POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm Dillon, I write mostly sad or unhappy and love poems, I love to branch out into the weird though.
Your Eyes
I can't explain it
I've never seen eyes as beautiful as yours
Eyes that made me want to forget everything else
That made me want to get up in the morning
Just to look at them
Eyes that made me do crazy things
That made me want to look into them
For the rest of my life
To ask you one day
To only look back into mine
No one elses
Until we passed away
I sometimes look up at the night sky
Wondering where you are right now
If you're looking up too
If one of those stars is reflecting you
I'll never forget them
Our skin will age, our...

Conversations With The Mind: Feelings
Don't apologize for your feelings
You can hurt, You can cry
Why do I feel like this?
Why am I sad, when nothing is wrong
Why do I feel like I have no right
To still occasoinally hurt
Over a girl I knew forever ago
To miss a dead relative
To miss something I never had
How can you lose something you don't own
Sadness just exists, feelings aren't real
And yet they are more real than you can imagine
And they give you reason to live
And reason to take in greed
They rules your world like a bipolar king
Searching for his queen...

The Power Within Your Mind
This lost dark feeling of sin
Like being dropped in a vast ocean
Everything splashes around me
I float down, unable to see
The place I want to be
Is this gods will or a test?
Because if it is
I'll try harder than the rest
With an earth shattering roar
I disperse the water
Able to see the shore
Claw my way through the mud
And pick myself up from the rough
I control my life
No matter how much stress
No matter how much pain
The aura around me repels it all
Blowing winds from my soul
Widening...

Fly With Me
Just when I think she's gone
Just when it feels normal
Something comes along
And reminds me of her
Reminds me that she's something special
That she's beautiful and smart
That when I try to talk to her
I say the stupidest things
Because I'm scared
Scared that these feelings never left
I feel like my words make her angry
Because I can never get them right
Because I feel like a confused kid
When I talk to her
And my stomach ties in knots
I feel...

And they asked how I could say that

The Life of a Dragonfly
We scramble from bars to clubs
Looking for that one person
So we can feel accomplished
Even if we are out with friends
Its always in the back of our minds
We want someone to never see again
Someone to feel our pain
Sadness is the worst drug
Making you do things you normally wouldn't
Corrupting your soul, to make you desperate
Clawing its mark across your back
So we can brag that we sweat that night
Instead of just dying, instead of peace
We create a torment for ourselves
Dull our senses under lights
And pray she says the first words...

Nightmarescapes
I tripped, fell into the mud
Tears streaming from my face
What was I running from?
What could scare me so bad?
That my lungs might explode
But I couldn't scream
As I looked down into the puddle
My reflection without a face
As it broke away and I entered a house
Men women and children
Hanging from the ceilings upside down
Their faces mutilated
Their insides hanging out from them
I want to scream, I want to die
I have never felt true horror
Until I realize after they let out moans
They're still alive....
And I turn and run,...

The Pain We Cause Ourselves
As soon as you told me that
I knew I was a fool
A dreamer among the all seeing
Blinded by my own light in my heart
I was silent when I heard those words
I don't know why
Something I hoped to never hear I guess
The thing was you never even knew
I just imagined you handing me a knife
But it was all me, I stabbed that pain into myself
I made that choice, you were just the one I saw
The unknowing participant in the stands
I wanted to say it was all for you
But what a fool
To be hurt by some words shared by friends
To still think its okay...

The Play of the Lovelorn
Save me from these shining lights
And just hold me in your embrace
Life isn`t a race and we have forever
To figure out everything
Wherever I go, you`ll be my heaven
Close your eyes and just trace the skies
You`ve become a permanent resident of my heart
Occasional dropper by of my mind
At least once a day
I feel the squeeze on my stomach
Because I don`t know what the hell to do
When I think that you don`t even care I exist
I can`t just ask
It`s become a task bigger than our history
We didn`t last this far for nothing
Knowing what we...

Bad Man
You could always see it, always tell
See the darkness inside of someone
Through the spaces, voids of life
By looking into their eyes, just seeing the scream
The horrors of people, fucking people
Watching as they watched a last breath
Crying tears of blood into their hands
The fucking pain of an entire life
Compiled into two little pupils
Little projections of horror movies
Enough pain to make my hands clench
My brow furrow and my very core shake
Enough to disgust me, to think how could someone do this?
Do such things to another...

Cleansing
I take the rainwater from yesterday
And pour it over my heart
I take the tears from my life
And wash my skin until it stings
I rip the darkness from my very soul
And plunge a knife through it
Once a hollow shell
Filled with my own personal hell
I let the sorrow bleed to the floor
Run down the drain so I don't feel anymore
Place a gun of happiness against my temple
Pull the trigger and watch
As the sun rises over the end of my bed
And waves crash against the cliffs of my dresser
I'm standing in an open jail cell
Breathing in the fresh...

Trials and Articulation
You'll never see
I understand
But how could I ever tell you?
That I dream of you
That I can't go a day without thinking about you
That I would give it all to take you with me
To tell you everything will be okay
To love you everyday
To break down these walls
Surrounding me, surrounding you
Shout to the sky your name
Write you into a book
Just to read you everyday
To let these butterflies in my stomach
Fly me to the sky
And let me rest on the clouds, dreaming of you
I can't control these urges, these feelings
I can pretend to...

The Moons Eyes (The Lone Samurai Moon)
When I was 19
I had already killed 4 people
I knew not why I had this strength
This speed or precision
To cut a man down before he can move
To send him to another realm
It was like there were four of me
Swinging down in all directions
Like a pack of mad wolves surrounding its prey
It was the fire in my eyes
That burned like the sun
A man could have many tricks
But skill and passion were not one of them
I remember my sword, cutting elegantly
Through a mans torso, splattering his blood on a nearby tree
I just stood there, sword still...
