poetry – Kate Cornwell: Stories of my life

Be There

I wanted to know Why you were not here for me I wish I knew why

I want to say no You were not available Do not ask questions

Tears always falling Neverending soft sadness Overlapping pain

You need repentance No one will ever ask why I’ll be there for you

Overlapping noise No one will ever ask why You don’t know problems

I was so desperate I am not proud of my love Regardless, you left

I always wondered What was the reason you bailed It has to be him

Never to deny Be sure to bury your dreams But in a safe place

All I did was cry Because of the rumors you spread All are coming down

I’m broken, not bruised You never came back for me I wanted to hide
