Shiloh Thompson Poems

Rain, rain, fall today,
Wash away my debts to pay,
...

I don’t look like the other girls,
Not dressing in Hollister and AE,
Never shopping at Abercrombie & Fitch,
Could never afford to pay that much,
...

My heart says one thing,
But my head says another
Who would think something
Like this would happen again?
...

Typing furiously upon her keyboard,
This insomnia gathering itself tighter,
No rest for the weary poet,
As she works deep into the night.
...

I won’t be fooled again,
By false promises of friendship,
Never again trusting blindly,
In those who sugar coat their lies.
...

*Author's Note*
I think I'm losing my best friend because we are both moving on into different relationships. Its a sad thing to see us drifting apart after we went though so much together. He is one of my greatest inspirations, and I hate to lose someone who was so wonderful to me. But I don't know how to say it to him.

A different kind of heartbreak,
...

Tall, yet unimposing,
You stood in my doorway,
A knight in shining denim,
Bearing a gift of Chinese food,
...

*Author Note* This suddenly popped into my head. I've been going through some rebirth feelings right now with starting over in a new state. I went through some pretty rough stuff before the move, and so it is all coming out in what one of my friends would call an 'emo' manner... No matter, I enjoy writing, so if my poems seem a little redundant, that's why. Thanks!

Anger and passion
Hate wells up
...

Pictures say more than a thousand words,
Agony etched in every line of my soul,
With every snapshot, another piece of me dies,
Time not healing, only causing more pain.
...

*Author Note*
One of my favorite things to do is curl up in my aunt's library over Thanksgiving with a book of prose or poetry and satisfy my literary cravings.

A dusky ambience full of silent laughter,
