Scarlett Voight Poems

Will I get cavities?

I only brush my teeth when you tell me to Mom!
Once a month, that's good enough,
...

The heart is a truly terrible and vile thing.
It lies to you,
It swallows you whole and makes you feel nothing.
Just when you think you know what love is. It disappears.
...

Thick fog covers my eyes,
Yet fear has left me
Deluded light is my only reassurance in this blue mist
Sparks of electricity, tug, at my hands-
...

Your heart sinks
The mind turns dark
Blinded the instant you turn to face it
What is it?
...

Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick
The clock reads...eleven
Time it dies away, slowly fading to Gray
None which can be returned to me
...

Unthinking and unmoving, presiding only in myself
To grasp it and be unable to at the same time
Who do you wish to see? To know?
I laugh in the faces that can and do
...

Do you think I pretend?
Am I a liar like everyone else?
A conformist?
Should I look you in the eyes?
...

Maze in my heart, where have you taken me?
I trusted in the blue wisp to guide me
How cheerful it looked, yet deception is its core
The knife wrapped in cloth incases bitter truthful sorrows
...

Ice-
The touch is chilling
Sigh from unquenchable thirst
Brain freeze is still shunned
...

I will never forget the sight of...
Every detail on your face, a handsome smile
Remarkable breath taking animation,
nature perfectly captured and magical
...
