Mexican Born and Raised in California, My Poems come straight out of my journals, you can't get more personal than that.
Here I am, again I know this place well Because I never get to leave for long I'm here alone just like every time before We caught each other in a weak spot I thought you'd fallen in my lap Like a gift Like a blessing But I forgot about the curse Meant to walk alone Dream alone Be alone All on my own Here I am again But I'm not empty I'm full of regret, the regret you get when you throw your heart around I help break my own heart they never do it alone The help never ceases to amaze If you need me, you'll know where to look The lost The broken The unavailable They find me

I won’t keep lying to myself just to lie to everyone else I always had doubts but my actions are all I had to lay out to see the truth It was all right there just like times before I’m never the last to know I just don’t know myself that well I’ve never been in front of the mirror when you come over to greet me so I never saw how bright my smile got I didn’t know that when I got you naked it was only to get you as close to me as possible I didn’t know when I txt you with nothing to say it was just to put me in your mind that day turns out I don’t know **** All I got from this was a memorization of the shape of your jaw traced it with my finger just yesterday the corners of your mouth there’s no straight lines in this crocked romance I trace the lines of you in my head I pretend my hands are yours You’re everywhere and no where California is our home but you've been south for the winter since I realized the truth about the hold you’ve got on my heart that started with a hand full of blouse Take me some where else so we can be alone Take me before I lie to myself again State lines don’t split us apart but your decisions do California is our home..

Lines and Lies
Certain I’ve never thought this thought before almost shocked myself till I realized it ‘s a good thing I hope I’ve missed my chance with you because I’m tired of being in this alone You never say the right thing You never think of me unless you’re lonely I hope I missed my chance so I can’t come back and share more of myself I always try to fill your ears with all the words you want to hear And all you do is fill your hands with me It’s never been enough so why do I hold on to you? I hope I missed my chance Get lonely somewhere else because I’m trying to forget you my favorite rain cloud never even around long enough to get me wet It’s never been enough So why do I hold on to you? Fill my heart not just your hands

Fill my Heart not just your Hands
I remember back then when you’d pull me close hip to hip Your body was mine but your heart was somewhere else When I thought Love was pouring all over me But when I’d wake up you’d be ready to go I’d slid over to take the warm spot you left behind You’ve had too much practice with us girls I try and tell my friends it could have been any of you But am I the only one who fell for it? I hear you’re all the same but I’ve never met a boy like you Feeling sorry for my foolishness when I miss you The worst part is I still wonder how I could have kept you You’ve had too much practice with us girls I try not to bring you up so no one knows you’ve still got me But some things you just can not hide Will you ever play for keeps? I take all the time you have to give I never know when it could be the last time

Practice makes Perfect
You told me that some people want to be used that must be something a guilty conscience tells itself I wish I could have said something to you just then but I lost my courage and sank back in to my mind to find something you’d like to hear I think we both know that I have a soft spot for you We also know that you’ll never give me anything but your spare time With both these pieces of knowledge between us why do I still bother? Even when my friends all deemed you strange and awkward I never let there words change the ones I’d say to you I’m writing about you now but I hope it won’t be for always You ask me what’s on my mind when we hit a patch of silence well if you read this I could answer that question for you... but I wouldn’t imagine telling you the truth maybe you were talking about me Because time after time here I am

Here I am
If you and I have no business here then.. Tell me something so **** that it’s just across the way from sweet You’re a self proclaimed ******* But your eyes always apologize for what your mouth has to spout Maybe it’s the way you look for me Maybe it’s the way you open up when I’m the only one listening If you and I have no where to go but down then.. Tell me something so honest that it’s just down the street from endearing You’re a self proclaimed ******* But when I ask you where you’ve been you reply waiting for you Maybe it’s the way you make me feel good enough to cheer you up Maybe it’s the way you correct me with a smile almost every time If you and I have no future then I’ll give you every part of the present

If You and I
I can’t wait to meet my next heartbreak He’ll have everything I never knew I wanted I can’t wait to see the face that will turn me back into a fool I can’t wait to see how many smiles I’ll waste on him I can’t wait to see what outfits I’ll buy just for him He’ll have everything I never knew I wanted I can’t wait to hug him like I’ll never let him go I can’t wait to hang on his every word like they were a life raft I can’t wait to see the eyes that take me over He’ll have everything I never knew I wanted I can’t wait to meet my next heartbreak

A mouth full of gasoline + a match stick for a heart, she whispers to him nice and low set me on fire She’s willing to stare disaster in it’s Eager eyes. She wouldn’t dream of running before her Time with him is Up. With his Arms like Alcohol, she can’t help but feel Altered when they are around her. With his Body like running Water, she’s as good as Drown. With his Smile like Oxygen, she’s not Gasping for Air just yet. With his face like a love song, too bad she’s never been know to carry a tune. With a matchstick between her lips + her heart of gasoline she waits for her moment to set him on fire.

Matchsticks+Gasoline
I hear the words leave the mouth I thought I knew so well The confession you place on me has an instant effect My vision starts to close in around the sides to a pin point size view it makes everything around us look like blurs of light Your voice begins to sound almost miles away, and I could care less to hear the rest It Feels as if my rib cage just cracked into two perfect almost identical pieces My lungs lose the room they use to have and leave me only shallow breathes to take Shock and Pain come that I hope is powerful enough to teach me a lesson I shift my eyes down to see the damage To my surprise my chest looks to be in one piece, my hand raises slowly to touch where the split should be It shakes all the way to where my heart use to beat on the left side below my collar bone I can’t feel any movement and for a moment I feel relief to the thought of being alive with out a heart nothing to get in the way any more Your timing seemed so perfect the devil must’ve nudged you when to divulge this secret It seems it didn’t hurt you to carry it It won’t do me the same kindness

Fractured
I thougth you’d give me the chance to write of Love The kind to brake the habbits that kept the others at bay I beileve you are someone who could make my rosy thoughts a reality But you won’t be doing this for me Was I just something to be soaked up To bring you up and make you laugh You can’t understand the way your eyes led me on I swear I saw it in the way you looked at me It was like the foot between us was too much to bear I swore I could feel you holding back You told me once that we all need affection But what else do you need? I thougth you’d give me the chance to write of Love The kind that would make others jealous The kind that would make me blush from the inside out
