RACHEL ZARANTONELLO Poems

So many memories leave me
Wondering what to do
I've left the pain in the past now,
Still my thoughts return to you
...

I can't understand me
I've tried for so long.
No matter my choices,
I just always seem wrong
...

Afraid to go on,
Letting go, starting again
Am I only missing more,
I've lost my lover, my best friend
...

A reason to smile,
A kind word, a simple touch
Is it wrong to believe in a dream
You want so very much?
...

If I tell you I don't want you,
And go on my way,
Would you then, really love me,
and miss me in your day?
...

How much more
Can I possibly take?
Will I lose this constant battle?
No matter the choices I make?
...

Have you ever asked yourself
Why things never go your way?
Could it be the simple choices
As you hurry through each day?
...

A smile creeps slowly
upon your face
A moment to treasure
memories that can't be replaced
...

Thank you for your presence
And All that you do
I've so many reasons
to smile because of you
...

Smile!
Someone is thinking about you
And because of you-
they are smiling too
...
