SarahLouise Malone Poems

THERE ONCE WAS A SLAVE NAMED VALENTINE;
she loved and loved,
but was again and again pushed away
she couldnt take it and moved and moved,
...

love..
the one word that can make the strongest man cry..
the most timid person scream with glee..
the word that can injure you with no physical damage..
...

i wish you could love me,
for who i am-was-and
not what you made me
...

I can taste victory,
nearly in my clutch
but then, suddenly
you come and scream
...

don't say you didn't care..
your eyes told it all
nothing we didn't share
leading to your call
...

i live
i love
but young, i was dead
yes a girl of fourteen
...

this house-i called home
that person-i trusted
that boy- i love
this girl- i use to hate
...

Take these tears and make them real
Make them honour the sorrow they bleed for
Let them be faithful to their true cause
Because without some meaning to it all, i feel like i'm selfishly leaking
...

Hide me, Find them..

'As obvious as the words on this screen,
i am scared,
...
