Madelyn Ho Poems

She calls out to me at night
Sometimes I think she understands
Sometimes I think she can help
But sometimes I look in the mirror
...

Voices pass my doorway filling my room with pain
As I write this sonnet my heart is in vain
Even if there is no contentment, I know I’m sane
...

Wearing what would make most fathers happy;
To see their little girls grown up, tears in their eyes
I thought he would too, but I was mistaken
(He’s not like that)
...

I’ve seen you pretending you never noticed my tears
I wonder if you can still hear me as I fall screaming your name
I thought you could vanish my fears
I know I’m still living
...
