POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
. My poems center around relationships, the good, the bad and the ugly. That's the only thing that seems to inspire my writing. I hope you enjoy and feedback is welcomed.
Now & Then
I remember when a time without you brought tears
But there is a difference between now and then...
Change.
See change determined for you who you would lie next to
Change determined for me to see what lies beneath you
Under your beautiful manicured feet was me
You see, I didn't realize how much weight you had placed on me
Love is really blind cuz at the time I saw what I wanted to be mine
And I grasped it and didn't let go
No matter how much the rope ripped against my hand
I still held on
To a vision which was untrue,
My made up vision of you...

What else is there to do
Ima love the fuck outta you
No matter how much shit you put me through Ima love the fuck outta you
Simply cuz I don’t know what else to do
I don’t know any better because you are my better,
My tomorrow, my next day, my forever
You think I’m afraid of you?
I’m afraid of not being true to myself
I’m afraid of not loving you until there’s nothing left
I guess you're the scared one
Scared of being loved and protected,
Cared for and respected
It’s a daunting thought for...

Broken
When I think about us
I wish I could pretend that everything was perfect
I wish that I could say that maturity growing in two different ways is why we are separate
But we both know that’s not true
Between me and you
We both know what happened
Why?
Is still being debated
I say you, you say me, I say we, you say me
Truth is, we’re both guilty
Our past made an appearance in our presence that ruined our future
You were trying to forget him
I was forgetting her
Our foundation was made of past regrets and false hope
We mended...

Disappearing Acts
You miss my words? I pulled up to your house nervous beyond measure. I played every scenario in my head of what could possibly happen. My friend gave me confidence but I didn’t want to be naive. I was prepared for what I was met with. Anger, confusion, lack of understanding, frustration, lack of communication and lack of compassion is what you threw at me. But how? I was the same receiver of surprise flower petals, candles, candy, chocolate and music. Have you forgotten what you’ve done for me? Have you forgotten what you said to me? You are the perfect heartbreak. The love I have for you is...
