POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
mix
my mind mixes memories
with fears
calling them dreams
like a hybrid of things remember
and trepidation
but in my sleep it seems
so real
that I cant tell
what's true and what's an imitation.
synthetic
pathetic
mixed up by imagination
still never quite sure what's real
and what's a fabrication.

air
alive
but only just there
not quite drowning
but gasping for air.

My heart's in your hand
As your lips
so perfect and soft
meet mine
I fall deeper into your grasp.
Eyes flutter closed
I marvel at your warmth
and the way your arms wrap around me
as I fall deeper into your world.
You're captivating
and I know
you're dangerous
but I just can't help it.
You've got my heart in your hand
and I just hope
that you don't squeeze too hard
because I guarantee
that if you do
I still won't be able to bring myself
to leave.

I suppose
I fell in love too easy.
I fell in love too fast.
I fell in love too hopeful
that what we had would last.
I suppose it's all my fault
for being so alone
that I fell in love with you
and your voice and its silky tone.
I suppose it's all my fault
for believing all the things
that were whispered to me from you
that made me feel like I have wings.
I suppose it's all my fault
for thinking that I could be
the very thing you wanted
when that thing was me.
I suppose I'm all to blame...

I am
I am the one you don't remember.
I am a ghost
a shadow
a memory
not quite there
not quite clear
not quite worth the time
to pay attention too.

It's the tightness in your chest
when the thoughts won't let you breathe
the lump in your throat
that you swallow through grit teeth.
It's the numbness that takes over
in the middle of the night
and the emptiness that disables
your will to fight.
It's all the pain
and midday fears
and the thousands and thousands
of unshed tears.
It's the numbness in your brain
but you still manage to sting
and the thoughts that make you think
that you can't change a thing.

so much
These tears that I'm spilling
hurt so much
and this lump in my throat
is suffocating.
I miss you so much
but it hurts so much more
that I can't keep my words
from falling apart so badly
that I can't even say
"I love you."
