POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
A Glimpse Behind The Make Up
The words flow with the tears,
that are damp like the rain.
I must be gorgeous,
if beauty is pain.
Your words, they hurt;
but not as much as mine.
A walking travesty,
yet you call me a dime.
Evil and twisted,
sick deep inside.
So very much to say,
but to who can I confide.
Fight back the tears,
they can’t see me cry.
Emotionless I seem,
with nowhere left to hide.
Feeling breathless again?
Why? There’s plenty of air.
Please don’t put me on this pedestal,
where none can compare.
I am heartless, I am evil. ...

Waiting
Pass the time,
sit and strain.
I wait for your return,
I ignore the pain.
Open wounds,
never to heal.
I'm trying to explain,
just how I feel.
I'm no good with words,
just what do I say?
I'm taking this all,
day by day.
But its hard you know?
Living this life.
One day you'll be happy,
no longer in strife.
I give it my all,
to this very day.
You ask me my feelings,
but what do I say?
I'll love you forever,
it will never end.
Now your heart is broken,
and its mine to mend.
But I'm just...
sit and strain.

Where the sun doesn't shine
Where the sun doesn't shine,
is where Ill be.
Sitting alone, crying,
but happy as can be.
Where the sun doesn't shine,
is where you'll find me.
wandering around aimlessly.
Where the sun doesn't shine,
is a home to me.
Abandoned and deserted,
just like me.
Where the sun doesn't shine,
no life can be.
Now what does this say,
about some one like me?
is where Ill be.
Sitting alone, crying,
but happy as can be.

Abandoned and deserted,
just like me.
Where the sun doesn't shine,
no life can be.
Now what does this say,
about some one like me?

A book with no cover
Lying in the darkness.
Crying into the night.
Everyone thinks they know her.
They all run away in fright.
But there's more to her then just the scars.
More then just the tears falling down her pale face.
They all laugh at how she dresses.
But its to hide the bruises and the scars.
She doesn't know how much more she can take.
Her drinking problems becoming a life and death situation.
She tries to drown her problems, but they just wont go away.
Another endless night and another painful day.
As she draws her last breath, the mirror is what she...

The angel I killed
i stare at the door as the darkness creeps in.....in through the cracks it comes from here it comes from there it swallows me whole against my will. The sickening thought sneaks into my mind. You scream for help but nobody comes but you cant find a way out. This is the end. I didn't mean to do it... I didn't mean to let the pillow slip over you it was an accident I promise don't cry, please don't cry, it will be alright its better not to suffer i finally realized this and i ended it all.
Sleep angel, close your eyes
tell everyone you know your last goodbye,
its time for you...
Sleep angel, close your eyes
tell everyone you know your last goodbye,

Ghost
Like a ghost walking through the halls I sneak by quietly.
Like an object inches from your face one day you shall see.
Sometimes I wonder what it be like if you noticed me.
Then I realize dreams are all we have and that's all they'll ever be.
We must face the facts old friend, I'm as transparent as a ghost....its who I'm meant to be.

A Beautiful Elegy
An icy chill runs down my spine,
as the kiss of death touches the room.
The life drains out of her face,
an unsettling feeling of doom.
I watch as reality collapses on itself,
there's no saving her now.
My back against the wall,
I fall to the ground.
I must pull myself together,
its time to face a world.
They'll never see the beauty,
I saw in that little girl.
They drove her to this,
hate takes over me.
This is what happens,
when you listen to society.
You will be missed dearly,
see you soon my beauty.
As you were taken...

Our memories
I feel your hate as it builds deep inside,
I see your anger at the one who you can confide.
I hear your heartbreak like a shattered piece of glass.
It hits the hard floor like a memory in our past.
I wipe away the tears that are wet to the touch.
All of this now has become to much.
As they run down my face the taste of salt creeps in.
At last I have faltered and I will think again.
My nostrils are insulted at the musky smell of dust as I reach for the photograph of the two of us.
But that is past and this time is now I refuse to let this all bring me down.

Now I See
You broke my heart in two
and took me like a bet,
for all you put me through
I have so many regrets.
To lose you wasn't worth it
although I wasn't sure,
you seemed to make me happy
but still so insecure.
We always said forever
we would take it to the end,
never give it up
but my heart refuses to mend.
It cut me so deep
I guess it hurt you to,
but when you did it, then you lied
I had to say,"we're through."
I gave you all I had
I tried to make it last,
but now all I have
are memory's and...

Still thinking of you
I ask myself why I am still thinking of you so much?
I think about all the moments we shared and the way our souls did touch.
You know that this was hard for me,
but you decided not to see.
I know I am still just stuck in the past, but I had a feeling that we could make this last.
I guess my heart was wrong,
why couldn't I live through and for our sake stay strong?
Thinking of you makes me feel this way, a burning question I ask everyday.
"Why....why didn't I stay?"
Then I remember... I had a reason why.
Just the thought brings tears to my...

Sometimes.....
Have you ever sat up at night,
And just let your barrier down?
Brick by brick.
I've sat in silence and cried..
Plenty of times.
I've let it defeat me,
Made me think I'm worthless,
I let the burden of my thoughts get to me.
Like safety pins and razors..
I regret it,
Now I've got the scars..
They remind me..
Of how the scarlet red trickled down my skin.
I regret the pleasure it gave me,
How I felt I needed it to happen.
I regret that I let my family and friends..
Down. Discover. Drown in pain.
All because..
I let...
