POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Paige Halliewell = A Country Song
I was born in a flurry of light
my mother and father held held me tight.
Only five hours after my first breath
they took me away in to the night
I was blessed by them
they kissed me and hugged me and coddled me tight.
I was loved by them.
My mother and father angels in the night
We landed on the church steps in the light of his orb.
A nun taking a walk saw us there.
She could not believe her eyes,
two angels come down from the sky.
I was blessed by them they kissed me and hugged me and held me tight.
I was loved by them....
my mother and father held held me tight.
Only five hours after my first breath
they took me away in to the night
I was blessed by them
they kissed me and hugged me and coddled me tight.
I was loved by them.

She could not believe her eyes,

Alone
Alone
Sitting here alone nothing but my thoughts to keep me company.
As I sit here my mind races at the speed of light.
Thinking of all the things I have lost, all the people I have
had to let go, and say goodbye to.
All of the good and bad times run through my mind at once.
Yet for some reason the one thing that sticks out to me
is exactly how alone I have felt during all of this.
How more often than not I would cry by myself,
with no one there to comfort me or dry my tears.
For so many years I had to dry my tears and comfort myself.
And that...

Whispers of the Dead
Listen can you hear that noise,
the whispers of the dead.
They sing sweet songs to me in the dead of night.
Each and every song is different,
if you listen to it close enough you can tell.
For every whisper there is a story,
of how they lived and how they died.
This one is the loudest of them all,
keep silent and perhaps you will hear it as well.
She was once a normal girl just like you and me,
but then something happened to her.
Something that no one could have guessed.
You see she was walking home from school one day
when one of the...

In The Dark
I am alone here in the black abyss that is my depression.
No one here beside me here, just the darkness all around me.
Pressing against me, a darkness so black that it consumes your very being.
Until you become part of the blackness, a lost soul in the void.
Sure you can scream out for help, but no one will hear your screams.
After awhile you will realizes that screaming wont help,
when that moment comes you will know that there is nothing you can do.
No matter what you try to do you will be stuck in this black void.
Until one day maybe a month from now maybe...

Silent Wittness
I sit here alone in my room,
a silent witness to the cruelty of the world.
No one else seems to see what I see
seeing the world for the dark place that it is.
All of the pain and anguish people go through
or the chains that seem to burden everyone.
I alone am a silent witness to this all.
As I sit here in my room and watch
watching the world through my window.
For here in my room I am safe from all of this.
Here in my room nothing can touch me,
and so I stay in my room.
Though I am safe here I am also alone.
No one to be with me and...

Do not leave
Do not leave me here alone,
with the dark thoughts that cloud my mind dragging me down.
Do not leave me here alone. You are my life vest the only thing that keeps me a float. In this sea of pain and darkness you are the light house that leads me safely to the shores. Do not leave me here alone. For if you do i will surely drown. The dark thoughts will consume me swallowing me up whole. Taking all that i am with it leaving a shell of a girl behind. No longer me as i once was but me as i soon could be. Do not leave me here alone.

Lost in Love
It came upon me so swiftly that I had
no way of keeping it from effecting me.
I wasn't looking for love but then you came
into my life turning my life upside down.
We started off as friends, neither looking for more than that, but then things changed.
Our hanging out turned to making out,
then our making out turned to making love.
Me and you together felt so very good.
What caught me off guard is what happened
after we finished making love,
a sense of peace and calm washed over me.
I was laying in your arms as it came over me.

Depression
I can feel it closing in around me
my depression it comes to crush me.
Gnawing pain in the pit of my soul,
crushing me from the inside out.
Stealing all that I am and leaving
a shell of a girl behind in its wake.
And even though I know it is coming
I can not seem to run away from it.
Where ever I go it follows me,
coming closer every passing day
bidding its time till it goes in for the kill
taking all that I used to be
the care free girl who used to laugh and live.
In its place it leaves a hollow empty girl
one who can not laugh can...

Originality
What is there for me to say,
that has not already been said before.
By other poets in a variety of ways.
For if you are to really think of it
everything worth saying has already been said.
Nothing you could come up with
would be an original thought.
For all of our thoughts and actions
are merely by products of the ones
who have come before us.
We are what has come before us
and nothing more than that.
We are raised to believe that
we are each are own person,
but that is an outright lie.
What we call our “individuality” ...

How I Feel
Wanting the pain to go away.
Wanting to be able to feel nothing.
Neither the pain nor the sadness,
to feel only the happiness.
The joy of being with my sister
(when she is not driving me up a tree)
Or watching some one
read my writing and get goose bumps
