Tammi Tomlinson Poems

Love,
What a waste of time,
Nothing goes the way you want,

People judge,
...

For the second time she lifts her head,
And see's him kneeling there,
The pain tears through her,
Like a searing hot flame,
...

What is love?
Love is when I look at you,
It is when we talk on the phone,
Its when I wipe the tears from your eyes,
...

She can see you,
Up there in the clouds,
Pretending to be little stars,
But she knows exactly what you are,
...

She sits in the dim room,
Her gown still sticky with blood,
They handed you to her an hour before,
She hasn't taken her eyes off of you for a second.
...

Do you see him?
The tall man who isn't smiling.
The one you said was always happy?
See the small woman beside him?
...

*You have to imagine you are in this. You are experiencing everything I write to fully comprehend the situation*

You.
You are in a room.
...

She sits lonely on the balcony,
Screaming ringing in her ears,
Looking back she remembers,
Her lovers betrayal.
...

The voices,
They fill her head with lies,
Screaming at her to jump,
Fall, cut, deeper, deeper, deeper.
...

She sits alone,
In the dim light,
Book open on her lap,
Pictures stare at her,
...
