Portia Lane

When a mother cries,
Her tears stab at her daughter's heart
As they plummet to the floor
...

when a mother cries
her tears stab at her daughter's heart
as they plummet to the floor
...

Dear love if by chance you ever find me
My heart and I beg you keep your distance
Please do not make your presence known to me
Promise us you will hide your existence
...

Broken

Broken promises
Broken words
...

Longtime no talk
Longer time no see
Got me goin crazy over here
See what you doin to me
...

Glaring at a blank page
A perfect virgin white

Pen in hand, yet topic unclear
Of what will this poet write?
...

Where are you my dear friend
I have searched hi and low
These eyebrows have grown weary
They miss you more than you can know
...

What would I do without you?

You are the glue that holds my life together
The staple that keeps me from losing myself
...

I never want let you go
But ill probably never tell you so
Cause If I do you might never leave
Don't want you wasting your dreams on me
...

Tears I've held in for years
I fear, have been released
The pain that reigned my childhood
has found a way back into my heart
...

In the depths of solitude
Disquieting thoughts
Force weary eyes
To wait hopelessly open
...

The world around me is a ravenous monster
He does not stop to chew his meal
Rather he swallows whole, body and soul
If you search his inner parts for a heart
...

I'm sorry that I hurt you
I hope I didn't ruin it for her
I hope you let her know you
Let her love you like I should have done
...

That's the thing about pain
It demands to be felt
No matter how unwilling the victim
There are no exceptions allowed
...

From loneliness
And hopelessness
Jehovah rescued me
He gave me friends
...

When the heater is broken and the weather man predicts rain
I will remember the warmth of your love and allow it to sooth my pain
When the power is out and there is no candle to be found
I will remember the brightness of your smile and light will abound
...

I gotta get through the pain
The regret that I feel
Gotta get through the barrier
That keeps me standing still
...

Waiting for my phone to ring
Yet trying to ignore my desire to hear your voice
Desperate times call for desperate measures
Just send me a text, please
...

Dear Father,

Where were you when I needed you?
I was in so much pain.
...

I have here my pen and pad
And now I plan to prove my genius

If I can only get this stupid pen to work
...
