POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
is there sense in this?
I want
to give an answer
to pick
to get it over with
but I can't
I wont
it's not possible
too many factors
it depends.
my life
my future
my choice
and I wish
I didn't care
about any of it
I cant care
but I do.
fate already knows
where I'm headed
and yet...
I have to pick
anyway
I don't want to
I can't
not now.
so go
so stay
so fight
I don't care
I'm not letting
thoughts
flow into my head
I cant care
not now
not ever
but I'll have to...

My heart is no more.
My heart is ice
Frozen from empty promises
Cold from envy and anger
Burning with hate for
Fake affection and stupid lies
My heart is a river
Melted from loving words and promises
Rushing from fear
Unable to stop and look at
Where it’s headed…
My heart is rain
Crying for forgiveness
Begging for hope
Wishing it could only find away
to shed the despair…
My heart is a rock
hardened from brokenness
jagged from unanswered questions
thrown into the road
for everyone to see
My heart is dirt...

My heart is rain

Begging for hope
Wishing it could only find away
to shed the despair…
My heart is a rock

jagged from unanswered questions
thrown into the road
for everyone to see

This Hellhole
A room full of people,
My family.
All of them smiling,
Except me.
They each have
Their own version of me;
Of whom they think I am,
Of whom I should be.
They are happy
Because they don’t know
The person
In which I grow.
I sit there
Not knowing what to say
I want them to know
But not… not today.
I don’t know
How to be strong.
I’m not part of a movie
Or a song…
I can’t tell them
Who I really am.
On my face
The door will be slammed.
And if it...
My family.
All of them smiling,
Except me.
They each have
Their own version of me;
Of whom they think I am,
Of whom I should be.
They are happy
Because they don’t know
The person
In which I grow.
I sit there
Not knowing what to say
I want them to know
But not… not today.
I don’t know
How to be strong.
I’m not part of a movie
Or a song…
I can’t tell them
Who I really am.
On my face
The door will be slammed.
And if it...

I'm dying.
I’m dying…
Waiting
Wishing
Hoping
The anguish
Trying
Not to cry
To no avail
Pain
Burning
Leaving nothing
But despair
Crying out
Silently
Lost in memories
That cannot be repaired
A burst
Excitement
Hopeful
Heart skipping
Again
Let down
Just nothing
A tear slipping
Over
And over
...

It Hurts.
I am starting to doubt
if there's any point in this
why not end it now
before we share a kiss
there's obviously others
about whom you care
playing with my feelings
just doesn't seem fair
I don't want to hurt
I'm sorry but I don't
I'm starting to think
matter that it won't
the pain will follow
no matter what I do
so why waste my time
pining over you
it hurts not to talk
but more yet to do so
I'm starting to hate your closet friends
and them I do not know
I didn't want to say it
it just...

One too many?
I don’t know why
You say the things you say
But no matter what you do,
I love you anyway
I do not understand
But yet cannot deny
I don’t know what to think
Of this I cannot lie
I cannot bear to think
Of being apart from you
But I must admit
I don’t know what to do
I have a hole
In my heart
From the emptiness
Of which you’ve become a part
I’ve become elusive
I know and I’m sorry
I just don’t want to hurt you
Or let you hurt me
I told you I run
When I am afraid
But I don’t want to...

My Gorgeous Star
A gorgeous star,
A shining light,
The one who
Shines so bright.
Something slips.
Just a tear.
Contained in it
Is all my fear.
You wipe it off,
Take it away,
And then I’m safe
For one more day.
Always there
To show me
Just how great
The future could be.
If only I
Could just let go,
Just be free,
Let everyone know.
I love you, baby.
You know it’s true.
I want forever
To spend with you.
In the strength,
That you...

An Aching Heart
My heart aches
to be with you.
The feeling's strange,
and yet it's true.
Under your spell
in less than a day,
wondering how
it could happen this way.
I sit here and feel
the pain in my heart
wishing the day over,
so tomorrow can start.
How does this happen
in so little time?
But already I know...
I know that you're mine.
And tomorrow I will
tenderly kiss you sweet lips...
thanking God that you're here, and
for giving me such a beautiful gift.
To my beautiful...
to be with you.

My Wish For The Future
My wish for the future
is to know who I am,
to be happy and eager
not stuck in a dam.
I want to be real,
let everyone know,
to care about my friends
and not about my foe.
But, I can't be real
with you holding me back,
with no way to flee
your terrible grasp.
I want you to know
I hate what you do,
but because you are me,
I hate me too.

A Confused Secret
Why is she afraid
to just let go?
Why won’t she let
everyone know?
People are people,
and they can be mean.
It frightens her that
she’ll have to come clean.
Not letting herself look,
deep inside,
to see the truth,
where it does hide.
She wants to know,
and she doesn’t.
She’s afraid of what it was,
and what it wasn’t.
But, how will she know,
if she doesn’t take a chance?
How could one argue
if they won’t take stance?
But, what if she’s wrong
about how she thinks...
to just let go?
Why won’t she let
everyone know?

Do you lie?
What can I do?
What do I say?
How can I make you
see it my way?
I don’t understand.
Maybe its not meant to be,
but who are you
to lie to me.
Why all the trouble?
What’s all this for?
I need to know, love
what you have in store.
Maybe I’m wrong,
and you’re telling the truth.
Maybe I just can’t see
beyond my wall of ruth.

Why Can't I Get You Out Of My Head?
If it’s so wrong,
Why do I question?
If it’s so bad,
Why can’t I just forget it?
If it’s so wretched,
Why can’t I get you out of my head?
Why do I question?
If it’s so bad,
Why can’t I just forget it?
If it’s so wretched,
Why can’t I get you out of my head?
