Birdie Anderson

Holding on the door knob
My hands are sweating
Panting beats in my head
Are they coming
...

I screamed & stomped down the hall
While you sit there looking so frickin calm
I almost fall to the floor with pure grief
But you caught me; I knew you wouldn't let me fall
...

Don't smile, Don't go near
Don't show me affection, Dear
I'm not worth
I'm not as good as you
...

Our eyes meet
Our heart's greet
We both smile
And hug so sweet
...

Each time you strike that blade
You feel more pain
Each time you look the other way
You feel more pain
...

I imaged myself
As pretty as I can be
With the water fall behind me
And my long, thick, shiny hair is down
...

Don't give me that stare
Of annoyance
When I am laughing
Don't give me that glare
...

Walking fast
With her new high heels
Skate boarding
On his old wheels
...

A sound here
A sound there
They are somewhere
A rushing movement across of the room
...

For that year
That month
That day
That hour
...

I don't recognize this man
Who has blood on his hands
I don't recognize this boy
Who seems to know the ways of war
...

Dark is creeping
Children screaming
Mothers weeping
I can't see and
...

Darkness
Killing
Blood-spilling
Coldness
...

Starting their Persian ballet
The fireflies are on their way
The dusk begins to end the day
As the grass bends like the sea waves
...

I feel stupid
To always cast my love stares
Across the room
But he doesn't care
...

If you could see
The love I feel for you
Then I'd be a light
To bright for your
...

Another fit
Another fight
Another battle
I lost again
...
