Melanie Walendowsky Baker Poems

Who do you go to
when there's no one there?
Where is the shoulder
when you're in despair?
...

uncertainty compounded
into rejection most certain
is not what i hoped for
for the final curtain.
...

The rain falls;
the sun shines;
I fall down;
I get up.
...

So come and take me
away somewhere;
where I can escape
from myself and be;
...

My cat walks
all over me.
I'm just a mere
doormat.
...

I remember that night
it's so terribly clear.
Such wonderous delight
you and me near.
...

He made me feel again.
How I've longed for that.
It's still too scary, though.
Too hard, and too abstract.
...

The thoughts have gone
the words have stayed.
I've heard it all
and am still afraid.
...

And when the lights
go dim,
and all I see are
shadows,
...

If I must mourn you,
let it be with smiles and tears,
without regret in the shadows.
...
