RACHEL ZARANTONELLO Poems

A silent thought not spoken
Fear you'll send me on my way
A secret glance I take from you
Wanting you to play
...

In my heart
I live with pain
Yet, my love for you
I cannot explain
...

Perceptions changing everyday
I see you smile & I look away
I want to show you what is real
For you to see how lost I feel
...

A small child's laughter,
Wildflowers in the spring.
These should be smiling memories;
Yet, to me, tears they bring.
...

Time is precious
and we often find
Memories fade quietly
As they slip from your mind
...

Living here from day to day
In my world all alone, I stay
Absorbed in the darkness along the way
What more will go wrong today?
...

Where do all the smiles go,
When things don't go your way?
If you smile at me, I'll smile too
Pass it along throughout the day
...

What's it like inside the world
you live in? Will you ever let me see?
Is it dark & lonely? Do you ever
think about me?
...

Looking for a friend
I listened to my heart
Insanity is a lonely place
that will tear you apart
...

What is it about you
that interests me so much?
Is it the game, or my desire
for your touch?
...
