Sarah Frederick Poems

So, I sat down yesterday
With your picture in my hand...
She had just left,
The part of me that pretends it's all alright...
...

I don't care what you say or think or do,
I'm still me and not you.
I'm who I say I am,
not who you say I am.
...

All I can think of is you,
Of all the time we had with each other
Of everything we did
Of all the love we shared
...

Illusions
The mirage of a lake in the middle of a wasteland
Illusions
The smiles plastered on an abused face
...

Three ways to show you I love you
Is to tell you every chance I get
Is to hold you when you need me
Is to tell you what no one else can know
...

I live in a world where animals can talk
And where plants grow freely.

I live in a world where I can fly away from anything
...

Love is not impossible.
Everyone has a partner chosen before they could walk.
Love is not fake.
It's always around, only available when you find the one truly yours.
...

What if I told you I loved you?
Would you catch me before I hit the floor?
What if I said I missed you?
Would you hatch a plan to surprise me?
...

As my lips quiver
And my tongue tastes the water of sorrow
I look at the letter you sent
I peer at your words
...

This one is for the day you called me ugly
This one is for the guilt you give me
This is for the scars you left
These are for the hope you killed
...
