Dmitri Davis Poems

I'll be coming home, just to be alone!
Because I know you're not there, and I know that you don't care!
I can hardly wait, to leave this place!
...

Shh, close your eyes and go to sleep...

You're lying awake, the room is different
The walls dissolve replaced by sky.
...

We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes, —
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
...

I've been lying awake at night,
I've been hoping that I'm alright,
I've been winding myself too tight,
I wonder if i will sleep tonight?
...

Show me a sign, that you are there.
To me it seems you don't even care.
I cried and bled waiting for you to answer.
But instead you gave my mom cancer.
...
