Rose Marie Cook Poems

Sister, sister
save my soul
sister, sister
don't leave me alone.
...

Baby girl
I love you so
Baby girl
Please don't go
...

The people in my past
The ones who left me alone
The ones who cared not for me
I forgive
...

Sunshine pours in
Light shining all around
Water droplets fall into
The murky, dark emptiness
...

I wonder when
The shame and regret
Will disappear
...

Screams break the silence
As I cry out in pain
He grasps my heart
And yanks it from my chest
...

You said you loved me
You said you cared
But now you're leaving
As if you were never here
...

When the lights go out
Fear sinks within me
When the lights go out
Bodies take the place of shadows
...

When all that's left is fear
My being is corrupted
I'll plead to you in silence
To replace my every hope
...

What if I'm not worth saving?
All of these poems could be my death
Beaten down, shot in the head
Cuts on wrists or hanged
...
