Jennifer Sollmann Poems

Clutching your name
Near to my heart
It’s so hard to forget
The way your eyes
...

Sometimes I think, just maybe I miss you
The way you were overly concerned,
The way you just couldn’t be away from me,
The way you always listened to everything I said,
...

Fragile and pale
Life dissipated to nothing
Limp fingers plead
For acknowledgement
...

Fists pounding the broken glass
Tiny shards draw crimson blood
I insist on contorting my heart
Rendering a painful existence
...

Tripping over my words
Clumsy in my thoughts
My bright smile tells it all
You’re blind to my transparency
...

I’m overwhelmed
A million words
I want to say to you
A rushing river inside
...

A well rehearsed script
I play the part well
Bowing graciously
Hiding my surprise
...

I constantly fight the urges
I just want to grab your hand
But I can’t because you don’t
I want to wrap my arms around you
...

Your words expressing sentiment
Are like an arrow straight through
Pain explodes in my chest
Pressure builds up
...

The gentle beating of your heart
Your tantalizing scent
The warmth of your arms
It all drew me in further
...
