Ashleigh Gaffney Poems

A true friend never walks away
A true friend will always stay
A true friend looks out for you
...

As we walk out path of life,
We meet people everyday.
Most are simply met by chance,
But some are sent out way.
...

the cut
the tighten fist
the anger at one
the need to yell
...

Don't try and save me
I just want you to see
Alone in this fight
Struggle as I might
...

All those times I cried for you,
You never came
Out of all the sports I played
You never showed up at one game
...

Who's that girl there I see?
She's looking back at me.
I see she's not happy but
Don't know why, who is she?
...

I don’t need help
I don’t cry for help
I don’t cry for attention
I don’t cry at all
...

Harsh words and violent blows
Hidden secrets nobody knows
Eyes are open, hands are fisted
Deep inside I'm warped and twisted
...

I just write,
When I want to.
When I feel the need.
Word by word, I proceed.
...

Sometimes in life
You find a special friend
Someone who changes your life
Just by being part of it
...
