Muriel Ruth Emerson Poems

I don't forgive
And I don't forget
So think before you say something
That you might regret
...

Somewhere in the woods
The willows weep in fear
They hear the cries around the world
And weep for their sorrow
...

A dark shadow stands in the darkness
I feel the cold breath of death
Shortly upon me
The room went gloomy
...

The night falls in a heavy, suffocating cloak, cold and alone are we
The emotions for which you pine
Flares once then dies
Swept away by your obsession
...

What have you ruined?
A black cloud of pain as feelings disappear
Once we were together in heaven
Innocent and hand in hand,
...

This blade glides across my wrist
Back and forth
Back and forth
Blood spoiling onto the rough carpet beneath me
...

I look in the mirror
Wishing to see nothing at all
Hoping for the day someone will love me
Hoping for the day I care
...

Sometimes in order to live
We must be willing to die
In order to die you must be living in this world we created
No respect
...

I want to be someone else
I want to live another life
To forget the past
And move forward
...

Though we met in my dreams just yesterday;
Life is all about seizing the moment if we're crazy,
Your smile makes me laugh
Your skin looks like heaven
...
