D.L. Aceves Poems

I miss the things I used to do.
All the carefree things from childhood.
What happened to that life I knew?
...

You gave me hope the day we met
Yet hope was lost the day I let
That touch from you slip from my reach
And only now I truly see
...

a tear

a tear fell
...

Come now
Dry those tears
Just wipe them away
Away from your face
...

I try and try, but I can't go to sleep.
Night after night I'm just lying awake,
Stuck listening to some loud kitten's weep,
Or to that tired breathing sound all cars make.
...

You were always there for me
When times were very bad;
No matter what the situation was,
It was you I always had.
...

You—
It wants.
You—it needs.
You—give it strength.
...
