Lilyann Monahan Poems

My daddy will protect me,
I'm worth the gold he touches,
...

I'm the luckiest girl around,
God has blessed me with the sound.
...

It's not happening,
I'm way ahead,
I've seen your tricks before.
You can try all you like,
...

It started when I was a child of two,
I was wanting attention, as many girls do.
So soon we were playing hide and go seek,
after he came home from work, I'd hide and not speak.
...

2010
For the first time in my life, right from the very start,
I heard a man sing my song, with language from the heart.
Poetry at its best, the sweetest tone to hear, I learned my lessons one by one, he heard my years of fear.
...

Stripped bare to nothing but a soul,
obscured to the human eye,
chained modesty to mockery,
my desolation seeks a cry.
...

'A dream is a wish your heart makes'
how true that is indeed.
God brings people to you,
and your loneliness they feed.
...

The deadened sense of crimson,
silencing my core,
a consequence of fate or luck,
he chastises me once more.
...

I have a friend with a heart of gold,
I've known him most of my life,
But we argue like everybody,
and he causes me a lot of strife.
...
