Jill Burns Poems

I held the candle,
warm and bright
I sat it down and walked away,
leaving the light
...

Glory to yourself!
I know you all to well

Roll your eyes and fake a smile,
...

His eyes used to glow,
his smile was brilliant

How could we know that his smile would fade,
...

So we've found a way to pass our time,
we write down every random rhyme
And we always pretend that we're all right,
when we're not fine,
...

I can't break this wall,
this solitude is breaking me
And I know I'm starting to fall,
but can you even see me?
...

Your shallow heart won't beat in time with mine,
but our paths always seem to intertwine

Your demons work against you,
...

Sing a song of bitter indulgence
Then ring the bell,
saying sorry for your incompetence
...

She was one too smart to fool,
confidence was her tool

She roams the world in search of one she must dual,
...

I lurk in the shadows and feed while they sleep,
I take their life so fast that they don't even have time to weap

Their blood enters my body like a flood of neverending life,
...

The pain that I feel,
increases with the bruises that will not heal
And the pain that I've been forced to conceal has turned to hate,
the one thing I can still feel
...
