Justin Fitzpatrick Poems

We all end up at the final note
Some unknown way
Some unforeseen how
We may not think it will reach us
...

She sucked on her bottom lip
Her hands shook and her eyes tear’d
Her memories all but faded
And hopelessness more than feared
...

I did not know many curious reasons
Why you act the way you do
I know not why you choose to be that way
I have not a single clue
...

When you are alive
You never seem to see
Those who make up you
Death’s inconsistency
...

I had thought
When you asked
On the distant day
I swore my last
...

You can cry that she’s no longer here
And nobody will call you weak
You can pretend to smell her sweet scent
And not feel judged if that’s what you seek
...

We once were met
Eye to eye
A lavish festival
Cast in the sky
...

Does anything ever change?
The days that slow go bye
And the ones you wish to tell
The tears you watch them cry
...

Thoughts enter through the breath
Dance throughout your lungs
Escape in every subtle gasp
Every unknown hum
...

Have you ever looked?
Across your hopes
To see a dream
A new reward
...
