Jeff Fleischer Poems

When push came to shove
And I was denied the slighest bit of love,
It was something you said that gave me hope,
As I was like a boxer falling against the ropes.
...

I met this woman on the plane.
We flew amongst the clouds in a driving rain.
She was beautiful and she was witty.
She just blushed when I told her she was very pretty.
...

The light of my life has disappeared.
It feels like a kick in the rear.
Now I am scared about what lies ahead.
Am I better off dead?
...

G-d loves the raven as He does the dove.
G-d constantly shows us His love.
G-d loves me and He loves you.
G-d loves us our whole lives through.
...

I finally emerge from the shadows of the night.
I haven't slept in days or bothered to eat right.
I step outside and feel the wind and the cold.
The stubble on my face makes me look really old.
...

Our love is shattered.
And you act like it hardly matters.
This is causing me more and more pain each day.
I can't eat or sleep, and my heart is torn and frayed.
...

Now that you've left, things are not fine.
I wish you would think about it and change your mind.
How could you tell me that you're not in love with me anymore?
And when you left, did you really have to slam the door?
...

I had dated many girls in the past,
But could never find a love that would last.
I felt very alone
When I had to eat dinner by myself at home.
...

When the wind whistles through the trees
And I feel the ocean's gentle breeze,
I think of all the feelings I have for you.
And how you love me, too.
...

I need some information that I can't get from the phone.
I want to know why you left me all alone.
You left me for the man next door.
I don't have your love anymore.
...
