Tyler Cooley Poems

One final look at your reflection
An image blurred, what can you see?
A ripple barely breaks the surface
Your life a stone cast to the stream
...

Try not to think too hard now
Don't let the past come to the front
In the end it's what you wanted
The same desire in different font
...

Is anything real?
Are we truly alive?
Is free an expression?
Just a thought in our minds?
...

Searching for a better reason
Why she's coming as you're leaving
With a hollow heart you're watching
As all care goes with the seasons
...

The mother dressed in white
Her wrappings carried through the night
This weight upon the world
Imperfection far from sight
...

This is the beginning
The beginning of an end
Upon a concrete throne
Foundations built on sins
...

I have known pain
The prick of a needle
And the ache of a tooth
I have known pain
...

We might walk, we might run,
Or just stay where we are
And speak of our dreams,
How we'll make it so far
...
