Haunted


There is something I can see in you,
Within your pupils,
So huge,
So dark,
Dreariness resides there,
Sadness too,
All seem to be screaming inside of you.
You have ghosts trapped within,
You are haunted still,
I see it,
Before all else,
It shouts and screams,
Piercing pain shoots out of your eyes.
Those eyes,
The windows to the soul,
They speak to me,
They cry some more.
I’m not sure you will ever be able to let that haunted look go,
It seems to be entrenched within your soul,
You never seem to laugh anymore.

Stars

It's all the little things, That make us who we are, Taking comfort in the sea, Staring at the stars, Long conversations after midnight, Coffee at all hours. We crave laughter that sings in our souls, These are the things that enthral our lives, Ignites our hearts, Our dreams shoot to the stars and back, Makes us understand what life is all about.

Drowning

You chipped away at me,  Until all self-confidence was gone,  You abandoned me,  Left me drowning all alone.

Image Of You

It’s the quietness that gets to me, I know it shrieks the truth, Every situation is replayed a thousand times within my head, If Ive made a mistake, It chills me to the bone, Gnaws at my brain, Makes me feel a little less happy at home. The darkness frightens me, For it allows me to have crystal clear clarity, Every wrong step, I now know the way, Too late for me, I have lost my way. Through all the broken pieces that make up my life, I see haphazardly, A kaleidoscope of whirlwinds, And still... I always see you. Whenever I am in need, Your memory comes to me, Softens every blow, The image of you from long ago, Soothes my torn and worn soul, Allows me to carry on, At least for a little while more. © 2019 MK AC Nevin-Crooks Love Life Poetry
