Phillip Dodham Cormier Poems

The sword clattered to the ground
As the lovely Maiden stepped forward
His eyes glazed over
Such beauty he had never seen before
...

Why do you stare?
What am I to you?
Who am I?
Am I nothing but eye candy?
...

The ice-cold hand grips my throat
My voice too small to cry out
I am trapped.
Nowhere to run
...

Sara was a girl
Nothing special about her
Just another girl in the crowd
No one ever noticed her
...

My heart is in two
I lie bloody on the floor
She stands over me
Never, never did I think it would come to this
...

Why is it gone?
Why can’t I write?
Where did all my creativity go?
Where are the characters that used to fill my mind?
...

I was there by your side
I helped you
We spent long hours together
Then I realized I meant nothing to you
...

What can I say?
Do the words I speak matter?
Can I do what I wish?
Every word I speak seems to fall on deaf ears
...

I need to escape
I am wrapped up in its webs
Every where I go it follows me
I cry help, but it never leaves my throat
...

What can I tell you?
I cannot voice the truth
It hurts me not to be able to tell you
I am a coward, one could say
...
