POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
My Angel
I was once kissed by an angel
I have once touched the sky
I was once shown what it's like to fly
How lucky I am
To have the memories
To be able to say I found something beautiful
Something pure
Something most people will never know
I found a love that saved me
That changed me
I found you
It's a tragedy that most of the world has to live without ever knowing you exist
I'm so lucky I'm one of the few
who were given the gift of experiencing you
Even though it was only for a little while
You...

Time will help
Love it's been so long
But you're still the meaning behind every song
The inspiration for all of my poems
When I look at my reflection I still hear your voice
I have to love the way I look I don't have a choice
You told me I was beautiful and that's all that comes to mind
I'm still stuck on your words you left far behind
When I look at the sky I'm still reminded of you
You made me feel like I could touch it when you said "I believe in you"
The sound of my laugh reminds me of you
I told you I hate it
you...

Hope
Hope is a beautiful thing
It helps us through the hardest times
It helps to ease the pain
It gives us life
It brings the light
It's what gives us the strength to survive
But than you gave me hope...
Hope is a terrible thing
It can be crushed with just a few words
There is no way to describe how badly hope being crushed hurts
It's like a knife twisting inside of you
the hope spills out with your blood
You try to pull the knife out but the damage is already done
...

Heart once shattered
I talked to you again
For the first time in months
I asked you how you've been
I enjoyed catching up
You told me you're glad I'm happy
You said that's all that matters
I so badly wanted to tell you how much I miss you
But I couldn't
I want to tell you I love you
But I shouldn't
You said that my happiness is all that matters
If you truly felt that way
why is my heart shattered?
I'm trying to understand why suddenly I matter
When you didn't even flinch as my heart shattered
How am I...

Save me
I'm slowly sinking
Sinking into the dark abyss
I'm screaming
I'm screaming my lungs out
But you don't hear it
Only you can save me now
Only you can help
I took a leap of faith
Hopping you would catch me as I fell
But you just walked away
And left me here to die
You acted like you'd catch me
But it all was just a lie
I'm slowly sinking
Sinking into the dark abyss
I'M FUCKING SCREAMING
You don't hear it
Or...
Sinking into the dark abyss

Talk to me
We can talk about the paint on the ceiling
Or the birds in the trees
We don't have to bring up feelings
Or the way it used to be
Please Love
Please
All I ask is that you talk to me
I miss the sound of your voice
I miss the way laugh
I miss the way you say your words
Just the sound of your voice gets rid of the pain
Life without the sound of your laugh is dark
Not hearing your voice it tearing me apart
We can talk about the weather
I don't have to bring up the fact that my love will last...
Or the birds in the trees
We don't have to bring up feelings

I don't have to bring up the fact that my love will last...

Butterfly
You come and you go
Like waves on the sand
It's like that magical moment
when a butterfly lands
You'll kill it if you try to hold it in your hands
Like a flame without oxygen
Trapped you can't breathe
So I'm never mad when you have to leave
If you like a flower you pluck it
If you love a flower you let it grow
I can't even begin to describe how deeply my love for you flows
So be free my love
Spread your wings
You need your freedom like all beautiful things
I'll be here patiently...

Until my heart stops beating
All I want is you.
Oh the things I would do
just to have you for a moment
I've tried to fill the void
All it does is numb the pain momentarily
But it always comes back
Everything always comes back to you
I've tried to move on
I've tried to find someone new
But they always end up just reminding me of you
I'm to the point of no return
It's only for you that my heart yearns
It's only for you that my heart beats
Every night I dream of you as I sleep
Every morning I wake up crying because it was just a dream and I...

A poem from the heart
I was reading the work of other poets
Imagining you wrote it
Letting myself believe it is true
I wish I could see inside your mind, inside your heart
Why can't you have a thing for this form of art?
Maybe you do
If you do please let me read them
Let me hear your biggest dreams
and your darkest thoughts
your secret fears and your hidden emotions
I wish I could read your mind, heart, and soul like a poem
What a beautiful poem it would be
Especially if I finally find the feelings for me you try so hard to hide
I've broken down...

Even though it hurts
I wish I have a way to take away the pain
To go back in time to the day we met and just stay in bed
I wish I had a way
I wish I had a way to never fall for you
but then I remember everything you taught me
everything you said
the way you taught me to chase my dreams and never giving up on anything
I remember all you told me and now
I know I need to fall for you
I know I need to go through all this pain I'm in
It's worth every minute of every single heartbreak
because now that I love you I love myself
You made me feel beautiful ...

I know I need to fall for you
I know I need to go through all this pain I'm in
It's worth every minute of every single heartbreak
because now that I love you I love myself
You made me feel beautiful ...

Reasons why I love you
You asked me why I loved you and I said I don't know,
I know exactly why I love you I just knew that if I told you
you would know how deep my love for you truly flows.
I was scared it would hurt more when I had to let you go.
I love your eyes as blue as can be
How they're filled with emotion as deep as the sea
I love your curls, how perfectly they always land
I love the way they felt wrapped around my hand
I love your laugh, the way it lights up my world
I love how you make...
