Jessica Beal Poems

Dear, Soldier Boy,
How I miss you so.
I think about you everyday,
And when you're coming home.
...

Here I stand,
Crying in the rain.
Watching your tail-lights,
All I feel is pain.
...

I never said I dreamed of him,
I reckon out of fear.
I never said I thought of him,
So now he's left me here.
...

Daddy, I love you.
Why don't you come get me?
Why won't you call me?
Is this how you want it to be?
...

We're laying in your truck bed,
Looking at the sky.
You are in your uniform,
That's when I start to cry.
...

Hanna-Rose,
Is eight-years-old,
With an attitude,
Sweet and kind.
...

Life is hard,
So I've learned,
Even though I'm young.
I've begged for money,
...

Darkness and hatred,
Follows me around.
My hopes sinking lower,
I will surely drown.
...

I feel so broken down.
The pain is so unbearable,
And I can’t stand the sound,
Of my own screams.
...

Pressing your
lips next to mine,
I feel like water
in your hands.
...
