Wilma Horne Poems

Torn in two.
Don't know what to do.
Do I take the path of the unknown?
Or stay on the path I'm currently on?
...

She sits and waits
Under the giant elm
For her love to come
...

As she looks
Into the starry sky
She remembers
Days gone by
...

I met a brown-eyed boy years ago
And he was one of my best friends
He'd make me laugh
He'd make me smile
...

I never thought that you would leave
You left without goodbye
Now all i do is cry and cry
I wish i could turn back time
...

Truth is:
I've cried too many tears to count
Laid awake too many a night
Wishing it all would end
...

If i knew that one day you would leave
If i knew that you would be the one
to cause so much pain
If i knew how it would end
...

When you need a shoulder to cry on
I'll be here
If you ever need someone to just listen
I'll be here
...

In the room, there is an empty bed
Still unmade
A dusty window
Toys scattered on a dusty floor
...

Never give up on someone
Cuz you may be the only hope they have
They could be so close to the edge
And if they knew you were the only one
...
