Jennifer Sollmann Poems

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
...

I couldn’t even see, blinded by your beauty
Imagining you by my side, my mind is afflicted with you
Who are you?
A faceless being- shining with beauty
...

Lifting a frozen hand
Barely grasping the edge
The crevice looming before me
Fear effervescing inside
...

Slipping under a guise again
Being buried in the lies
Forged emotions lead the way
Crumbling of the truth
...

I revolt when it starts to feel the same
Reminders of a past I chased away
I think of you as mine
Jealousy kindly waltzes with me
...

The ghost of a well used lie
Clings to your shoulders
Casting a shadow on your truth
Your eyes appear shameless
...

Sinking in the quicksand
You’ve got a hold on me
Suffocating in the blue
Pleased by the attention
...

I remember how it was
When she came into our lives
You ran to her like a lost puppy
She was your obsession
...
