Mary Nagy Poems

I bought myself a globe
that shows me where you are.
I like to see if you are near
or if you're very far.
...

They sat hidden in the shadows
and talked amongst themselves.
I doubt they would've noticed
if their servers had been elves.
...

Today they eat the nachos
they sit and ''shoot the bull''.
There never is a shortage
of a spare finger to pull!
...

You say you wanted to talk
about our past.
You heard I've been dealing
with my own acceptance
...

I know it was a dream but still it felt so real.
My dad was right here next to me, his arms I can still feel.

He asked me how I'm coping and if I felt alright.
...

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

In a self-centered way
I have to think God was thinking of me
when he created you.
...

As I creep down the path of forgiveness
and I search for my own lonely heart,
I yearn for the feel of completion.
I must finish what God made me start.
...

I was driving by the park yesterday and saw that girl.
She was holding a beer while leaning back on some scroungy guy.
I remember when she was in your class in 5th grade...she's only 16.
Does her mother know this is what she does
...

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