Sarah Shifflet Poems

I'm drinking again, because it seems to be alcohol is my only true friend
It's here when I need it most, it makes me feel better with only a cup or so. However the truth still remains that im simply just hiding the pain.
I'm hiding the fact that my heart is indeed black
people tell me I dont need that, refering to the alcohol of coarse
...

Im gonna be honest with you, I wanna be more than friends
I wanna be yours again, I'm not gonna pretend that I havent been sufferein because I have, without you i've never been so sad
What will it take to be yours again? because being without you I surely do hate. You've been on my mind, since the last time we spoke online
No this isn't a joke i'm not lyin. However I might start cryin
...

I've been told my poetry is like the ocean
My words flow and cause a commotion
people tell me I should be a professional poet
that my poems are too good for the world not to know it
...

The sorrow in this world is tremedous
what will it take to mend this? , this hurt
if we try our best to fix things somethings bound to work.
We can't give up, if we do were sh*t outta luck.
...

Lets party like fools, lets go out and break the rules
if you have school tommorow don't go, because one day missed wont cause much sorrow. If you have work take the day off, have some fun, go out and play golf, or if that isn't your thing, get drunk and sing.
It's time to party like fools, go out to the bar and shoot some pool, forget work and forget school.
I say life isn't worth living if your not doing it for fun
...

I Should have stopped you from leaving
now im left here alone and grieving.
I thought we were for eternity
I thought you told me not to worry
...

I remember it like it was yesterday
the day you walked away
I should have ran after you and begged you to stay
now look where we are today
...

So im sitting here by myself
staring at an empty shelf
Im so alone, no one by my side
or to talk to on the phone
...
