Aimee Rozen Poems

You'd think by the way I talk
I have my life together.
That everything inside my head
would already be sorted out.
...

Fleas dream of buying themselves a dog, and nobodies dream
of escaping poverty: that one magical day good luck will
suddenly rain down on them- will rain down in buckets. But
good luck doesn't even fall in a fine drizzle, no matter
...

Just because I lie awake in bed
and thoughts of you fill my mind,
doesn't mean I miss you.
I would never deny the fact
...

I dreamt about you last night
I saw you and I cried
I ran to you and kissed your lips
so wet with all my tears
...

The trees may stand tall
and the grass may be green,
but there is more beyond.
Ugliness can be seen.
...

I hope one day
it happens to you.
It happened to me
and I've done it.
...

You make me smile,
You make me laugh,
You please me again,
and again, and again.
...

I am lost and so confused
when I'm standing by your side.
I am whole and I am broken
by the smile you can't hide.
...

slamming doors
falling souls
things I wish to forget
things imprinted on my mind
...

Where did so many of us get that notion?

Did we get it from parents who hoped we would make up
for all the empty spaces in their own lives?
