POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
R.I.P Love
You're just a stolen voice,
and a buried secret.
Don't cry now, baby, hush your tears.
Fly away safely, and let the clouds
ease your pain.
Release all your burdens, and be free
of who you were.
Don't be sad now, baby, this isn't
goodbye.
It's time to go home now, Love.
I promise i'll always remember the way
your heart beats.
Fly free, and promise you'll always
remember me.
and a buried secret.
Don't cry now, baby, hush your tears.
Fly away safely, and let the clouds
ease your pain.
Release all your burdens, and be free
of who you were.
Don't be sad now, baby, this isn't
goodbye.
It's time to go home now, Love.
I promise i'll always remember the way
your heart beats.
Fly free, and promise you'll always
remember me.

Time Stitched
I don't know where i'm going from here,
but I know time will heal every wound you placed upon me.
Stripping me free of your hold,
and sending me into the depths of heart ache.
Once again slow days will mend my broken heart,
and simple love songs will rid you from my thoughts.
Time has become my dearest friend in this endless adventure.

Mommy Dearest
Tell me what you see,
when you fly away into your thoughts.
Is the world dark and cold?
Or just a little bit brighter?
Tell me what you feel,
when you fall into the clouds of destruction.
Does it hurt just a little bit more?
Or does it numb everything you tore open?
Has your world crashed down to slightly more than nothing?
Or are you stronger than ever?
Conquering societies world with just one more snort.
One more high.
Just one more pill.
Tell me mommy dearest,
is it worth it?
Are those pills really worth it?
Do they amount to...
when you fly away into your thoughts.

Say Goodbye To The World You Destroyed
You gave me your word,
and I held onto it for dear life.
But why do I hold on when I'm already dead?
You took yourself and all of me
when you walked away.
Gone with words so gentle and tempting.
I'll watch you walk further and further,
with every step away from your past,
you're taking my future.
I'll stay as it all falls apart.
You take the memories,
and I'll take the pain.
and I held onto it for dear life.
But why do I hold on when I'm already dead?
You took yourself and all of me
when you walked away.
Gone with words so gentle and tempting.
I'll watch you walk further and further,
with every step away from your past,
you're taking my future.
I'll stay as it all falls apart.
You take the memories,
and I'll take the pain.

Once, Twice, Gone.
This is the story of a girl
who had a smile so bright,
and eyes so blue.
Quite a story she had to tell.
She loved and lost, trusted and betrayed.
Her heart broke once, twice, gone.
She gave up on all she thought was real,
because it gave up on her.
She hurt and burned,
tried so hard to understand.
How could a world with such a bright day,
be so cold and unforgiving?
Her heart gave up and she went with it.
Her story stops here and so did her world.

Fall Alone
Set me free, please..
I beg of you, take your love
and let me be.
I'm not meant for this.
I can't "love".
I don't "love".
This is an unknown concept.
Please just set me free,
I don't want your love.
I don't want you.
I hate this.
Why did you have to do this?!
I never wanted to hurt you!
This is your fault.
You shouldn't love someone like me.
You should have never done this...
Just set me free,
let me fall alone.

A <3
I'll let these dreams carry me away,
into your arms...so strong and sweet.
Listen to your words, so gentle and real.
Take me away, as I hold you tight.
Let us love, with a love only we may share.
Let these dreams carry us away,
we'll take our time and savor every moment.
Darling, this night is ours to take,
love me good, and love me slow.
Show me what it's like to feel again.
Soon the break of dawn will steel you away again.
So lets take this night, and soar in these dreams.
into your arms...so strong and sweet.
Listen to your words, so gentle and real.
Take me away, as I hold you tight.
Let us love, with a love only we may share.
Let these dreams carry us away,
we'll take our time and savor every moment.
Darling, this night is ours to take,
love me good, and love me slow.

Daddys' Little Girl
You whip out your words
and they strike my heart with a snap.
I let a smile crease across my face,
"just laugh it off...it doesn't hurt".
These are the same words, i've silently screamed,
for years.
Daddy please, tell me you love me?
But mean it this time?
Daddy please...don't you think i'm good enough yet?
I can't take this anymore!
Daddy please, it would hurt less if you just hit me..
Put that whip of hate away?
I can't..no,I won't take it anymore.
Daddy, don't you see?
My heart can't take this.

Nothing Official
It's nothing official.
This game we play.
Honey, it's time for some closure.
You get the last word,
but darling I get the last laugh.
Say bye bye, because i'm better off without you.
It never really meant anything anyways.
Just one more memory, i'll be happy to forget.
Shouldn't be to hard,
it wasn't anything official, now was it?

Labyrinth of love
I'm letting go now.
I will fall into the labyrinth of love,
And find my way to you.
With every step I know you're getting closer,
Every dead end I come to,
Just another reason to keep going.
You're miles away, so far it hurts.
I want so badly to stop, give up.
But you're all I need.
A thirst that only you can quench.
I long for you.
To hear your words, spill from your lips.
To feel your touch, so gentle and persuasive.
So I'm letting go now,
Falling into the labyrinth they call love.
I will start on this...

Hush Now Dear, It Only Hurts a Little While longer
Do you feel it? That knot in your stomach?
Do you feel it? Your mind carrying you away?
Do you know what that is my dear?
Something so desired, but oh so deadly..
Does it hurt yet, my love? That feeling in your gut?
Do you feel it? The pain sliding through your body?
It hurts so deeply, but it's so so sweet.
Can't you resist honey? Or have you not learned yet?
How to stop. How to take away the pain and feel only that sweetness.
Hush now my dear, let go.
Do you it feel it yet? That chill of your silencing heart?
Doesn't it feel nice, to hurt so bad?...

Awake This Fairy Tale to Reality
It's in a land far away,
in a world of dreams
where perfect is more than a concept
we all try to apply,
That I found you
so alone and broken.
Fading away to simply nothing
dying for help and
Begging to die.
It was in that land so far away
that I discovered a love,
that was more then love.
Where our hearts cried out
for each other in such
desperate need.
In that land so very far away
did we discover true pain
that silenced those
cries of need.
That land so sick and dead,
shriveled up to nothing
that our hearts...
