Jamie Loughlin Poems

Dear _____,

Perhaps I should forgive, but my main
concern is how shallow our friendship truly is.
...

How could you hurt me?
I cannot go back.
I cannot grow back.
I just pretend
...

I admit I used to like you
(quite a bit if I'm frank)
but our lives have slipped around paths
and our feet are walking their ways.
...

Do you remember
when we used to believe
in the Star Spangled Banner
and the American Dream?
...

My name is Child of Christ
Lover of God
Surrenderer of My Nature
And Holder of Life
...

I think I might get
Caught one day
For these thoughts
I won't stop thinking.
...

Let me tell you
A Secret.
One that will make
you Understand
...

Sometimes my poems
don't quite Fit
like craziness
with a bit of me
...

Like a parrot
Always saying things
That nobody will hear
Used to copy what people said
...

My thoughts are quietly spinning
Loudly whispering
in my ear
...
