Bethany Maxwell Poems

Heartbreak; so much pain, so much sorrow.
Heartbreak; how could you do this to me?
Heartbreak; it fills my mind it kills my soul.
Heartbreak; when will my suffering end?
...

Losing grip she holds to life,
She tells herself she won't let go,
Yet here she sits holding the knife,
Moving it ever so slow.
...

Dead end job,
Go nowhere pay check,
Long hour shift,
Under pressure of thumb,
...

Clockmaker's mistake
Added consciousness to the tick
Will to search
Find the hand that winds,
...

This nation is red,
Contrasted against blue sky,
White, blood stained cotton.
...

There's a light in the dark,
When everything else has gone out;
The burning embers of an unfinished thought,
Smoldering deep within a dream.
...

I stand by the ocean,
Breathing in the crisp air of night fall,
Watching the moon slipping away,
As the sky melts into the sea;
...

The rain is gone,
It's pitter patter silent,
It's accompaniment of thunder quiet,
It's ensemble of lightning dark,
...

I'm writing in hope for something with sweet melody,
A rhythm that can be felt,
A beauty that can be read.
With words flowing like water over rocks,
...

Have you ever thought about the skin,
And how the only thing keeping from one being slipping into another,
Being consumed by, and consuming them completely, is skin?

Have you ever felt someones skin against yours,
...
