Lisa Matthews Poems

Last night before I went to bed,
thoughts of you filled my head.
...

Although I conquer all the earth,
yet there is only one city
In that city there is for me only one house
And in that house, one room only
...

I wish upon a star tonight
That you'd hold me tight
I wish someday you'll see
The way it should be....you and me
...

I was so down and out
Everything I had was in doubt
They took me, they broke me
They tore out my heart
...

I watch him pass by
I breathe in a sigh
He's so cute, he takes my breath away
I want him to walk my way
...

I sink the blade deep into my skin
My life's such a sin
I don't know what else to do
I'm sorry, you don't want me to
...

Eileen was a farmer's daughter
She was the quiet sister
The eldest to jump into the forter
Always been the tester
...

I want to forget you
and I want to move on
I want to be happy again
I want to accept the fact you're gone
...

The night was dreary as the rain came down
She said let's go for a ride away from town
All through the ride she had nothing to say
It was almost as if something stood in her way
...

A lonely girl on the streets
At the age of three
Watched her parents be defeat
Found by a couple who let her be
...
