Elizabeth Ross Poems

You're the queen, and I'm the clown
You call me friend with lips all crave around
I twist and turn inside with doubt
I see my mirror, want to shout
...

I think of you and I ask why
How did we let this love just die?
I called you love, my dreams were yours
Now all that's left are broken doors
...

When i was a child, I dreamed every night,
Of places far off, all shiny and bright.
I wanted to run, to dance in the street,
But locked in a cage, I stayed in my seat.
...

I like to look at the sky and ask why the world is the way it is.
Are we truly a gift, or a curse to bear?
I watch the news and see how pain has become the most common feeling.
Children now watch their homes explode,
...

If they ask me what I fear,
I'll say it's losing you, my sweetest dear.
You've given all the soul can give,
When I look at you, my heroine I live.
...
