Siobhan Niven Poems

Eyes raw, scarlet orbs;
Desiccated by night.
Burning, itching, stinging;
Like an acid attack.
...

Lightning strikes my soul.
Thunderclaps deafen thought.
Rainclouds gather, pouring from my eyes.
...

Your beautiful face,
delicate features, carved in lace—
your laughter, a melody to my soul,
dancing to Pink, you make me whole.
...

Closing my eyes to all that's gone before.
Haunted.
Picking my broken body off the floor.
Haunted.
...

Feet dipped in the river,
flowing like my tears.

Surrounded by fields of daffodils,
...

Bright and beautiful,
Bold and strong—

Sunlight's blinding glow,
...

When I was lost, you couldn't be found.
When you were wrong, I never stood my ground.
I walked away to save a fight,
Although, I knew that wasn't right.
...

I want to be free;
From all the pain inside of me.
Every day you haunt me, turn around in my head.
I think I'm going crazy;
...

Longing to escape,
Deep aching inside.

Constant haunting, relentless in my head,
...

When words get in my way;
When I stumble and then fall.
When I leave my heart so wounded;
Bang my head against the wall.
...
