Rebecca Pepper Poems

You lay out your heart on the gamers table
Take a quick sip from the bottle without a label
Wait as the pills make you feel alive
But you and I know something this will not revive
...

I'm seeing red
All because of something I said
Maybe I should be careful after this
Why? It was only one little kiss
...

You hold my hand and I fight the tears
Not because of you but of my fear
A fear so primal it's tearing me apart
Now we're right back to the start
...

War is stupid, wrong
War causes only pain
It kills both weak and strong
Simply put war is insane
...

Once I saw true happiness
I was standing in the rain
Watching that smile so ageless
The face so free of all pain
...

You don’t know what you missed
Sometimes I think of the list
Of what keeps us apart
And I know its coz I have a heart
...

Don’t wanna keep it going
Coz you feel your heart slowing
As the blade edges nearer
And you see everything clearer
...

I'm somewhat insecure so hold me near
I have such an irrational fear
But you seem to understand
And hold out a helping hand
...

We don't have a band on our fingers
But no-one can doubt these feelings that linger
No, they can't say we don't feel what we feel
Not when I fell too far for this to feel real
...
