POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Life is too short to complain fix your problems and get over yourself. My writes are usually straight to the point.
Long Distance Relationship
It's been a while since we've last exchanged words,
I thought we had lost touch,
Emotions pour out my soul,
If I were a dramatic man I'd pour them into a song,
But the sun is still rising and I have yet to find a place to call home.
Righteous it may be,
The distance created was because of me,
Casting a shadow on the old and taking shape of the new,
I constantly struggle finding something to replace you,
The world was our playground and we were just kids,
Taking after our parents is what we did,
We soon realized it wasn't what we wanted.

Smells Like Home
Looks like everyone here is stuck in the past,
The word seems like a lovely place when everyone you’ve ever known has fooled you,
Fooled you into thinking that there’s nothing to fear.
The life of a stranger; the life of my lover
The light of my life is dimming.
The night is slowly swallowing me whole.
I have never been so comfortable drowning in fear,
The ocean, the ocean oh how the I wish the waves would swallow me whole,
I just want to be alone; no one understands that me it is always me against the world!
We...

Let's See If I Still Got It
As I dig my fingers into my skin,
I find closure deep within,
Time seems to have formed my memories,
Time helps me forget about the pain with ease,
Today I took a walk to recollect images from my brain,
Pictures of you; they're all the same,
I find myself wide awake at night,
Hoping and wishing I could hold you tight,
But I do not cry,
I do not shout,
Because soon the sun will be about,
Just another day closing to reuniting with my love,
Divine Intervention, a sign from above?
Perhaps if I were a religious man I'd cry in rejoice,
But I'm...

Through The Eyes Of My Mother
The first day he started crying,
Running away from all his problems,
With no where to go,
He came to me empty,
I had told him that I prayed for him every night,
He told me I was wasting my time,
Screaming at the top of his lungs,
I thought this could have possibly saved him,
He slapped the rosary out of my brittle fingers,
I fell to the floor,
It was too difficult for me to realize that my son,
The one who I raised with nothing but heart and joy,
Was becoming a cold and dark monster,
He spent about 14 months in the most darkest...

Take Me Back (I Am POE-thetic)
I haven't recovered from the shame you left me in,
Here I am screaming your name,
I'm on my knees and I have no hope,
I'm lost without you so please; take me back,
I thought I could move on and I was wrong,
What hurts the most this time you're not helping me up,
I can't get my self together,
I've packed all my things in an attempt to leave,
But you're the rope tied to the anchor I call "memories",
I scream for closure; oh God don't let me be... alone.
Everyone can tell there's something different but no one bothers to help,
I can't...

What We've Feared The Most
I can’t stop singing the same song over and over again,
I can’t stop reading the stupid notes you wrote to me,
I can’t stop thinking about who we thought we were meant to be,
With silent screams I’ll show you how much you mean to me,
And this is what we’ve feared the most,
This distance we have created between us,
Not physically but emotionally,
I feel like we’re not the same anymore,
If that’s “love” for you then I don’t want to “love” you anymore,
If this is how I’m supposed to show you how much I care for you,...

The Start Of A Beautiful Day
I woke up at about 6 a.m.
I heard noises coming from the outside of the room,
As I walk out in my little dinosaur oneis,
I noticed that there were several bags placed near the front door,
My mother leaning up against the wall,
With bloodshot wet eyes,
I was too young too fully understand what was going on,
So I asked if we were going on vaction,
The innocence of my voice made my mother lose it,
She fell to the floor,
My father hastely walking back and forth carrying more bags,
He did not pay attention to me,
He looked as if he was...

The Burden
Let's get things straight I've been thinking and there's something
I want to ask you
When was the last time you thought of me before you went to sleep?
When was the last time a thought a memory of you and I went through your mind?
Needless to ask what was that one thing that you promised me?
'Forever by your side, I'll never leave'
And like the razor you press up against your skin
Your skin it opens and you bleed
Pain is a constant reminder of what was once there
Your 'number one girl'
I could have sworn
This could have been...

Dancing With Your Shoes Off
I remember when you leaned in to kiss me on the school yard back in the fourth grade,
I remember those long walks around the park and watching the town parade,
I remember holding your hand for the first time and asking you to dance,
I remember when we broke out into silence and when your tears soaked my shirt,
I remember saying sorry a thousand times and promising it'll never happy again and each promise sealed with a kiss,
I remember watching the sunrise and the sunset with you,
I remember sneaking into your room on late school nights,
I remember driving...

Love And The Amazing Side Effects
Did you ever have that someone that literally made you feel comfortable with who you are? Did you ever take pictures together? Did you ever sneak into their house late at night because, they wanted to see you? Did you ever talk on the phone them with for hours? Did you ever hold their hand and walk around the mall? Did you ever go out to see a movie? Did you ever take them to the beach? Did you ever kiss them and want more? Did you ever cuddle while it was raining outside? Did you ever tell them how much you loved to see them smile? Did you ever call them crying and they promised it’s will be...

Even Photoshop Couldn't Cover These Scars
I've reached the end of the bottle once again,
With a handful of pictures,
Sitting outside of the house I grew up in,
I miss you so much it hurts to even think,
Sadly I gave you too much and you didn't even thank me,
Not once,
I am on knees,
Hoping one day we'd meet again,
So I can get this burden off of my chest for the first time in 8 years,
I feel like you still aren't listening to my cries,
But it's not hard to believe that you aren't,
There is no faith
, I can't do anything for you now,
You're in a perfect place,
I have...

Something About The Winter Tells Me That Summer Isn't Going to Be Any Warmer
I said we'd get through,
I said we'd stay strong,
We never really believed it and I don't see why we would,
You'd always tell us things would get better but you never really changed,
You promised to stop fighting,
But my mom is always crying,
You promised you'd make me a man,
You said a lot of things,
I don't even know if I can still call you dad,
You may call from time to time,
You tell the same lies,
It'll never get better,
I'll never be alright,
Most of the time I wish I had you to teach me,
Teach me what I needed to...
