Nothing Matters

"My family and friends

Have mostly given up

This can't be the end

But sometimes it feels that way

There are no more blind dates

No more attempts at happiness

I think it's too late

They seem to agree

Nothing matters anymore

Now that you're gone

My world has crashed down

Hopelessly I continue on"

~Grace Marshall

How Did It Turn Out Like This

"How did it turn out like this

How did we fall to pieces

How did it turn out like this

How did our hearts shatter

How did it turn out like this

How did we drift apart

How did it turn out like this

How did our love become heartache

How did it turn out like this

How did hate grow inside

How did it turn out like this

How did our love evaporate"

~Grace Marshall

From my poem, "How Did It Turn Out Like This"

Don't Waste

"Don't waste

Your life

On Me

If You

Don't Think

That we

Can be"

From my poem, "Don't Waste"

Confusion

"I am so confused
My heart is twisted
Between two men
I missed it
Who is for me
Who's meant to be

I feel bad
Connected
It makes me sad
He gave it all
What if I leave
Will he hate me
Did I deceive"

~Grace Marshall

From my poem, "Confusion"

An End

"For forgivness I beg

On my knees I pray

My breath seems to lag

I gave it all away"

~Grace Marshall

From my poem, "An End"

You Gave Me A Kiss

"You gave me a kiss

And then comforting arms

You gave me your love

And then happiness

You gave me a dance

And then your heart

You've me the moon

And then the stars"

~Grace Marshall

From my poem, "You Gave Me A Kiss"

Is You

"I won't lie

Sometimes I still cry

When I think

About you leaving

It pushes me to the brink

But I love you

No matter what you do

You say you love me

And I think it's true

What else could it be?

~Grace Marshall

From my poem, "Is You"
