Marijke McKinney Poems

I only loved the idea of you
A pretty something
But you were just you
I should have seen it coming
...

I look at you
And the picture you display
Is a reflection of my thoughts
...

Glad to be sad
Sad to be glad
Happy and mad
...

I wonder why you
Dance with free spirited shouts
The sun is fading
...

So quietly sad
Can’t breathe
Just want to talk
To anyone who listens
...

I’m the typical girl you meet
Guys on their knees
Leave you filthy dogs
...

You are making my soul shake
Crumbling into the beauty I’ve never felt
Thank you for talking without speaking
I can feel your emotions collapsing
...

Devouring me
Piece by piece
Bright eyes
Eager boy pleasure
...

Impulses of wires
Shaking the weary minds
For I am only trying to wake
Like rain on glass
...

She’s crying in her sleep
The birds are falling from the sky
Forget what’s moving in motion
Let the whole world stay high
...
