Toni O'Neill Poems

She sits there quiet in the dark of night
Alone, afraid, confused;
She wants to know what she's done wrong
And why she's been abused;
...

You are the one I think about
When things are tough, I need to shout
I miss your face, your laugh, your smile
The way we'd chat for quite a while
...

I thought I was strong
I thought I was tough
I thought I could cope
But it wasn't enough
...

How does it feel, the last day of September
You're sitting on a bridge, looking out across a river

How does it feel always being on your own?
...

So long cruel place of harmful thought
I'm leaving now, I'm to abort
The feeling's stayed for way too long
The fear has made me not belong
...
