Loree Adams Poems

Am I not beautiful?
Does my face not make you weep?
Am I such a disgrace to perfection?
That you refuse to see me?
...

Change can hit at any time
and it can make you hurt
take the person you once knew
and bury them in the dirt
...

Centuries ago you were light
The one I couldn't believe
A mystery within the white
The song I couldn't sing
...

You were nothing but a parasite
A worthless leach that feasted on my body
A poor man begging for a coin
With an empty cup that won't ever be filled
...

There's and emptiness inside my soul
Something he took that made me whole
And left a virus that eats me
Until someone can give me the key
...

How can I describe my love?
What images can I use?
Are words enough to justify
What you mean to me
...

I survived the most traumatic thing
it shocked my world and I forgot how to sing
Forgotten the family who knows me best
but I still have to find the heart that beats in my chest
...
