Ryan Holmes Poems

I walk along this dusty road,
I’ve contemplated love and life,
These thoughts are getting hard to bode
I need an end to this damn strife
...

As I watch life pass me by
Still I continue to hide
Finding strength in nothing now
My thoughts blanked out by my shouts
...

He’d always searched for the words to say,
To let her know how he had felt,
She had to find out one of these days
The way she had made his heart melt
...

Our Romeo snuck in the tomb
Not waiting for his Juliet.
Yet knowing his impending doom,
He sat on the cold floor and wept.
...

Elderly wounds have yet to fade,
Fore pain still lingers to this day.
Every since you said good bye,
This shallow grave in which I lie,
...

The time I've spent thinking of you,
It seems to me, that's all I do,
The time I've spent, in covert ache,
To know your soul, to see you wake
...

You left the noose for me,
Hanging, looming,
Leaving me with thoughts of sorrow.
I step up to it, all the while thinking of you,
...

You've given me a great friendship
You've been there for me and much more
That's why I shut my lonely lips
And never say my love is yours
...

I don’t sleep at night anymore.
I just lie there, thinking of her.
Lost opportunity, closed doors.
What ever you call it, it hurts.
...

I die today,
I wish I may,
Gain strength to say,
My ashamed truth.
...
