POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
If ever you're scorned....wish not death for revenge, but impotence. :)
I am catastrophe.
Bleed, licked clean.
Cry, licked clean.
When you die, I will not sing your song.
You must suffer like me.
I'll hold your head up.
You'll smile from your neck.
Scream, licked clean.
Tremble, licked clean.
Kiss my rusted lips, I am catastrophe. :)
Cry, licked clean.
When you die, I will not sing your song.
You must suffer like me.
I'll hold your head up.
You'll smile from your neck.
Scream, licked clean.
Tremble, licked clean.
Kiss my rusted lips, I am catastrophe. :)

Prison, time.
The ringing in my ear reminds me of ice cream and actrocity.
Massacre after massacre.
Raised on death and mint chocolate chip.
When I look up in the sky, I don't see blue.
I'm in a room, with black walls and red shag carpet.
I see someone smiling at me, an alligator waiting patiently for it's next meal.
Tomorrow rarely interests me, break-neck finger trembling.
They say to me: "One day at a time, all we can do."
The phone taunts me like a bully.
"press pound"
The other end of the line is always dead.

The year of the Liar.
Like a psychic vampire, come inside.
Take your fill.
I'm here for you.
To plunder upon.
Tell me how much you like this.
Tell me how much you like me.
All the favors.
All the favors I felt to give you.
Dead memories.
Dead emotions.

Perihelion of heart.
Brick by brick, understand.
A drop in water, safety first.
No choice, important.
Fear of life, disremember.
Baskets of fruit, heal.
Tomorrow will happen.

Forest of bridges
I am fat
I am ugly
And I am angry
I close my mind
I know nothing's working
And I want freedom
I felt your pain
I felt what it meant to me
And I felt you trade me in too
All life is is journey
It's all in the mind
Wake up before you get taken
Walk around like a fool
Happiness for its sake lies
A sense of worth only comes from within
Don't believe me
Don't believe in me
I only offer mirrors....

Wake up before you get taken
Walk around like a fool

Don't believe me

When a friend dies.
I had to figure it out for myself that you died.
Nobody gave me the respect to tell me what happened.
I paced nights, wondering if you're ok.
Your last message to me was: "I'll be fine."
You never gave me the room to care, but I cared anyway.
I cared because I saw something in you worth saving.
But you didn't heed my words.
Nobody heeds my words.
People treat me like I'm some horrible joke.
That, "how could I dare care about someone who didn't care about me."
I cared, because you gave me the things to care...

Hand-held
If I held out my hand.
Would you bite it?
If I smile at you.
Would you smile back?
Hand over heartache.
Just be careful.
When you lied to me.
I saw the truth in your eyes.
When I decided to stay.
I knew I'd never leave alive.
Mouth over heartache.
Just be careful.
How we moved on.
Was how much I stood still.
How I felt that then.
Was how it felt in my hands.
Ears over heartache.
Just be careful.
Is it any wonder.
That I felt nothing for you anymore.
Is it any...

I died six months ago.
Nobody ever understands.
There is always this disconnect, ringing in my ears.
Am I really that hard to relate with?
And why will none of you allow me to live this down?
With your eyes, I see what you really say.
They tell me I'm soap, here to clean you.
You're built up, at the expense of breaking me down.
And you have the nerve to tell me everything's fine.
Despite six months ago, there is always a lesson to be learned.
I'm going back to my hidden place to be born again.

I am nothing, once something.
Once, I was that person.
But you have me by the throat now.
You tell me "do this" or burn in Hell.
Never ask questions.
Never be concerned.
Never show I care.
Just grin and nod.
Act like the apocolypse isn't here.
Or, I'll never see you again.
I reached out in trust.
You took that gift and dragged it through the mud.
To see when I'll break, like a curious selfish child.
You did this to see how far you can push someone.
You did this to watch me suffer.
You did this know, in case you have to do this again to...

The noose is coming.
It's almost here.
And it's going to fit around my neck.
Whether I like it or not.
It's going around my neck.
I can't stop it.
It's coming.
I'm just wasting time.
Faces wasted.
Nothing will stop it.
I can feel it around my neck already.
I can feel it laughing at me
Nothing will ever come so quick.
When it comes.
I will be made to be ready.
I will scream and fight for my life.
No breakfast for someone the world wants dead....
And it's going to fit around my neck.
Whether I like it or not.
It's going around my neck.
