POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
i write poems about love and losing someone close, also about anger and hate. all of my poems come from the heart and mean alo to me.. hopefully to you to.
you kiss my cheek
You kiss my cheek
and walk away
I am waiting
for you to say
I love you
But instead
you break my Heart
with your unkind words
"can we just be friends?"
I look away
A knife through
my heart
You try to
touch my cheek
I turn away
Why can't we
be more than
Friends
That is all
I ever wanted
And More
when you said
those unkind words
you ripped my
heart to shreds
I won't forget you
Every time our song
comes on
I will think
of you and sigh
Every time you call me
I...

they call me emo
From start to finish I wonder why
The cuts look good in this messed up lie
The blood that trickles down my arm
People all stare at the guy who self-harms:-
"The emo" they call me
I turn to my name
They act out slicing their wrists
I hang my head in shame
I can't help my feelings
Of being alone
I hide myself for the day
Just longing to go home
I sprawl on my bed
With my razor in hand
And take myself away
To a much better land
I stare in the mirror
And let myself cry
Looking forward to the day ...

mistletoe
Standing under the mistletoe all alone,
no one ot kiss and no one ot hold.
so all i ask for this christmas is you,
its the only thing i nneed this year nothing new.
i dont need anything wraped fancy, not even a bow,
just you and maybe a little bit of snow.
you would be the best present i could have,
hopefully fixing my heart thats been in halfs.
this chirstmas i hope you know i love you,
its very true and i really do.
no one ot kiss and no one ot hold.

my sweetheart
So often when I am embracing you,
It seems that you exist in this world
only because of me and I exist because of you.
It's not easy to wander in this world
and not lose one's way,
but the greatest happiness of all
is in giving joy to one's beloved.
And if the king can have his throne,
and if the bird can have his Spring nest,
and God can have his heaven,
then I, my sweetheart, I can have you!
It seems that you exist in this world
only because of me and I exist because of you.
It's not easy to wander in this world

And if the king can have his throne,
and if the bird can have his Spring nest,
and God can have his heaven,
then I, my sweetheart, I can have you!

my dearest angel
My mother is my Angel
Of that I know for sure.
Through her seldom smiles
That last for miles
to the tears she never cries.
My mother is my Angel
And I am by her side
From "Wake up" in the morning
To "I love you" late at night
I've found my secret Haven
in Angel's words just like starlight
Angel always seems to listen
Even when I think she's not
I've learned to be forgiving
I've learned to follow dreams
I've learned so much from Angel
I've never fully seen
I've always quite...
Of that I know for sure.

its amazing
It's amazing how I feel when I'm around you,
How my heart pounds when you come into a room.
I look at you and think: My God! How lovely!
And everything I am bursts into bloom.
I feel as though you must, you must be mine,
Not as a possession but a goal,
Something almost unimaginable:
The free devotion of another soul.
As though I were about to enter heaven
Or just within the hour condemned to die,
My mind with one fierce thought keeps running over,
With you, and only you, the reason why.
How my heart pounds when you come into a room.

With you, and only you, the reason why.

i've waited
it was two years ago when i saw you standing there,
i remember you took my breath away as you flipped your hair.
you never knew how i truly felt,
but every time i saw you, you melted my heart.
i waited those two years to make you mine,
but i knew you wouldent and that was fine.
it would seem that i have awited to long,
because now i have moved away and im long gone
when i came to visit i got a call from you,
you wanted to see me again and the truth i wanted to see you to
when you had to leave,
i waited for you to say those three little...

Why?
every night i lie awake and cry,
and the only question i can ask myself is why
why do we live in a world with so much pain,
when in all we have nothing to gain.
in this world even the good must lie to survive,
so i lie awake and cy when the only question i can ask myself is...
why...

My Mask
he smiles, I cry.
he's brave, I’m shy.
he loves, I’m alone.
he's amazing, I’m unknown.
he's beautiful, I’m a mess.
he's happy, I’m depressed.
he’s a fake, I am real.
My mask is perfect, he hides me
he's brave, I’m shy.
he loves, I’m alone.

he's beautiful, I’m a mess.
he's happy, I’m depressed.
he’s a fake, I am real.

daddy daddy
so tell me daddy did you even notice the scars on my wrists?
no? well isnt that a twist.
you tell me its not that bad and to suck it up,
when the truth is i wan to end this life that i have.
when you say you love me... do you really mean it?
or are you just trying to play me?
the only thing i have o say,
is that it shouldnt have ended this way.
in this screwed up world we live in all i know is lonliness,
in my heart there is only emptiness.
no love for you,
no love for me.
this is the ending you all should have seen,
when i drag the coll...

Father
How long has it been since you wrapped me
in those strong and tough arms of yours?
How long are you gonna wait
to tell me that you are proud of me?
Tell me now, stop acting like nothing's wrong
I can see right through you,
I don't wanna disappoint you at all
I wanna make you cry so much because you're proud of me
You use to let me lie there in your arms
and mess around with your watch,
just listening to it tick back and fourth
Kneeling at the end of my bed,
I just cry waiting for you to tell me
everything's going to be ok
Just take...
