Alyssa Lippi

The black freezes solid
hard as ice
Time stops
Motionless I stand
...

Sleep never comes for her
not anymore
her mind runs
, , like an old clock, ,
...

A friend of mine, ,
my friend of best.
We are to each other
a wall to lean on
...

She can't feel her legs
, , anymore, ,
She knows they're moving
as fast as they can
...

If the walls could speak
what would they say?

Would they tell how many tears you cried
...

Her lungs ache
from being so close
to her flaming heart
her breath comes
...

The happy ending
she was convinced was finally hers
once so strong, so sure
now wobbles, threatens to fall
...

Tears, crystal, fall, drip
A dropp of wordless poems
down your cheeks
into my heart
...

Promises of future dreams
made, , planned
little facts, insignificant
made to look like diamonds
...

Memories...
gifts, , to the mind, ,
tortured reminders, , to the heart, ,
Her love for him
...

15 years of...
lock up
lack of freedom
no choice
...

The loss of a loved one
hard to bare
but even harder for her
The death, , so intensely burning her heart
...

All her life, ,
she trusted, , too easily, ,
fell, , too fast, ,
and was left broken, , too many times, ,
...

One girl, , one life
even in less then -two- years
all that has changed
not notieceable at the time
...

What has she done?

Looking down at the ground
she doesn't understand
...

Alone, , she was, ,
sick, , in pain, , isolated
with every intake of breath
she had to force the air through her throat
...

He wants her
to not be her
to give up
the black hair
...

One man, , there since birth, ,
his heart beat, , her lullaby, ,
his smile, , her reward
her life, , his world
...

Her

Once:
seemingly perfect
...

new to the world,
everyday sites turned strange to new eyes
absorbing the world around her
she looks, watches, learns
...
