D.L. Aceves Poems

I miss the things I used to do.
All the carefree things from childhood.
What happened to that life I knew?
...

You gave me hope the day we met
Yet hope was lost the day I let
That touch from you slip from my reach
And only now I truly see
...

a tear

a tear fell
...

Come now
Dry those tears
Just wipe them away
Away from your face
...

I try and try, but I can't go to sleep.
Night after night I'm just lying awake,
Stuck listening to some loud kitten's weep,
Or to that tired breathing sound all cars make.
...

If I died,
But then came back.
What would I look like?
What would I be?
...

You were always there for me
When times were very bad;
No matter what the situation was,
It was you I always had.
...
