Lauren Beasley Poems

I may not have the most striking features
The sharpest jaw
The biggest eyes
The fullest lips
...

A friend in times of trouble
Always a listening ear
And when something good happens
You're always the first to hear
...

In rainy days or sunshine,
I will still be here
Even if you are 'fine'
I'll listen to every fear
...

I miss the way your cheeks blush
Like roses blooming from a porcelain jaw
Or how you'd look around after telling a joke
Like a child peeking, thinking no one saw
...

I love the way you look at me
With intensity that could blind
As if nothing in the world matters
I'm the only thing on your mind
...

Can you tell your brain
To shut up for a minute?
To stop the analyzing
Of more than what is in it
...

Left alignment
Single space
Old Courier typeface
A clump of text
...

I miss who you were
But I don't miss you
This thing you've become
Is not who I knew
...

Short and sweet,
Sweet but short
Love at last
Or a last resort?
...

'Woof woof' said the wold
(That means 'McKenna, I love you! ')
Game of Thrones, video games,
And old literature too
...
