Thomas Howe Poems

I can't take the mental strain
It's worse than any physical pain
We always expect the most
From the ones we hold close
...

I toss and turn
The more I think the more I burn
What should I do with this thought
Answers, not question, I should have sought
...

All hope is now gone
I'm just a lousy pawn
It's like i don't exist
Hidden within the mist
...

There goes another sunset
one more lost bet
I finally figured it out
I want to let out a shout
...

Broken hearts, unavoidable
Mending hearts take time
One enters picture
Take a step
...

The nights of agony begin
Depressing as a song from a violin
You want to figure things out
It's you I want beyond a doubt
...

I said I would never leave
You should not believe
I'm nothing more than a boy
To you, I was your first toy
...

What am I supposed to do with this feeling
Endless nights staring at the ceiling
With you the days flew by
Now alone they never die
...

I wanted you to be mine
I thought you were so fine
You were always on my mind
Why do you have to seem so kind
...

Life is a game of chess
Strategic moves that yield success
Expect a few let downs
Remember life has many rounds
...
