Your fingers electrify my skin
And send shivers down my spine
I’m so very aware
Of your hand in mine
...
They measure intelligence -
The reflection of the mind
They measure your appearance
...
It's such a struggle
to keep these feet on the ground,
they seem intent to fly.
What use is my head
...
Bottom of the bottle
I’m visiting tonight.
I’m swiftly on my way -
Your face is in my sight.
...
I look the same
as I did yesterday
as I stare into the mirror
Just the same girl
...
Your eyes lead to places
As cold and hard as stone
Your stubbornness leaves you
Destined to be alone
...
I am light,
A feather that rides
On gusts of wind.
My feet graze the Earth faintly
...
Your eyes blank and staring,
You’ve come so undone
It’s clear that you’re running
What's not is what from
...
I never learned the steps
to this particular dance
I am a wallflower-
watching.
...
I wish you had broken me,
A nice, clean break
A cut deep but final
With no lingering ache
...
I do not understand, I cannot see the appeal
In what you settle for
Like a smile that doesn’t quite reach the eyes
...
Walking to your car
Can you smell the rain?
You want to live to be one thousand,
Don't know how you'd stand the pain
...
I'm older than I was, say just yesterday
I've retained more information - I've grown wiser in some way
And I can never get that day back or the youth that once was there
It's been stolen by a thief called 'Time, ' a criminal known everywhere
...
Basically I love words - they are powerful things. I've been writing poetry since I was around 13. It's such a feeling of satisfaction and release to take an emotion or experience and wrap it up in a poem.)
An Illusion
Your fingers electrify my skin
And send shivers down my spine
I’m so very aware
Of your hand in mine
And your breath across my neck -
It almost is too much
It doesn’t make sense how sensitive
I am to your touch
But in time the feelings fade,
Disappearing with the night
And your touch becomes a burden
As the morning sheds her light
And the minutes, they drag by
And through all this confusion
I slowly realize
It was simply an illusion
