POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
The best of us find happiness in misery
Waiting Games
No one else,
Compares to you,
I honestly thought,
We were stuck like glue.
Then you decided,
You needed a break,
With you my heart,
I allowed you to take.
I broke down and cryed,
Searched my skin,
For some sort of wound,
Where the pain did begin.
I didn't know what to do,
I ran away,
I couldn't stop thinking,
Of things I didn't say.
I said I would wait,
Wait for you to decide,
Maybe it would be enough,
For the pain to subside.
How long will it take,
What if I'm forgoten,
Left out...

Sorry...
Look my dear,
I'm sorry for being me,
I wish that I could change,
The best for you be.
Sorry for all the baggage,
That I guess I come with,
You don't know how much it means,
When we kiss.
I guess I'm sorry,
For things I did before,
I wish I could take it back,
I must seem like a whore.
I didn't know you then,
Honey I wish I had,
Maybe you could have helpped,
Kept me from going bad.
I'm sorry for poems I wrote,
To those who came before,
They're only old thoughts,
Nothing more.

[untitled]
So here I am,
Once again,
Where I get stuck,
Now and then.
In this place,
I feel bliss,
Though it doesn't seem to be mine,
Like I don't deserve this.
I run through the halls,
looking for my way out,
I feel like the shadow,
That no one cares about.
The distant memory,
Cast out of mind,
The one that,
"friends" left behind.
The earge to go back increases,
I know that it isn't the way,
I guess it's a good thing,
She got rid of my blade.
My head is always spinning,
With words I'm...

Honestly...
They told me,
The first crack,
Hurts the most,
The pain wouldn't be back.
If they were right,
What is this,
Why do I feel that way,
When we kiss?
Why does it hurt,
To hear your name,
Why when I look at others,
Do I feel shame?
Why don't I belive,
When you apologize,
Could it be,
That I don't see it in your eyes?
How long,
Will you keep this up,
Before you choose,
Or before I give up?
Just once,
I want to know,
That it is me that you want,
It's not just for show.

I don't know
I don't know what to do,
It has all gone amiss,
I'm not sure,
I can continue with this.
Mixed emotions that I feel,
They consume me,
While they add up,
To nothing more than apathy.
Is it for a cause,
Only in vain,
Is there an honest reason,
For my pain?
My chest tightens,
When I think of either option,
I need to choose,
Part of me has made a conclusion.
The rest still holds on,
Perhaps it's blind,
Or maybe my heart,
Knows more than my mind.
I start to say it, ...

One More Time (Please)
One more time,
Tell me you love me,
Say it's okay,
Or atleast it will be.
Kiss me darling,
Even if it might be our last,
Just once more,
Before the ballets are cast.
Stand in the rain,
Like when we began,
Declare our love,
Like new lovers can.
Just once more,
Let me hold you,
Close and tight,
Like I used to.
Talk about nothing,
With every message we send,
Stay up on the phone,
For hours on end.
I can't make you stay,
But I hope you will,
Because honey,
I love you still.

Part of me
If faith is the thing,
That should always hold true,
Why is it so hard,
To keep my faith in you?
I used to know you...
You used to know,
How to walk,
And which way you should go.
You used to know who you were,
Now I'm not so sure,
sometimes I wonder,
If your heart is still impure.
We used to be the same person,
Now we've grown apart,
Still sharing one body,
While I have all the heart.
Maybe you'll leave one day,
Perhaps you already did,
Maybe I've finally lost,
The part of me I've hated since I was...

Man in the mirror
Who's this,
Lookin at me,
The image is blury,
I can't quite see.
He says he's happy,
He claims to be kind,
Knows where he's going,
Has a stable mind.
Nothin to run from,
No fear of the past,
He lives in the moment,
He knows it won't last.
His wrists are clean,
No scars,
His heart is open,
No bars.
Who are you,
I sceam,
There's no way,
You can't be the man you seem.
He says the answer is in the question,
I'm a man you once knew,
Take a closer look,
I'm you.
I'm the...

You're my favorite memory,
Why my thoughts cause such a fright,
My recurring deam,
The reason I lye awake at night.
The one I love,
The one I need,
To whom my heart belongs,
The reason why It beats.
I miss you,
It hurts so much,
You're voice rings in my head,
I long to feel your touch.
You're not here,
And I'm so sorry,
I don't know what to do,
I hope you can forgive me.
I said I'd wait,
Baby I'm trying,
I keep on smiling,
Inside I'm truely dying.
I want you to come back,
I honestly...

If I don't see you again
If I don't see you again,
I need you to know,
That I love you my dear,
Its not just for show.
I love your flaws,
I love you're eyes,
Evertime you're gone,
A part of me dies.
I want you to come back,
Though I'm not sure you will,
I'm afraid you'll leave a hole,
Nothing will ever fill.
If you look look for me,
But I am gone,
I didn't run away,
I died before the dawn.
I hope you'll remember me,
I know I'll remember you,
Just know that the love i have for you,
It was alway true.

A few of my fears
I don't want to become my father,
This is one of my many fears,
Its one of my deepest,
One that causes so many tears.
I'm afraid of something else,
I haven't told many,
People that will miss me when I'm gone,
I fear I haven't got any.
I'm afraid of the fact that I need her,
I fear she won't come back,
That she'll find someone new,
On my heart leave another crack.
I'm afraid of never making something of my life,
That I'll never amount to much,
That I'll eventualy break,
Everything I touch.
I'm afraid of never...

If you ever need proof
If you need proof that I love you,
Or if you ever do,
Remember I don't like staying in one place,
Then Know I'm waiting for you.
I guess there isn't a way,
To prove what you mean to me,
There's no way you ever could,
See what I see.
If you do decide to move on,
To love another,
It will hurt but I'll understand,
I'll still keep the memories we have with eachother.
If you ever worry,
That I may be moving on,
Know that my hearts still yours,
Even if you're gone.
If you ever need proof,
That my words are true,...
