Hurt

Heart break

Hurt

And loss

The ache in my heart

A physical pain

Struggling

To find the right words

To express

And find healing.

As she walked towards him
She chuckled
As she remembered
The day they met
Catching her
As she tripped
Holding her tight in his strong arms
His solid body
The cheeky sea green smile
Charming her instantly
She reached him
The same grin
Eyes twinkling
She inhaled his familiar scent
Hands linked
As they said
I do.

Belonging

Do I really belong
In this crazy world?
Was I meant for a simpler time?
Did my soul get lost and misplaced?
Too sensitive
Quiet
Gentle
My reactions too strong
Tears flow too easily
Too weak
Fragile and easily hurt
Still trying to find my place here.

He

He wiped the tears from her eyes
Kissed away the sadness
Rejoiced in her smiles
Laughed when she laughed
Held her when she was tired
Carried her to bed
Swore never to leave her
He only had eyes for her.

Stars

She lay
Gazing up at the stars
Soaking in the fresh fragrance
He intertwined his fingers
With hers
Drew her into his arms
She inhaled his wonderful scent
Held him close
The stars forgotten.

Names

They shouted names at me

As I walked down the street

Left me ashamed

Of being me

Too ashamed

To tell my parents

She called me stupid

When helping with my homework

Yet I was top of my class

He told me

I was attractive......for a redhead

They told me to wear more make up

Please think

Before you

Make a comment

About someone

On the lifelong

Impact

Your words

Have

I've come to terms

With they way I look

For some reason

God made me this way

But I 

Struggle every day

To build my

self esteem

And confidence.

More Fire Poems

I've fallen in love with this watercolour painting by Maurice Stevens (See his website: http://www.mauricestevens.co.uk/) I just love the colours. Anyway I wrote a poem about the West Pier in Brighton.

The West Pier burns
Decrepit and old
A metal ruin
Though still beautiful

Other poems:

Cheeks on fire
Hot
Shyness
Appearing
Once again
To make life difficult.

Fear burns bright
In my chest
My breath quickens
And my hands become clammy
Only your touch
Soothes me.
