Paperclips

Smooth curves, shiny silver;Used to hold things together.In this case, though,They became a tetherTo my pastAnd hopefully my forever.A bracelet of memories.

Catch Me

How far will I fall till I hit the ground?How long before my heart ceases to pound?If I somehow land safely will you be the one around?It's driving me crazy, I'm coming unwound.How can I be falling still?I've done my time; I've had my fill.This downward flight is like a battle uphill,..

Where I Come From

I come from family,from Chef Boyardee,and being outdoors.I come from the musty old wood and creaky floors.I come from the trees,the tire swing,the old blue El Camino.I come from Christmas and freckles,Uncle Knucklehead and Totino’s.I come from hay-bale-jumping,lawnmower mazes,from the Easter B..

The Never Ending Sky

Freedom rolls through me like thunder during a storm,it’s battle cry the only thing ringing in my ears.Images of the sunset,seen in the purest of light,rage in my mind and course through my imagination.My hands no longer grasp the bars of confinement,but reach for the never ending sky.Breezes ..

Betrayed

I don’t know what to say,how to speak,how to move anymore.You’ve broken something inside methat I’m not sure you can ever fix.You reached into the deepest part of meand ripped out every ounceof trust I placed in you.You read and scrutinizedevery single forbidden word written across..

Falling Leaves

I begged and I cried;I pleaded down on my knees.But the castle still crumbled in front of me.I ran from the ruins,from my family and its destruction,into the falling leaves,into the woods surrounding me.Everything seems to be collapsing,deteriorating,and all I've ever knownhas been reduced to nothin..

My Sweet Addiction

I want to breathe you in,drink you up,bring you closer,closer...You’re never close enough. I want all of you; &n..

This Complex Heart

There’s a divide in the middle of my heart,separating the things that I havefrom the things that I want.Some things straddle the barrier,caught between both of these worlds,and I wait for the daywhen they finally make the decisionto pick a side;for when they finally jump downto the world they ..

My Answer

Don't be afraid.I'm on my way.I can hear you,and I'm trying.It's so hard though.It's so dark.I don't know where you are,but I'm coming.Hold on tight.I'm here,Just stay there;Stay awake,don't go.Keep calling to me.I can't find you.Hello?I'm here,Where are you?I'm coming to save you,Tell me where you ..

The Cry For Help

I'm all aloneCrying for help.Is there anybody out there?Can anyone hear me?Please, if you can,help me.Is there anybody out there?It feels like I'm talking to myself.I'm so tired.Can' go on.Please, before I fade out forever,Can anyone hear me?Hear my plead,My cry?Save me,before it's too late.Can anyo..

Captured

You have no idea what you do to me.Or maybe you do.Maybe you know exactly what you do to me, And this is the result of that knowledge.While you play your little game,I can't help but go along.I hate the effect you have on me.When you're around,I lose all control.I bet you enjoy toying with my e..

The Breath on the Surface

You see,We all have one thing in common.Despite every little difference we have from eachother,This remains the same throughout our lives.If you really think about it,There is some truth to the saying"There are other fish in the sea."But it's when you delve deep into those wordsThat ..

Escape

I know this sounds cliche,With me being a writer and all,But there's something I need to tell you.I don't care about what you do afterwords,Because what happens, happens.I just really think you should knowHow broken I was,Before you came and fixed me back up.Made me brand new.You couldn't take damag..

Tangled

I am swimming in strings,drowning in them;strings holding me back,tying me down,preventing me from making my own mistakes.Strings tied to me,pulling me,dragging me places I don't want to go.I'm tangled up in strings knotted around my neck,Strangling me.

How I Used to Do It

I ran effortlessly;Flew through the woods,And charged up the hills.I wore a mask of boredom,But on the inside,I was soaring.Congratulations and awardsCame towards me,Making their ways in through one ear,And out the other.I did it for the run.I didn't need MORE confidence.I didn't need MORE motivatio..

To Be a Stick-Bug

Once upon a timeThere lived a ladybug.This ladybug, you see,She had a dream.A dream that wouldNever come true.She would gaze at stick-bugs,Wishing she had those long,Thin limbs.She longed for the ease in whichThey felt with their bodies.How swiftly they moved,How easily they blended in,How they woul..

12 Years

Classmates,Best friends,That's what we were.When did that change?Michelle,The stuffed dog you gave me,In kindergarten?I sleep with her,Tucked in bed next to me,Every night.It's no longer a want.It's a need.She helps me think of the easier friendshipWe had before.The simpl..

Summer Graves

Tears gather at her feetAs she buries anotherSummer's past,Along with all of it's memories,In a shaded meadow.Loved ones gone,Hidden in the groundFrom the eyes of the living,Forever enclosed in the confinesOf their coffins.The rich ground offers her a place,But she won't take it.Not yet.She counts t..

Shimmering, Glittering, Intoxicating Love

My heart slips from your hands,And my love spills all over the carpet.It shimmers in the air,And glitters on the floor.The smell intoxicates,Creating love-struck strangers,And people in awe.They watch as it flutters through the roomAnd escapes your frantic hands.It causes confusionAmong family membe..

Stop

I guess I'm almost over,Nobody can help me.I can feel it,The separation.I've become unreachable.My story is coming to an end.This strength isn't going to last forever.Will it never stop?The desperation?The pain?I can't help it.What have I become?It's too late to change.Just move forward,Just keep go..

Somebody Save Me

I want to run away,But I don't know how.Sometimes,It feels just likeI'm falling into a volcano.The heat increasesWith every excruciating inch,Until I lose myself completely while my emotionsMelt away.It doesn't matter what I seeOr think.The fire controls my every thought.Some..

My Angel Flew Away

I'm moving carefully, trying not to trigger any sort of dangerous reaction from her. Phoebe is standing on the edge of the railing that runs on both sides of the Golden Gate Bridge, and she is very unstable. If only I could just grab her, pull h..

Jar of Stars

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,Catch your light inside a jar.Through the dark you soar in flight,Wishing there was you and I.Twinkle, twinkle, little star,Catch your light inside a jar.:)

Strap Me In

He used to strap me in the swing,She'd fly so high like she had wings.And push me higher and higherHer laughter raged like wildfire.While I pumped my legs back and forth.God gave me more than I was worth.Every time I felt secureYou can't believe how much I loved her.Because I depended on the buckles..

Only You and Me, Baby

I may be a little misleading,In almost every characteristic I display,But I'm letting you know the truth right now,You're the only thing that gets me through the day.I've heard words can be deceiving,But believe me when I sayI want to be wherever you are.It wouldn't feel right any othe..

Honestly

When I see you,I melt into a puddle at my own feet.When I hear your voice,My stomach gets butterflies; my cheeks feel heat.When I talk to you,I am intimidated by all the greatness you can do.But when I look into your eyes,I can honestly say that I love you. You're so unique an..

Confused

I don't think I'm used to this,This abnormal constant neglect.The avoiding ignoring, dissing and thenThings I wish you'd regret.I really miss you,And I wish you were still mine.I really need you,But I know you're not coming back this time.I wish you knew how much I love you,Need yo..

My Mother

I wrote this right after a little maddening episode with my ... mom.

The Unknown

I am a Shadow.They call me the Unknown.I sit in agony in the darkness,Not wanting the sun to come up again.I want to hide with all the other Unknown from the Sun,Because if the Sun comes up,We'll be seen.Any one of us will be discovered,And will no longer be a part of the Unknown.W..

Not An Empty Word

"I'm sorry." I say,But you won't listen.You tell me I overuse the word,And now it has no meaning.I beg to differ.When I tell you I'm sorry,I mean it with every inch of my body,Every fiber inside me.When I tell you I'm sorry,I say it to wipe that look of despair off your face,Beca..

Finally Found You

He'd shattered my heart into a million little pieces,Broke it beyond repair.He ripped out my heart,Threw it to the ground,And took whatever he wanted.Now there's a missing piece that I will never get back.Then you come along,And I'm willing to let your try to fix me.You're worth..

As I Dream

I close my tired eyes... And I see us.Lying side by side,the feeling of sand on our backs, calves, feet.Your hand is tangled in my hair,the other laying across my stomach,holding me close,as if I'll ever leave your side.My eyes are closed,and the..

Time is All I Ask For

Would you still love me foreverIf you knew what I was capable of?Because I swear I would change for you,If I knew you would still love me forever... What if you knew I doubtedAll of your motives, and reasons?*Who are you really going to see?**What are you really going to do?*&..

We Ruined What was Once Beautiful

Who know what color snow truly is? You do know it's not actually white, right? It's made of millions of colors the normal person's eye can't see. They're blinding really. Have you ever just sat and wondered about all the beautiful things in this world that we,..

Writing a Poem

I sit here thinking, thinking, thinking.Should I write something intellectual?Or do I need a lot of emotion?Why is this so hard?Writing a po..

Strings

Every string inside you can break. There are a thousand ways to look at it; maybe the strings break, or maybe our ships sink, or maybe we're just like grass- our roots so interdependant that no one is dead as someone is still alive. We don't suffer from a shortage of metaphors. But..
