RACHEL ZARANTONELLO Poems

Never too busy or forgetful
When the words I don't say
I'd never take you for granted
you life complete each day
...

How could I not see all along?
Why must my choices all be wrong?
Where is my faith, when I need to be strong?
Where will life take me?
...

Once upon a time,
A distant memory in my head
I knew just where I was headed,
I made a wrong turn instead
...

Is fate what you make it, or
what is meant to be?
Your dreams, your future,
What exactly IS destiny?
...

Have you ever
felt so lost inside?
No words to comfort
A love denied
...

What is it that keeps me?
Why do I hold on?
I've given you all my love
It was wasted, now it's gone.
...

Whatever it takes to be happy
Endless smiles to see
The pain as I lose my heart
Knowing what you do to me
...

It's amazing how you cannot see
The games you play, painful reality.
A constant torment, this emotional war
still you will defeat me
...

It's been one year, today.
A year I just want to erase.
Pretend like it never happened.
That day death showed its dark face
...

You shattered my life
Leaving broken pieces of my heart.
Did you ever care at all?
Or simply used me from the start?
...
