Edward Veilleux Poems

Through all the ups, all the downs,
Some will be there, some can't be found.
If they won't care as they should, so be it.
This is life in the way that I wish to see it.
...

It's hard to translate one's feelings into speech,
It takes time to overcome the obstacles we meet.
Don't live life scared of what your words will bring,
Even if you fail, at least you attempted to do something.
...

Why must one such as I,
live my life with fear,
the fear to unjustly die.
It is not what you first hear,
...

Do you see things as we all do?
Trying to prove yourself, but to who?
Are you worried about what we think of you?
You're insecure about yourself, but who knew?
...

So much to know,
So much to learn,
Fires to start,
Hearts to burn.
...

I can't sleep,
not allowed to dream.
Sitting here wide awake,
thinking about what it all means...
...

When I die, carry out my final wish.
Bury me beneath the soil, away from all of this.
The want for love, the need for her company.
Bury me far from it, when my breath has left me.
...

At his funeral there will be sadness and tears,
Some are fake but some have been forged through years.
Through the best of times, and equally through the worst.
It'd be interesting to see who would speak up first...
...

There is an angel in the midst,
She stands beautiful and tall.
So much time spent in bliss,
Left with confusion now, that's all.
...

It's something too many of us are missing,
it's a bond between two people that we need.
It's real, it's extremely powerful,
It's the reason Juliet had to bleed.
...
