Laura Strom Poems

I'm so confused as to how i feel
The pain I conceal is almost unreal
I love you so much; care for you so
But it's hard for me to choose which way to go
...

beaten, abused,
dragged thru the mire
from the game of infatuation
i was beginning to retire.
...

Consumed by emotion
and full of fear
comforted only
by my last falling tear
...

How could you hurt me
Take my innocence and pride
How could you say
I have no reason to cry?
...

my lyfe as I know it is falling apart
i wish i could be reborn-
have a brand new start
sometimes i think of death
...

'Like a vulture in the sky, you hovered then closed in. You stunned me with the impact; then committed your sin.'

you cut up my life, and left no shred of grace.
sometimes I hate you-hope to never see your face.
...

You look at me and see a girl
With so much love to offer.

But when I look at my reflection
...

i've been hiding like a thief hoping never to be spotted.
nervous with new faces, my body i've not flaunted.
a stranger to a smile. That describes me.
I've been walking the mile and it hasn't been easy.
...

Who would have thought
We would grow so close
Joined at the heart
Like a petal to a rose.
...

i wish i knew what mine was. then i wouldn't be
here. i wouldn't have allowed death to win me
...
