Elisabeth Perry Poems

I look outside
clouds paint the sky
like your betrayal paints my heart
i miss the old you
...

rocks crumle beneath your feet
you're standing on the edge again
you're fighting for your breath again
you step back and take a look
...

You take your last breath for the first time
of the fowl air that you breathe
last time you breath in the smoke
last time you make someone else bleed
...

you say you're sorry, again
what more does it take to wipe the pain away
you caused my heart to break, again
how long will it take to push the hurt away
...

you said this time was different
this time you wouldn't hurt me
you pulled a new mask out
one no one had seen
...

I hate the words I have to say to you, the words that speak the truth, everytime you make me angry

I hate the way you tell me no, and then go say yes
...

The silhoutte of the red dirt hills
On the twilight sky
The chirping of unfamiliar bugs
In the symphonic sounds of nature
...

Eyes so cold
Cold as snow
Don't you see?
See what you're doing to me?
...
