Mary Nagy Poems

I talked to my sister today.
It's been over eight years.
The first word that she wrote
began the flood of tears.
...

I’ve just received an S.O.S:
That read:
“Please Save Our Souls”
“This life has been so horrid
...

She's not in class
where she should be at 9: 15 a.m.
She's at the church
acrossed the street from the high school.
...

Sitting for what seems hours
listening to the rain
I find myself hypnotized
by the puddle
...

Why can't I be happy
when the world is at my door?
I have all that I'll ever need.
I couldn't ask for more.
...

To me, she could've said anything
I wanted so badly to hear her say,
''I love you and I'm gonna try.''
But all she said is ''I just can't stay.''
...

My every muscle hurts.
I fight my eyes for sight.
It seems my day just starts...I blink
and once again it's night.
...

The baby girl was born.
The family was torn.

Three kids already there.
...

The silence is flooding my ears.
Your absence is feeding my fears.
I've never quite known
if my feelings have shown
...

I still have dreams that haunt me.
I'm back there as a child.
I see the drinks, the drugs and all.
I watch our family be defiled.
...
