POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Rough draft.
Shes always just
The part time
Good time
Down time girl
The one who
Strokes your ego
Makes you feel good enough
For once
Offers everything
You say you ever wanted
But it doesn't come in
The packaging
You imagined
So she'll never
Be more than a late
Night call
When the ones you want
Don't want you
When you need to heal
From your own rejection
And self loathing
Her touch is only needed
To mend your broken pieces
While hers are left
Forgotten on the floor
More falling...

Being Numb Is Dangerous
I saw a post
On facebook today.
As stupid as it sounded
"Being a savage doesn't
Fix that hole in your heart"
Resonated with me
In a way Im less
Than comfortable with.
This heart of mine
Is nothing but
A long forgotten wreckage.
Who we used to be is such
A distant memory
All I can remember is pain
And I question
Why I couldn't
Make you love me.
And yet I still
won't allow myself
To acknowledge
Just how detrimental
Those years were
I finally understand

to be a mother
Life had lost it's
Hold on me
Or maybe I just let go
Raindrops no longer
Lulled me to sleep
With my pen and pad in hand
I didn't care for musing anymore
in a matter of weeks
Unknown to me
I would hear the melody
That changed my life
The rhythm almost too steady
Yet erratic all at once
My life began that day
In the tear washed sound
Of those little thumps
To me it was a sing song
Promise of forever
And I count the days
Until I can count your toes
Thank the skies for each
Day that...

Love Games
All our cards
Are on the table,
Now that you're
Done bluffing
And I, like always
Have folded.
For the first time
Our souls are
Bare and naked.
There's no more
Room for acting
Impatient and complacent,
When It comes
To this love there
Will never be a replacement.
No more time for
Adressing the lesser
Or stressing the pressure.
In the end we'll
Make it together
Two souls intertwined
Always and forever.

The End.
They say the good
thing about rock bottom
is that from there,
you can only go up.
Yet as I gaze back
at where I used to be,
I can only think
"The road that got
me here was long enough."
Im tired of picking
up the pieces they
all carelessly left behind
Im sick of getting back up
and pretending
everything is fine
I think of our first kiss
and hate every
second of that lie.
I wish I would have known
the moon was just
the perfect light
to hide the seams
of your disguise
I feel head over heels ...

Never ending..
Countless thoughts are
running through my head
but I can never get
it all out right..
Like the 100 times
I've wished I was dead
and the 200 times
I've convinced myself
that even the devil
couldn't handle my debt.
I've handed out too
much forgiveness
Trusted too many people
gave too many the title
of lover or friend..
I've lost my sanity
in each of their eyes
countless nightmares
their voices screaming
every lie I've ever heard
and it always ends with her
I handed her my damaged
heart...

Remember
When I'm gone
I hope people
will remember
me fondly.
Remember that
I always tried
to bring smiles
to their faces
and laughter
to their hearts.
I hope they
will remember
the girl who
would do
anything and
Everything
to soothe their souls.
Remember the girl
who always offered
a shoulder to cry on
and a friend to lean on
when their burdens
became too heavy
to carry on their own.

I fight for you because
when I'm with you
I want to be a better person
I want to strive for more
and be all I can be
I fight for you because
when you look into my eyes
the little negative voice
in the back of my mind goes silent
I fight for you because
no matter how ridiculous I behave
your smile only widens
I fight for you because life is too short
to lose such a beautiful love
to such petty misunderstandings
I fight for you because
even when you push me away
you still have a way...

Honestly?
I really don't know
what to say,
there's not enough
words in my vocabulary
to describe the feeling
of losing a future
I once thought was paved.
Your skin became so foreign
I don't know why I
ignored that warning.
all the red flags were up,
you caught me tipsy
and left me drunk in love..
I used to dream of the freckle
on top of your smile
and the way your eyes
lit up in the moonlight
Now Im left with nightmares
of the poison that escaped your lips
My ears just couldn't take the
blood curdling...

escaping reality
Take a hit
and let it go
close my eyes
and let "me" go
a short escape
from asking myself
the same questions
with same answer
always being
"youre better
off alone"...

Her.
I fell asleep
thinkin' bout her
her again,
leadin' to dreams
bout her again.
Smiling at
the thought
of our
first time
together,
on the
third floor
bathroom
of the history
building
in the very last
stall, and
the way we
wobbled off
down the hall.
Giggling hand
in hand, relishing
in the afterglow
not knowing of
what our
future together
held, not worrying
about heart aches
and "I hate you's."
Those days were
so much easier
when I didn't
know...

I want
to feel sexy,
but I cant
help but
be reminded
that
you're not
turned on
by the skin
I was given.
You're not
pleased with
a stomach that
pokes out
a little
too far
and sags
a little
too low
covered in
the scars
of the story
That I've never
told you.
