Sheila Papaleo Poems

I wish you knew…
How much it hurts when you turn away,
Refusing to look into my eyes,
How it stabs at my heart when words,
...

Tonight, you are in another woman’s arms…
And I can feel it.
Nails digging into my skin, ripping, tearing,
Thin slivers of glistening flesh, stark white bone
...

It is but a moment in time
When two lives intersect
And kindred spirits are drawn together,
Igniting the fire of friendship,
...

A long-breaking heart has been broken,
No more painful words can be spoken,
No longer will I wait for you,
There’s nothing left for me to do…
...

Empty rooms, devoid of life
Ancient snapshots strewn about
Anything of value, hastily taken
While decaying memories,
...

The Best Poem Of Sheila Papaleo

I Wish You Knew

I wish you knew…
How much it hurts when you turn away,
Refusing to look into my eyes,
How it stabs at my heart when words,
The only things I have,
Fall, meaningless, to the floor, unheard.
I wish you knew…
The sting of warm tears against a cold face,
The salty taste of sadness.
The desperate helplessness I feel as my world
Slowly slips from my grasp.
I wish you knew…
How much I need to be a part of your life,
To fall asleep nestled in your warmth.
How empty the nights are when I’m alone,
Sleeping fitfully in a cold bed.
I wish you knew…
How hard it is to find someone
Who loves so deeply,
Hurts so fiercely,
And loves so truly.
Perhaps someday you’ll know…
