POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm a poet...that's pretty much it. And I'm not a good one.
Goodbye, Beautiful
Intro: (Bell Ringing and lots of footsteps and talking) Me: It’s finally over.
(Locker opens and shuts, footsteps) Me: Just leave, it’s over now, you don’t have to talk to her.
(3 steps and sighs) Me: Damn it. (Footsteps) Me: Hey.
Her: Hey.
Me: You know after everything, I’m really going to miss you.
Her: (Sighs)
Me: Hey, you can’t say you won’t miss me.
Her: Whatever. (She starts to walk away, but I put my hand on her arm. I spin her around and kiss her head)
Me: Thank you for getting me through school. And for the last time, I’ll always love you, goodbye,...

Firefly
V1: Lonely little girl, cold
Put into this world, alone
Misplaced by fate, woes
Too find a light, for all.
Bridge: She’s different in every way
She always runs into the fray
Even when she means to stay away.
She is a light in the night,
She’s a firefly
V2: She always gives off light.
The feeling of hope and might.
Only a few call her a friend,
Others call her “The beginning of the end”
Cause she will light the change.
Start the charge.
And show us the way to make amends.
As we put hate and stupid quarrels aside....

Save Me (Salvation)
Salvation
(Save Me)
V1: Been on this road for far too long.
All the things I knew were all wrong.
Walking alone,
Being unknown.
Won’t be long before,
Fear shows me the door.
Pre-tied noose, ready,
Loaded gun, deadly.
Soon I’ll be a memory,
So people can laugh at me.
“Cowards way out”, they’ll say.
No sign of doubt, today.
I have no God to pray to.
Redemption I cannot do.
No one can save me,
No one can heal me.
V2: I tried to find salvation in life,
Only relief with a stainless knife.
But the pain doesn't...

Valiant Hearts (Inspired from the game with the same name)
(Soft guitar, drums, and bass throughout song)
V1: Our hearts are pure,
We didn't want this war.
What we wanted to do,
Is live our lives through and through.
We were forced from our farms,
And had to pick up arms.
This isn't me,
Not what I wanted to be.
Chorus: (Choir singing) Valiant Hearts (4X)
V2: So many people dead,
We can't go to bed.
Wives lost by bombs
Fathers forced to create them.
Separated from wives and sons,
Fiery smoke blocked out the sun.
Forced to fight to see our family,
That we will never live to...

I Remember Saying "I Do"
It wasn't my choice
There was a gun at my head
I wanted to live...
He gave me no choice
I had to do it to live
He would've killed me...
I thought I loved him
And I thought he loved me too.
Clearly I was wrong...
All those years with him...
And him calling me his wife.
To him, meant nothing...
He hesitated,
So I took the gun from him
And didn't hold back.
I didn't want this
But thankfully, it's over.
And there's no more fights...
I pulled the trigger,
And watched his...

Twist of Fate
Close your eyes
and listen to my words.
Find that something that lies,
deep in your beautiful world.
Close your eyes,
and feel my hand in yours.
Hold onto that something that lives,
deep in your beautiful world.
Feel my fingers in your hair,
and listen to this soothing tone.
Hold onto that someone and care,
deep in your beautiful world.
Feel my lips on yours,
and forget your troubles.
Hold onto that someone without a care,
deep in your beautiful world.
Listen to...
and listen to my words.
Find that something that lies,
deep in your beautiful world.
Close your eyes,
and feel my hand in yours.
Hold onto that something that lives,
deep in your beautiful world.
Feel my fingers in your hair,
and listen to this soothing tone.
Hold onto that someone and care,
deep in your beautiful world.
Feel my lips on yours,
and forget your troubles.
Hold onto that someone without a care,
deep in your beautiful world.

For My Love
Staying away seems so simple,
Easier said than done.
And yet every time I say that,
It somehow takes away all the fun.
We are apart now,
And yet we still talk.
You are with someone,
And at night, we walk.
You say that you feel happy,
Even though your eyes say otherwise.
You conceal your face with your hands.
Trying to hide all the lies.
I knew you were unhappy,
I even told you that you were,
But you said you were fine.
Now here I am a saboteur.
The last person you loved,
Now that one you will hate,
As...
