Brooke Peterson Poems

Say you'll never leave me.
All my life be true.
Trust is the question.
Intuition is the answer.
...

Life is more like a forest, than a highway.
There's no signs telling you where to go,
no such thing as cruise control,
your gunna trip over a stump or two,
...

Your love, a candle, a flame-
...slow burning, steady.
Your love, a match, fire the same-
...ever quick, ever ready.
...

Burning, Rushing
Beating, Baiting.

Loving, Wanting
...

Wake up,
brush it off,
work it out,
skin-so-soft.
...

I don't know if I miss
what wasn't there.
Or if it's the fact
that you never cared.
...

Please be careful,
the steps you take,
you don't know
it's still your Real Estate.
...

If you don't mean what you say,
don't talk to me.
If you don't think I'm pretty,
dont' look.
...

You came in, unwanted and new.
You came in, surprised you too.
You came in, too late for us.
You came in, thought it was lust.
...

All day long, not a word-
but at night, I'm beginning to learn...
When I push you away in the light-
the closer you come in the night.
...
