POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I like to write a lot of dark things, but somehow, most of them end up being about love.... awkwardly enough.
Goodbye
Blood thirsty
Pain hungry
I want to say goodbye
Goodbye...
I want to listen to your cry
As you scream in agony
The blades cut through your flesh
Once more, I begin to make you dance
Scream for me as I tear away your flesh
Yell as I cut bone
I watch your face, savoring your fear
The pain I give you is
Oh so dear
As I watch your eyes slowly fade
Your skin turn cold and blue
I say before you die,
"Goodbye."
Pain hungry
I want to say goodbye
Goodbye...
I want to listen to your cry
As you scream in agony
The blades cut through your flesh
Once more, I begin to make you dance
Scream for me as I tear away your flesh
Yell as I cut bone
I watch your face, savoring your fear
The pain I give you is
Oh so dear
As I watch your eyes slowly fade
Your skin turn cold and blue
I say before you die,
"Goodbye."

A Father and a Daughter
You stupid bitch,
can't you tell I'm trying to help?
I hate having to watch you do this...
You're killing me too.
All I see around you is
the darkness that consumes you,
and it's starting to suffocate me.
I'm sick of the blank look you always
give me,
and the glassy, dark eyes that stare at nothing.
I wish you would go back to
how you used to be...
But I know that person was only
a fake.
I miss the father that would
pick me up for no reason at all...
the one that would hug me tightly saying
how much he...

Night.
The night harbors all dark life,
Growing and nurturing its children.
All are evil in the eyes of humans, but
are nothing more than longing of a place to
belong.
I am one of those creatures, I am
a daughter of night;
a wolf stuck in the form of
a human.
It's lonely and frustrating to be
pulled from your true form,
forced to hide what you truly are.
But that's the price I pay
for belonging to the night.

I Am...
I am a dark minded girl who loves the night
I wonder why others are afraid of its darkness
I hear the wind shake the leaves of the trees
I see the moon glowing, surrounded by the stars
I want to watch as the moon changes phases
I am a dark minded girl who loves the night
I pretend to run in the dark, chill night
I feel energetic and joyful
I touch the branches of trees as I pass
I worry that I'll soon have to leave
I cry when the sun starts its slow march up
I am a dark minded girl who loves the night
I understand the...

Love Me...
Your eyes used to sparkle with
the glow of the stars,
and your hair used to shine
along with the moon.
I saw the way you
looked at me, and I know you see me
staring at you.
I wish you would
come out of your shell
and please say
you love me too.
I miss seeing you
smiling and laughing,
and I wish you to be happy,
But please, could you tell me,
If you love me?

ImPatience.
I feel as if I'm drowning;
suffocating on air I no longer have.
Why don't I die now?
Is it because I'm too weak
that I can't do a thing?
I know it's not a problem
if I die;
no one would even notice.
I'm invisible to everyone.
Maybe I'm not ready?
Could I be waiting for
something... or maybe
I'm just scared... I don't know.
It'll all end soon anyway,
I just don't want to wait.
But I guess I have no choice
but to stay for a while longer...
... but for how much longer
do I have to wait?
suffocating on air I no longer have.

Tortured Soul
As he tore away from my open arms,
he walked away with my heart and took
with him the warmth and light he'd shared.
The shadows and darkness swallowed
me back into the void, and I knew that
I would never escape. I tried to call out to
him, but nothing came out.
I wondered about dying, but thought what
he would do if he turned around and came
back, only to see me lying in a puddle of
blood. What would he say when my
last breath escaped?
Would he turn away and forget me?
Walk away and never look back?
Or would he hold me...

with him the warmth and light he'd shared.

Eternity
Your fangs peirce my soul
Yet I do not cry out
Fore you hold within your hands
My heart for all eternity.
I belong to you
As I can never escape
But my wish for now
Is to be with you.
Your mark stays with me
Because it will never fade
But I wish to be like you
And not only a memory.
I hope you will remember me
As I fade from this life
Please, never leave me
Fore I'll stay with you
Through Eternity...
Yet I do not cry out
Fore you hold within your hands
My heart for all eternity.

This is for You...
You think you own me, but you never have; I'm not a thing that you can claim; I won't be treated like a servant no more. I've broken free, no longer yours, I'll never be who you wanted me to be.
I'm not a slave, I'm your daughter... but I'm no longer yours. You will never own me, I won't allow you. Just because we're blood, that doesn't excuse what you've done, and I will never forgive you.
Just because you're older, don't mean nothing; just because you're my father, don't mean I'm nothing. Show me some respect, I'm older now and I know everything... all that you've done.

Come With Me.
I've always been alone;
Satisfied with the cold and dark void
that is my life.
But now I have a glimpse of
what warmth is, and I want it.
I am no longer happy;
but longing... wishing for a little more.
When did this happen?
This change in myself? I don't
like it.
Was it you, or something you said or did?
I can't tell... everything is rushing at me.
I want to go back, but bring you with me.
Can I do that?
Will you come?
We could be together in our own void,
no noises or pictures...
... just us; and...
