Brittany Marsh Poems

You don't realize that it's happened
until it's all said and done
You say it's just a joke
Your just having some harmless fun
...

Daddy why are you home so late
You promised earlier hours
You smell of alcohol and sadness
Why can't I help you?
...

i know, my love
im addicted to words
and everything i say is barely a whisper
but i scream for attention
...

forgive you?
I can't
memories pick me apart
limb by limb
...

She looks good in color.
She looks to break your will
She looks so pure in white
& she looks like she could kill
...

I wish i knew my purpose
Why i was put on earth
Why my mother gave me up
Soon after my birth
...

As i looked into your eyes
I could see the fire no longer there
It seemed to me that you
No longer wanted to care
...

keep walking

walking
...

Flailing arms,
burning coffins,
mirrored lives of those forgotten.
...

Madmen who twitch
search for the stitch
to open and create bigger gashes.
...
