POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Wait For Me
The decision was made for us.
It was in our cards,
call it Fate.
You and I were made for each other,
specifically.
There is no other fit.
We are imperfectly perfect,
"A Beautiful Mess".
You make me believe there might be something 'higher' than this, than us.
We have beaten each other down,
over and over,
time and time again.
Taking turns annihilating one other.
Together we have risen.
Never stopping loving each other.
The world turns for us,
our love is unconditional.
So much time we've missed.

Some people but not me
Some people make their fantasies realities
The go getters
Ones full of confidence
I watch mine slip out of reach
Some people speak their mind
Like verbal diarrhea
Never shutting the fuck up
I keep my thoughts to myself
Some people find the love of their life the first time around
Happily ever after
Till death do they part
I've managed to lose count
Some people do everything right
The church goers
Volunteering their time
I don't believe in their god
Some people never feel pain
Loneliness, heartache,...

Dear Heart
Dear Heart,
You deserve my sincerest apologies. I was supposed to protect you and I have failed to keep you safe. I'm ashamed of myself and my mistakes. I don't want to make excuses for my negligence but you have to admit that you gave me mixed signals. Every time he would come around you fluttered. He'd touch me and you'd skip a beat, sometimes making me lose my breath. He really got you pumped up! I even tried to have my mind talk some sense into you. I should've known you wouldn't listen, the two of you never agree on anything. I'm just sorry for not doing more. I know you're...

Brent
Broke me with the very first kiss
Replaced with feelings of sheer bliss
Ended a love before it started
Never thought you'd be so cold hearted
Thinking always of your name
Brent...why'd I let you get away?

My missing piece
Please get out of my head
I want to be left alone
Even in your absence you're always with me
I'd much rather be lonely
I don't want these thoughts of you
The whys and what ifs
The dreams
Made up fairy tales with happy endings
Although, my favorite is the one where I'm a Cupid
I shoot you in the face
Then you love me...so stupid!
My heart was broken before you
But I had it all taped back together
Now it's fucking shattered
Guess it's my fault for not using 3M
Scotch is for beginners
How am I supposed to fix it this time?...

Fix You
I've been holding my breath
I'm a weird shade of blue
Coldplay on repeat
I will try to fix you
With my lack of air
I slip into a dream
Not trying to fight it
This suffocations serene
It's just me and you alone in a room
You're behind a microphone
Me sitting facing you
You sing that song to me
Whisper it right into my ear
I gasp for a breath,
While I reach out to touch you
The image of you vanishes
I'm tossed back into reality
As my color returns
My heads still kinda cloudy
Then I hear my song again
I'm too in...

I'm Broken
It's a painful cry
Like someone has died
The reality is you'll never be in my life
I'm inconsolable
At least I'm by myself
Cause my tears aren't controllable
Fuck I wanna see you one more time
Confess my love
Make you mine
That will never happen
It's those stupid fantasies that I get so wrapped up in
So I guess it's goodbye
I'm just not "it" for you
But for you I will cry
Broken hearted
Till the day I die
Like someone has died
The reality is you'll never be in my life
I'm inconsolable
At least I'm by myself
Cause my tears aren't controllable
Fuck I wanna see you one more time
Confess my love
Make you mine
That will never happen
It's those stupid fantasies that I get so wrapped up in
So I guess it's goodbye
I'm just not "it" for you
But for you I will cry
Broken hearted
Till the day I die

Free Fall
Blurred vision
Salty streams
You've made a decision
In secrecy
Which has left me hanging
By fraying strings
Wishing you'd just cut them
I don't care if it stings
I hate this feeling
Of being suspended
At least if I'm falling
Ill know that it's ended
Grab ahold of me
And pull me to safety
Or take out your scissors
Ill try to fall gracefully

Lust and Love
You and I
are not a we
Not together
or separately
Separated by these words
that never touch
two different worlds
These feelings for you
deep down inside
pour out of me
while yours just hide
I shouldn't feel the way I do
since you lust me
but I love you
are not a we
Not together
or separately
Separated by these words
that never touch
two different worlds
These feelings for you
deep down inside
pour out of me
while yours just hide
I shouldn't feel the way I do
since you lust me
but I love you

I'm trying to figure out why I'm so drawn to you.
Thoughts of you rush into my head so fast, and it's sort of overwhelming.
Mostly because I can't sort them out quick enough.
I catch myself all dreamy eyed, staring off into nothingness, thinking of your smile.
You've breathed life into an imagination I thought no longer existed.
I've let false insecurities give me bad information.
I'm done being "scared" of you, sabotaging my happiness and yours.
My heart, mind, and gut are the three factors of my feelings.
