POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
My lovely
Fire
Its tongues
Lick my wounds
With burning
Spit
Whiskey
Oozing through
My veins…
Rain
Slips out
Of the clouds
In silent
Agony
My tears
Only longing
For what is lost
The shell
Suddenly
Cracked open
Spraying scarlet
My life source
Pouring
Seeping
No longer flowing
Through me
And he smiles.
Its tongues
Lick my wounds
With burning

Whiskey
Oozing through
My veins…
Rain
Slips out
Of the clouds
In silent
Agony
My tears
Only longing
For what is lost
The shell
Suddenly
Cracked open
Spraying scarlet
My life source
Pouring
Seeping
No longer flowing
Through me
And he smiles.

Impossible Craving
The burning
Scarlet flames
Like boulders
On the precipice
Destroy everything
The ache
Seeps out of my pores
Tingling in every fiber
Never receding
Always craving
The images
Carefully constructed
Are restless
Waiting to pounce
Upon my surrender

The ache
Seeps out of my pores
Tingling in every fiber

Silent thoughts
sadness
the memories
of sheer dreadfulness
fills me with such fear
I am frozen in time
never changing for better
a tear
maybe just one
might send me back
so i must prevent
ALL thoughts
i cannot go back!
i will NOT get sucked
in again!
oh my vices
my sins
how they grow by day
i cannot deny myself
out of fear
...soon i will pay
just a hint
a whisper in my mind
then the world on my shoulders
and i feel
ready to drown
I cannot bear...
must be positive...

Never Ends
Having spent quite a while
In hopeless despair
Too tired to endure
Too empty to care
Now out for certain
From them pits of shame
Running for our lives
With no one to blame
Fear over takes
With no strength to fight
Will power diminished
A never ending plight
Stuck in denial
Yet refusing to deny
Any of the “luxuries”
That condemn us to lie
Out but plagued
Are our blackened souls
Pleading to forget
All them hearts filled with holes
In hopeless despair
Too tired to endure
Too empty to care
Now out for certain
From them pits of shame
Running for our lives
With no one to blame
Fear over takes
With no strength to fight
Will power diminished
A never ending plight
Stuck in denial
Yet refusing to deny
Any of the “luxuries”
That condemn us to lie
Out but plagued
Are our blackened souls
Pleading to forget
All them hearts filled with holes

the Feeling
a fiery burn
from a jagged shard
of an ice cold heart
dragged across my skin
slow and steady
I thought it would be
never ending bliss
warm sweet honey
but now
drops are dripping
metallic and ice cold
as blood seeps out
my mind becomes
my tourniquet
reason is reliable
unlike my love
no more shall I sing
of pointless desire
when the emptiness
seems so full
from a jagged shard
of an ice cold heart
dragged across my skin
slow and steady
I thought it would be
never ending bliss
warm sweet honey
but now
drops are dripping
metallic and ice cold
as blood seeps out
my mind becomes
my tourniquet
reason is reliable
unlike my love
no more shall I sing
of pointless desire
when the emptiness
seems so full

save my sorry ass
save my sorry ass
from coming home to you
to seeing your look of disappointment
as you bid me adieu
save my sorry ass
from my own damn self
a bookshelf without books
an endless empty shelf
save my sorry ass
from all the pain you cause
by leaving me alone
to deal with all these stupid laws
save my sorry ass
from the bullshit in my head
that stalks me in my shadow
and curls up in my bed
save my sorry ass
from coming after you
for judging my sorry ass
when you don't have a clue
from coming home to you
to seeing your look of disappointment
as you bid me adieu
save my sorry ass
from my own damn self
a bookshelf without books
an endless empty shelf
save my sorry ass
from all the pain you cause
by leaving me alone
to deal with all these stupid laws
save my sorry ass
from the bullshit in my head
that stalks me in my shadow
and curls up in my bed
save my sorry ass
from coming after you
for judging my sorry ass
when you don't have a clue

Demons
The good demon's here
Just in time
To witness the mess
Of my latest crime
Shocked and upset
I'm filled with guilt
My heart a flower
Ready to wilt
What have I done?
What can I do?
How can I fix it,
Without hurting you?
Stunned and confused
At my sudden change of heart
You’re hurt, I know
He’s forced us miles apart
He works hard to fix
All that I’ve got
While I sit wondering
Why my heart's in a knot
A few days of torture
Confusion and pain
Our relationship off kilter
And hard...

break me
I crave to share myself
With all and every one
But every time they see
I swear to myself I’m done
I’m done trying
I’m done crying
I’m done wanting
I’m done hurting
Rejection is all I ever get
Every piece of me gets broken
My pain seems to be just a token
Of all my efforts
My pain is my world
Cause I’m not good enough
I’m not tough enough
to be forever alone
so break me over and over
I’ll keep telling myself you lie
until my stupidity wears out
and at last I finally die
With all and every one
But every time they see
I swear to myself I’m done
I’m done trying
I’m done crying
I’m done wanting
I’m done hurting
Rejection is all I ever get
Every piece of me gets broken
My pain seems to be just a token
Of all my efforts
My pain is my world
Cause I’m not good enough
I’m not tough enough
to be forever alone
so break me over and over
I’ll keep telling myself you lie
until my stupidity wears out
and at last I finally die

just kill me now
just kill me now
cause i don't really care
if you want to kill someone
cut off my air
i don't want to live
death would be a pleasure
to both of us the idea
does really quite allure
i find my life pointless
the point is what i can't stand
i hate myself irrevocably
isn't that just grand?
so just kill me now
save me from the pain
you're doing me a favor, my love,
for i am my own bane
cause i don't really care
if you want to kill someone
cut off my air
i don't want to live
death would be a pleasure
to both of us the idea
does really quite allure
i find my life pointless
the point is what i can't stand
i hate myself irrevocably
isn't that just grand?
so just kill me now
save me from the pain
you're doing me a favor, my love,
for i am my own bane

i'm done
i am so done
i'm getting out of here
no more responsibility
and no more fear
i don't give a shit
what happens to me
i'm tired of caring
i don't want to see
i want to be blind
so i'd never know
the horrors of the world
all those people's woe
i'm sick of my life
of trying so hard
of all of my failures
that left me forever scarred
i'm done with the world
i wish i was gone
so just leave me be
as i fade into the dawn
i'm getting out of here
no more responsibility
and no more fear
i don't give a shit
what happens to me
i'm tired of caring
i don't want to see
i want to be blind
so i'd never know
the horrors of the world
all those people's woe
i'm sick of my life
of trying so hard
of all of my failures
that left me forever scarred
i'm done with the world
i wish i was gone
so just leave me be
as i fade into the dawn

RAWR
hope flees her
she's left with nothing
but unwanted desperation
to get the hell out of there
too many people
full of smiles and laughter
she wants to scream
but she won't make a scene
she wishes she could be
like everyone else there
not trapped by her mind
and watching the unfair world
she needs to get out
to be alone and cry
to scream out all the pain
but she can't...
she holds it back
suffocating in others' happiness
social interactions are impossible ...
