Lauren Miller Poems

It's like a scene
straight from a Hollywood screen

Boy meets Girl
...

It's memories like these
that hang like leaves
on the saddest of trees
The leaves
...

Between
the fake smiles of Beauty Queens
and a newborn Addict's dying Dreams
Between
...

Dictionaries can't define
Excatly what lies
Between these day old sheets
Stained with desperate heartbeats
...

I've got no doubt in my mind
that this is where you and I
Draw our battle lines
And lead seperate lives
...

Hearts draw blood
Like cactus pricks
And life's still hard, if no true love sticks
But tomorrow rises, and night does come
...

searching for a soul,
has never been so painful before
midnight air creating a tear in my lungs
and this feels real
...

the city sleeps
beneath my feet
the glow of streetlights, cars, and store signs
keep me warm tonight
...

Calm your voice
The stutters in your throat
Create shudders on my skin
Still your hands
...

Sleep tonight, and wake tomorrow to my hands
They will graze upon your skin
I will trace your lips with mine
And in due time, there will be no other
...
