Meredith Marie Poems

And these things I start,
These petty little wars,
[I don't try. I swear I don't try.]
Are pulling me
...

Always the listener
Never the teller
Letting thoughts, words emotions
stay inside.
...

I wanted you to know,
this is how I feel.
I'm sick and tired of this.
I wanted you to know,
...

Sad, sad.
Your face doesn't match your soul.
Mad, mad.
I can't stay away.
...

You make them sound so horrible,
These things that I've done.
These petty wars. These little fights.
...

I want someone to whisper
Quiet, in my ear
All the things they long to say
When it's my name, they hear
...

Im tired of searching for your affection,
Done with digging for your approval,
Sick of overthinking the obvious,
Over living up to your standards.
...

Your mouth, the picture of silence.
Broken promises, outdated confessions,
and the secrets of a keeper.
Your mouth, it looks like unhappy
...

i'd love for you to love me -
in fact, theres nothing i'd like more.
by now you've probably figured out
it's YOU these tears are for.
...

you're like cheap cigars,
like open scars,
like empty arms,
you're like broken cars.
...
