Mel. D. Poems

The red line slowly rises,
Puffy and bold against my pale arm. 
Why must I make so many promises
If I'm the only one that I harm. 
...

You have eyes of chocolate
Oh, so impossibly sweet.
They're my absolute favorite,
My most looked forward to treat.
...

We've always been the very best of friends,
And I told her all of my secret stuff,
Private matters she promised to defend,
And I thought that her promise was enough.
...

There is too much junk in my little world
That requires my attention and care,
Causing my sanity to come unfurled
And yell at life to get out of my hair.
...

Dark things lurk in the dark;
They come out to play at night.
But I don't hide myself from them
Even though the monsters can bite.
...

If I told you I didn't like you,
Would that fix my sin?
If I were to say I wasn't in love,
Would you love me again?
...

With the night come fears,
But I can't show my tears.
Holding it in all these years
Is harder than it appears.
...

"Be a good girl while I'm gone, "
Daddy told his daughter as he walked out the door,
Leaving for three months on his first trip with his new job,
Leaving her alone with the woman she's come to abhor.
...

I sneak through the woods
where everything is covered in snow.
While walking as quiet as I could,
I try not to let my panic show.
...

It was a pretty normal day, innocent,
Going into the church's basement
To get the signs out of the closet,
Laughing and joking with him as we went.
...
