    Andrew James Wells

    Andrew James Wells, born on 11th September 1975, is an English author originally from the small village of Yarm and now residing in Stockton.Andrew started writing when he was fifteen years of age where he started writing poetry based on life experiences and issues he felt strongly about, these can be seen in his poetry book ‘Past Visions’.Since writing, what is known now as, Past Visions in 1991, Andrew took a huge break before starting again in 2012 with a new writing method and a more mature outlook to his work. Again this poetry was based on his own experiences and issues he felt strongly about, starting with the eBook ‘Shattered Glass Mind’.Andrew has always had a passion of how words, especially accompanied by music, could create a mood, a feeling and a range of emotions, and in some circumstances create a connection between the writer and the reader. Andrew put this into practice with his recent writing, the ability to connect with others and write about issues that affect us all.Andrew is currently working on short stories.

      AGAIN?

      If you've ever been hurt

      It takes time to love again

      You feel as you've died

      Your hearts been strangled

      With the veins that surround

      A day of suicide inside

      Sunshine could be round the corner

      But as you turn the rainclouds follow

      You feel as you will never recover

      Until the sun shines down on you, again.

      ALONE

      Do you feel alone sometimes?

      Feel as you’re separated from everyone

      You need to find someone to share

      All your thoughts and dreams

      But when you were together

      And then you get burnt

      You put up your defences

      And close up your heart

      You never seem to recover

      But someday you will find a new love

      But when does that love come?

      A TEST?

      Someone is testing me,

      to see how strong I am

      taking away from me the ones I love

      unable to replace them

      Some call it god; I call it an illusion in time

      I ask myself sometimes, if I’m next in the line

      The world is see is decaying in front of me

      A chance of life will soon not be.

      AWAY

      Trust and friendship are something I treasure

      If I receive it, I always give more in return

      To be surrounded by people that care for me

      From day to day that’s all I will ever need

      Someone to tell my secrets and regrets

      And to listen to them when they're in need

      I will never turn my back upon them

      If they ever need me I am always around

      The sound of laughter and cheers I crave

      Just to see everyone with a happy smile

      Images I see I will take to my grave

      Always close never a million miles (Away)

      BACK TO WORDS

      Your
