Lisa Pierson Pierson Poems

You tell me you want me
You'll always be there
To love and protect me
From all that's unfair
...

My daughter's new daughter
How precious and sweet
Beautifully perfect
From her head to her feet
...

As I lie here awake
Alone in my bed
Thoughts of last night
Start to run through my head
...

Sipping his drink
As he sits on the bed
Rubbing his eyes
And scratching his head
...

As you get older
You start to expand
You try not to notice
Your extending waistband
...

He sits drinking coffee
In his usual chair
Within an arms reach
But he's not really there
...

My life is like a hurricane
Whirling through the sky
The only peaceful time I've had
Was passing through the eye
...

There's a void deep inside me
Life's drifting away
The emptiness hurts so much more
With every passing day
...
