victoria driver Poems

Sounds like someone downstairs, creeping through my house,
Tiptoeing up the stairs, quiet as a mouse.
They reach my bedroom door, intend to take my life,
They grip the handle before taking out a knife.
...

Thump. And she falls.
Gracefully at first.
Faster. Faster until she
thuds upon the mud,
...

What is it called
when two hearts
beat in unison?
How do you stop
...

God saw that you were suffering,
And there was no cure to be.
So He took you in His caring hands,
And whispered 'Come to me.'
...

The snow is falling heavily, and yet you are lost.
I have looked miles and miles, and yet you are lost.
We have tried to find you, and yet you are lost.
I have stayed up all night, and yet you are lost.
...

I wake and let a yawning sigh,
The day is dull, clouds in the sky.
With wind in my hair, I set off for work,
From nine till five as an office clerk.
...

I like to walk in the rain
because nobody knows
that I'm crying.
My sorrowful soul fills with water
...

You came into my life and cared for me,
And loved me wholly till the day you died.
Then God came down to save and set you free,
But when you left I woke all night and cried.
...

I saw you standing, staring at the sky,
The stars and moon, shining bright.
You turned and stared, with your burning eyes,
Whispered words to me, that were only for me to hear.
...

Without you here by my side,
I felt as though my heart had died.
Everyday my world turned black,
I never thought I'd get you back.
