DESCRIPTION
Broken hearts... Seems to be what's most written about. Found this last night. Written 01/28/96 after a heartbreaking fight at 6am in the morning. I watched my first true love sit in his car and cry and then drive away. He moved out shortly thereafter. The style's a bit choppy, but I'm leaving it alone. [140 words]
ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
Haven't written in awhile, using this to express feelings and emotions on... hold. And for spur of the moments thoughts too. Note: Most of my writing is metaphorical! [November 2004]

Anyway- this one probably needs more work too, but ah well~ I'm mad and had to write it out... suggestions welcome.

[34 words] [Erotic] Detroit Begging (Poetry) Ok - I was pretty annoyed this morning that I was asked for some change by this panhandler who would not give up.

I cannot stay in the dark- eternal damnation is just not my thing. [98 words] For The Devil (Poetry) - [118 words] Furious (Poetry) Still so angry at an ex-boyfriend that turned psycho stalker on me.

(And maybe Wade too, since he supplied most of our drinks!) For our night of craziness at 5th Avenue and Sevin involving kissing girls (not by me!), getting kicked off of the sta...

[195 words] Run Away (Poetry) I'm restless and have this insane need to get away from everyone and everything... maybe I just need a vacation? Anyway, I was just trying to write it out of my system. [87 words] Spoon (Poetry) This poem is for Jonathan- as requested (demanded?! J/K). My promise has been kept.

[45 words] [Erotic] Stolen Kiss (Poetry) Thinking about this and reliving a nice, stolen moment... [214 words] Submerge (Poetry) Started in October 2003 and decided to work on it again.

[37 words] Suffocated (Poetry) Writing things out as usual... [72 words] [Relationships] Tease (Poetry) I was recently told that I'm a tease- I guess I kind of am because I've stayed single and abstinent for over a year now.

Jonathan, this is for you. Don't forget to leave your door unlocked. Welcome because you always say I am. Welcome because you won't accept my thanks. [98 words] [Erotic]
Window Tessa
I looked outside and saw you
Sitting in your car
As I gazed outside the window
Tears came to my eyes
As I realized
That you are not in my world
That I was looking at you
Outside
Has it gone that far
That we are not even in the same reality
I in mine
You in yours
Could it really once have been
When I thought you were once my closest
When I felt no hatred and no hostility
Only now I see you hate me
I think that you’re just looking for an excuse
To try to make me what you want
Someone you weren’t in love with
Someone you don’t care about
Someone you want out of your life
Tears flow freely
As I cry for the truth
That we are both heartbroken
That we are both hurt
That we could go on with our lives
Apart
As I look outside the window
The window of my world
I saw you drive away

"Once again, the metaphorical writing comes to life! Not my favorite work from you Tessa, but the reference to the window and your relationship is very good and fits perfectly!" -- Reagan Rothe, H-Town.
"I wish I could sing, this would be a great lyric because of the rythm and concise style. Perhaps you could work on the rythm a little more and improve things like the second stanza- verses 3 and 4 are bit redundant. " -- Jorge Freire.
"I like this a lot Tessa!!!! Hey check out my "I cried last night"...seems we are having similar moods." -- Michelle.
"Reagan- Thanks for reading this, I know, not all that great, but ah, well... Felt like posting it anyhow... Jorge- Any suggestions? I'm in a bit of a slump right now, in the middle of about 10 poems that I can't seem to finish... Michelle- Read yours and yes, we were both reminiscing a bit, huh?" -- Tessa.
