Nicole Barbour Poems

I live a life worrying when the littlest things go wrong,
will that black cloud come along?
Creeping over my shoulder,
I look behind in fear, little black cloud are you near?

I gave you my all, you gave me nothing, you spent most of our time together cursing.
About the things you were meant to do, things that you couldn't say.
I always felt like i was getting in the way.
Maybe i was wrong to act the way i did, but you always treated me like a stupid little kid.

Why is it that we as humans are able to give compassion to others in the bucket loads, yet harbour such resent for what's under our clothes?
...

Suffering in silence, you should have kept your mouth shut. Enduring the violence, how many strikes are enough?

My mind flee's.
My body stays.
...

a unit of 3, you tried to break.

A mother, a son, a daughter.
...

It takes my breath away, and stops my heart,
Remembering the way you chose to leave, it's ripping me apart.
I feel the pain, deep in my chest, I thought I knew you best.
Surely I'd know if something was wrong, surely I'd know.. but now your gone,
...
