Alyssa Lippi Poems

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
...
