Elizabeth Fletcher Poems

Life hurts.
Death hurts.
Is there any in between?
...

'I know him', is what I thought.
My heart burns as if shot.
All he ever brought was pain,
But I would pray that he came
...

You made me out as a fool!
I want to feel irate...
I want to treat you like a tool.
But it's too late.
...

Why can't you two shut-up? ! ? !
I can hear you!
Stop treating eachother
Like you're worth less
...

Among a sea of pain I stand
All alone and knowing no one will hold my hand
The tide begins to quickly rise
I can feel that soon my sorrow will cover my eyes
...

My heart is heavy.
There goes the levy
That shared the weight
Of all my pain and hate.
...

You see my sweet tears as they fall from my eyes.
You hear the shaking in my voice as I lie.
You know my words are empty of all truth.
You beg for honesty so you beg me for proof.
...

Emily Dickinson once claimed
That hope was like a creature with wings,
And it continues to sing
Even through great despair. Fear hope tamed.
...

Life is fleeting...
Strife is greeting
Us at our doors.
Knees tremble and hit the floors
...

With all my heart and Soul
I still love you and can't seem to let you go.
You were there for me through it all
But there was nothing I could do but watch you fall.
...
