Ashley Davis Poems

Different turns
No way of knowing
Which way I'm going
Pain that comes and goes
...

I walk the darkened path
Straight and narrow
Knowing only that I have to keep going
I'm tired of pretending that things are perfect
...

The night was calm but there were people everywhere.
I couldn't escape them
but part of me didn't want to.
I ran but they always followed.
...

I look back and see
All the pain he caused me
The hatred he didn't hide
All the times that I cried
...

Hopelessly I wait
Not knowing what there is to come,
Feeling as though this is the end,
All I can do is wait.
...

At times like these I think isolation is my way out
Holding on even though my mind is full of doubt
Confusion of the heart instead of the brain
Wishing i had someone to help me stay sane
...

Try to see it in my eyes
The pain you didn't realize
You criticize me for who I am
Since I am not an innocent lamb.
...

I'm a good girl
Smiling, laughing, making jokes
Looking at the glass as half full
Painting a nice picture...
...

I wake up screaming, I see him in my dreams
I can't breathe, he seems so real to me.
He lost my hand, I lost my heart.
Time ticks by but I still weep,
...

I was pissed and upset
I wanted to do something...
Anything!
To hurt and disappoint them like they did me.
