kaylie-ann-yarbrough - Hello Poetry

I try so hard to understand Just where I fit into your hand. Am I the King of your world, Or the Wild, in your fingers, curled? Am I the Queen you hold so tight, Or just the Two you give up without a fight? I might be the Joker by your side To make you laugh when you want to cry. Maybe the Jack, there just in case, For those times you want a familiar face? Am I one of the others, Three through Ten, When you need an extra friend? Or maybe I’m the Ace, up your sleeve You only use when there’s a need. You say I’m the best you’ve got But only when others are not.

The Game

I try so hard to understand Just where I fit into your hand. Am I the King of your world, Or the Wild, in your fingers, curled? Am I the Queen you hold so tight, Or just the Two you give up without a fight? I might be the Joker by your side To make you laugh when you want to cry. Maybe the Jack, there just in case, For those times you want a familiar face? Am I one of the others, Three through Ten, When you need an extra friend? Or maybe I’m the Ace, up your sleeve You only use when there’s a need. You say I’m the best you’ve got But only when others are not.

I’ve tried so hard to get you out of my head All the things done and each word said Every single touch and kiss we shared Flooded with you, my mind’s impaired To only way to be truly free Is by full frontal lobotomy Drastic decision to make But there’s only so much I can take Memories of us hurt so deep Use all my strength not to weep You expect me to carry on As if you weren’t really gone How is that to be When my world was only you and me Defeat to you, I must cede But I hope I made you bleed Cause my wounds still freely flow With nowhere for it to go Expect back inside the heart That you’ve been breaking from the start

Full Frontal

I’ve tried so hard to get you out of my head All the things done and each word said Every single touch and kiss we shared Flooded with you, my mind’s impaired To only way to be truly free Is by full frontal lobotomy Drastic decision to make But there’s only so much I can take Memories of us hurt so deep Use all my strength not to weep You expect me to carry on As if you weren’t really gone How is that to be When my world was only you and me Defeat to you, I must cede But I hope I made you bleed Cause my wounds still freely flow With nowhere for it to go Expect back inside the heart That you’ve been breaking from the start

Not quite patiently, I wait For what? I'm not sure Maybe just to see your face Or hear your voice, so pure One day, I will hold your hand Pick you up and spin you around Get to kiss your cheek again And never let you down We'll talk of the things we've missed Everything from now to then How you got all that you wished And what my life has been Then we'll spend forever With our arms around each other Laughing and playing together I promise! Love, your mother.

A Letter To Timothy

Not quite patiently, I wait For what? I'm not sure Maybe just to see your face Or hear your voice, so pure One day, I will hold your hand Pick you up and spin you around Get to kiss your cheek again And never let you down We'll talk of the things we've missed Everything from now to then How you got all that you wished And what my life has been Then we'll spend forever With our arms around each other Laughing and playing together I promise!

My life is dark and bleak Without you, my soul is weak All this pain I have to bare Why is life so unfair? You left in such a hurry And go on with no worries Not a single look back to see Me fall so completely Into this hole in the ground There isn't a soul around To help me out of this mire So I can build your funeral pyre It's so hard for me to survive So whay do you get to be alive? Selfishly, you cut me deep Now it's your turn to beg and weep You thought you were going to win But you'll never hurt anyone else again

You left in such a hurry And go on with no worries Not a single look back to see Me fall so completely Into this hole in the ground There isn't a soul around To help me out of this mire So I can build your funeral pyre It's so hard for me to survive So whay do you get to be alive? Selfishly, you cut me deep Now it's your turn to beg and weep You thought you were going to win But you'll never hurt anyone else again

When you feel there is no way out, Except death, by your own hand, What do you do? Do you take the easy way out? Although, it really isn't easy, or guaranteed, It will probably only make things worse. So, what do I do/ Keep going? Why should I/ What's the point of it all? alive or dead, what's the difference? It's a zombie-like life anyway. No purpose or reason. But a craving for something, Something bigger and better than what I have. Something I'd give anything to have, Give everything I can to attain. I don't know what it is I desire, But I'd sell my soul for it. So you ask me how I feel? Desperate for change!

How can I still love you After everything you put me through? I was so happy with the way things used to be Only to find out you were using me, To boost your ego and make you feel good But all the while you were cheating, just because you could. I feel like such a fool, in the end Sitting here, listening to you try and defend You're a real piece of work how did I never realize you were such a **** You say that you love me still But we're too young for such a serious feel I say you've been lying all along Because you can't love someone and do them so wrong Now you want me to wait for you? What do you think I'm going to do? Sit here and wait patiently While you **** every girl you see? I don't think so, so save your lies I've seen the light and your wasting your time I won't give you another chance to hurt me Been there, done that, and now I see The truth behind what you've been saying All this time, the game you've been playing I've been the safety net in case you fall flat Now I know I'm worth more than that

It hurts so bad, I can barely breathe Thinking of you, I start to seethe Together I thought we'd always be How could you do this to me? Yesterday you dropped the news My life, as I know it, I'm about to lose You say that you have found another To take my place as wife and mother You tell me it was an accident And men have certain needs to be met So why are you acting like a spoiled little boy Chasing after a shiny new toy? Save your excuses for the new girl I don't have to listen to them anymore Although I wonder if she'll still want you Once she knows you the way that I do

My soul reflected in your eyes I wonder if you feel my surprise At finding someone so much like me Someone with whom I can truly be Not having to hide behind a facade The things others find a little odd What I was made to see as flaws You look upon with awe And where they would run away I hear you asking to stay Scared to hope that it could be true I find myself with faith in you But in trusting you with my heart I've no idea where to start And the way you make me feel Is something that I never knew was real I know that I could fall for you And Im unsure of what to say or do Before you, my life was dark and bleak Every time I hear your voice, my knees go weak I'm trying not to be frightened of it breaking Cause my heart is yours for the taking

I'm dreaming of you And waiting for the day Though I'm not sure what to do Or even what to say I'm wishing for the time And the perfect place To look into your eyes And see the smile upon your face I'm hoping for the chance And for the stars to align So that I can ask you for a dance And maybe to be mine

Ever wonder, when life gets strange, If there was a possibility for change? What if we could alter our life plan, Go back and do things over again? Would things still turn out the same, With only a different journey along the way/ What if I hadn't moved when I did? Would I still have married and had a kid? Or would I be better off now, Never contemplating how? Would I sacrifice the love Sent here by God above, So I wouldn't know the pain? Then would I proceed to live my life in vain? what if Timothy hadn't died? And I had never cried? Would I realize how lucky I am Just to be able to hold his hand? Can we remember that life is a prize That, one day, we will all recognize, And, hopefully, will come to cherish Before the day that we all perish.
