Rachel Brewer Poems

When my world is crashing all around me,
And the stars are falling from the sky.
I often look all around,
And ask the world, why?
...

As I wash my knife and wipe off your blood,
The feeling finally kicks in.
The feeling of guilt in the pit of my stomach.
But I can’t help feeling pleasure too.
...

We are not going to live forever.
No matter how much we wish it,
And how much we desperately want to,
We will all die, sooner or later.
...

Looking down at the city, I hear it crying.
Crying for someone to save it.
Rain pours through the streets, covering every inch of building, socking it to the bone.
Watching the people like scurrying ants, trying to find their way.
...

Ringing, ringing, off the hook,
Why wont you go away?
Ringing, ringing, all the time,
I don’t know what to say.
...

Speeding, speeding so fast I knew something had to go wrong.
How could something not go wrong?
The wind flew past us and everything seemed like a blur.
It was only a matter of time now.
...

I saw you sitting there outside my window.
Your cue ball face creeping through the darkness, staring at me.
What do you want from me?
Your skeletal fingers ‘tap, tap, tap’ the glass, still with your gaze fixed on me.
...

I couldn’t bring myself to go to your funeral.
I couldn’t look at your lifeless body, because it wasn’t you.
It was an empty shell, the empty shell of my best friend.
I couldn’t look at your peaceful face without crying, and I had cried enough.
...

The whispers rattle the trees,
The silence without them, is lonely.
Whispering throughout the land,
And talking to those unknowing.
...
