Robin Rodriguez Poems

I'm never one to tell the truth;
I'm never one to tell a lie.
I never thought omittance
Would change this.
...

When I look around me,
Al I see is no one,
And all I feel is empty.
Mixtures of light and dark
...

I hope you're not staying,
'Cuz your presence is chafing,
And I know you hope
That to The House I go.
...

Behind every picture perfect family,
There is a picture perfect Hell.
Walls painted so prettily,
Scream in agony
...

Some would say that
I'm ice cold.
Truly, I love as
Deeply as I hate.
...

Knees trembling, hands shaking,
You smiled and the world faded.
Your eyes, so piercing, twinkled
With a mischievous light
...

Oh! Algebra, I cannot count the ways that I hate you!
Is it all your rules and principles?
Or the word problems and the organization of information.
Perhaps it's the way you make me feel,
...

I'm so tired of trying to,
Shine this halo for you
'Cuz I think all of us already know
That I've fallen too far for you to see.
...
