Jennifer Sollmann Poems

Clutching your name
Near to my heart
It’s so hard to forget
The way your eyes
...

Sometimes I think, just maybe I miss you
The way you were overly concerned,
The way you just couldn’t be away from me,
The way you always listened to everything I said,
...

Fragile and pale
Life dissipated to nothing
Limp fingers plead
For acknowledgement
...

Fists pounding the broken glass
Tiny shards draw crimson blood
I insist on contorting my heart
Rendering a painful existence
...

The gentle beating of your heart
Your tantalizing scent
The warmth of your arms
It all drew me in further
...

Every time I think I’m done
I see you and I know I’m not
I’m overwhelmed with a passion
Of an unknown origin
...

Your skin was so close to mine
You were right there next to me
But so far out of my reach
The sad lyrics sang to my heart
...

I pull my knees to my chest
As I sit feeling numb to it all
I have no desire to do anything
I just want to sit and cry over you
...

Tripping over my words
Clumsy in my thoughts
My bright smile tells it all
You’re blind to my transparency
...

I’m overwhelmed
A million words
I want to say to you
A rushing river inside
...
