POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I am a lover of all and a lover of none, I keep everything close yet everything so far away from me, I am in complete light but also in complete darkness. I am merely me.
The Angel's Heart
One day an angel fell,
From her perch,
And onto a place like Hell,
A place called Earth.
While there she found a man,
Whom she cared about,
But love between angel and human,
It was not allowed.
So the angel, in despair,
Went to a young demon,
And tore off a wing beyond repair,
To become a human.
This angel searched for her dear,
The man that held her heart.
The one she wanted to be near,
Now that she had a new life to start.
But he found another woman,
Another girl in another town.
The angel now turned...
From her perch,
And onto a place like Hell,
A place called Earth.
While there she found a man,
Whom she cared about,
But love between angel and human,
It was not allowed.
So the angel, in despair,
Went to a young demon,
And tore off a wing beyond repair,
To become a human.
This angel searched for her dear,
The man that held her heart.
The one she wanted to be near,
Now that she had a new life to start.
But he found another woman,
Another girl in another town.

Chained
You used to have me,
Shackled and chained down,
Guess you couldn't see,
You were too busy messing around.
Don't lie to me,
Don't tell me thing that's aren't true.
You're something I'll never be,
I'll never be like you.
You can cage me in,
Hold me like a precious jewel.
You can pretend your love isn't sin,
But my heart shall win this duel.
I am myself and live my own life,
I won't let you hold me down,
Won't let you cut me again with your heart sharp as a knife.
In the end, I'll wear the crown.
My path is my...

Dear mother, dear father.
It's great to see you turn away
and not listen.
It's really usual isn't it?
Knowing that you don't care anymore.
Not sure why I'm
shocked.
This silence is as worthless
as you both are.
So dear mother,
your name calling, your
insults
and your
curses,
it makes me feel like nothing.
But I'm fucked up,
because you are.
And dear father,
you're no better are you?
Do I exist in your world?
Your only daughter, does she remain in
your mind?
I'm locked away in my mind,
you can't find me.
I'm gone,
but before...

Oh God I love you.
Tonight is the night,
We get to meet again.
It's such sore sight,
When I know how long it's been.
Your touch is like fire,
Your lips like ice.
I can't help but admire,
Everything you'd do to entice.
Oh my sweet love,
Take me away tonight.
I am yours my love,
In the warm star light.
Oh how I ache,
To be held by you,
To feel your embrace,
I'm sure you knew.
Don't play coy,
I'll let you bind me,
I'll be your toy.
I'm all yours, can't you see?
I can feel that warmth,
It's growing inside...

Listen to me!
I can't take this anymore!
Seriously, I heard it all before!
'What type of daughter are you?'
'God, isn't that something you shoulda knew?'
I watched myself bleed again today,
But would you care if you saw it yourself anyway?
Another attempt to off myself,
My friends all call me 'Miss Kill Herself'.
I bet you can't hear me scream,
Because all you say is 'Don't cause a scene!'
And were I to ask for help,
You'd tell me I should be ashamed of myself.
When did everyone come before me?
When did the day come when I didn't want to...

Take a Hint
Seriously, just walk away now,
I don't think you could swallow,
What I'm putting out,
So hang your head and walk away with 'sorrow'.
C'mon, you honestly think I'm your type?
With dark hair and dark eyes?
Honey, if you think that, something ain't right,
Because your 'pose' is pathetic and so are your tries.
You and your 'letterman' jacket,
Couldn't get me and my fishnets.
So stop trying to make it,
'Cause you're not getting this.
Take a hint,
I don't want you to buy me a drink.
And please take a mint,
Because your...

Sweet Winter
Sorrow is the song the wind sings,
Late winter chill is what the wind brings.
The branches of the pine,
Creak and cry, makes a shiver shake my spine.
This dreary scene,
I somehow find it serene.
The silence, the isolation,
Provides me a strange feeling of Salvation.
Oh, sweet and bitter Winter,
I sit in awe in your snow so tender.
Be born again and start a new,
Oh sweet Winter, I beckon you!
Your chilled embrace,
Your icy taste.
Perhaps if I get lost in you,
I, too, can start new.
Sweet mother of the season,...

Break
Let my head fall into my hands,
My heart has been broken again.
Why are you doing this?
Spinning me round, and round, and round.
C’mon, just stop and tell me what the hell is wrong!
What did I do this time?!
To deserve another
Black Eye!
Another heart broken
Another love lost
Can’t say I’m shocked
But I never thought it’d hurt so much
Another wound opened
More pain that I have to swallow
But I never thought I’d be left
Left alone
In sorrow
Honestly, why are you looking at me like that?
Don’t act like all of a...

Friends
Don't worry about it,
Sometimes it's best to forget.
Why are your crying?
Why are you hiding?
It's okay to NOT be okay,
Isn't that what I always say?
C'mon, smile,
Even if just for a lil' while.
I'm not going to walk away,
So it's alright to lean on me and cry, okay?
Honestly, sniffling and crying,
It's alright to do so stop lying.
You're face is red like a tomato,
You're prettier when you smile, you know?
Don't worry, I'll always be near,
So don't cry, don't fear.
I won't hurt you or call you names,
We won't argue and I'll...

Mirror
Mirror, mirror,
Have I finally got it?
Because, Mirror, you won't let me forget.
Mirror, Mirror,
Am I perfect yet?
Because, Mirror, you've caught me in your net.
But I'm finding it's not easy,
To be what you want me to be.
So, Mirror, you can't own me.
Sorry, you can't define me!
Mirror, mirror,
Why'd you lie?
"Don't you want to see me smile?" I sighed.
Mirror, mirror,
I just want to be happy,
I don't want to look at you sadly.
But I don't need you anymore,
I know now, I'm sure.

Me
My heart is wide and true,
Like a star looking at you.
My mind is never ending,
Like a night sky while the sun is descending.
I am limitless and unbound,
Something unique, yet to be found.
My age is disregarded,
After all, it's just a number, who needs it?
I am vast, I am strong,
I am like a nightingale and her song.
I don't even have to try,
For I am me, as endless as the sky.
So I'll just work at me, because I am me,
And being me comes naturally.

Failure
What a failure I am,
I can't do what they can.
All I deserve is cold steel,
A blade to cut and a world too real,
The blood is so warm,
When caught in the cold of a storm.
What a failure I've become,
What in the world has begun?
Just shoot me,
I'm already on my knees.
My imperfection,
Is an infection.
It's eating my mind,
It's breaking my spine.
Just end this pain,
I don't want to cry again.
Give me eternal sleep,
You can have this life, it's yours to keep!
What a failure I repeat,
What a failure I re-speak.
I want...
I can't do what they can.
