Shawn Caine Hampton Poems

When you look you will not see.
That there is a void in me.

Just beneath the surface it does lie.
...

Why did you go? Why did you leave?
You still had so much to achive.

Why did you do it? Why did you go?
...

The innocence i can plainly see.
In this child who looks like me.

She's so sweet and very kind.
...

I'll tell you now i've commited no crime.
Yet here i am doin time.

I'm locked inside a barless prison.
...

I sit and gaze upon this sea.
Wondering what became of me.

There used to be a person here.
...

Why say i love you when it's untrue?
When we say it i still feel blue.

The ability to love has evaded me.
...

Math is a word for arithmetic. 
But my problem started with a needle prick.  

This problem of mine now rules my life.
