| No Longer By: Katie O'Brien Life gradually has come back to me, My thoughts have become clearer, And I no longer have to pretend I'm fine. I've realized with disappointment comes the good, That behind lies there is a truth, And that I no longer have to hide. I no longer have to say that one day I'll be okay... That day, has come. I no longer have to wait for the pain to leave... My wait is over. Life continues with the harsh moments, But the key is, that it continues, And as I continue with it, I no longer am the same me. |
| HIM By: Katie O'Brien My heart sighs... Another memory dies. Confusion engulfs me As I sit here in the dark. Death seems to want me, I just can't do it though. HE talks to me saying "Don't do it." I listen and don't. I call out asking HIM to soften my heart, I don't hear HIS answer. Love is hard to give and harder to receive. At least it is for me. I need my answer now... I need to be filled by YOU. **This is an extremely old poem that I wanted to post.** |
| Lovers' Fate Apparent night reflecting abyssmal light. Searches longingly for its mate. Ever defying through its flight The yellow dances sparkling fate. Over and over the lovers turn Lengthening fingertip distance. The closer they come the more they spurn Continuing eternal resistance. Lady Lover glows as he nears, But the world comes between them. Consuming her with fears Of the warmth taken with him. Around and around they must go With their horizon dance Never stopping we all know The lovers don't stand a chance His bright days are forever, Her dark nights barely glimmer. Seeing his smile never Though she sees his distant shimmer. |
