Thinking of You
Elizabeth Ann Dec 2013
I try to concentrate on my books and studies,
I try to laugh with my friends and buddies
I try to read and watch movies with tears,
I try so hard to get through the years
But for one reason, or another I once knew,
My thoughts always catch me thinking of you

The Stars Are Disappearing
Elizabeth Ann Mar 2014
"Where have the stars all gone?"
She asked the sky.
"They've all flickered out."
He replied with a sigh.

Like a Dove
Elizabeth Ann Feb 2013
Our love is like a dove
Reaching its wings to a place high above
But this dove that is so much like our love
Cannot reach those places high above

It's on the ground
Where it will stay
It can jump and it can play
But the joy will cease
And its crown, it will lay

Lies of a Smile
Elizabeth Ann May 2013
This poem for you
Is my little adieu
As it passes from my smile

But my smile is this
Just a lie with a kiss
That has you running miles

Winter Skies
Elizabeth Ann Jan 2014
And it came clear to me
As I watched the windows this day
That these winter skies
Are here to stay

Rainy Days
Elizabeth Ann Aug 2013
I see my world in black and white
Painted with shades of gray
All the color has been drained
I pray the rain will go away

Healing Hearts
Elizabeth Ann Mar 2013
Listen, dear, to my heart beat strong
Listen, dear, to my heart's broken song

It beat hard and fast
For love that would last
Until you broke it in two

Now it mumbles
On the floor where it crumbled
Drowned in memories of you

Now I sit and sew
Because now I know
There is more to life than this

More love to see
Another man for me
You will no longer be missed

Listen, dear, to my heart beat strong
Listen, dear, to my heart's lasting song

Hello? Hello?
Elizabeth Ann Feb 2013
Hello?
Hello?
Is anyone there?
Can you hear me?
Are you near?
I've been calling
For quite some time
I've been failing
You've cut the line
Why can't you hear me
On the other end?
Why can't you see
I need your hand?
What are you doing?
You're too busy to hear?
Is it me you're avoiding?
You don't want me near?
I see how it is
How you want me away
You want none of this
So I'm out of your way
I'll stop stalling
You'll hear no more
As I finish calling
Goodbye.
Goodbye.

Sometimes Better
Elizabeth Ann Jan 2014
"Some days are better than others"
Is what I tell myself
Or, that's the story I use
'Till I can put it
Back on the shelf

My Friends Called "Me"
Elizabeth Ann Feb 2013
They are birds of a feather,
Forever together,
And how could they forget me

They tease and poke,
And of my hopes they joke,
They will remain forever mean

They hide in the mist,
And they slap my wrist,
When I go and do something wrong

But stay quiet they do,
When I'm around you,
But quiet, they don't stay for long

They whisper between my ears,
Make me cry tears,
Tears that create a flood

But when I go to bed,
They make me color in red
As I draw them lines of *blood

To Touch the Lips of Death
Elizabeth Ann Feb 2013
To Touch is to Feel
To Feel is to Hurt
Hurt is pain
Enough Pain to lead to Death

So do not Touch me,
Do not Touch the cool of my skin
And so I will not Touch you,
Feel the pain you dwell your moments within

Do not Feel my love, my hate,
The feelings that rush through my veins
I won't Feel your hope, your pity,
The deepness that rests within your eyes

Do not See my hurt like a desert,
Broad and open, but a place not to explore
I will not See what lies inside that heart,
The darkness forever screaming within its chambers

Do not love me for I will one day Die
Death, even now, holds me within its grasp
I won't reach out to you either,
Because once I Touch, the only end is death

Dream No Dreams
Elizabeth Ann Feb 2013
My grandfather once told me,
"Son, forget about dreams
They're childish and stupid
And not meant to be."

"Listen to him son,
He knows what he says"
My father would tell me
As I stared at my hands

So I grew to be a man,
Without dreams I could cope
But I never once knew
The sweet taste of hope

This is Not a Poem
Elizabeth Ann Jul 2013
This is not a poem
About friends
Or lovers
Or relationships at all

This is not a poem
About cars
Or guns
Or politics of the world

This is not a poem
About places
Or people
Or creative ideas

This is not a poem
About swings
Or trees
Or other silly things

This is not a poem

But really, it is

Magic Man
Elizabeth Ann Feb 2013
Who do you think you are, Magic Man,
Holding the stars on a string
You make them dance across the sky,
A hand on the moon, a hand on me

You pull me closer, Perfect Boy,
You're watching with those eyes
You kiss my lips, this time the first,
I wish never to say goodbyes

You thread that kiss onto the line,
The stars then dance and sing
But, who do you think you are, Magic Man,
Holding my heart on a string?
Elizabeth Ann Feb 2013
Oh, sweet little heart,
Why must you cry
Why shake and quiver
As though you'll die

You once beat strong,
So full of hope
You never once thought
One day you'd mope

So full of feelings
Of hurt and anger
Sometimes pondering
If they'll put you in danger

There is no where left
For you to go
No place of laughter,
But this you know

But do not cry any longer,
And of these feelings, don't fear
Look to the future and see,
The end of pain is near

So put down the knife and sword,
Put away those words of hate
For help, I promise, is on the way,
And not a second too late

The worst has come and gone,
This is now a time to heal
Let them put their arms around,
So love and hope you'll feel


Scarred and bruised you'll forever be,
With stitches up the side
But scars and bruises are much better, my heart,
Than if you would have died

Cannot Sleep
Elizabeth Ann Aug 2013
I cannot sleep
It's 1 a.m.
So I'll just weep
'Till it's morning again

Boy of Smiles
Elizabeth Ann Jun 2013
Boy of smiles
Who knows no fears
Boy of kisses
Who wipes my tears
Boy of laughs
Who knows it all
Boy of hugs
Who awaits my call

Boy of love
Boy of dance
Boy of music
Boy of happiness

Boy is he
Who much loves me
But I have used
This boy for me
Regrets of having used someone for a feeling.
I'm sorry.

Stolen Hearts
Elizabeth Ann Feb 2013
Steal my heart and hope to die
Promise to tell me every lie
I can't believe those cold blue eyes
Listen, dear, to my faithful sighs

These Moments
Elizabeth Ann Feb 2013
Nibble my ear
And kiss my eyes
Hum me the tune
Of that sweet lullaby

Your hand in mine
And mine in yours
It's those moments with you
My small heart adores

Watching the Universe
Elizabeth Ann Mar 2013
Sometimes when it's dark
I pull off to the side
I get out of my car
To look up at the sky

Sometimes I'll see many things
Glistening in the night
Other times I'll see nothing
But scattered shots of light

I listen to the universe
As it sings its lonely song
I watch as the universe
Slowly drifts along

I do this to remember
I am very small
Because sometimes I like to think
That I am very tall

Thinking Again
Elizabeth Ann Aug 2013
What am I
Thinking?
What am I
Thinking?
My thoughts are alive
Turned to dreams
Dreams that leave me
Tossing
Turning
Tossing
Turning
All night long



What am I
Thinking?
What am I
Thinking?
These thoughts of old
Have come back to haunt
These thoughts of old
Have returned to taunt
To keep me
Hurting
Crying
Creeping
Weeping
Searching
Lusting
Thinking
THINK­ING

This Is Winter
Elizabeth Ann Feb 2013
Sleep sweet dreams

Of days with snow,

And  angels of cold

That freeze your toes,

Frozen men with

Smile of coal,

Days of laughter

Grow never old

Remember... What?
Elizabeth Ann Apr 2013
Sometimes I forget
What matters anymore
So I must remember
I must remember...
Remember...

Remember what?

— The End —
