POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Broken Shut
He broke shut.
Not open.
Breaking open
Would mean he
Spilled out
Everywhere.
But he didn't.
He broke shut.
It all stayed
Inside.
Not open.
Never open.
He couldn't
Open up.
If he ever opened,
He opened shut.
Shut.
He broke shut.
He lived
In the past.
The future
Didn't exist.
But his past
Was shut.
He used to try.
Try to time travel.
To live
In the present.
To live at all.
To live open.
But he dies
Broken shut.
Not open.
Breaking open
Would mean he
Spilled out
Everywhere.
But he didn't.
He broke shut.
It all stayed
Inside.
Not open.
Never open.
He couldn't
Open up.
If he ever opened,
He opened shut.
Shut.
He broke shut.
He lived
In the past.
The future
Didn't exist.
But his past
Was shut.
He used to try.
Try to time travel.
To live
In the present.
To live at all.
To live open.
But he dies
Broken shut.

Bridges
Last chance
To prove you really do
Love me
Like when we were
At the bridge.
Buy me roses
So we can set them on fire
At drop them
Flaming
Off the bridge.
The bridge
I almost jumped off
To kill myself
That one time.
Kiss me
Untill I can't breathe
Anymore
In the shadows
Of the crossbeams
Under the bridge.
The bridge
Where you held my hand
With your own.
Write me a letter
About what you would tell me
If you wrote me a letter
And leave it
At the bridge.

clouds
i watch my hands shake.
i'll take anything,
to make the hurt stop.
the world around me fades.
smoke fills me,
so i float away.
my eyes turn red and dilate,
i create things,
that don't exist.
fog slowly fills me up,
my pain leaks out,
into the sky.
i feel like i can fly away.
i want to stay here,
full of clouds.
i start to fall down.
slamming hard,
into the ground.
the clouds rain down my pain.
i get soaked,
and scream.
without my cloud i'm broken down.
i need it to live,
and to breathe.
i'll take anything,
to make the hurt stop.
the world around me fades.
smoke fills me,
so i float away.
my eyes turn red and dilate,
i create things,
that don't exist.
fog slowly fills me up,
my pain leaks out,
into the sky.
i feel like i can fly away.
i want to stay here,
full of clouds.
i start to fall down.
slamming hard,
into the ground.
the clouds rain down my pain.
i get soaked,
and scream.
without my cloud i'm broken down.
i need it to live,
and to breathe.
