Yesterday isn't gone. I hear it when a door slams shut.
POEM| Yesterday isn’t Gone
POEM| Unrequited Love
Now, here's a truth I hate to admit I've been in the passenger seat
POEM| I Thought I Knew You
I thought I knew you but your words became insulting your behaviour became confusing your demeanor became controlling
POEM| I Know About Suffering
I know about suffering because I’ve been there It comes with a lot of tears and sleepless nights
POEM| Seven Hundred & Eight Days
It’s been seven hundred and eight days
since I last heard from you
I wonder if you’re okay every day
and I still see you in my dreams
POEM| A Better Place
Whenever I was told
you left this world
for a better place
I never believed
POEM| Are You Happy Now?
Are you happy now
That we’re barely speaking
And walking on eggshells around each other
Is it better now
That I don’t know how you’re doing
POEM| Out of My Control
My head is spinning
and I can’t control it
Looking for my voice
but I can’t seem to find it
POEM| A Minute With You Again
Many nights I've prayed
for a minute
with you again
POEM| The Scars Of Loss
The scars of loss
have left me a mess
I’m dreaming while awake
and hurting every step of the way
POEM| You Don’t Get To Choose
I don’t have to answer your calls
I don’t have to reply to your messages
I don’t have to tell you how my day went
I don’t have to answer the door when you come by
POEM| I Don’t Want To Lose You
I feel you in my belly
but I’m trying to act normal
my entire body is changing
and it’s all because of you
