Dakota Ellerton Poems

The name of the game
get the other on the ground
don't stop til' one of us falls
without making a sound
...

Up above the bollosm tree
a bird is soaring high
Death is shadowing on the Earth
that's Death's Raven in the sky
...

An ache in my chest
a sting carried through my veins
a candle flickering
the soothing sound of water running
...

Like a storm in my being
It couldn't be stopped
this overwhelming emotion
began tearing me apart
...

Bed of illusions
the stench of death on the curtains
sunlight peeks through my window
a rythmic beep
...

In your arms I want to be
It's the place I want to lay
tell me you won't let me go
in your embrace I can forever stay
...

I lean on the door,
and slide down to the floor.
I'm trembling, I'm desperate.
I can almost feel my heart dropp to my stomach.
...

She looked through him,
as if he were not there.
She awkwardly rubbed his arm,
as if they were strangers and she gave pity.
...

The way that he lies,
couldn't make things more obvious.
The way he'd look in my eyes,
and make me feel like the only one,
...

Like a knight on a horse,
you've always riden to my rescue.
When the nights get tough,
and tears seem endless,
...
