Our Talks

"I say yes and you say no

You say we should stay

I say we should go

I say there is a God

That loves you very much

And you say it's all a façade

You ask me about right

And why I think you're wrong

I try to show you the light

He's everything to me

You don't understand why

I don't know why you can't see"

~Grace Marshall

From my poem, "Our Talks"

You Offered A Song

"You have my heart
You have my tears
You have my life
You have all of my years

You offered a ring
You offered an imagination
You offered  song
You offered a life-long vacation"

~Grace Marshall
From my poem, "You Offered A Song"

Try Not To Remember

"Drowning faster and faster

Sinking deeper and deeper

I hope he's the one

I hope he's a keeper

You're scared and alone

Praying it won't stay this way

Your heart holds a somber tone

From all your broken dreams"

~Grace Marshall

From my poem, "Try Not To Remember"

Take That Demise

"I feel as if I'm tumbling down

Into a never ending whirlwind

I can't force out a solitary sound

My body rots, starting from within

I close my eyes and feel your touch

Feel your lips and body on mine

Never thought I could feel this much

And forget the passage of time

With you could have my love

Without it being secret

Did this blow come from below or above

Not having you would be my biggest regret"

~Grace Marshall

From my poem, "Take That Demise"

Sorry, It's True

"I didn't want this

I didn't see it

Ever since that kiss

Can't believe you love me

How did you fall

Yet you seem so proud

You stand so tall

Don't you see I'll hurt you"

~Grace Marshall

From my poem, "Sorry, It's True"

The Crown

"Now and again
I think of the sin
That made Him die
For you and I
And I see the tears
And I smell the fear
Taste the blood
Feel the mud"

~Grace Marshall
From my poem, "The Crown"

I Felt It

"I swear I felt it

Something I’ve never felt before

As we danced upon clouds

I just want it more

You bowed on one knee

Just wishing for me

To accept your invitation

And to be free"

~Grace Marshall

From my poem, "I Felt It"
