Megan Kathryn Miller Poems

His smile fell as the music died in the truck
I couldn’t stop staring at his beautiful face
I look into my rear view mirror
Just to catch his staring at me still
...

Darkness surrounds the depths of my mind
Blackness closes in
No one is there
I can’t hear a sound but my own heartbeat
...

Circles
Ovals
Capsules
Things that strip the meat from my bones
...

Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful
Will you be able to see through my wrinkles
Can you still see me as strong when I'm weak and pitiful
Can you still see my eye still twinkles
...

Your fingers dance on your knee
I can tell you’re still nervous
You give an awkward grin as you look over at me
Oh God.
