POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Poetry is my love.
Love
My perspective on love is that it is always painful.
I have loved and lost,
Fought and given up.
I have focused on my trauma as if it were the reason,
I was unable to grow as a man.
Spent a few years lonely and bitter,
Thinking love was not for me.
Wondering if this time I was truly broken.
All of this has changed since you came along
And I wonder if I am taking this too far
But I have never fallen so deep into a pair of eyes
So eager to welcome me home.

So eager to welcome me home.

Let's go back in time.
You were my everything...
And at eleven months into this exhausting love I witnessed your first betrayal.
I know I said everything was okay
But my trust was never fully restored after that.

Idk
I pull my cupboard doors open
And for a second I’m fucking paralysed.
And for a second I’m fucking paralysed.

She said...
She said move on,
I already have.
She said don't you shed a tear over me,
I never will.
She said mend your broken heart...
I promise,
It beats stronger than ever.
She said don't you miss my love...
I swear,
I never experienced it in the first place...

I don't think I've ever met someone so good with words.
Even for a poet,
you sure do run rings around me.
It was hard for me to see the lies.
It was difficult for me to realise the eyes I had been looking into for so many years, were empty and fake.
Like glass they reflected back to me all the things I wanted to see...
We aren't special....
We weren't right for each other
cause we aren't on the same level.
You believe in things and actions I will never.
You believe in lies, I will never.
You're interested in things I'll never be...

We knew better.
It started out simple,
Fools struck gold.
In the form of love,
In our youth,
And we had it all.
Dramatic,
Forbidden
But we knew better.
You held me the way,
A tree hugs the earth.
I was your life,
You were mine.
But somewhere along the line,
We lost our way.
Bitten by snakes,
We let the poison set in
And eat away at the flesh that joined two hearts together.
But if someone had tried to tell us we end up like this,
We'd laugh in their face,
Cause we knew better.
They didn't...

Yours truly,
To ____________________
I've been in my mind and in my feelings.
I've been analyzing the lies and unraveling minds.
Been reliving the feeling of people leaving.
Reliving pulling the knife from my chest,
While puking up the lining in my gut.
I've come to the conclusion that I am to blame,
For slipping down to my knees for whores
And begging dead beats to stay when they will never be a loyal friend.
Time will revel all.
So I raise this drink,
To the ones who think they've out done me.
Cause I’m not done yet. ...

Late night scribbles
- Your new boyfriend looks like he stinks... but, if you could be THAT vile then you might as well reek.
- And it’s true I write about every girl I fall in love with or think I'm in love with.
But that’s just what I do.

I wish I could blame you for all this.
Feeling like I've been asleep for 26 days.
Creeping out of bed in the early AM,
Walking to the bathroom putting my fist through the wall.
As I feel my brain crack, crack, crack,
SNAP.
Gone,
Lost again.
Falling into rage and obsession.
I see mirrors,
But I never see anything in them!
And I want to blame you for all of this!
But I can’t….
It’s just me.
And I lie to myself everyday saying,
“its okay, you’re doing all that you can”
Sitting in the corner crying,
Swaying.
Repeating to myself that...

This is why you don't break a Poet's heart....
This Spam of emotions in the form of poems is well overdue,
All the memories and hurt have come flooding back into my skull.
Overflowing my brain,
And it’s inspiring me to write these lines.
No, I’m not sorry
Cause now its time for me to be selfish.
And I’m going to vent these feelings until they don’t exist anymore.
Until you’re out of my head.

I hope you're as happy as you pretend to be.
I hope you’re at your happiest right now.
Now that you don’t have to deal with the drama,
Of our relationship.
Now that you don’t have to worry about even talking to me,
Or seeing my face.
I hope you’re feeling better now.
Now that I’m out of the picture,
Now that you don’t have me stressing you out.
Making everything so hard for you,
Yeah isn't that what you said?
I hope you’re doing great!
See you’re full of shit,
I refuse to listen to your lies like that.
Cause you’re the kind of person that thinks everything is...

Re written : Here's to all the times.
Here’s to all the times you've gone away,
Left me here broken and ashamed.
Like I wasn't worth shit.
Here’s to all the times you've put me down.
When you kicked me in the guts after breaking my heart,
But I ain't worth shit, right?
Here’s to all the times you said you loved me,
Said I was your everything.
Remember the time you told me,
You’d rather die than lose me?
And now I’m just a mistake,
Another one to add to your list.
Here’s to the time you left me for dead,
Begging you crying and scared.
You turned your back on me....
Left me here broken and ashamed.
Like I wasn't worth shit.
