Lana May Hamlin Poems

I close my eyes and I see your face
Our perfect memories replay in my mind
I miss the feeling of your strong embrace
Your deep kisses I can no longer find
...

I don’t want to think about you every time I come here
I don’t want to think about the things we did
I just want to move about this town freely
Without holding back a single tear
...

He loved her ~ She loves him
He lost her ~ She let him go
He’s dead inside ~ It’s killing her
He doesn’t know what to do ~ She’s searching for her meaning
...

Walking on the crowded street
I see people I will never meet
Smiling as they pass me by
I smile back at a confident-looking guy
...

Why do people lie?
Don’t they know that it hurts and it makes us cry?
I don’t really know what to believe anymore
He’s been an amazing friend but the lie goes to my core
...

I close my eyes and fight back the tears
That well up in my eyes.
Everyday I face my fears
Because I don’t have you by my side.
...

I dance when no ones watching
I sing so you can’t hear
I cry alone in the darkness
Longing to have you here
...

It has nothing to do with the love of a family
But the betrayal of destiny
A destiny set before she was born
A life of sadness and of being alone
...

She was only seven when her life was turned upside-down
She was only seven when she learned to constantly hide her frown
She was only seven when her mother was killed
And her life became unfulfilled
...

Drowning,
Sick of swimming,
On the brink of letting go.
Smiling,
...
