William Brooks Poems

Goodnight, my angel
Time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what you've been asking me
...

A fall into disparity with a bleeding stone.
Quickly eaten by the torment of words that are not his own.
He was soon nothing but a shell,
A hollow husk of what was once a man.
...

I see how much you don't care
And it tears at my heart.
I see you walking away
And it makes me want to restart.
...

I have found the meaning for life
Laying just below the surface,
Hidden in your eyes.
I see your face shine through the haze.
...

(How! Why)
I had it planned out!
You spat it in my face.
You laughed behind my back.
...

I see you...
Hiding in your indecision.
Trying not to lose yourself.
Trying so hard not to ask for help.
...

Everytime I'm around you,
My brain fails
My heart falls.
Breath becomes arrested.
...

I see it. The reason why I dropped us.
I never meant for it to hurt you.
I never thought it was true.
Now I can't stop the ground.
...

If only you could see this,
How much I need this.
It is part my fault for not telling you,
For keeping my distance.
...

As I'm in my room alone and in the dark
My thoughts start to wonder as I lie awake.
Thinking of you, wishing I had the strength, the courage
To someday ask for your hand in marriage.
...
