Marly Little Poems

You asked me what I wanted
And I kept my mouth shut
You repeated your question
And I gave you that look
...

Before you let me go
Kiss my forehead once more
Tell me you don’t adore me
And that this isn’t love
...

She carries herself on a pedestal
Because that’s where someone once placed her.
She strives to be the best at everything
but falls short of what she’s not.
...

I keep the tears locked deep inside
But when I get home all I do is cry
Why do I cause my self, this pain?
Every time I hear your name
...
