POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
I've Lost the Energy To Think of Titles
I wake up every morning
Thinking of how you don't love me
Looking at the mirror crying
"YOU'RE SO FUCKING UGLY"
And what is it about me
That makes you hate me in your head
Home is where my heart is
And there's a stranger in my bed
And what is it about me
That makes me disgusting in your chest
With you is all I want to be
But so far I'm just depressed
I think of slitting my throat
Because you hate the sound of my voice
And biting off my tongue
Because you hate all my words of choice
I'd do anything...

And what is it about me

Pin the Tail on the Donkey
I’m a poster of skin
Held up by push pins
A party game for friends and kin
Their rotation is old
They revolve and unfold
No handicaps or blindfolds
From line end to line start
They stick me with darts
Playing ‘Pin the Attack' on my heart

Careful. One Day Your Best Friend, For Some Reason, Might Want To Voluntarily and Forcefully Be Your Worst Enemy
Hate me like a child
Like you’re somehow entitled
Yeah, sit there in all your strife
But remember that your life
Is the product of the knife
I dug into my own back
No, never forget that
You were stuck in that cold trap
Until your theft of her
Rather than treat you like a thief
I live and let be
A treatment you’ll never deserve
Like my band VanaX on facebook if you liked my writing! thank you!

Hopefully The Colors Make You Notice
I wish I could paint a world
If only just for you
Even though you wouldn't notice
Like everything else I do
I'd make your dark vanish
By brushing the moon a bighter sheen
And make your heartache stop
By painting winter green
You'd live in Autumn forever
Because it resembles your eyes
A vibrant mix of beauty
That comes before things die
I'd paint your gaze in the sun
So the sky would know how I feel
I'd paint your smile in the heavens
To prove that angels would kneel
Finally I'd mix our hearts ...

Forever Only Lasts Til' The Sun Comes Up
I’ve stolen you several times
And I’ll do it again
I’ll never stop trying
You’re the only reason I live
I could sit here for days
And just stare at your eyes
I’ll put his eyes in my head
If you’re getting sick of mine
And I’ll even talk like him
If it’ll get you to reply
And I’ll kiss you while you’re sleeping
So you don’t have to lie
You’re definition of forever
Was all a huge setup
To you forever only lasted
Until the sun came up
Like my band VanaX on facebook if you liked my writing! thank...

When The Sun Burns Out
I've had trouble sleeping at night
Due to thoughts of you
It's been almost a year now
What am I putting myself through?
I miss the old you
The one I fell in love with
Who wrote me secret notes
And filled my life with bliss
I still read your poems
And your valentine's day card
I feel like a fucking stalker
But losing you is so hard
I really wish this mattered
I really wish you cared
Photographs still get me lost
But I miss your actual stare
I only seem to have these thoughts
When the lights...

Tasting Storms
I've been kissing light bulbs
And forcing prongs into my wrist
To try and recreate the spark
That I'd get from your kiss
The pain's a burning rush
And my heart speeds with voltage
But I miss soft lips
And tender voices
I've been standing in storms
Letting thunder shakes my lungs
As I tilt my face to the sky
To catch lightning on my tongue
The jolt is familiar
But the heat tastes petty
Because you're the only catalyst
That makes my heart unsteady
With no kiss that shocks me ...

As Halloween Approaches (Song)
I know you don’t care
But I think of you constantly,
How can I forget the beautiful eyes
That caused this constant high
I can’t come down
My feet won’t touch the tile
The sun only lives to compete
With your bright smile
Your beautiful smile
In violent bursts
And sudden crashes
Your beauty renders
Me in ashes
And I as blow through the air
And land at your feet
I’ve never in my life felt
Quite this complete
Love me
Oh please pumpkin, come back
I’ve changed for you ...
But I think of you constantly,
How can I forget the beautiful eyes

I can’t come down

And sudden crashes
Your beauty renders
Me in ashes
And I as blow through the air
And land at your feet
I’ve never in my life felt

Love me
Oh please pumpkin, come back

Whiny Little Biatch
My tears are plummeting to their grave
And my hearts being carried off in a hearse
I can get over it, but I’ve fucked up so bad
Moving on will just make shit worse
I’ve buried all my happiness
So deep that no one will ever find it
If you have a contract to reverse time
I’d give my sight to sign it
I’d do anything to go back
To when I had a fighting chance
But the world has put me in my place
Amongst all the other trash
And the one person on this earth
That I thought would always love me
Would let me die to...

A Very Missed Ryno
For months now, I can’t stop thinking
Of our younger days
Those exciting childhood memories
Have me caught in their nostalgic gaze
I was probably more annoying
Than I ever should’ve been
But when it came down to blood or bone
I was always your best friend
You can talk to me about anything
So why did you just hate me
I could adjust myself to your new standards
Because I’ve always considered you family
You were my first friend
In an unfamiliar town
The second...

Blowing Out The Candles...
You’ve made fireworks
Shoot from my skin
Arms spread in dazzling colour
I took you in
Those huge green eyes
Turned my heart into a horror show
Every time they’d face me
The gore developed a stronger glow
But my heart no longer burns
Missing my candle that fueled love for two
My jack-o-lantern flame is gone
Halloween was far too good for you
That romantically undead day
That welcomed love and impurity
Every pumpkin sang for us
And spit on their maturity
Without this...

It IS All Your Fault
I don’t think of you
As just another mistake
I don’t hate you for cheating on me
Or even being completely fake
I won’t call you dirt
And I’ll forgive the things you said
I’ll even try to trust you
When you steal my best friend
If there’s one thing I can say
About your view on my maturity
Study up before you attack
Because you don’t know anything about me
I feed my little brother
And wake him up for school
I drive myself to my job
And you can’t even cook your own food
...
