Hope Cortez Poems

I know you don't love me
yet somehow I keep coming back
I've become so desperate for your attention
...

I know you shouldn't even be a thought yet
but I just am so excited to meet you
And I can't wait for you to get here
I think you're beautiful or handsome
...

Me: Dear Doctor,
I wish I could tell you how I feel
Maybe then you'd know my feelings are real
Cause they are
...

You're worried about me?
Don't be
Be worried when I'm alone
When the sun has abandoned me
...

I don't believe in love at first sight
At first kiss
At first touch
All these lies are too much
...

I see that sandy beaches
of this distant paradise
The golden sun
his will be done
...

I'm not a poet
This is true
But trying's something I will do
The topic of my poem is fear
...

Sometimes dreams hurt
Though the blood, sweat, and tears
you have to work
to get where you want
...

I'm not a poet
can't you tell
so I won't even try,
but something about poems
...
