Nichole Pettit Poems

This final act of darkness
Inevitable doom
With nothing to live for
Wounds that run too deep
...

In the darkness of the night
I'll scream.
But it's all just a dream.
Or so it may seem.
...

Though through my wrists
Blood seeps.
It is my heart that
Opens evermore.
...

I sit here
Wondering where
Everything has gone
I'm as wide awake
...

Tell me everything you want me
To know
Tell me all you need me
To hear
...

There's a reason I don't speak
That I turn the other cheek
I'm trying to keep you close
But it's getting harder
...

As I sit here
I take the beating
No words come to me
But, the tears roll down
...

If you died tonight
I'd die too
Like they say
If the ship goes down into the sea
...

To the Lost Friend:

We used to be One
It used to be Fun
...

Never feel safe
Always trouble in my path
Worries racking my mind
No matter how I try to leave them behind
...
