Kim McInnis Poems

to be the face you wake up to
- to stay up late waiting for you
to curl up in your arms
- to feel your breath on my cheek
...

I'm sorry
that I'm not strong enough
to hide my anger
- frustration
...

Silence
Peaceful, Tranquil
Sleeping, Dreaming, Thinking
Night, Dark, Fear, Distress
...

I’ve been holding your hand for far too long now
- your palm is hot as a swamp
- your thick fingers turn my knuckles white
...

the painfilled notes of my song ring out
dripping ironically
broken in mangled gasps
sobbing as the car tears farther and farther away
...

a year has passed
one year
since we chose this path
an empty promise to ourselves
...

I'm sitting here
where we usually are

usually smiling
...

Once upon a time, I had dreams
One upon a time, I had hope
Then my stars fell from the sky
I saw the moon melt in your eyes
...

my mind is plagued
by the stupid things
long ago that used
to make me smile
...

say it one more time.
how miserable you are now.
how much better things could be.
say it one more time.
...
