Elaine Harris Poems

I asked the sky to cry for me
my tearducts have run dry
the thoughts tear at me in my head
till I feel like I could die
...

What a great day it is
when our world is full of joy
It's a blessing to have memories
that nothing can destroy
...

There's a room that I live in
here inside my head
rage leashed by chemicals
hanging on by a thread
...

'Why? ' is the question
in our mind
the helpless thought
from all humankind
...

Pain is the only emotion
that i can still feel.

If that goes away
...

Yesterday I had a son
Today a memory
Three shots and it was done
Tore apart our family
...

There's war in our streets
senseless murders are numbered
families shattered in grief
struggling to remember
...
