Liz Dyer Poems

I tried to change
Unwillingly went into a blinded study
I was constantly witnessed to
But avoided the placebo effect.
...

Smile
Even though your insides are dead
And your thoughts are outside of your head
Even though you don't know what to do
...

The dark hole that grew deeper inside
The intensity of anger that'll eat you alive
It was stored on the heart of an innocent child
The hurt, The anger, The tears that fell
...

From 13 months she has grown
But she never felt so much alone
Tormented by the separation of her mother
Losing something, she would've rather smothered
...

We're all addicted to something
That takes the pain away
No need to continue to contemplate
Or further say
...

I know it doesn't seem like it
But I just want to make it easy
Fly through the one year like it's breezy
Throw it back, no photos
...

How dare you call me your wife
But never planned on marrying me?
Constantly painting
And encouraging the idea of a future
...
