Courtney Harris Poems

Hey baby I need you to listen. This is something I don't want you missin'.
It's not telling you this that's tough. It's that I know words alone will never be enough.
I could tell you that you are really sweet, and every time I see you my heart skips a beat.
Whenever you're around my knees go weak. You can make me blush with even just a kiss on the cheek.
...

Some more champagne please, so I can make a toast. To all you've done. To all the lies you've created and the lives you've destroyed. All of it… just for fun.


When you think about me do you wish things were the way they used to be?
...

Help me to fly help bring me down.
Give it one more try when no one's around.
Wearing a dress made of screams. Black as blood. Red as night.
Living in dreams where things are alright.
...

Her perfect boy and all of his sweet lies.
He doesn't realize how much his beautiful girl cries.
Rewind and erase those lustful obsessions
Covered up in sugar-coated confessions.
...

Everyone's intentions are always the best;
Everyone starts out innocent, more or less.
But soon you find out hormones can't be beat.
Eyes lock and hands meet.
...

Start counting the seconds;
count each and every day
that turns into years
as time flies away.
...

Should I just write you out of this story?
Or do you wanna be in this fairytale with me?
This night is filled with the promise of one more fight.
Can we fix this and make things right?
...

Get past the who, what, when, where, whys.
No one knows how hard she tries.
Still they resign to speak their lies.
It's these feelings she always denies.
...

Wow, look at her now, don't you just wonder how?
How she ever let it get so bad, notice how she's always sad.
What really did you expect; she's lost all sense of self-respect.
She knows how to play this game, one more time to drain the pain.
