Ann Thrope Poems

dependent on you
i wanna be independent
like the few
lucky ones who could pull away
...

I'll say hello,
you'll turn away,
I'll cry hello,
and you'll turn and kiss his face.
...

I want to be free,
i want to let go.
i do not want life,
i crave the end.
...

i took off our necklace,
tore open my heart,
sewed it back together,
and left your name out.
...

I didn’t ask for this
and I didn’t ask for your help.
I didn’t ask to be like this
and I won’t ask for your help.
...

i thought i could trust you,
figured i could believe you.
and when you said we'd just talk,
i didn't even see right through you.
...

Will you let me save you,
will you let me let go?
It seems like i'm falling apart
while everything else is falling into place.
...

I tried, but it was a lie.
I lied, but it was true.
I gave in, but did not let go.
I let you in, but watched with wary eyes.
...

my mind is crashing
and spinning
and twisting
with no hope of stopping
...

what do you do when all you want is out
and it's not about
anything in particular
but everyone else is crazy for
...
