Brandi Lamson Poems

The only reason you gave me when you said goodbye was that you
wanted a break until we both learned to set aside our pasts.
But it's been a week since you talked to me,
so I'm assuming it was just an excuse to get rid of me,
...

Dressed in all black, she is a shadow.
Lost like a new born baby panther.
She is the new girl of the school.
You've heard stories about her and wonder if they're true.
...

See that girl whose clothing is as black as the night?
She is the one who stands out at school.
See that button on her back pack that says freak?
She truly believes she is a freak.
...

They run into the room, just them two
Falling into an intimate embrace
After all they've been through, finally face to face.
Breathing heavy, trying to forget
...
