Melissa Koeman Poems

I realized that I wasn’t myself anymore
The world was passing me by
I lost myself in misconceptions
Lost myself in strange illusions
...

No call, no email
No book, no movie, no poem
No coffee, no massage
No one that says: Hey come on, keep your head held high!
...

I’m sitting here sometimes all alone
At midnight behind my computer
Writing, shedding my tears
Writing my dark poetry
...

A warm and beautiful day
It means nothing
Fields full of flowers that blossom
It means nothing
...

Black, a colour
Black, like ink
Black, how I’m dressed
Black, makes the soul forget
...

Again hurt by words
Stupid words… that didn’t make sense
Maybe I should’ve thought: whatever, I don’t care
But I couldn’t because in fact it did hurt me like hell
...

Today the darkness sets in
My heart blackened
And broke in two
Who can save me from myself
...

You see the thing in me that others couldn’t see
Let me keep this feeling forever
The feeling that words can’t really describe
A feeling that goes deeper than anything has ever done
...

Looking for a person that isn’t me
Maybe I should accept that I am who I am
And that I cannot change myself
Not change my miserable self
...

I’m sick of being your fool
Time after time you wrap me round your finger
Every time I ask myself why do I let that happen?
Why do I still care for you?
...
