I am...

by Shades of Gray   Mar 28, 2012


I am a girl who collects rocks.
I wonder why life changes.
I hear his car drive away, never to return.
I see my life go up in smoke.
I want him to move back.
I am a girl who collects rocks.

I pretend to be someone I'm not.
I feel so lonely.
I touch my face to wipe away the tears.
I worry about him getting in another fight.
I cry myself to sleep when no one can hear me.
I am a girl who collects rocks.

I understand how your mind works.
I say "I love you" into the phone.
I dream he visits just to see me smile.
I try to understand why he had to leave.
I hope he knows how much I love him.
I am a girl who collects rocks.

    Good poem, you can really see pieces of you. The line "I'm a girl who collects rocks" sounds simple and ordinary, and it shows how a simple person can be a mask for somebody feeling lots of emotions, and not all of them good. It's excellent. 5/5 Keep writing
