Jo Marie Takes the Knife Poems

Trying to live my life
Tired of all this strife
I've caused pain and tears
from hurt in the past years
...

As I sit back and ponder,
rereading poems I've written years before.
Thinking of the meanings and I began to wonder
are my poems just impish outbursts of a child,
...

I've seen your pain, and your hurt.
I'm sorry for treating you like dirt,
I didnt mean to make you cry
nor did I mean it when I wished you would die.
...

Hiding something so deep,
a memory that is mine to keep
A heart filled with hate
a pain that no medicine can sedate
...

Pain etched deep
Memories that you wish to keep
I'm here for you to take a chance
Let me show you fates dance
...

You tell me you love me
And how do I know its true?
Or if me and you were meant to be
With everything thats happened
...

The pain is never ending
There is no new beginning
You had your chance
To make things right
...

I talk with my poems
They are my unspoken words
They are my unknowns
The truth is far deeper
...

For Valentines Day
I don't want chocolates or flowers
or cute little I love you letters
I just want the day to hurry and end
...

People come and go
but the memories stay
Whats the point of saying hello
knowing that one day
...
