Bailey Staggs Poems

He lives in a cell, all hidden away
While she is out here, living her life, day to day
They share a bond, no one can understand
With guards all around they sit hand in hand
...

Sitting here alone, writing by candlelight
Sometimes wanting to give up the fight
God, please help me to understand
How it is, on my feet I never land
...

Here as I lay all deep in my head
I think of my thoughts that never can be said
Alone and abandoned mangled and used
Trampled on, dismembered beaten and abused
...

Its been a week, since I last seen your face
Tearfully drove that long road, as I left that place
Sometimes, it feels like I'm not really here
I have to force a smile, cannot shed a tear
...

Sometimes, she lies awake, with life on her mind
Never knowing day to day, what lies ahead, what she might find
Some days she's happy, some days depressed
Some days she wonders, is it worth it to finish the rest
...

No matter how hard I try, not to feel
My broken hearts, seems it will never heal
I go about, day by day
Hiding all the things, I really want to say
...

There she sat, in her room all alone
To afraid, to even pick up the phone
Everyone had heard, everyone knew
How she'd been hurt, all she'd been through
...

The lonely days, go by so slow
Sometimes I wonder, "why did you go? "
I try to figure out, why I'm so unlovable
Though I know, I'm not one who is completely stable.
...

Drowning, going down so deep
Let me drift off, to a peaceful sleep
Drowning, I completely refuse to swim
Until I've totally forgotten everything about him
...

Deeper within this heart of mine
Is chaos and pain, of the worst kind
So many years of beatings and abuse
My emotions have never settled in truce
...
