Kirsty Richards Poems

The blade shines through the darkness
Calling my name
Pretending to be a friend of mine
And I find that i can't resist
...

They say there's no place like home, I believe that
But my home is not where last night I sat
My home is not where I keep my things
My home is not where my doorbell rings
...

Dying inside
I hide behind closed doors
It's a chore to even breathe
I dont believe
...

Engulfed by the vicious torment all around me
Tied by the chains of emotion that bound me
The darkness surrounds me and scorns me and mocks me
The shrieking of silence pushes and knocks me
...

I know it's not easy when life takes away
All the things that you've learned and the things that you know
To replace them with heartache and pain and sorrow
...

A generous soul
may go unnoticed
in the short time we
spend here on earth
...

Sitting by his bedside
I watched him lying broken
Whispering goodbye to my best friend
Given all his time away
...

I saw you today, down the road with your mate
Getting on with your life, oh yeh you look great
But all I can do is remember the hate
You're a monster, and deep down you know it!
...

I saw a lonely man today just sitting on the street
Ragged clothes, a dirty face, no shoes upon his feet
And as I knelt beside him he looked up and gave a smile
'You're the only one who's noticed in a long, long while'
...

I'm going to tell you a secret
With words that are honest and true
The time is approaching midnight
The date, unimportant to you
...
