Ray Hansell Poems

Welcome to my world
Some say it's a simple place
Well that may be so
But at least, there's always a smile on my face
...

Sad eyes
Sad heart
Sad days
When apart
...

Although she is moving out
She'll never be far away
She'll always live here with me
In my heart each day
...

Jersey City is where I was born
I woke up to see many a dawns

It's not a bad city, it was a place to live
...

You took off with him
Seeking something new
Little did you know
The things that he would do to you
...

It seems for so many years
I've lived my life for someone else
I put my feelings and needs
Away somewhere on a shelf
...

I want a night
To spend with you
I want a night
To love you through
...

Make a difference
Each day you live
Open your heart
Learn to give
...

He yells he screams
He calls me names
I know my friends
Are not treated the same
...

I feel a little desperate
A smoke is what I seek
It's been three days
I'm starting to feel weak
...
