I’m Cole,

I’m just your typical gay writer looking for what I have lost in the world.

I’m letting life kick my ass and making myself get back up so I can keep moving forward.

I let my life bleed out through my short stories and poetry.

~ Cole Buckley

Time

That’s the funny thing about time,
It makes us come to understand that the stranger dancing with fallen angels has always been ourselves.
The stranger that was blinded by the torment,
The stranger that made us lose all hope of love.

Sirens, Love, and Bullshit

I was shattered, everything torn from me like a new toy getting pulled away from a child because they did something wrong. Was I that child getting that toy taken away? What did I do wrong? Is it fixable? More questions I couldn’t answer.

Cold, Dark Room

There is this cold, dark room.
Inside that cold, dark room is a window.
A window that only looks out into the distance of nothingness.
Outside that window, is nothing but a gloomy emptiness and all you can hear is the heavy pitter patter of the rain,
Violently hitting against the glass.

Passionate…
Showing that vulnerability.

Defeating Demons

I was young, gullible…
I fell into the trap love can have, 
Not knowing the damages that lie ahead of me.
Those damages led to so much pain;
Mentally, physically, & emotionally.

Fool Me Once Shame On Me…

Because now that I have found purpose in this life,
More than just my blood on a knife.
Now I can finally say,
That these scars will fade and fade away.
Fool me once shame me once shame on me,
But fool me twice and now I know it was never meant to be.
