Leigh Ladd Poems

You think I'm crazy,
You think I'm depressed.
I'm not the one who had problems
Dealing with my uncertain death.
...

I depended on you for all that you are,
The little things you used to do are now very far.
You know what makes me happy,
The smiles and the laughter,
...

In the deepest, darkest crevasses of my mind,
I get lost and I get sleepy.
I am searching and digging,
What I am looking for is there.
...

Fleeting moments,
Delusions of grandeur.
Tell me the last thing you saw
Before you went under.
...

You look at me and smile,
I take your hand for guidance.
We walk across the shaky bridge,
I'm so scared and you seem so confident.
...

You will not make me cry,
It is time we say our goodbyes.
The way you get agitated and things that you say,
Today you cannot make me pay.
...

I am not bad,
Nor am I good.
There is something in between,
Imagine if you would.
...

What can I give you?
What do you need,
Something you look for but cannot see?
...

I will let you back into my world,
But first you must get on your knees.
Tell me how sorry you are,
Five hundred times for me please.
...

I did not know that you did not care,
I did not know as you threw me down the stairs,
I did not know you hated me so,
I did not know while lying there on the floor,
...
