POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Hiding Her Past
Her peers pass her by daily
None take notice of her there
She fades well into the wall
No one seems to care
Her skin is like paper
Thin and pale white
Her hollow eyes search the halls
Lit up by buzzing fluorescent lights
She hugs her books to her chest
Her posture worse than most
Her skin is harboring something deep
She is sheltering her ghosts
Her past haunts her every day
The demons never let her go
Past threats force her lips shut
Her pain will never show
Her innocence ripped from her ...

Her skin is harboring something deep
She is sheltering her ghosts
Her past haunts her every day
The demons never let her go
Past threats force her lips shut
Her pain will never show
Her innocence ripped from her ...

Left Out in the Storm
Settling upon a pure white rose
My wings slow down to rest
I close my eyes,embrace the night
Hoping for the best
For I hear the thunder rumbling
A storm is starting to brew
I'm taking shelter in velvet petals
Praying they will carry me through
I hear the whisper of your wings
So I peer out of my spot
You are fluttering by, with another
Not giving me a single thought
Your laughter rings out against the trees
Her joy is obvious too
I disappear within the rose
My heart turning dark blue
The clouds...
My wings slow down to rest
I close my eyes,embrace the night
Hoping for the best
For I hear the thunder rumbling
A storm is starting to brew
I'm taking shelter in velvet petals
Praying they will carry me through
I hear the whisper of your wings
So I peer out of my spot
You are fluttering by, with another
Not giving me a single thought
Your laughter rings out against the trees
Her joy is obvious too
I disappear within the rose
My heart turning dark blue

Dance With Me?
There we all were
In that clausterphobic place
Strobe lights were flashing
Sweat was dripping down my face
With the bass ripping my heart from my chest
I couldn't concentrate on anything else
But the way I moved my hips to the beat
The way the lights glittered off my belt
The DJ took a break
I decided to quench my thirst
I went to get a drink
That I had left in my purse
When a silhouette approached me
A very large one at that
I stood my ground at 5 foot 7
He insisted he only wanted to chat
I nervously stood...

You're Too Precious For This
My dear,sweet girl
I understand the reasons you cry
I promise,I know
But no one else seems to know why
You're too precious
For the shit that you face
Every night,every day
Searching for a peaceful place
I'll give you a place
Than no one else can
No human being on Earth
Especially that repulsive"man"
You're too precious to not have a home
To rest your sweet head at night
I can give you a place to hide
You'd never leave my protective sight
You're too precious to be...

Reoccurring Nightmare
When my eyelids seal at night
The blood begins to shed
No one suspects the images I see
The screams when the walls run red
It begins with a hallway
Too dark,too damp,too long
Then I hear a small whisper
Singing a tiny gorgeous song
What I think are fingernails
Tickling at my neck
Soon turn into scraping claws
My composure is now a wreck
The talons dig into my flesh
Tearing apart my back
Hands try to steal me away
Farther into the black
What I think are kindhearted hands ...

My composure is now a wreck
The talons dig into my flesh

Hands try to steal me away
Farther into the black

Empty Shell
Look in the mirror
What do I see?
This empty girl
Staring back at me
Scars etched into her
Pale skin so fair
Frightened ever changing eyes
Dishwater blonde hair
Chipped fingernail polish
Eyeliner smudged to hell
A shaking hand holds the knife
She knows so very well
Blood running down her thighs
That she wishes were much smaller
If only she was thinner
If only she was taller
Longing to be held
I can see it in her eyes
No one else can see it
Only I...

Endless Cycle
Worn out from the days trials
Tired as can be
I slump to the floor
Needing something to lift me
I remember the colorful pills
My friend said"babe they'll make you fly"
Telling myself I'd do it this once
I decided to give it a try
Soon my heart was racing
Adrenaline was flowing
Sweat was pouring
Mind sadly unknowing
My tongue going 90 miles an hour
Talking to who knows what
Bugs crawling under my skin
Attempting to give them a swat
The sensation doesn't cease
Until 2...

Hope You're Happy Now
As I stand at the corner
Of where you kissed me last
I see you strolling arm in arm
With a demon of my past
Suddenly memories flood my skull
Blinding me with forgotten sights
Immediately I fall to my knees
Pedestrians confused by my obvious plight
I think of all the promises you never kept
Every time you made me cry
All the bruises that you left
And every little lie
I am choking on the nostalgic air
Brought forth from the sight of you
I stare at the scars on my wrists
My web of veins...
