American Never underestimate the power of a writer. / / I have loved, and I have hurt. May these poems reflect the stages of my life as I move forward.
The silence is deafening And so painful are the memories. So damaged was I in love The rose colored glasses masked our unpleasantries. You have scarred me And the nights promise pain. You made me feel less than enough. This shadow lurks silently as it preys on my sane. I have become stronger now, yes I have become wiser indeed. The only trouble I face now Is finding someone who gives me what I need.

I wake with the hope of hearing you I wait with impatience moment by moment Lost I feel when we don't converse A day with you is every second worth it. How much I've grown from before To know these emotions once again I know this isn't perfect But in my heart I cannot pretend I am driven to hold tight To every little thing we create But the emotions I hold inside Are much stronger than I could anticipate Friends laugh and tease as they wish Transparent am I for they can see I cannot lie to them now That I want it to be you with me I know that this may be a bit sudden Upon the things we have said not to do But I can't help but whisper ever so silently "I love you."

Cold air remains where warm air once stayed. I prefer your true, cold heart than your lying warm passions. Within myself, I curl closer; within my heart, I plead silently. He can provide more for me where you never did. Wither to dust in this truth, for you are nothing. See that you were never a good man. So stop with your lies, your petty games. I don't cry for you. I cry for myself. Only this man catches me when I fall And dries away my salty tears. You are expendable and he just took your place. Bloodshed never seemed so sweet. The cold spot is now warm again. Now I can breathe once more; in his arms I shall remain. He shall keep me safe. He shall obliterate your toxic waste. I shall grow once more. I shall be once again the queen.

Look into my eyes What is it that you see? Do you see inside the pain within? Can you hear my screams of loneliness Crying for your soul as I claw at my mind? The darkness inside, can't you notice How it swallows me whole Only to consume what little strength I have? I'm crippling, I'm fading, I'm nothing. Perhaps you do not see these pleas. You only see my plastered smile And hear my cheery, soft voice. "Everything is great," I lied. "I'm dying on the inside, help me." I hide.

Behind these eyes
Distant have I been Even to those who know me best. Life has thrown its curve ***** Pain and suffering through each test. A standstill is where I am Do I go left, do I go right? My mind does not know. My heart quivers in fright. Changed have I become. Layers have been removed plenty The masks of my face still lie about. All this happened before the year of twenty.

Standstill
Like a snake, you enter my thoughts. You are cunning, You are venomous, You are deceitful. Your eyes are black with hate. Your smile is all but promising. What is it that you want? What sick favor do you ask of me? Do you think me stupid? I was once struck by your flair, Your true self cleverly hidden. I was foolish To trust such a serpent. I was foolish To believe that you cared. Yet I know the truth. **You never cared, You never bothered, You never did feel a thing.** Empty is your soul And dark as night is your heart. The little I have known you I have put up with much. I was there with you For all laughs, All fun, All sadness, All struggles. How do you repay me? **Lies. Betrayal. Games.** You wanted me Out of your life for good. You get whatever You wish for. That's how you play Your foolish, selfish game. *Think you're the only person here That can play hardball?* I am not sweet. I am not gentle. And this time, I may not be so forgiving. *You didn't tear me down. You built me up, You made me stronger than ever.* A flaw in your design That you cannot fix. So into your cold eyes I glare right back. I am not scared of you. I am not intimidated by you. I am better than you. I am stronger than you. Do not judge my gender, **For I am more of the man You will ever be.** I ban you from my sanctuary! Leave my conscious! Or succumb to your darkest demise. *Crack! Snap! Whack!*

An Innocent's Wrath
I was foolish To believe you I was foolish To befriend you You played me Emotions and lust You betrayed me With lies alone I had cared With honest reason You didn't see You didn't care I was angered I was hurt My temper released Why to me A good "friend" Did I deserve This cruel stabbing You laughed and Said **** you" "Gladly, good riddance" I seethed back Aching through strength Suffering through dreams That was then This is now I am stronger I am better You will regret That one day You lost me Maybe not today Maybe not tomorrow But one day You will soon Remember that I Was the one Who stuck around Because I truly Deeply, sincerely, cared When that happens I won't hesitate To show you That I am Better than you

Regret
I am spellbound under you. I cannot explain what it is that you have done. Do you know what you started? Do you know the spell you have cast? You knew that I fancied you, And you have worked some unknown magic To make me bound to you. I cannot pry myself from the thoughts you have awaken in me, Nor can I patiently wait to see your face. I am lusting after you, That much is true. But there is more than just human desire. There are things about you that I admire And truly find exhilarating and interesting. When I am in your presence, I feel light and airy. I finally feel the truth of attraction. Do not let this steer you away, For I am always dramatic in this setting. Things may be rushing too fast, that I know, However I cannot help but feel happy and free. I like you. You like me. With you, while under your spell I feel like a new woman with new desire. You have awakened a different side of me, One I thought that would never be released. This rebellion that roars loud like a lion. Do you know the spell you have cast? Do you now know what you have started?

Under Your Spell
*I know this wasn't a wise choice. But I had to do something, And release the truth from my voice. No matter what trouble it would bring. Night after night, I dreamed. Trouble, confusion, lust. Each one was harder than it seemed. But I had to do what I must. A spark was ignited first, And I know not how or why. Ridiculous, I thought with a curse. Yet, the truth came slick as a lie. I did not want to face this. My ties were already bound. But even I saw what was amiss. That was when he shook the ground. Hiding myself away, as did before, I couldn't just let go. Consequently my emotions craved more. A plan in mind that I didn't know. When I told you, I thought myself foolish. He doesn't see the same as you. But our plans, it was a game I had wished. However, you thought the same too. I do not know your mind. But I know that now it cannot be made. Your words I believe true, even if hard to find. I still expect that promise you told me, to be paid.*

The Truth
A flower only grows When love is there It can stretch its long stem High into the sky Soft, beautiful petals Are then bright, warm and reach out That flower is now wilting Magnificent petals curl and dry Its stem, its backbone bends in sadness A flower can only grow When love is there But for this night and more Love will not be there
