POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
The best of us find happiness in misery
I'm not the kind of guy
Im not the kind of guy,
To play love like a game,
I would never cheat,
I do know shame.
Im not the sort,
To run from commitment,
Im the kind,
That gets lost in every moment.
Im not the guy,
That will leave for another,
Or the one,
To lie and hide under cover.
I do know love,
And I've felt its sting,
But I also know,
The happiness it can bring.
The kind of feeling,
I only get with you,
Baby I hope,
You feel it too.
Im not the guy,
Who looks for rules for bending,
Honey I pray,...
To play love like a game,
I would never cheat,
I do know shame.
Im not the sort,
To run from commitment,
Im the kind,
That gets lost in every moment.
Im not the guy,
That will leave for another,
Or the one,
To lie and hide under cover.
I do know love,
And I've felt its sting,
But I also know,
The happiness it can bring.
The kind of feeling,
I only get with you,
Baby I hope,
You feel it too.
Im not the guy,
Who looks for rules for bending,

the life and times
Of a simple man,
These are the lifeand times,
Who from day to day,
Commits so many heart breaking crimes.
His friends all love him,
They think hes so kind,
Their opinions would change,
If they ever once saw his mind.
His sight is clouded,
Thoughts are dark,
No light to guide him,
Not even a spark.
His wrists are warn,
Broken and scarred,
They tell the stories,
Of when times got hard.
His head is cramped,
He needs to get out,
Cries for help,
Yet no one hears him shout.
He can't help but...

Take this heart
Take this heart,
Its all I have to give,
It will always belong to you,
For as long as I live.
Its been beaten,
Bruised and scarred,
I hid it away,
It became cold and hard.
Then you came along,
I didn't know it then,
You would fight for my heart,
And you would win.
You warmed my heart,
Pulled me out of the darkness,
Walked with me,
And showed me happiness.
I'll give you my heart,
Its the least I can do,
Just never forget,
I do love you.

if the world is dark
If the world is dark,
Like you say it is,
How could I find,
Any beauty in this?
If there is only evil,
No good in sight,
How do you explain love,
And how it feels so right?
From what I have seen,
There is one thing I know,
For something to shine,
You must allow it to glow.
If ever in life,
You are afraid,
Take a chance,
Thats how memories are made.
True there may be,
Some evil in this world,
But all of that fades,
When in your arms someone special is curled.

to think it was just a dream
The summer was hot,
But not as hot as our love,
We fit eachother,
Like a hand fits a glove.
We walked for hours,
We were never lost,
A little time,
Is all an adventure costs.
We were stary eyed,
Because of something called love,
It was always on our minds,
All we were dreaming of.
We payed no mind,
To the signs we missed,
Our fears faded,
Every time we kissed.
Her hair was brown,
And flowed in the wind,
Putting her heart,
In every text she would send.
Up on the phone,
Late every night,...

your bulletproof vest
You say i fixed your heart,
But still I cannot run,
Yes the battle has been won,
My job is far from done.
Now i must protect it,
I'll do my best,
I'll act as a barrier,
Like a bulletproof vest.
If there comes a day,
When a stray bullet gets through,
I'll be there to numb the pain,
Before it can ever hurt you.
I'll always be here,
Minding every little crack,
I doubt I'll ever go,
But I promise to come back,
You're my best friend,
And you get me through a lot,
You're always there when im sad,
Even...

has the hatter fallen?
In wonderland its only impossible,
If you believe it is,
That may be true,
But I still can't believe this.
I can't believe,
All this time i couldn't see,
The hatter falling for his Alice,
How can this be?
He doesn't know when things changed,
When he started feeling this way,
Maybe he always has,
He was just too afraid to say.
He's glad he did,
Now she knows,
In his smile,
There's true happiness that shows.
His heart races,
When Alice is around,
when shes in his arms,
Sorrow can't be found.

the jury
The words that I write,
They come from the heart,
I speak of love,
And the tings that tear it apart.
People judge me,
They assume I'm gay,
Because I take the words,
And write them down this way.
This isn't what I do,
This isn't how I write,
But the jury got me so mad,
I can't think right.
I wish they would turn away,
And just leave me alone,
Let me walk my path,
And get to where I'm goin on my own.
As long as theres hate,
I guess i have no home,
This lonely road,
I will always roam.

If I Give You My Heart
This thing in my chest,
I call it my heart,
Has been wounded,
And torn apart.
For it to be fixed,
I must give it away,
Promise you'll keep it,
Promise you'll stay.
Do your best not to hurt it,
Like it has been before,
The last time hurt so much,
I don't think it can take anymore.
This shattered thing,
That beats in my chest,
Needs to be loved,
I'll only give it to the best.
But first my love,
You must show ne you care,
If i give you my heart,
These things you must swear.

I've moved on too
I forgive you,
I've let it go,
Theres no way to change it,
Now I know.
This isn't me trying to gain you back,
And that's a fact,
I'm finaly smiling,
And this time its not an act.
This is me letting you go,
This is me moving on,
And coming to terms,
With the fact that you're gone.
This is my heart healing,
And finaly falling for another,
And this time I going to do it right,
And love her like no other.
Once you left,
I always said i would move on after you,
I always said,
I would be happy too.

a promise made... a promise broken
I promised you something,
One night when you were weak,
That I would always be there,
When my help you did seek.
I meant it,
To my promise I remained true,
I was always there,
No matter what I had to do.
One night however,
That promise was broken,
You cryed for my help,
But no words were spoken.
You tried to wake me,
But it was only in vain,
I was deep in sleep,
I couldn't numb your pain.
I am so sorry,
I hope you forgive me,
It wasn't on pupose,
I didn't mean it you see...

my illness
This evil thing,
This growing illness,
Won't let me smile,
Won't allow me to rest.
My thoughts are awful,
Groing darker with each passing day,
No one will help,
No matter what I say.
They say I'm wrong,
That I'm looking for an excuse,
I try to hide my sorrow,
But its no use.
I've lost all faith,
In a light that's blurred,
My screams fall on deaf ears,
They aren't heard.
Every waking moment,
Is an endless fight,
Disease has created a world,
That is darker than night.
So if there's anyone...
This growing illness,
Won't let me smile,
Won't allow me to rest.
