adam stevens Poems

It's an empty room now
it was once vibrant
a chorus of cheerful voices
now there's dust in the corners
...

Is there something greater than love?
Such a thing held above?
Something that is more pure?
it's so difficult to be sure
...

Clammy skin
the one within
He takes it for granted
not even seeing what you're looking at
...

are you feeling what I'm saying?
Are you hearing what I'm speaking?
Right now mu frustration is peaking.
We're shouting in a closed-off room
...

she whirled and turned away
'I could have my way any day'
she said this not with pride
and not intended to deride
...

it keeps our spirits lifted,
keeps our thoughts distracted
that there'll be a different tomorrow one
a better day
...

like a weight off my back
that's how it felt
so relieved I thought I'd melt
Worry, anxiety tripping me up
...

magic mixed with shame
and I don't know who to blame
What if it's no one's fault?
What if it's random and I've got farther to go?
...

Do you want to leave it there?
Is that what you think?
We may disagree but not dislike
that it seems too little to care
...

I want just a little more time,
I don't want to let go,
even as you wave
I can't just be brave
...
