Holly Heron Poems

Step into my lair
This cool calm night
Step into my lair
And give into my plight.
...

This breath is stuck within my breast,
This heart caught between beats,
The tear still runs down my cheek,
Before my Lovers folly.
...

I lie beneath the flame this night,
I bow before my death,
He takes my hand,
And holds me close,
...

Don’t leave me alone,
This dark cold night,
Don’t leave me alone,
In this freezing fright,
...

Remember how I held your hand,
Remember how I kissed it,
Remember how you fell asleep,
Your head upon my shoulder?
...

Sinking further into depression,
Can't keep my head above this ocean,
I just can't fight its downwards pull,
Feeling weights tied to my feet,
...

*inspired when I was doing slavery in class
-------

These chains that bind my body,
...

Hiding behind a smile,
I'm watching the world fly by,
I'm covering my pain,
Hiding behind a smile,
...

Hold me now,
Hold me fast,
Keep me anchored,
To the ground,
...

I'm cold.
You drew me out of my shell,
You kept me warm in winter,
Then you saw another,
...
