Poems

“Nevermore”

I cry myself to sleep

Sinisterly you chuckle while I weep

Well nevermore, nevermore

Against the wall my head you bash

So daily I obtain a new gash

Well nevermore, nevermore

It’s only me who you beat

So to the snow covered substance I retreat

Well, nevermore, nevermore

Now your fate is destined to the end of my blade

Nevermore my nightmares you will raid

But the price is me imprisoned forever more forever more

“Can you hear”

Can you hear my heart

Beating softer every day that we’re apart

Can you hear my scream

Cause every night you die in a dream

Can you hear me cry

Because every night I drain my body dry

Well can you…?

“You Are”

Like honey you are sweet

You’re considered a treat

You got all girls beat

You are so funny

Cute as a bunny

With you I’m rich so I don’t need money

“Abortion”

You don’t even know his name

But still you kill him like game

Even though he’s tame

You put him to shame

He is your son

But you say what’s done is done

But you may well have shot him with a gun

“Afraid to love”

The feeling alone drives you insane

But when it’s over you do gain

You gain a whole new level of pain

So yes I am afraid

Because I am who love will degrade

In love you cannot trade

So love is really that scary

I just want to remove it from my vocabulary

But on the contrary

Love is spontaneous it may vary

“What’s wrong”

You ask me what’s wrong

I say it’s like a love song

I can’t just move along

It’s her that I miss

That medusa style kiss

Without her my life is in a an eternal abyss

That profound beauty

Which I have no immunity

To my life she provided positivity

Looking in her eyes

Time flies

Easily making my heartbeat rise

This is why I’m sad

But also why I’m mad

Because it’s not what I have it’s what I had

“Baby”

Me and my love

Thought our love wasn’t average but above

So then we had sex using no glove

Few weeks later her belly starts to grow

But that goes to show

She should’ve said no

Now I notice it burns when I pee

So I get tested, and I’m also positive for HIV

But it doesn’t only affect me

Because now the HIV has gone to the baby.

“Not an Object”

She is not an object

Something that you can subject

Doing this is something you will regret

She is supposed to be like a tree

So boundlessly free

And one day I hope she’ll branch out to me

“You are”

You are a star

That’s just who you are

So bright I only can glance from afar

It wouldn’t be right to call you just pretty

So if you be with me

I will put you on a pedestal for everyone to see

“Me and You”

I don’t know why

But when we say bye

I always want to cry

But when you come near

My heart gives a cheer

And through this long relationship we both will steer

So don’t fret my boo

I will always love you

And remember we are one not two

"Love"

Roses are red, Violets are blue

My whole life changed, since I met you

Since that day you've been stuck in my mind like glue

I need you because love takes 2

I think its a sign from up above

You fit like a glove

I picture you as my turtle dove

Oh my God I think I’m in love
