chantelle ribeiro Poems

It is so dark
Even in the daylight
I am blinded by sorrow
Tears have burnt a pathway
...

When you were born
on this day all those years ago,
you never knew how significant you would be one day...
the lives you would touch,
...

Unreal
A moment of profound silence
My heart racing in my chest
I hear it in my ears
...

Where to now?
Now that my life is on hold?
Why did you leave me alone to grow old?
I get angry sometimes
...

Emptiness
A vast nothingness
The silence all around
My eyes glued to the ground
...

You blow my mind
You - so private
telling me
confessing
...

You don't know me
Stranger of another world
Intrigue your motive
You hunt me
...

Why am I the gullible one?
The one who believes in hope
In a new friendship
In people's goodness
...

Here I am
Just me
Nobody important
Just a girl
...

Enough
A simple word
An exclamation
The final straw
...
