sometimes it works
Most days it doesn’t
Today I’ve been down
I’ve been sad
Sometimes I miss how I used to be
Before the depression
Before the sadness
Before anxiety
Before I met you
And you
And, you.
But I’ve also grown a lot because of these things
But I still have my days.

Slowfast
Slowing down
Letting the air out
It’s all so loud
Here I stand with a frown
Bound to fade out
Speeding up
Inhaling the memories faded
Flowing with the memories
I wish I had stayed
Instead, here I fade
Let’s evade
Our minds
In due time
I’ll be fine.

Slow
Seeing you...
Seeing me..
Sunshine
Breathing
In and out
Slowly speaking
Tasting every word
That leaves
Her sweet mouth
She’s glowing
And I’m slowly
Sinking
Into her eyes
I know
I’m not a surprise
I know you’ll be fine
I can’t wait to see you glow
Seeing me..

I can’t wait to see you glow

Lullaby
It’s been nearly two years
And I still think of you
And the way your fingertips used to
Rush through my hair
Everything I couldn’t bare
Went away
It was my favorite
Way to fall asleep
Staring at you
Listening to you
the feeling of you
You
The only thing
Is
I’m missing you
And I still think of you
And the way your fingertips used to
Rush through my hair
Everything I couldn’t bare
Went away
It was my favorite
Way to fall asleep
Staring at you
Listening to you
the feeling of you
You
The only thing
Is
I’m missing you

Black
I’ve been alone lately
Not feeling myself lately
Stepping in front of traffic sounds better lately
Traffic.
Imagine heavy traffic
In your mind
Buts it’s not cars and stop lights
It’s more like
The music they’ll play at your funeral
With the thoughts playing their horns
It feels like thorns
Questioning why you were born
Will anyone mourn?
I just wish I could sleep.
Instead I’ll have another drink
Maybe that’ll fix it
In the back of my heavy traffic mind
I know it won’t.
I just wait long enough...

Anxiety
Up and down
Back and forth
Laying on the floor
I don’t wanna think anymore
I’m ready but I’m not
It’s a lot
and it won’t stop
I’m being cropped
Out
From this picture

faze
ill spend my night
seeking the light
that keeps you so bright
youre such a delight
watching you glow
going with the flow
im craving you more
what else is in store
i'll adore
i know we can't happen
but i'll continue to lay on the floor
and wish for more.

blue
What's it like to feel new?
sometimes I feel blue but that's not new
You left, I had no clue
I thought i was enough for us to stick like glue
maybe it's all in my head
why do i only think when I'm in bed
i wish i was dead
maybe I'm better off
hiding in this loft
for what it's worth
i know it's nothing
but i should of never been birthed.

Ease
And that’s it
Feelings
They come and go just like our seasons
Sometimes we try and hold on
Latching onto that feeling
That moment
That time
That person
We can try and keep it
But eventually it’ll pass
Sometimes with ease
Sometimes not.
