Claire Taggart Poems

These raised voices I've heard far to much
Deafening screams forces me to reject your touch
False allegations that I'm the one to blame
False intentions that trigger off my pain
...

My worst enemy
My closest friend
You claim forgiveness
Then seek out revenge
...

Your presences brings fear into my life
I am the one without a voice
Laughter impales my body
I crumble beneath taunting words of your choice
...

There is something unique about the rain
Draws the mind into a state of reflection
It soothes the pain
...

Have you forgotten who you are
Followed the wrong path
Somehow been misguided
Seems everyone has the last laugh
...

Mom always said only as far as your knee
No deeper you hear me?
We don't want you getting washed out to sea
...

I know it hurts
Your mind has been misled
Tears you cry
When all your prayers have been left unread
...

Clenching my fist
Looking into your eyes
Feeling this burning hate begin to rise
...

Here is my heart
Crush it in your hands
Make it bleed
Prove to me the world is full of greed
...

So many promises turned into lies
So many mistakes ending in goodbye's

So many dreams I could never achieve
...
