Morgan Percy: Poems

Winter

Morgan Percy Dec 2010

Winter

The cold wind whips around my face

throwing my hair and turning my cheeks pink

the snow falls daintily, dancing within the wind

each flake a different pattern

just like every person has a story

you take my hand and we collapse into the white covered ground

later it will be shivers and sniffles

but right now, it's a cold bliss

Winter Winds

Morgan Percy Jan 2012

Winter Winds

So let the winter winds blow
and swallow me whole
just like the thoughts of you
have consumed my soul

So let the snow fall
soft and sweet
as your words
flush my cheeks

So let the cold
chill me to the bone
your arms wrapped around me
feel like home

Without Me

Morgan Percy Oct 2010

Without Me

hey there
look at me
I talk, I breathe, my heart beats
not that it matters to you
I'm there when you need me
but you seem to be far too busy
when I need you

so now,
i'll try not needing you
not that I ever truely did
now the world is crashing
because I don't talk to you

I'm glad for your time
but stop wasting mine
without you, I won't die
I'm not the one who's lost
without me

You.

Morgan Percy Jul 2010

You.

I hate you
I hate the way you’ve forgotten me
I hate the way you smile
I hate the way you’re pushing me away
I hate how you’ve replaced me
I hate how you treat me
I hate what she’s done to you
I hate the words that come from your mouth
I hate how you don’t hate her
I hate how you don’t understand
I hate who you’ve become
I hate how you’ll never know
how much
I really hate you...

You + Me

Morgan Percy Nov 2013

You + Me

I've never been able to draw
a paintbrush does not belong in my hand

I've never been able to dance
the beat of a song doesn't flow through my bones

I've never been good at math
numbers simply look like rebellious letters

But I can write
I can paint you a picture with my words
make you feel something more than a beat deep in your bones
and make you believe in the only math that matters
you + me

Your War

Morgan Percy Jul 2010

Your War

I fight your wars
as you slam your doors in my face
your pushing my buttons
i'm such a fool.
you treat me like dirt
like i only exist for your benefit
i'm tired of you.
i'm done with you
just please
go.
how do you hang up on someone who needs you that bad?

— The End —
