Leigh Ladd Poems

Sleep, sleep,
Come my way.
Let me sleep,
So I can start a new day.
...

There are so many questions about love,
But it is a simple answer, really.
Some guard against it,
Others fake it completely.
...

The coma came and I wanted to shout,
I want out and then they came,
The dreams of death that made me feel ashamed.
...

I told you this would happen,
You had better watch your step.
But I wasn't good enough,
And now with what are you left?
...

I lost my grasp
On all that I restricted.
Misplacing control over my thoughts and feelings,
Now everyone knows too much.
...

You brought out the best in me,
Things I didn't know I had.
You brought that smile,
I had lost it for awhile.
...

Where did you go,
Why does my heart miss you so?
The days are too long,
The nights I am not so strong.
...

Don't let your ego grow inflated,
I'm done with you,
The memory of you has become abated.
...

I'm not naive and I'm not dumb,
I see you standing there with your gun.
You wanted what was best and what was mine,
But in the end only your own death you will find.
...

You will not make me cry,
It is time we say our goodbyes.
The way you get agitated and things that you say,
Today you cannot make me pay.
...
