Portia Lane Poems

The world around me is a ravenous monster
He does not stop to chew his meal
Rather he swallows whole, body and soul
If you search his inner parts for a heart
...

I'm sorry that I hurt you
I hope I didn't ruin it for her
I hope you let her know you
Let her love you like I should have done
...

That's the thing about pain
It demands to be felt
No matter how unwilling the victim
There are no exceptions allowed
...

What would I do without you?

You are the glue that holds my life together
The staple that keeps me from losing myself
...

From loneliness
And hopelessness
Jehovah rescued me
He gave me friends
...

Dear Father,

Where were you when I needed you?
I was in so much pain.
...

Waiting for my phone to ring
Yet trying to ignore my desire to hear your voice
Desperate times call for desperate measures
Just send me a text, please
...

I have here my pen and pad
And now I plan to prove my genius

If I can only get this stupid pen to work
...

Lost in a sea of emotions
Lost in the depths of my own thoughts
Lost without any notion
Lost and left distraught
...

My blessing

At some point in time
We will all need someone to depend on
...
