Rachel Brewer Poems

You want me for the person I’m not.
You want what you see on the outside,
And you don’t bother to see if there’s anyone inside.
And I’m not okay with that.
...

I’ll meet you on the other side.
Then we will be free.
Free to explore the immensity of our love.
Free to be us, together.
...

I’m standing in the middle of the street,
I look down and see my feet.

I look back up and the wind is fierce,
...

Nothing can take you away from me.
I want to make that clear.
Nothing can ever take you away from me,
Because I will never let go.
...

I feel like I’m sinking into the ground.
The devil has a firm grip on me and he isn’t letting go.
He’s pulling me into the depths of despair.
He’s not giving me the chance to breathe.
...

Why are all these bombs going off around me?
What will happen, if there’s no one left standing after they explode?
The destruction made by something so small,
Seems, wrong.
...

I’ll be ready.
For judgement day.

People will be running and screaming in the streets,
...

The sky is dark.
The world is changing, for the worse.
It takes me over,
And I fade away.
...

One day is all I need.
One more day on this planet, and I’ll be ready to leave it.
I need to tell people,
Tell them I love them, and I’ll miss them.
...

I was swimming.
Swimming in a pool of blood,
That wasn’t my own.
...
