POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Empath
Empathy
I feel it so deeply
All the emotions
As if
They were my own
I absorb it
I don't mean to
But it happens
I feel the layers you hide behind
Your words
They open doors
Doors of your heart
I'm sorry if that disturbs you.
Truth is, it's a gift,
And a curse
I understand more than you would ever know
When you describe things, I see them
When you tell me how you felt
My mind places me in your shoes
So please, believe me when I say
"I understand"
I don't control it
It doesn't...
I feel it so deeply

I'm sorry if that disturbs you.
Truth is, it's a gift,

I understand more than you would ever know

Tell Me
Tell me your story
I want to hear it all
Tell me of the glory
Tell me of your pain
Tell me what makes you go insane
I want to know you
I want to know your fears
What brings you to tears
What makes you smile
I don't care if it takes a while
Tell me about you.
Who you are
What you dream of
What you've been through
What you're going through
What you want to accomplish
I want to hear it all
Tell me all about you
Tell me your story
I want to hear it all
Tell me of the glory
Tell me of your pain
Tell me what makes you go insane
I want to know you
I want to know your fears
What brings you to tears
What makes you smile
I don't care if it takes a while
Tell me about you.
Who you are
What you dream of
What you've been through
What you're going through
What you want to accomplish
I want to hear it all
Tell me all about you
Tell me your story

Never Ending Love
He watched me fall apart
He watched as tears streamed down my face
He watched helplessly, as I began to fall apart
From beginning to end
He saw the shimmering light in my eyes fade and fade
The glow I once had dim and dim
He tried all he could to get my attention
Sent me angles in the form of people
He went out of his way
Screaming for me to notice
Waiting for me
Those restless nights
That day that changed my life
He felt my pain
My strife
My suffering
I felt so alone in those days
Abandoned
When all that time, he...

Unexpected Side Effect
I used to ask myself:
What did I do to deserve to be treated this way?
What did I do wrong?
How did I mess things up this time?
Why do you treat me so bad?
Why do I always make you mad?
What happened to that boy whom I loved?
Why am I so unloveable?
But when bad went to worse
And worse got to horrible
And horrible to unbearable...
When I felt self destructive..and you only lived to push me further, knowing the damage you caused.
I walked away.
Forevermore.
You destroyed a part of me, but now I see
Although it...

Look At You Now.
It's been so long since we last spoke
You thought me to be a joke
But look at you now.
I still cross your mind.
You can't seem to get me off your mind.
You haven't been able to leave me behind.
You thought me to be a joke
But look at you now.
I still cross your mind.
You can't seem to get me off your mind.
You haven't been able to leave me behind.

A Chance Restored
Today is a new day
A new beginning
A fresh start
New mercy shown
Yesterday is gone
Your mistakes no longer matter
What's done is done
Begin anew
You have chance to change your course
To better who you are
If you failed yesterday, try again today
Today you are free
Be who you want to be.
A new beginning
A fresh start
New mercy shown
Yesterday is gone
Your mistakes no longer matter
What's done is done
Begin anew
You have chance to change your course
To better who you are
If you failed yesterday, try again today
Today you are free
Be who you want to be.

Life is but a game
How much more can I take?
Let's find out if I'll break
Place the the pressure in mind
Take those I love, leave me behind
Push and pull
Strain me out
Take my heart
And rip it apart.
Strike me grief
With no releif
It's all a game
But you'll never be same
There are no rules
No guidelines
You can play dirty
You play nice
But in the end it doesn't even matter.

Til Death do Us Apart
He watched her from afar
Never saying a word
Keeping close
But not so much as to be noticed
Followed her everywhere
She unknowingly
Went about her days
Never thinking that he would
Return.
Not thinking that maybe
He would come for her
Innocently going about
Never knowing of the danger
the danger that she
was constantly in.
He plotted
He planned
Waiting for the day
The day he would reveal
The day her life he would steal
She was a creature of habit
For it brought comfort
Never too...

The secret place...
He sat there alone
Hidden by the trees
In the shadows
on top of a rock
She walked off
Aimlessly
caught in her thoughts
feeling alone
He questioned
he wondered
if it would ever get better
She never thought that day
Would change her life
She saw him from a distance
And wondered why he was alone
Captivated by her curiosity
She watched him silently
The more he thought
The sadder he became
tears began to roll down his face
She saw his tears
Roll down his cheek
And her heart broke...

A Dark Night With You..
I want to trade this dark night
For a star filled night
For one with a luminous Moon
Shedding light everywhere
Able to see it all
Life at night
Life in darkness
A whole other world
Watch as the stars fall
Listen to the owl call
Hear the melody of crickets
Feel the cool air
Get memorized by the shadows
I want to lie on grass
Feel the coolness embrace us
Look up above
And say all that I'm thinking of
I want to laugh as we run
To nowhere in particular
I want to feel your warm hugs
melt away the cold...

Unsettling
It's funny how when a person begins
Or when a person stops
Doing something that You are not used to,
It makes us feel different
It makes us feel
out
of
order.
It makes me wonder
Why
It is that
We find it
so comforting
Or so unsettling.
is it human nature
Or is it just ourselves
Who place ourselves in
a
box
Afraid to escape
from the everyday norm

Run.
I want to shut out the whole world.
I want to barricade myself away from everything
I want to build a wall so tall no one can ever overcome it
I want to push everyone away
I am scared of hurting them.
Terrified really, of the damage I am capable of
I am a threat, a hazard
to one and all
Don't get too close
You will only end up leaving anyway
Don't let me love you
You will end up fading away with time
Do not let yourself become important to me
It will only prove to be your demise.
I'm sorry I am this way
