Tiny little tippy toes,
Eight
Zip zippity zip across,
Wait
Silk strings float upon the air,
Fly
Invisible trap of death,
Sly
Needle sharp two juicy fangs
Poke
Merry-go-round goes dinner
Choke
Save the fat one for later
Date
Tiny little beady eyes,
Eight

I don't feel right
Haven't been myself since that night
I cant tell you
'cause you have your own troubles too
Keep playin' it in my head
Hearin' those words, she is dead
I close my eyes
The deafening sound of my cries
I hold your coat
Pretending to hug you, I choke
I don't want to go back home
Restless soul, alone I roam
Desiree Schort Apr 2021
I saw her standing there
Thin and frail
Dressed in shades of violet

She was looking at me
Through the chain linked fence
Rusted in the back

Where'd you go
I wanted to know
But she was just a glimpse

It festers and it boils
Wrapped up tight in a coil
Stuff it down once more so deep
Try to have a full nights sleep
Creeps and crawls into my dreams
Left me bursting at the seams
Add some stitches, that will do
And a pin or maybe two

I let it go and gave it to you
With a heavy heart turning to new
Ah that feels good, feels so good to say
You take my pain, taken it away
Now finally it is time to heal
Rebuild into something that is real
Desiree Schort Jul 2020
I sang for you
Though feeling blue
A lovely heartfelt song

I cry for you
Like mornings dew
All the nights are long

I've prayed for you
To dear god who
Into mornings dawn

I dreamt of you
And then I knew
That you weren't really gone
Desiree Schort Jul 2020
It's dark in this place
When's the last time the light touched skin
Theres cold on your face
Where is the warmth that you held within

Where did tomorrow go
I've been living in yesterday for so long
How did the time slow
Yet speed too fast it all feels wrong
