The Cupcake Poem

hello my sweet
might I entreat
as to the flavor you are

a single bite
fills me with fright
for I have come too far

I'm not allowed to 
sit here beside you
and take even slight of a crumb

my chocolate delight
I crave in the night
forbidden which turns me numb

my cupcake, glorious treat
how can i beat
this terrible curse

all that I crave
sends me to a rage
and makes me mentally worse

your all that i need
the source of my greed
I want you to my own

shame brought on me
as people will see
my cravings left alone

Fear

I'm not afraid to die
I'm not afraid to leave this world
My fear does not reside here
For it appears to not exist

My worries have left 
This god forsaken life
For one day I will leave
With the world to Morn

The thoughts and ideas left behind
Poetry which was my life
Relationships which obviously 
Ended with a bad story and a price to pay

I'm not afraid of death
Lying in this bed
So cold I can see my breath
Yet still cannot feel my heart

I do proclaim that I do not feel,
The ability too has escaped from my hand
I have no control of it
And believe I never will

I'm not afraid to leave this world
For ill go to another life
Or be left in a state of limbo
To where ill find a way to adjust

Death is a natural thing 
Yet most fear it
I believe the ability to start over
Is a great gift why deny it

Most people have never seen death 
Nor have they experienced it and come back
So how do we know which is better
This life or could it be the after

Remember me as I was younger
For the things I've done since 
Are but a mistake
Remember me as Steven G.

The little boy to which 
Could but help to ask his mind
The child to which had endured
All the bad examples of his mother

The son to which when his father 
Had a rough time he could come to his son
That is how you should remember him as 
Then

Not as this creature 
Which you see before you

Not this hormonally driven teenager
This self centered person 
A young adult who does as he wishes
And doesn't even think of the to come

Death is not my worry
The quicker it comes
The quicker I leave
When I leave I wish to be remembered

Just don't forget
The hopeless romantic
The eager to help child
The poorly treated son of a mad woman

Remember 
The Psychiatrist of his father
The child who helped raise his brothers
And most of all you can never forget

The child to which was a child 
The child that never existed
For he grew up too fast 
He has already died

The Artist Within

passion from the fingers
caring in the bones
stimulate the muscles
revitalize them all

roam around free
your canvas is endless
paint the sky another
for all the world to see

show passion in your work
and work in your emotion
eternity is your limits
to make the world amazed

set awestruck are the norm
for the mind roams free
and non of them understand
the artists true dreams

feel the passion in it
every stroke, every line
the contour and context
the brush and paint

they each are an emotion
each stroke is anger
each stroke is passion
and understanding

watch the turns 
spins and strokes
watch how the paint 
sets your soul ablaze

understand the artist
feel his emotion
the tears and the laughter
the blood and the pain

mortal tools cant contain
the pain of an artist
the torture and anguish
the fears and sorrows

paint me a sky
of another day 
a day non existent 
a day of another morn

wander your mind
and roam ever free
allow the artist out
to express the world

Midnight Massacre(Adaptation of Poe's the Raven )

As i lay my head to sleep
I hear a sound, a scratch, a creep
A fall outside my bedroom door
Then silence, the sound exists no more
Again i hear a steady caw
A crow, as though, to something saw
Awake was i, for as i sit
Asleep in thought, my throat was slit

My Love

That face
Inspiring Ambitious face
Masterpiece Inspiring Ambitious Autographed face

Her body
Sinful Inviting body
Deviously Sinful Complicated Inviting body

Those lips 
Velvet Cotton lips 
Cherry Velvet Red Cotton lips

Your touch 
Gentle Entrancing touch
Inquiringly Gentle Sinfully Entrancing touch

The eyes 
Darkened Enigmatic eyes
Lustfully Darkened Puzzling Enigmatic eyes

My love
First Last love
Very First Eternally last love

What About Me

Lying here, do YOU know how much it hurts? Listening to YOU tell me YOU don’t care; to
watch YOU lead YOUR life with whomever YOU choose. Do YOU know what that does to me? i
can’t take it! i must not stand for it; do i have a choice? If only YOU knew how much YOU
hurt me..... Wait! YOU do. Yet YOU still don’t care. 

My life is rock bottom. i feel the bedrock embedded in me. i pull gravel from my soul
every moment, and i feel the earth in my stomach. 

Live YOUR life! YOU think i don’t watch anymore; i do. YOU think i couldn’t possibly care;
I’m here. YOU never visit, and YOU never so much as bat an eye at me. YOU make it seem my
fault, as if this is what i wanted. YOU drive around and do as YOU please; don’t care for
me really. Just continue on. Don’t give me a second thought.

Go ahead and break the soil.

Unsure

I'm not afraid to love you 
I'm not afraid to lose
It makes me hurt down deep inside
asking you to choose

I cannot be the other man
I cannot be your fling
I go insane just sitting back
You treat me like a thing

You tell me that you love me
That I'm just what you need
yet every time i turn around
My heart it starts to bleed

To them you seem unfaithful
to me your just a tease
i see things not like others
to them it looks like sleeze 

yet i know that you care
i look the other way
when flirting joking teasing
is all you do all day

in public you keep your distance
on them you seem to be
yet behind closed doors, alone just us
with me, you say, you want to be

The Eternal Cheater

Tell me you love me when your afraid to lose me.
Tell me what you think i want to hear
just to keep me from leaving.

Lie to me when you leave to his house at night
Lie about whom you were with
just to keep me from finding the truth

Love me physically just to shut me up
Love me so that I stop fighting
and no more question come for now

Lye with me so i feel you care
Lye with me to show that you seem
to really want to be here

Leave like you always have to
Leave to his house yet again
just like you always do

Call me to make sure im at home
Call to make sure im not out with anyone
while your in another mans bed

Fight with me about That girl that walked by
Fight with me because you feel guilty
about what it is you are doing

Blame me for everything that has happend
Blame me for why you ran to another man
its just good loving.

Shatter all the plans we had together
shatter all the chances i have given you
and all the times i have looked aside

Tell me how sorry you are
Tell me how you messed up
and that you will never do it again.

Watch me get emotional
Watch me say I forgive you
and take you back again.

Watch me Die inside knowing
Watching me crushed and destroyed
means nothing to you.

My Favorite Scar

Leave me
my own
my sorrows
my marks

I tear.
myself apart,
With all of this

These scars.
Are reminders,
Of my past actions 

Each cut.
Another story,
Each story another emotion

Still today.
SHE’S it, 
The only visible mark

The rest.
Have healed,
But she still resides

The heart.
SHE broke,
The day SHE left

The future.
SHE destroyed,
The world SHE demolished

The emotion.
SHE killed,
The memories SHE left

That's it.
Only memories,
They’re left nothing more

my scars.
Have healed, 
Over time and disappeared


This one.
Is eternal,
Forever there reminding me

SHE was.
Has been,
And always will be

MY life
MY world
MY only
MY love

Immoral Mortality

A soul to which i treasure, has left
A feeling i was accustomed, no more
The joy he brought, never felt again
A man who took the power of god, dead

He chose to end it, forever
Couldn't take it, never
Felt alone, hopeless
With nobody left, denial

Thought not of the children, therapy
Or of the people it affected, sorrow
Everything he had worked for, gone
All his life was for nothing, pointless

He took his own life, harsh
So he would feel no pain, mistake
He thought it would all end, wrong
With his death came eternity, hell

But when he hung himself, stupid
He took a part of me, thief
My soul was hung up their, selfish
And our souls went to hell, tortured
