Claire Taggart Poems

These raised voices I've heard far to much
Deafening screams forces me to reject your touch
False allegations that I'm the one to blame
False intentions that trigger off my pain
...

My worst enemy
My closest friend
You claim forgiveness
Then seek out revenge
...

Have you forgotten who you are
Followed the wrong path
Somehow been misguided
Seems everyone has the last laugh
...

There is something unique about the rain
Draws the mind into a state of reflection
It soothes the pain
...

You're a memory I could never erase
A picture I was never brave enough to deface

You are the last person on my mind before I sleep
...

I will carry you until my arms ache
I will carry you until my back breaks

I will carry you until my feet are raw
...

Mom always said only as far as your knee
No deeper you hear me?
We don't want you getting washed out to sea
...

I know it hurts
Your mind has been misled
Tears you cry
When all your prayers have been left unread
...

Clenching my fist
Looking into your eyes
Feeling this burning hate begin to rise
...

I'd give my last breath
To breathe life into your broken heart
I would light a thousand candles to protect you from the dark
...
