Maxine Sousley Poems

Throw Your Book at my feet
Tell me the reasons and the whys
Read it off one sentence at a time
Lock me away to cover the lies
...

You and I know what you did
Took a home and all inside
Tried to pretend that you cared
But now you run and hide
...

I found a love and friendship
Feels powerful, extreme, and bold
Now I’m sitting alone and behind
As the season turns from cold
...

I gave my entire soul to you
I give more when we are apart
I don't want to hurt even more inside
You are injuring my tender heart
...

The lessons we learn from our failure
are lessons that help us succeed
and if we are wise and we heed them
then failure is just what we need
...
