Mixed Emotions
I thought you could,
I don’t know why,
but there you stood
watching me cry.
Not wanting to,
I wanted you
to see in me.
Sweet Little Lies
The lies you tell
smell oh, so sweet
That’s just as well
since I’m no treat
Unhappy pair
going nowhere
We made our shade
Seeing the Void
Palpitations
upon my soul
Deviations
left from the toll
of losing you
Or seeming to
in screams of dreams

Thank you Susi! 🙂 I’m a bit behind in my poetry and missed 😬 this being published. Thank you for the concept. It has been fun and interesting finding and reading other poets through this.
