Ashley Volpentesta Poems

She yells at him morning, day and night
The mean things she says to him goes in one ear and out the other
He doesn’t understand what he did wrong to disserve the beatings he got
He just sits there and takes it, then cries himself to sleep and dreams about a better life
...

Your money cant buy love, expecialy mine
You cant just keep me inside your bubble forever
Dont act like you know me when really, you have no idea who I am
Dont try and hold me and whisper in my ear that everything will be okay,
...

The softness of your skin
The heat that’s there as your body is tight against mine
The little ways you always let me know that your there
The kindness in the tone of your voice,
...

Your blood pressure is rising
You feel your face becoming flush and your body temperature rising
You feel helpless; it’s out of your control
But you want more than anything to feel human once again
...
