POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
HIGH
Don't Inhale
So rank, so good
Coughing harder
Tears drip down my face and chin
Tears of smoke
Tears of shame
I can't remember
But I know the feeling
How high can you get?
Beyond the stars into oblivion
"I know I'm in my own world
But it's ok…they know me here." (Many Authors)

The Sea
I've been searching…roaming…languidly residing by the sea. The sea calms me… pulls me in. Should I give up this endless searching only to be swallowed by my creator? It's hard when the waves are rushing over my head and the salt burns my eyes. I can't see but I could not see on land.
Turn me into a Siren…beautiful and captivating. Bringing infatuated sailors to the shore only to drown at my feet. Isn't that what I did on land? Call out to men to have them drown at my feet? Although, maybe, it seems that in the majority I was the one to drown.
Gulping in water….searching for air....

I think it means I love you
I didn't mean to scream,
kick or bite.
I think it means I love you.
So I walk away…
Give you the cold shoulder
I think it means I love you.
If it hurts, push harder.
And I can't remember trusting anyone,
I think it means I love you.
Too bad, so sad.
Who gives a shit? You?
I think it means I love you.
So I hurt myself
And tell you everything is alright.
I think it means I love you.
But you say you can protect me
And I brush you aside
I think it means I love you.
I want to know how this will end.
It always does....

Alone
How I hate being alone...furniture fills the space but my mind races around and around.
How I hate being bored...too many things to do and no motivation.
How I swear I heard them...they're playing games with me now.
Can't believe...how old I've become.
Can't believe...in all your stories and lies.
Can't believe...I'm hearing them again.
Voices...in my head.
Voices...screaming so loud.
Voices...telling me nothing is ever real.

Believe In Me
What happened? I was that little girl singing in malls, at parties, really anywhere. Now I can barely hear myself in the shower. Four years classically trained and I smoked that to shit. Literally.
Have you ever been so lost?.....Katy Perry
I hear songs in my head, in my heart. Different artists, different genres but all the same....Waiting to be sung.
Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are callin'....last song I sang in public, to my dying grandfather.
But I am damaged goods. He took what he wanted and left nothing behind. Sing to me. Of all the signs and flirtations that led...

Tonight
Tonight is going to be my night. I'll undress slowly in front of the windows. Taking my time as my hands caress my body. It only takes a second for my nipples to become erect and my body to moisten. I enjoy it so, the danger and the fear creeping up my spine. Who is to see me? My neighbor? A car passing by? I control the viewers but am careless....by accident of course.
Does this arouse you? Can you ever guess why? I no longer own my body. After that fateful night just about four years ago, when he took away my innocence and my trust in the common good.
My hands travel lower to that...

Dawn
Petrified and alone
Again it happens
Night turns cold
Mood so bright
He returns to me, and
I shiver in his presence
Kiss me
For the very life of me...
Can't tell if I have survived
Won't know 'til dawn
Say that you love me
Whisper it in my ear
Forgive me
For I want you so
Together we will perish to the heavens
And never find our souls
Again it happens
Night turns cold
Mood so bright
He returns to me, and
I shiver in his presence
Kiss me
For the very life of me...
Can't tell if I have survived
Won't know 'til dawn
Say that you love me
Whisper it in my ear
Forgive me
For I want you so
Together we will perish to the heavens
And never find our souls

Ship
How did it turn to this? Calling names and slamming doors. Once we had that happiness but there's always a calm before the storm. This ship is sinking and as captain you should stand by your ship.
But is it me? Am I that ship, taking on water and slowly giving in to the torrential sea? This is the truest test. Sink with me. I always did pull you down.
It was I who screamed and cried. I just couldn't take it anymore. Your silence, your sweet contemplations, and forever analyzing me. I just couldn't take it anymore.
Send out an SOS. And God help our souls.

Fly Back to Me
Being left behind
Is something I have gotten used to
Never had you been so kind,
As to catch me while I flew.
So carefully did you fold my wings
And cater to my needs.
I knew then this wasn't a fling,
Rather a romance full of gallant deeds.
It's flown by so fast
Yet it was bound to end
I thought I had found you at long last
Then the air flattened, and I am on my own to fend.
Alone and lost, do I now fly
Once a songbird, I cry into the night
To you a long, bitter goodbye
Fly back to me so we can soon reunite.

Love and Captivity
You're going with me;
Until I know where I'm going.
You know it'll all be figured out
Writer, liar, psychologist
Whatever I choose
You're going with me;
It's only fair
Since I followed you so conspicuously
And faithfully.
Like any other lover, friend, supporter
You're going with me;
I don't know if I'm strong enough,
But with you by my side,
My partner,
I can see through the fog of my future
You're going with me;
'Til death do us part
And I mean it
I'd sacrifice, scrimp and save
Anything for you
You're going with...

Sadistic
I confessed
To a hideous crime
Not to save face
But to save myself
I am guilty
Only punishable by death.
To those I have hurt
I am sorry,
For the most part.
I did what I had to do.
And enjoyed most of it
Do I scare you now?
That you now know the truth
That I am not what you thought I was
Take a step back
Maybe three or four
Take a look at what you've been missing
I did it on purpose
Who could ever love
Someone who cannot love themself
To a hideous crime
Not to save face
But to save myself
I am guilty
Only punishable by death.
To those I have hurt
I am sorry,
For the most part.
I did what I had to do.
And enjoyed most of it
Do I scare you now?
That you now know the truth
That I am not what you thought I was
Take a step back

Take a look at what you've been missing
I did it on purpose
Who could ever love
Someone who cannot love themself
