POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Poetry keeps me semi-sane.
Smells Like Lithium
Breathe out, dig in
I bleed easier every day
The wounds I open don't seem to heal
And I'm rotting away in this world I've created
I'm losing sight of myself
And when I catch a glimpse
Shattered memories are all I find
I try to be what's expected of me
And only wind up hurt
I've traded friendly hugs for death and drugs
I'll likely end up like Kurt
Dead and gone with everything wrong
Lying in the dirt
I bleed easier every day
The wounds I open don't seem to heal
And I'm rotting away in this world I've created
I'm losing sight of myself
And when I catch a glimpse
Shattered memories are all I find
I try to be what's expected of me
And only wind up hurt
I've traded friendly hugs for death and drugs
I'll likely end up like Kurt
Dead and gone with everything wrong
Lying in the dirt

Why Must All Good Things End?
That's what you get when you flirt with desire
A lost friend and a whore for hire
I can't take back the awful words I said
And I can't beat them out of my fucking head
There's a pit in my stomach and a weight on my chest
I'm struggling to breathe and I can't get any rest
The only happy memories I can ever find
Are the ones with you running through my mind
Fuck my memories
Fuck my mistakes
Fuck my feelings and
Fuck my regrets
I just want you to be happy
A lost friend and a whore for hire
I can't take back the awful words I said
And I can't beat them out of my fucking head
There's a pit in my stomach and a weight on my chest
I'm struggling to breathe and I can't get any rest
The only happy memories I can ever find
Are the ones with you running through my mind
Fuck my memories
Fuck my mistakes
Fuck my feelings and
Fuck my regrets
I just want you to be happy

Valentine's Day Vampire
O! Vile you!
Who preys upon my heart
If only you knew
I feed off of you too
You are my addiction
Who preys upon my heart
If only you knew
I feed off of you too
You are my addiction

Lovely Suprise My Dear
The cage inside your fucking heart
If only it caged me
Lock me away to become your possession
Isn't that what love is?
Just lift up your sleeve and show me your scars
The knife in my back wants to see proof
I wish I could show you mine
But
These letters I write are drawn from under my skin
Because I have more scars within
If only it caged me
Lock me away to become your possession
Isn't that what love is?
Just lift up your sleeve and show me your scars
The knife in my back wants to see proof
I wish I could show you mine
But
These letters I write are drawn from under my skin
Because I have more scars within

Na
Surrounded by the air I breathe
Yet I'm still suffocating
Headaches and body shakes
Is this the final hour?
Justified by those who die
I see no practical reason
This blood I taste and the time I waste
Are lost under blind eyes
Look right through me and you'll find yourself
I'm just a copy of a copy
I'm alive but I'm not living
I'm shredding time as well as skin
In this moment I'm italicized
Lead belly sinking into a glass statue
Blue-green tint on my open casket
A flag is burning on the...

Turtle top leather stitching
Brown bag bile wetting
Red cross solemn sitting
Wire mesh dread stretching
Plastic sheets bed wetter
Take advantage knows better
Hunger shifts under weather
Gothic trash trend setter
Hot baked high ride
Soft lips open wide
Formal dress cold inside
Cracked glass last ride
White victor black mass
Double helix incision past
Simple mind filter last
Tunnel vision feigning fast
Brown bag bile wetting
Red cross solemn sitting
Wire mesh dread stretching
Plastic sheets bed wetter
Take advantage knows better
Hunger shifts under weather
Gothic trash trend setter
Hot baked high ride
Soft lips open wide
Formal dress cold inside
Cracked glass last ride
White victor black mass
Double helix incision past
Simple mind filter last
Tunnel vision feigning fast

The Monster You Created
I'm succumbing to the sickness you manifested
Our love... my love, was a scab and you picked at it.
It left bloody kisses on my cheek
And a copper taste on my tongue
I'm nothing more than the smoke that swims from your lips
The simple fucking rhythm that beats in your chest
I held your heart in my frost bitten hands
And cried my fear into its shallow home
To look you in the eyes would mean death
But I can't remember the last time I saw your face
I do remember the soothing texture of your eyes
Meet my gaze and suck the life from me
...

Never Truly Alone in Solitude
I scream my mantra into the air
Peel the skin back layer by layer
Nothing underneath except negative spaces
They don't understand, confused faces
Don't ask me why I come here to die
It's the only way I can get myself high
I try to avoid them, but they keep calling
I'm getting so high, I'm afraid of falling
I've been skinned raw and I'm chafed
It's an itch I can't help but scratch
I bathe in all the blood I waste
I try to scrape off the shell I've hatched
I'm growing tired of this
I'm dying more every day
There's not much...

Written Then Forgotten? Written Than Forgotten *Rather*
I'd love to be the one that makes you smile
If you would just let me in I'd stay for a while
But I'm stuck on the outside, pressed against the pane
Running my fingers over my scars, my personal mark of Cain
I killed myself to remember what it's like to feel
To regain what in me you steal
With regret I pass unto the drapery on the walls
And with haste on scarred knees I crawl
Into the depths of depression's fortress
Impenetrable... but.... I digress
The darkest of black is in me bleak
If against you I could only...

Macbeth Confesses Oedipus
Don't love your obsession
Because the obsession, it's the idea of the thought
And not the love that you sought
Halves of the same whole
Are split in two
Magnetic attraction prevents acceptance
Craving the emotional sustenance
I lied to get inside
And soak up the tragedy
Because the obsession, it's the idea of the thought
And not the love that you sought
Halves of the same whole
Are split in two
Magnetic attraction prevents acceptance
Craving the emotional sustenance
I lied to get inside
And soak up the tragedy

Silk(My Life)Eleven
I laid down to rest
And woke up in hell
My mind was depressed
Body was a shell
I splintered like spider's eyes
Intricate and delicate
Blurred vision, the cold defies
Warmth in which infection lies
Cancerous sores and tumors suffice
To replace what was eaten by silk
A generous but damned sacrifice
Locusts defile in the name of Christ
I have seperated the white from the yolk
In multiples of eleven I scream hate
I will suffocate you in my mourning cloak
And woke up in hell
My mind was depressed
Body was a shell
I splintered like spider's eyes
Intricate and delicate
Blurred vision, the cold defies
Warmth in which infection lies
Cancerous sores and tumors suffice
To replace what was eaten by silk
A generous but damned sacrifice
Locusts defile in the name of Christ
I have seperated the white from the yolk
In multiples of eleven I scream hate
I will suffocate you in my mourning cloak
