Melanie Walendowsky Baker Poems

I do still think of you
every day.
I can't understand, though,
when my heart still frays.
...

You came along
unexpected, yet true.
I beheld what I craved,
I beheld what was you.
...

Hope I don't want,
just to be fooled.
In the end that's what happens,
when senses have cooled.
...

I don't understand.
Is it ok not to?
This need I've always had
to know and understand
...

I know I'm unsure
but that's ok for now.
I'm learning the ways
of not knowing how;
...

I don't care much about caring
for all things unknown.
I try to keep away
I try to stay alone;
...

The darkness can creep back
and catch me unaware
it can melt all the smiles
and my senses impair.
...

Trying to find answers
when questions are lost.
The circles continue
my life has been paused.
...

I don't know where I'm going.
I don't know what I'm doing.
I keep going on
with my life unfulfilling.
...

Elimination of all
that makes me 'un-me'
is all that I crave
I want to be free.
...
