Leigh Ladd Poems

Sleep, sleep,
Come my way.
Let me sleep,
So I can start a new day.
...

There are so many questions about love,
But it is a simple answer, really.
Some guard against it,
Others fake it completely.
...

The coma came and I wanted to shout,
I want out and then they came,
The dreams of death that made me feel ashamed.
...

I told you this would happen,
You had better watch your step.
But I wasn't good enough,
And now with what are you left?
...

I lost my grasp
On all that I restricted.
Misplacing control over my thoughts and feelings,
Now everyone knows too much.
...

You brought out the best in me,
Things I didn't know I had.
You brought that smile,
I had lost it for awhile.
...

I'm not naive and I'm not dumb,
I see you standing there with your gun.
You wanted what was best and what was mine,
But in the end only your own death you will find.
...

Don't let your ego grow inflated,
I'm done with you,
The memory of you has become abated.
...

It's time for you to face reality,
My mission is almost through.
Soon my memory will be erased,
Like you had never been to my room.
...

Now that you and I are through,
And she replaced me by your side,
I left something there and it's hard to hide,
Think about it with all of your might.
...
