Last Regret- Updated from 2007
there's so much pain inside my heart
and i just want it all to stop
to feel the words subsiding back
while drifting through the endless black
numbness overtaking my soul
as i feel compelled to end it all
screams rise from all around
as i fall desperately to the ground
and while i'm left alone and upset
wondering how to forgive and forget
my mistakes rise up to drown it out
and all my thoughts give way to doubt
lying there in blood and tears
reflecting on all the empty years
wishing i had a second coming
to stop my self from years of running
to correct all the wrongs and make them right
to put myself up to a harder fight

Light softly shimmers in the air surrounding your frame;
Little tufts of lighter hair flipping up around your temples.
I am in love.
Shirt billowing around your small frame,
tightly pulled into place
with the trademark belt around your waist.
Sleeves pulled up by mid-afternoon,
exposing the layers of the man from the moon--Or Pluto, rather.
I heave a sigh.
I could stare into those heavenly blue eyes for all eternity,
counting every lash until the very end of time itself.
I am in love.

Gold shimmers in the air
As gold as the ringlets falling on the porcelain face of the immortal Claudia
And as round as
How can one word
yield so much hurt?
Acid kisses on my tongue,
Burning fingers on my skin.
How can one phrase
bring tears to my eyes?
Searing down
my dirty cheeks,
killing me inside.
Cracked into pieces,
my heart still yearns
to be whole.
Jolts of pain
with every movement,
and every thought of you.
How can one word
ruin all that I am?
You've taken my heart,
now, please,
take my hand.
You'll never see
exactly what you mean to me.
Keep my feelings hidden
so I can bear the pain.
Already in pieces
before you ever held me.
Cry alone at night
so no one hears the pain.
All I hear
is a pulsing sound
ringing through my ears
All I feel
is a thick red river
that cant possibly be real
And all I see
is the way you stand
looking down over me
And I gasp
For air to breathe
Begging you not to leave
Because I just can't make it one more day alone
Out the window
She see fields upon fields.
Nothing but the sound of the wind to add
to her thoughts.
She stares, thinking, as always.
Thinking of a better time, a different place.
She leans against the cupboards,
exhausted from another full day,
almost too much to bear.
But she does.
And with nothing less than her best fake smile.
She does
everything that needs to be done
and does it with pride.
But on the inside
there's so much more.
She slowly slides down the cupboards,
now sitting on the floor.
Some days it is too much to bear.
Some days she can't help but wonder.
She takes a better grip
and she wonders.
She can't fix
Tears that fall like rain
Tears that attack my heart
Plummet to the ground
Slide along the edge
Feelings well up inside
Feelings push me to the brink
Losing all control
Curled up on the ground
Lying here alone
Lying to escape the pain
Comforted only by the ground
As I the black circles in
Here I am yet again
Full Circle once again
Ending as it always does
I plummet to the ground
theres so much pain inside my heart
and i just want it all to stop

numbness overtaking my soul
as i feel compelled to end it all
screams rise from all around
as i fall desperately to the ground
and while im left there sad and alone
i realize now i could've won
but all the mistakes drown it out
drown out all the now with-held shouts
lying there in blood and tears
reflecting on all the empty years

Broken Soul-
by Jesse L Mitchell
Drifting through the endless streets,
Empty houses pass around me.
Breaking into a cool sweat,
If only to break free of the Shell.
Drifting into that state of mind,
Pain meandering through it all,
Stabbing into every thought,
Finally the numbness overtakes me.
Black, simply black forming,
Swallowing everything, everyone,
Will I ever return from the abyss?
Am I ever to escape the Shell?
Black, then suddenly a voice calls.
A hand, reaching forward, reaching,
Without thinking, I take hold.
Strangely, there is no fear to be found.
He calls upon me, to me,
Courage emits from within my bones.
Words to leave by.
the sound of beating rain upon my beating heart
destined to fail, always to fall apart
and yet here I am, unweathered by the storm
still im broken by every word of scorn
the feel of emptiness, within my empty soul
left wordless, by my strange lack of control
and yet here I am, trying to survive
still everyone know im just barely alive
your endless love, shown by the endless ring
destined to wear it, forever on my hand
and yet here I am, trying to push you away
still everyone knows I just want you to stay

HATE
how can one word be so cold
like standing alone in the rain
like teardrops on my forehead
on my face
i am alone
alone, listening to the sounds
the resonating silence
never ceasing
but constantly mocking my emptiness
echoing back the pain
an endless reminder that i am alone
taunting me with escape, with shelter
with warmth
i stretch my fingers out
long and lean
reaching, muscles taut
but no
just like that its gone
just within my grasp its taken away
and once again i am left empty and alone
with nothing but hate
like standing in the rain
without a coat
just freezing and afraid
and always empty
you are a raindrop
large and round
attacking my forehead
you are that emotionally depleting raindrop
i only thought existed in my head
in my dreams
but i have the power to change you
to transform you
into that annoying pinprick
into sunday morning raindrops
all it takes is one flick of the switch
one blowdryer
set on high
and
WHAM!!!
you have evaporated....
how does it feel??
time heals all wounds...
right?
falling past the embers
slipping through the past
longing for stability
i feel your strong, tight grasp
you never want to lose me
i hear it in your voice
shaking with each heavy breathe
tell me, is this the right choice?
here i try to push you away
scared of holding on
afraid of being hurt again
afraid of letting you down
yet here i am once again
still clinging to your side
because happiness after all
is what i feel inside
Teardrops
through all that surrounds me
at first there was laughter
at first there was joy
now only sadness surrounds me
i thought all the pain had gone
i had thought it was over it all
but new events make the wound reopen
and i am left to suffer alone
left alone with only my teardrops
the only comfort i have found
a gateway to my inner horror
and as the wounds continue to widen
as my heart continues to sadden
i scream for away to make it stop
i reach for a solution to the pain
shiny objects at my fingertips
sharp blades to fight this disastor
and as i try to find a way out
i am left motionless on the floor
bathed in puddl
everything i was once held dear is broken
everyone i once held close, now stolen
and here i lie on the floor
tears run colder than before
i question why i'm even here at all
as the words come stumbling out
i tell you quick to shut your mouth
because i just dont want to hear the reasons anymore
i just dont care anymore
i cant care anymore
so leave me here, more broken then before
but leave me here, with dignity and valor
for i put up a brilliant fight
though i lost my heart at first light
but i never will forget a second of it all
because i loved you

What a Tryst: Chapter 1
Chapter 1
It wasn’t the stale smell of fallen leaves that filled the air--it was the scent of change. I took in a deep breath before I started to walk again. It surprised me how cold it had gotten in the past two weeks. Weather changed quite fast in October--especially here in Boston.
My nerves weren’t helping either with the cold. Stress always made the cold worse for me. So much was on my mind, and the thought of moving into a new place felt overwhelming. I’d be going to a new school and living with new people; I hadn’t had much time to plan for that.
The wind kicked up another patc
We look at each other through the fence;
Our only desire to climb to the other side.
We cant, though, and instead just smile.
Days go by, and nights, too,
but never do we leave that fence.
I've been getting back to writing lately. I posted an updated version of an old poem recently. I hope to post a few more in the days to come. Life is rough, as usual, and I'm hoping getting back into writing will help vent that a little bit. PS Does anyone still come on here???
So... I haven't really written much lately, but that's going to change (hopefully). Today I posted something random, and I'm also working on a bit of prose that will hopefully be up soon. And I guess that's that.
And I'm thinking of *maybe* posting some of my drawings. I never have before because poetry is what I'm stronger in. However, I figure, why the heck not? I like to draw silly things, so I guess we'll see what happens.
Any requests? I'll *try* my best to complete them =]
It's been like forever since I posted any poems here. I guess I've just been much too busy with school. I prolly won't get to updating until the summer, though if I get a lull in work before then (possibly april break), then you can expect you see some new stuff. I am also thinking about sharing some drawings. I can't draw much but I guess I might as well share what I can do. The con logo came out better than hoped, so who knows where I will go in the future.
