Terry Cooper Poems

I get so scared
So weak
So sick
Of seeing all I've lost
...

I wonder what
Will become of me
I have no goals at all you see
I do not dream I do not plan
...

So, there's a reason for all of this
Struggling with existence
Struggling for the necessities
Of existence
...

'Too many men passed through these arms' is not a line I wrote..
I wish I had, wish it were mine, instead of just a quote.

I've thought I'd found true love before, so many times in fact
...

To be so close
To be so near
Not have the nerve
To interfere
...

We all have one
You know you do
Who's never far from mind
So they have not got far away
...

I did not fall, I did not break
It only gave my heart a shake
I thought I saw
(I think I did)
...

Whether it will
Or whether it won't
Snow or rain
Don't listen; don't
...
