Christina Ramirez Poems

I thought that I could do it, thought that I would be able to give every ounce of me.
But I’m finished, I’m through with your words and 'promises'.
Now they mean nothing to me, like you.
This may seem rash and sudden, but a thought well planned out.
...

I say only what I need to say in front of this congregation.

Only for the sake that what you say rolls to the floor and what you think of me is nothing but a bore.
...

If the end of the world came today
I wouldn't care anyway
As long as I'm holding your hand
...

Your dead to me
You drowned youself in the sea
We brought you to the shore and left you at the door
Wondering if you would walk through
...

You cheered me up with the simplest wag of your tail

Or trying to nuzzle with me when I slept on the couch.
...

It's just the way it is,
With every word that he says
He catches me and somehow I become everything that he needs me to be,
Leaving everything that ever worried me
...

....that I can trust
With everything that I have, and believe me it's not much.

....that witness my impatience and my difficulties
...

Your there and everywhere, but never here.
I want your hand beside me, near me, wiping this tear from my face.
I can still feel your warm embrace, your arms sliding around my waist.
But it seems everytime I need you, you're never here.
...

I'm That Girl....with the twitch in her eye and the classic pin curl in her hair.
and the imperfect, sarcastic flair

I'm That Girl....who laughs at you when your back is turned,
...

Why is it so hard for you to say what you mean?
Who cares about how I'll feel, as long as I know that everytime I see you it's not just another scene.

Why does it have to be so hard for me to stop loving you?
