Danielle Shaw Cocking Poems

I can’t stand to see you this way
All this depression I don’t know what to say.
You were once so happy and full of life
But now all you possess is pain and strife.
...

You think that you can kick me out
You think I won’t scream and shout
Well I’m telling you know, you’re in for the worst
All my emotions are going to burst.
...

Sitting here, listening
Everyone is loud,
My head is spinning, My heart is screaming
I cannot make a sound.
...

Are we flapping our crippled wings, dreaming we can fly?
Are we looking down below us, wishing we could die?
Do we walk upon this earth, and think we rule it all?
Or hide in the background, waiting for the day we fall?
...

My heart is screaming, my life is ending
This broken heart, Needs some mending.
I’ve fallen further into the dark,
No more light, not even a spark.
...

I look at you and you look at me,
Without your love where would I be?
In the darkness with so much pain
My happiness would surely drain.
...
