POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I found that to love is to have the ability to watch the one you love walk away, no matter how badly you want them to stay. You can't expect a human to save you from the gray.
Miscommunication
Am I slipping away from reality,
or just exploring a new galaxy?
Am I hallucinating?
Can you hear me?
Hello?
You aren't listening to me,
am I even here anymore?
Please don't grow angry;
you aren't listening.
Hello?
I am trying
my hardest to explain.
I sent my words with the rain,
but I am afraid you won't hear over the pour.
Hello?
Is my frequency too low,
is all you hear nothing but white noise?
Why can't you see my efforts?
I don't know how to make you understand.

Anxiety Mind
Don't you want to be free?
I can show you the way,
You just have to believe in me.
I can hear your plea,
I've watched your esprit fade away,
It has practically decayed.
I can make you feel whole again...
Don't be afraid.

To Be Untouched
How disappointing,
an unfulfilled lust.
How misleading,
a fire-filled touch.
When there is no way,
to change all that has come to day.
A love story unlike most,
send a prayer to the Holy Ghost.
Fairy tales with lost endings,
simple girls without blessing.
Where does the meaning lie,
in this thrown together piece?
Once a love full of life,
is left tattered throughout Facebook chats.
No longer is time spent together,
although it is not our fault.
But how badly does it hurt,
to be untouched.

Let My Mind Go
When my eyes were renewed,
and I saw the way of the world I inhaled sharply despite the hole you left in my chest.
Made my mind spin faster and faster as the tornado of memories flooded me.
Lying in my bed with out you by my side will never be the same.
Goosebumps ingress the surface of my skin whenever someone brushes against me,
Every time I think I've moved on I'm fixated upon the hole you left once again.
As hollow as an old tree trunk eaten away by termites, farther down than the ocean floor.
I never cared about those diamonds or that gold, the sound of...

Quick Write
I tried to reach you with my soul,
but we were on different stations.
So you left me out in the cold,
forever waiting for your resuscitation.
Nothing lasts forever,
and how I will miss the joy you brought.
But you will never disappear,
For in my heart you are caught.

The Fallout
I was only sixteen,
I could have sworn I loved him,
That there was no in-between.
He washed away the dim.
The first few months were all too perfect.
Out of no where we found ourselves at war.
The affect had wrecked,
Our all too perfect world, shattered and scattered across the floor.
One summer day I just knew he was not for me,
I did not know how to reveal,
That I no longer wanted to be his Queen Bee.
I knew this situation was not ideal, and that we would need time to heal.
I was seventeen when I broke free,
Of...

The Quiet Ones
We tell everyone to be strong,
While we sit in our rooms crying in silence before noon.
We do not dare to utter the words "I am broken" to anyone.
That would be a confession of not being strong.
Reciting "be strong", when I, have fallen prey to the disease.
The hypocrisy in it is almost surreal.
We are the most dangerous.
We do not breathe, mutter or dare to reveal,
The dirty little secret we keep under the veil.
The silent time bomb.
Stuck in an ocean of kids who are "depressed" to seek an attention.
We...

f**k love
Have you ever felt so strongly for someone that no matter how hard you try the words are just not adequate?
He is the fire in my soul and the heat in my veins.
From the very beginning it had been a trial,
But I have faith we are worth the while.
I do not always understand the way you are,
But I know I could not love you more.
I know I have not made this easy,
Being unable to see you has driven me bat shit crazy.
I stopped trying to write about the exact love I have for you.
My words are unable to bring it justice.
I hope you never...

Intolerable
What do you do when you drive everyone you have ever loved away?
When you are created to destroy you're own happiness?
My mind spins like 50 mile an hour winds.
Surely someone out there can make you happier.
I have destroyed everything I have ever loved.
I have destroyed myself along the way.
I try to swim but here I am still gasping for air.
I can barely see myself in the mirror anymore.
I can no longer feel myself here
How long have I been gone?
I'm sorry.

The Problem
They told me I had a problem
That I was a substance abuser.
I did everything in my power to convince them other wise.
So what if I liked to get a little high?
Crush, cut, separate into little lines.
Roll up the bill, inhale sharply, feel the powder rush to your brain.
Lose feeling of your pain for just a little while.
Feel nothing but the tingle of the drug flowing through your veins.
I used to swear I would never touch anything but weed.
But I found myself crushing pills, snorting coke, popping molly.
They say I have a problem.
I can...

Falling in Love
It is so easy to fall in love with the wrong person
But maybe we just mistook something for love.
Falling in love with the right person is like breaking from a prison you were not aware you were being held in.
Love is a dangerous poison.
Falling in love is like remembering how to dream after being shunned to a nightmare.
The chills that cross you as he whispers sweet nothings in your ear.
The way he looks into your eyes as he runs his fingers across your skin.
You want that love forever, or whatever it might be if not love.
