Ellinore Swope Poems

All around me
The people swarm
Those I know
And those I love
...

You looked at me
Then you looked away
You looked back
You smiled just a bit
...

Wings pitch black and injured,
Cold gray eyes that glare back at me,
The long tangled hair that shines like silver moonlight,
Eyes red and puffed from tears you don't let me see,
...

As I hide deep within myself
I cry and scream and search
I call for someone, anyone to find me
Please
...

You went to sleep before i could reach you
You went into a deep, lonely sleep
Your eyes open, viewing the world for what it is
Close your eyes and go to sleep
...
