Emily Swinney Poems

I never knew how much pain can hurt,
How much agony can come from death.
After the suffering is gone, then comes the hole in your heart.
The hole hurts worse than the pain ever did,
...

The rain falls down and down

I will drown and drown
...

Lost in numbness for years
Running from pain
Trapped in the freezing rain
Constantly numb
...

Watch as this tear falls into empty space

See it fall into life's nameless place
...

I am without speech, for my words are attacking.

I am without sight, for it is clouded.
...

The rain will fall to no end
The rain will fall around the bend

The rain will fall until you are blind
...

Realize that I never liked you
Realize that I loved you

Realize that the world doesn't revolve around you
...

The pain that you feel,

But can’t touch.
...
