Carly Kisley Poems

Happy and Content
Right here with you lying next to me
Just for tonight
I’m hoping one day soon it’ll be every night
...

Midnight
Shoes, socks, pants, shirt, bra, off in that order.
One giant T-shirt goes on.
Door opens, smile across his face
...

Phone rings
It’s his brother
I’m at work on break
Those horrific words come through the phone
...

Had a great a write in my head
Sat down started to type
Mind goes blank
Watch TV for a minute
...

Clouds start to form, rain starts to fall
There I am standing in an open field, nowhere to run
One look at you, stumbling over my own two feet I go
There I fall into the warm embrace of your arms
...

You left me, alone in this world
I do not understand, tell me why
Come back for one more day so I can have a proper goodbye
...
