Mary OBrien Poems

It is a better life I lead
By following my own path
Breaking restraints of the past
Breathing deep and letting go
...

I lost you once before
You slipped through my hands
As the waves pulled me under

Salt water is stinging in my eyes
...

Tossing and turning
My brain, a spider web
Unwinding thread by thread
So much I want to say, but will go unsaid
...

Drive on, drive on
Far away from here
Don't turn back
You must forget
...

Stumbling backwards
Into this strange new life
Picking up the pieces
One by one off the floor
...

A soft whisper was heard
Clinging to the fog covering my eyes
So faint I couldn't make out the words
...

Meet me on the other side
Where life's only a sunset
That we were only glancing through
Always worrying what to say
...
