Beverly Brown Poems

How can you hurt me?
And feel nothing at all
And fail on your promise
To catch me when I fall?
...

Christmas time is coming
The snow is glistening as it falls
People are singing Christmas carols
And crowding at the malls
...

Waking up to you each morning
Kissing you every night
My world used to be dark
But now you're my light
...

I know that you’re crying
I see it every day
I know that you’re hurting
In every single way
...

I wasn’t there
To say goodbye
To hold your hand
Before you die
...

A daughter so cherished
Loved and adored
Has completed her life’s journey
To go be with the lord
...

Why can’t I be perfect? Why can’t I be thin?
Why do I feel when I eat, like I am committing a sin?
I count my calories each time that I eat
And force myself to vomit each night before I sleep
...

They said there would be no drinks
And the party's going to be a blast
Come on, you’re invited
Let’s rock this party fast!
...

Is anybody there?
Is anybody listening?
Do you even care?
Or am I not worth anything?
...

From the moment we met
To our very first kiss
It’s not a fairytale I’m feeling
It’s the feeling love gives
...
