Michelle Tiddy Poems

think I've lost faith...
There is no such thing as love
No such thing as the perfect man
Just a bitter-sweet torture
...

Isn't life funny sometimes?
The ups, the downs,
The smiles, the frowns
The utter beautiful confusion
...

Am I the only one, who's scared?
In fear of losing theirself, their identity
Becoming something they didn't mean to be
An anathema of their youth?
...

When you dip your toes in the water of life
Does it excite you? Does the tingle flood you
Right up to the heart and around your mind
Like a whitewater rapid ride? Or is it scary?
...

I think my heart is bleeding
You tore it out you see
Leaving my body unanchored
Drifting, without a dream
...

Slugs and snails and puppy dogs tails
Vanilla smiles and strawberry pails
Lots of faces laughing at me
Is it malice, in their eyes I see?
...

Gently, gently, softly, softly
The sun bathed the pastures in
A golden glow of hope and reflection
A new awakening, a new beginning.
...

Friends are like warriors
That protect your heart with a shield
Wrapping their love around you
Like an invincible cloak of emotions
...

You and I, what are we?
We are children lost in a field of corn
Ever turning, never finding, the exit
Searching, yearning, desperately
...

You burned into my heart, from the moment we met
From the moment you danced upon the page
You see, you made me whole, my heart you stole
And from that moment on, I changed...
...
