Pauline McVicar Poems

A ticking clock,
I wish it would stop.
Counting sheep,
Yet I still can’t sleep.
...

My chance, our dance. The smell of your hair.
One night, just right. Only us there.
Two people, no music. Darkness all around.
Lights are bright, hands held tight. We cant hear a sound.
...

Through the darkness, through the mist
I cannot find the one I trust,
With pain in my heart, thoughts flooding my head,
I know deep down in my heart I must.
...

Open your eyes. It’s cold.
Look down at your feet,
Where are they going to?
Look around, look at the street,
...

People only see one side of me,
They never look within,
They see the tough exterior,
And can’t see I’m wearing thin.
...

I’ve never ever felt like this,
The fear is killing me!
I don’t want to lose you,
I hope that you can see.
...

The monotony of normality,
The terror of change,
That place in betwee,
Where these feelings are strange.
...

We take our time and give it away,
Waste a day in mindless action.
Not allowing time for peaceful solice,
Losing our days through petty distraction.
...
