Courtney Beaudry Poems

I miss the one you used to be
I miss the love I used to see
Your heart is closed
Your mind too
...

Under the dark cover of night
I scream, against this worldly fight
My heart pulses blood in my veins
Though by him my heart has been maimed
...

My flesh is warm
but that does nothing for my cold heart
Which beats out-of-step
and is not up to par
...

My beautiful dreamer
What thoughts do you see?
When you're fast asleep?
Do you dream of me?
...

The numbness that is constricting
Is in turn, death-afflicting
Crying out in vain
Please stop this pain
...

The light has been shut off
My heart is cut off
from the life it used to hold
The light has been shut off
...

Is this the place?
I can feel the warmth flaring
I can feel the peace upon my face
I can feel the warmth searing;
...

If I block it out
I can just love you
Why are emotions tainted anyway?
The birds and the mammals
...
