Jeanette Dunlap Poems

I don't know why I stayed so long,
Or how I couldn't see it was wrong.
When most of the time I would lay and cry…
Always blaming myself and wondering, "why? "
...

he prays toward the sky
even himself asking why
his mother just died
and his family can only cry
...

My dream is gone
Forever is too long
This wind has carried it away
All my hope.
...

Broken and falling apart
How could you say such a remark?
It's hard to say what I'll do
Who knows with these feelings of you
...

You see my eyes follow someone else
A hand crawls down your spine
I ask you if your ok,
You lie and say 'I’m fine.'
...

I've been drawn into a love affair
With a shiny stranger
The sharp edge it gives
Puts my life in danger
...

A question I often ask
When I get that feeling
When my mind is off task
And my head is reeling
...

Everyday I count each moment
My passion I have to vent
...

This helpless girl
Is lying on the cold floor
This sick twisted man
Stands over her, wanting more
...
