POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm a poet...that's pretty much it. And I'm not a good one.
Shards and Ashes
The only remnants of war,
Are the memories and debris.
V1: (intro of strings and piano) (Bridge to the song) (throughout song occasional gunshot and lightning)
The letters you sent to me
Have all been burned.
Burned by war
Burned by hate
Burned by… (Echo) (Rest of band comes in hard)
I write you this letter in hopes it will find you.
In hopes it will find its way back home.
Where I belong, with you.
And no matter where I look I can’t help but
See your face.
Chorus: This war only brings shards and ashes.
And as the lighting...
Are the memories and debris.

Princess in Black
V1: (Wind Blows) (guitars, drums, piano loud)
(Princess) I used to be a source of
Happiness and Light.
I used to be the preventer of
Hate and Fight.
I used to be the princess
Dressed in white.
But why did you go,
And leave me ALONE!
Chorus: I used to be a beacon of light
People used to look up to me,
And ever since you fell to disease
I fell into complete darkness!
V2: Everyone around me hates me for me
Everything around me fades away.
The fields of roses I made,
have all died and withered away.
Why does everything...

Tonight's Final Lullaby
V1:
Father to daughter- My dear little angel,
Don’t make another sound tonight,
Because daddy has to go away for a little while.
Don’t worry I’ll be fine,
And I’ll see you in time,
Hush now my baby,
This is tonight’s final lullaby. (Kiss on her head) (I love you)
Chorus:
(Soft piano and drums) (Lights go off) (Door shuts)
OOooo, OOooo, OOOOooo.
V2:
Father to son- My dear little soldier,
Please don’t hate me for what I’ve done,
Please don’t hate me for what I have to do now,
For this is the only way,
For this to be...

What do I do?
I don’t understand what to do,
My girlfriend wants to figure out if she’s bisexual,
And in order for her to do that,
She has to kiss a girl,
But if she does that the she would have to cheat on me,
Because I’m not going to break up with her,
Especially since we just got back together.
But I don’t know what to do,
Should I break up with her to see if she really is bisexual?
And hopefully get back together with her after she figures it out,
But that’ll take at least a couple of months,
Or do I not break up with her and let her wonder until we break up....

One More Day
V1:
In my arms, you lay
Holding on for just one more day.
Cause here and now, I’ll stay
Making sure that you see another day.
Chorus:
Cause I’ll never leave your side,
For the rest of my life.
And now for the rest of time,
I’ll be the soldier you wanted me to be.
V2:
Through all your life, you’ve been let down,
You were treated like something else.
And now that I’m here I’ll tell you right now.
I’ll swim through the tears,
I’ll fight the fire,
I’ll give up my life,
So you can see
Just one more day.

Is this Love?
It's been over six months since we last spoke.
Six long months of solitude.
Beng alone...
Without a care in the world.
Bu why does every time I look at you,
I can't help but to remember all the good times we had.
I know it might sound cheesey but thats all I can think of.
But do you still love me?
Do you remember all the good times we had?
Do you wish to even try to remember?
Probably not because you fell for someone else.
I don't know why I waste my time writing about you.
Maybe because I thought that you were the one.

Death
Death is unavoidable.
Death cannot be reversed.
He cannot be stopped,
Nor can he be fought.
Death is your most hated foe.
He is the tears in your eyes,
The rage inside,
And the feeling of loss.
He has no voice,
No soul,
Just one image,
Over and over again.
Death is just a picture,
Just a memory.
Death is your loved one in a casket,
An image that cannot be erased.
Death is waiting,
Patiently for his chance to strike,
To take you from the ones you love,
And bury or burn you.

Fallen Angel: Part 2
Why are you here?
Your to good to be true.
You are the perfect girl,
And everything I like,
You like.
It doesn't seem possible.
You came into my life by fate.
And ever since then,
My life has been perfect.
But why are you here?
Wait,I think you told me before,
That's right,I remember.
We were at my house,
Sitting by the fire drinking coffee,
And I'll never forget what you said.
"I'm a fallen angel,
Cast out of heaven,
Because I wanted to be with a human,
And when I got here,
I met you."

Fallen Angle: Part 1
I am not a man of faith.
I have no religion.
And because of that,
People cast me out,
Except you.
You believe in God.
You are a woman of peace.
And because of that,
People cast you out,
Except me.
You and I are outsiders.
Two completely different people,
In the same world,
Brought together by fate,
But why…
Do I love you.
I hate it how you preach about God,
And I know you hate it when I deny you.
But you’re always there for me,
And I’m always there for you.
You are something else.
No one is...
I have no religion.
And because of that,
People cast me out,
Except you.

Finally Over
I think it's finally over.
All of the rage and hate for him,
And all of my love for her,
It's just gone.
All of it.
He is my friend
And she...
...is just somebody else.
Just a forgotten love,
And I'm fine with that.
But I don't understand,
How I got over it so quickly.
Yesterday I wanted her,
More then anything,
Now...
I don't care anymore,
About her,
Or him.
If you had read my other poems,
You would know what I'm talking about.
So right now,
This is the last poem about her,
And him,
It's over.

Already Over
She fell for him!
How?
I mean I can act just like him.
Stupid, perverted, and curses like a motherfucker!
I mean FUCK!!!
He is the complete opposite of me!
And she loves him now!
It doesn't make sence.
When I look at them together,
I just get so PISSED OFF!
Its been a week since we broke up,
And she has already moved on!
It doesn't seem possible!
Clearly I'm jealous but...
...I guess some people are like that.
The bitch has moved on already,
And now...
I'm alone...but,
What do I do now?
Anybody who reads this......
