POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
you dont ask
You break my heart some days
The tears in your eyes
Make me want to
Take the pain
You shoulder your burdens
You take a lot of the blame
behind a mask
You don't let anyone
See you break
You let me in only so far
But I'm willing to wait
I made some mistakes
Given you reason to hesitate
Someday I hope to see that erased
I've seen you grow and change
I see you looking inside
For the balance
You have longed to find
Your determination
In all you do
Your willingness to listen
Your unconditional...

I've seen you grow and change
I see you looking inside

You have longed to find
Your determination
In all you do
Your willingness to listen

only yours
I don't think you understand
What it is about you
That I just want to have
I don't think you understand
the hold you have
The sound of your voice,
I love to hear
From the low sleepy " good morning"
To the cranky " hold please"
I listen to your every word
Watching the lips I love to taste
Expound upon your day
The smile you save just for me
I would know anywhere
The feel of your lips
On mine
Is always on my mind
From the softest of hello's
To the spine tingling " I need you now"...

how do you do it?
How do you do it?
How do you not see
The effect you have on me?
You tell me I'm what you want,
What you need
Then you say things
Just to watch me bleed
You always seem
to find the time
To fuck with
My mind
I'm not good enough
You've made that clear
My emotions aren't a game
You don't get to tell
Me to stay
As you make plans to
Walk away
Tell me what it is
That I do
That's makes it so easy for you?
It's all about you
My emotions don't factor in
Just once I would have
Liked you to ask...

Waking up
Its been a minute
Since we have been this close
Its been a minute
Since you have wanted me here
Its been a minute since I have
Slept this soundly
Its been a minute
Since I have woken up
To the warmth of your embrace
Its been a while since I have
Traced a path along your sides
Across your chest and
Down your neck
Its been a while
Since I've felt your skin
Shiver and shift
Under my touch
Its been a while
Since I've heard the
Soft moans coming from
The back of your throat
Its been a minute
Since I...

a typical night
EMS .......
Earn money sleeping
Ambulance driver
Taxi driver
Free medical advice
I've been called it all
For some the numbers 911
Don't mean a thing
Your arm itches?
Try some anti itch cream
No I don't think your headache
Merits a call to 911
Chest pain for 3 weeks?
Have you tried some tums?
Please be sure to have
Your loved ones
On the top floor
With steep stairs
And tight turns
Of course you can't walk
But please let me get out the door
Before you run up the srairs

I should have seen
I keep telling myself
I'm fine
I don't need you
But the empty feeling
In me says otherwise
I spend my days
Trying to bleed
You from my veins
You're my addiction
I can't afford to keep
I've become numb again
You got me to trust
You got me to open up
And let you in
You know my scars
My fears
And my hopes
You threw them all
In my face
Without a thought
I have no one but
Myself to blame
For the state I'm in
I should have known

You won't listen
I know I need to let you go
I see you everywhere
I hear you all the time
Your voice is in my head
But this time
Its not the words
I want to hear
You made sure your words
Cut to the bone
To make me know
How deep your resentment runs
Your point was made
More than once, in fact
So thank you for that
My scars once healed
Are laid wide open again
The knife you handed me
And never looked back
I've become so numb
To the shredding of my skin
I'm no saint, not even close
I have my faults

The break
you say you want
to take a break
That everything between us
Is fake
That I'm not worth your time
I said fine
I took the blame
Your feelings are hurt
Yet you just ran all over mine
I offered you the out
A simple easy end
To this final act
And you turned it down
Content to let me
Twist in the wind
Waiting for you to
Let me back in
I hear you talk
I hear you yell
I just wish you
Would do the same
I'm not a game for
You to win
I'm not a prize...
You made that
Very clear tonight...

You Have
Make up your mind
The double standards
Are killing me
You say I can talk to
Whomever I please
But that's not true
In your mind I'm leaving,
I'm gone
You say you don't want
to be that person
But you are right now
I listen to you
Day after day
Extoll the virtues
Of all the others
The happiness in your voice
Directed at anyone but me
We are great as long as I
Don't step beyond
The lines in the sand
You have set
You tell me I can talk to her
But then you
Come unglued
You want us to be...

wrapped up in you
the past couple weeks
I could have done without
but the sight of you
undressing in the candlelight
made me forget
all that was said
you have me wrapped
around you
on you
and in you
all this time together
you still make nervous
the knot in my stomach
still tightens
when you give me that smile
when you beckon me
to follow
the look on your face
that said
you needed me
not just wanted me
I have missed
falling asleep with the
feel of you against me
the small sigh of content
as I slide...

The Price
I've missed you...
Your scent
Your touch
Your taste
The sound of your laughter
The moans you make
Deep in your throat
When you come
Hours seemed days
Days seemed like weeks
I tried to shake
The habit that is you
But I'm addicted
To what you sell
So I'm back again
Ready for my fix
You are my sin
So let me in
I don't need to win
My attention you hold
My heart you own .....
The price I have paid
To be the one
You love
Your scent
Your touch
Your taste
The sound of your laughter
The moans you make
Deep in your throat
When you come
Hours seemed days
Days seemed like weeks
I tried to shake
The habit that is you
But I'm addicted
To what you sell
So I'm back again
Ready for my fix
You are my sin
So let me in
I don't need to win
My attention you hold
My heart you own .....
The price I have paid
To be the one
You love

Stay or Go?
After everything was said
I had nothing left
You act as though
Nothing went wrong
You called me to say
You didn't want me
To stay away.
I said I wouldn't go back
But that's all it took
Your voice has me hooked
Your smile makes my day
Your touch is what I crave
I feel incomplete
When we don't speak,
When we don't sleep
With you wrapped up in my arms,
When I wake to the sunrise
Without you by my side
So here is my trust
In the love that is us
I'm hoping you will stay
Wake up with me
To a...
