Cathy Phew Poems

Give me a minute of your time
60 seconds to be precise
Before you shut me out
i ask you hear me out
...

It was not by chance we met
nor a mistake to connect
but seasons come and go
they change every now and then
...

Once again,
just like yesterday
nothing has changed
not even this stench i smell
...

Within the silence of my mind
At the corners of my heart
A voice full of scorn arises and asks
What have you become?
...

I have thought about it over and over again
tried to break it down so that i can understand
day and night and i still can't figure it out
so i was wondering if you could just help me out
...

She cannot look into your eyes
Afraid you'll see what lies inside
Imperfection, pain, wounded and grief
She is the girl with the broken wing
...

You knew me from thy youthful self
you fed me and the debt i paid
our kins have been best of friends
yet upon that day when put to test
...

I would not give a damn
about you being in harm
i would leave you alone
if i had a heart of stone
...

An ocean of tears invade your eyes
I see you fighting to hold them inside
The anger within you suffocates your joy
Unable to speak, to express what you feel
...

As thee speak thy words warilly
with thy resonant voice and thy face unfazed
And as i listen faithfully
for between us there was camaraderie
...
