Valerie Colangelo Poems

Bright eyes, shine brighter
than the sunrise when you look
at me the stars fall from high
up above us our love is written
...

You wrecked me.
I waited for you in the dark
Where the rain drenched me
And left me shivering
...

I love you more than I care
To say out loud. I want to
Whisper your name in the dark,
Pull my fingers through
...

Can you hear me? You walk into
The moon-lit night, passing through
The foggy street as I lay here
Gasping for breath, choking
...

Though I may walk alone, I am never alone,
Truly alone because I have the world
Holding me steady as I meander through
The valleys, on top of mountains, clicking
...

And I never thought I could feel
This way. With you
It was like breathing -
When I noticed each breath in
...
