Jaana Coon Poems

I am sitting here,
watching my life go by me.
Faces pass, people come and go.
My life is going down a completely different road.
...

I am running.
Faster and faster,
from what or
who, I don't know.
...

Every time I see you,
a part of my heart
is torn and ripped,
beaten and mutilated;
...

Day after long dreadful day,
I come home and quietly
put on my mask
so they don't worry.
...

Here I go again,
I see myself falling for you.
My heart beat both
quickens and slows down around you.
...

Every touch and kiss,
every sigh and long look in your eyes,
I feel my love for you
grow stronger and deeper.
...

Dawn breaks over the horizon,
the first rays of sunshine
start to warm the air
and brighten the city.
...

I have let so many
people into my heart;
not all for the right reasons...

I trusted so many
...
