Houston Needham Poems

The key to my heart
To my soul.
From my fingers down to
My toes,
...

In ways, I hide from everybody
Nobody sees the real me inside
Nobody bothers to look.
I never just tell, because it would kill me.
...

Smiles at school.
Hidden pain behind laughter
Head down in her bedroom.
...

Inscribed inside
An engravement says

'Within this heart lies forever, and you are forever'
...

Fire of a forest
deep inside my body
burns...
...

When your'e down,
Deep azure with a sunken heart,
When all life is close
To be given up on,
...

The glass on your bathroom wall
Tells you whether your hair needs a fix.
The reflection on your backyard pond
Tells you what your face looks like.
...

A dark pit of sorrow
With nothing less
Than mere nothingness
Sits on the side of his bed.
...

Please realize sweetie
You arent alone.
I feel the same feeling
Your heart has shown.
...

Another poem about you at the
Side of my paper thin mattress
I don't miss anybody
Theres a picture on my wall
