Edwina Reizer Poems

Aren't we sick of yesterdays
that got us where we are?
All the yesterdays that got us here
and still we've not gotten far.
...

Many, many times in this life of mine,
I find we're all walking a very fine line.
We believe that what we all perceive is real.
But somewhere in my heart that's not what I feel.
...

It took us a long time to part
and longer to say goodbye.
For the so few hours we ever had,
so quickly did they fly.
...

I'm going to heaven
but I don't know when.
I'm going to heaven
holding my pen.
...

You shall not detect me
although I will be there.
You shall live your life
and not know where
...

How will I fall asleep tonight?
My mind just races so.
Can I desensitize myself to life
and allow my mind to go
...

Tangled tresses,
messy dresses,
that's how I go to school.
...

How can I be something I'm not?
How can I be what I thought you forgot?
The years have taken their toll on me.
How can I be how you remember me?
...

What does the world say to me?
What can it possibly know?
It can't feel how I love you,
feel how I love you so.
...

Talk to me in the dark of night
when there's silence, only your voice.
Speak to me of your daytime thoughts
so I may hear you and rejoice.
...
