I walk in glass slippers
waiting for them to shatter,
for I'm not used to
Cinderella endings;
I feel so scared
in trusting love;
Somehow I don't feel
I deserve it; . . . more

Melt into me
like the snow
during spring's thaw,
bringing to life
that which was frozen.
Envelop me
with the warmth of you,
and lay to waste
that which is cold and barren,
frigid . . . more

My heart is like glass;
You can see into it;
You can see through it;
It can be reflective,
as well as strong,
but with one small crack
it is easily broken;
And when it shatters,
the pieces . . . more

Hungry eyes,
aching heart;
Please go away;
You're tearing me apart.
You laugh,
you smile
with the innocence
of a child,
never knowing
I'm dying inside.

So here we are, just us two,
miles apart,
and I keep thinking of you;
I want to reach out,
for I feel your pain;
I feel your longing,
for mine is just the same
Remembering your voice,
your sweet . . . more

Poetic Pain
I have written many poems,
Painted pictures with these hands,
But time it waits for no one,
Like the hourglass sands,
Is poetry a gift,
Or a hindrance of the mind,
I long to be so debonair, . . . more

It's so hard to let go
of this wheel that is spinning;
So afraid of the fall;
So afraid of the sinning;
So afraid of the pain
and the look in your eye;
So afraid of the heartache
when I . . . more

She opens her eyes
to the sun streaming in

Just another day

Walls close in,
and there is no escape
from this self-induced hell.
Wish I was spry
like the gingerbread man...
Oh, God...I would run away
as fast as I can
and escape . . . more

Your kindness is killing me;
Why don't you just let me go?
Why must you sugarcoat the bitterness,
make promises you have no intention
of keeping? . . . more

I toss and turn, but
sleep won't come
to one who is tormented
by the past, by the
demons that won't let go;
I want to rise up,
make coffee, clean something,
wash away the stains of . . . more

I hug my pillow tight
and close my eyes,
remembering
your smile, your touch,
your gentle voice in the night;
I'm so afraid of forgetting
what you sound like when
you laugh,
or the way

The night is long without you
and my pillow is no solace
to the pain I feel inside,
soaking up these tears
that fall from my eyes;
I think of my head
against your shirt, your skin,

Life with you
spins me
around and around;
One day I'm up,
the next day I'm down;
One day I'm sure,
the next day confused;
One day I feel loved,
the next day I feel used;
Like a roller . . . more

This heart beats,
waiting for love's coffin
which will surely come,
for how can anything so beautiful
linger on?
This world cannot contain it
amidst the ugly darkened doors
which slam shut on . . . more

I'm so tired.
Tired of being strong,
tired of holding on,
tired of smiling
to cover up my pain.
I'm so tired.
Tired of holding things together
through any kind of . . . more

Soft as a whisper
you come to me,
amidst the ashes
amidst the tears;
Arms wide open,
my heart is closed,
not quite ready
to face its fears;
I give what I can,
afraid to . . . more

I feel so tired,
and these teardrops
won't stop falling;
Nothing is the same
since you're gone.
I look in the mirror,
and its me...just me
standing there,
loneliness my
only companion. . . . more

The Reflection of
a lunar eclipse
on your face
penetrates a
wall of fire
creating a deep
splendour
across the sea
Our hands full
of grace waiting
