POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I just graduated high school, I've been writing since I was a freshman. Check my works out if you like not so sappy love and sinister realities.
Immortalize
I breathe in, but I won't breathe out.
This is it. No going back.
I breathe in, but I can't let it out.
This is it, this is my last.
Immortalize me in this very moment, God!
Life gets no better than this for me,
Immortalize my body, I beg you, God!
Life is all but over, as you can see.
It hurts to say I'll never see Paris or Rome,
I'll never enjoy the feel of her soft lips to mine,
It hurts to say I'll never go back home,
I'll never hear her wish me Happy Valentine's...
But really would I have anyway?
These things...
This is it. No going back.
I breathe in, but I can't let it out.
This is it, this is my last.
Immortalize me in this very moment, God!

Immortalize my body, I beg you, God!
Life is all but over, as you can see.
It hurts to say I'll never see Paris or Rome,
I'll never enjoy the feel of her soft lips to mine,
It hurts to say I'll never go back home,
I'll never hear her wish me Happy Valentine's...
But really would I have anyway?

You Make It So Easy (In collaboration with Lilmizseany)
You make it so easy to make it look so hard,
I see through this glamour to a childish lie,
And it kills me to know that I let down my guard,
Yet over this past regret I do not cry.
No, for my tear glands have grown too numb,
My soul is too broken to care,
That I dared to let myself succumb,
To the dark pit and what awaits there.
The smell of death lured me in,
Grasped a cold hand round my chest,
Twisted me to face his sins,
So forever I may rest.
Because you make it so easy to make it look so hard to want to live.
It's one...

Kill Me
Do it. Push the knife ever further.
I want you to. It feels good.
Do it. Kill me, mother.
I want you to. Draw my blood.
Tear me apart, my dear mother,
You brought me into this world, and now I want out.
Tear me down, my dear brother,
You taught me everything I know and now you've let me down.
Oh but dearest father! You taught me the most important thing!
You taught me to hate! Isn't that just wonderful?
Oh now that I can hate, now I've truly lived like a king!
You raised me up with the rage of a bull.
Kill me now!!!
Kill me...

Hemophobic Hemophiliac
Every lingering trickle
Sends a chill down my spine.
Every red drop I dribble
Sends me screaming for my life.
I'm bleeding, bleeding once again.
But will it last forever?
I'm bleeding, will I bleed again?
But no! I could never!
Because here and now I die!
Here and now I end this hell!
Because here and now I draw the line!
Here and now I cut myself!
I've cut myself so deep, now it's surely over!
I could not stand to see myself bleed again!
I've cut myself to end the blood flow!
I must now bleed to death to win!
Sends a chill down my spine.
Every red drop I dribble
Sends me screaming for my life.
I'm bleeding, bleeding once again.
But will it last forever?
I'm bleeding, will I bleed again?
But no! I could never!
Because here and now I die!
Here and now I end this hell!
Because here and now I draw the line!
Here and now I cut myself!
I've cut myself so deep, now it's surely over!
I could not stand to see myself bleed again!
I've cut myself to end the blood flow!
I must now bleed to death to win!

Take Me
Hold my hand. Don't you ever let go.
I'm scared and you know it.
Hold my hand, and hold me close.
I'm scared but I don't want to show it.
But it does. It shows oh so well.
And I hate it. Never have I been so exposed.
But I can't help it. It's a living hell.
And I have to live in it. I guess that's how life goes.
It feels like they're driving a knife into my heart,
Hug me so that it cannot reach my chest.
It feels like they're tearing me apart,
Hug me so that I hold together nonetheless.
But I'm falling to pieces, ...
I'm scared and you know it.

The Peace Offering
He walks up to you, ready to forgive.
You roll your eyes as he isn't looking.
His intents are good as any, his heart as fragile as glass.
He says he's sorry for what he's done, knowing he didn't do it.
"I really have to go now," you lie to his naive ear.
He knows better than that, but simply stares as you leave.
The day's flown by, you head for home.
You open your door to find a menacing figure.
There you find his body lying in a puddle of blood.
His skin is torn off, and he holds out his dripping heart
In an arm that's only bone.
You...

Home
Will you follow me into the dark?
Can you trust me that well?
Will you believe in my broken heart?
Can you stay, just for a spell?
This place is my home,
So make yourself cozy.
This is where I can be alone,
So may you now see:
That I need you,
More than you can know;
That I need you,
More than I can show;
That I want you,
More than you can see;
That I want you,
More than you believe
I want you to--
I NEED you to
Call this place home
So that I'm not alone
Call me into the dark
So I'll...

The Mirror and the Ghost
I am the mirror, shattered and broken,
Waiting for someone
To put Humpty together again.
I ask myself--and whoever's up there--
Does anybody,
Just anybody care?
I hear the glass I call my heart shatter inside me,
My blood rushes to my feet
As gravity overcomes me.
I saw the mountaintop, clear in sight,
But then it disappeared,
Like a thief in the night.
I wish I'd seen the avalanche, so mighty and so great,
But blind I was to the large white mass,
'Til it was too late.
I am the mirror, shattered and broken,
Waiting for someone...

The Darkest Secret
I hold inside me a secret deeper than the sea, blacker than crude,
A story violent and disturbing but I could not have let it out in a manner more rude.
Hidden for so many years, my fury has laid dormant waiting to be awakened,
But once it was, the relief was nonexistent and I only felt naked.
The past has always haunted me but now more than ever,
My rage has now terminated all of my endeavors.
After four years of torture, in which I never told on myself, my fuse has worn down,
And now I lay on the guillotine, my own creation, but for a change in verdict I...

Slipping
Slipping under,
Rolling thunder,
Slipping closer,
Rolling over.
Falling into the hole and its darkness,
Held so far away from the light.
Falling into the hands of the heartless,
Held so incredibly tight by the night.
Hold my hand, baby,
But only for a second.
Hold my hand baby,
But know how it will end.
This death beyond all death
Will consume you next.
This dying breath
Will bring you in next.
Innocently I was dragged down,
Because of course we all must go.
Innocently I brought you down,
Because I...

All Life Brings
The life of a peasant is all I've seen,
But more there is to life--I guarantee!--
Than sleep and work and hunger pangs,
The rags on our backs, but it's all life brings...
To me.
I know I have to reach out for these things,
But it's a song no one before me sang.
All those people have marvelous things,
But all I have is... all life brings...
To me.
So out I'll reach,
Till I fill that need,
That hunger for something,
Something that will be more than all life brings...
To me.
I put forth my hand into the fire of hurt,...
But more there is to life--I guarantee!--
Than sleep and work and hunger pangs,
The rags on our backs, but it's all life brings...
To me.

Oh My...
Oh my dearest heartache,
How I love you so.
Oh my dearest heartbreak,
How I wish you wouldn't go.
Oh my dearest love,
How I hate you so.
Oh your kisses from above,
How they make me glow.
I glow with fury, glow with rage,
Hate your guts, although you say,
"I love you," at point blank range,
Hate you and all your ways.
Oh my, how I'd kill you
If ever I got the chance.
Oh my, how you'd hate me too,
If only I had the chance.
Because I love you,
And love is weakness,
So I hate you,
Oh my...
How I love you so.
Oh my dearest heartbreak,
How I wish you wouldn't go.
Oh my dearest love,
How I hate you so.
Oh your kisses from above,
How they make me glow.

"I love you," at point blank range,
