Elizabeth Clement Poems

I sneak a look at him.
From under my eyelashes.
Seeing a perfect soul.
I wish I could have him,
...

Love and Pain,
Love and Pain,
We see our loved soldiers newly slain.
...

I was once like you,
A mere mortal.
Unaware of the immortals,
Walking among us.
...

If I could spill my secrets,
I’d tell that one guy,
That he is the most perfect thing to walk this earth,
Because he is the only thing I think is perfect.
...

Running though the woods,
I hear the whispers of the town folks,
Still ringing in my head,
They say I am evil,
...

If you were truly unwanted
Then she wouldn’t like you so much
That it hurts.
...

You were just asking for this to happen,
With all the pressure you put upon me.
All we had was six more months of high school,
But you couldn’t wait.
...

Water snakes around my legs,
I gasps for air
Vehicles lurching down the Mississippi river like streets.
Orange rope,
...

I wish I was good enough,
To make you happy.

I wish I was good enough,
...

They snarl and screech,
In my darken room.

They mutter and mumble,
...
