Lora Cooley Poems

Out on the highway
Nightfall to daybreak
A new way,
I was falling asleep while awake
...

Where were you underneath the lies
Nobody is getting honesty
Show us the turth
We'll tell ourselves we could save this
...

I know that you are tired
Most seem so strange
It's done because that is their personal tiny miracle
Like now as like before
...

Our hands wander blindly in a forest made of flesh
Our eyes speak in signals
Twist in patterns
...

Your lips linger on my skin
Kiss me one last time

You're like a whisper in the winter
...

Maria's poem said that the song she sings isn't wrong
I say it just flows to another
Beat
And to some people that makes it sound off
...

If I'm leaving then I'm leaving, I'm leaving and I'm gone
You try to tell me to stop you hold me back with your hand
You tell me please please there is nothing really wrong
...

A shadow on a shadow
A glimmer of the past
Trapped in the old apartment
The child that she once was
...

Everybody wants a reason for everything
It's so much easier with something to blame
It hurt for a reason
Last snowfall left splinters
...

These scars will fade away
But never disappear
The cause of this harm will go unnoticed by people all around
But count me among those gifted few
...
