Faith Wood Poems

I used to freeze time,
pocket the laughter and hold on to smiles
I'd have the scene carved into my eyes
so it would never leave my mind
...

I'll let you lean on me like that brick wall
I'll let you put your back agaisnt me like that tall oak in the park
I'll be that friend you hold
until you can't feel a thing
...

Cling to the windows
like snow, like ice,
but never like fire
Creeping up the glass
...

Kepp your head high like a model, darling
Muster the confidence to strut down the catwalk
You're in the running towards becoming
America's Next Top Model
...

She said, 'Hit me baby one more time'
as if it was supposed to make sense
Not that anything makes sense
these days
...

You're famous for being the dial tone
and I for the consistent ringing
We are eachother's foil when push comes to shove
And that day, shove came on a little too strong,
...

I got a pocket full of sincerity
and a fist full of honesty
that says the truth is hard to handle
So let's set ourselves up for breaking up
...

The credits roll off the tip of your tongue
and so the curtain's close
The car grumbling to a start
as all time froze
...

It’s all right.
We keep settled on the plans, never looking back,
Too indecisive to bear our own minds
Just one foot in front of the other-
...

As we raise our brows with the utmost care
Toast to the couple as they grin and bear
I almost did stop and stare
at the moment they touched eachother,
...
