Kelly Farina Poem
There was a boy I knew once, not very long ago. He could be as passion filled as the rising sun, or as dry as the desert sand, depending on his mood.
Without him, I would go crazy, and with him, I was even crazier.
“Love me,” he’d whine, and I did.
I loved him, love him, will love him, up until the moment I am so filled with love I think I will burst if I become any more infatuated with this human being.
And that’s all he is after all. He is a human being, as am I, as are we all.
So what is it that makes me love this boy more than I could possibly imagine loving any other? It’s hard to say what makes love happen. Is it the simplicity of being in the right place at the right time? Is it really that two people are destined for each other?
Destiny is in our own hands, is it not?
So who will you choose to love?

Kelly Farina Poem
Only sixteen years to my name
and I already have feelings of longing
for the years that have passed by all too quickly.
It used to be a race to grow up.
I can still hear the schoolyard ringing
with taunts of "I'm older than you are."
But now it's a struggle with the hands of the clock,
trying to freeze them in their relentless path.
Give me a rest.
The seconds tick by.
The years roll on.
Only yesterday I thought I'd never grow up.

Kelly Farina Poem
How fast the weather changes.
How fast my mood changes.
Only a month ago the snow delighted me.
Now it's time to move on.
Move on to spring and new beginnings.
I'm ready for a fresh start.
My life is good, and I am happy.
Let the weather echo that.

Kelly Farina Poem
You push me away with your
fake smile
fake laugh
superficial words
that pierce through me harder than an "I hate you" would.
So this is what it comes to?
You've got your priorities now,
whether you've got them straight or not,
I'm clearly not one of them.
Broken smiles.
Broke promises.
Broken friendship.
It's not what you thought it would be-
this new relationship of yours.
You swear this new life is everything you've ever wanted
but I think I've known you long enough
to see the hurt in your eyes.
I don't know what's causing it.
I wish I could make it go away,
back to the way things used to be.
Wish I could be part of the solution
rather than the problem
But you won't let me.
You've left me here alone.
stranded
And I know,
no matter how many people you surround yourself with,
You are stranded too.

Kelly Farina Poem
I walk by silently.
Sit down in the hush.
but my mind screams:
Look at me.
Notice me.
Someone do something.
Someone say something to break this awful silence.

Kelly Farina Poem
Goodbye. It hurts.
I'll see you. Better.
I won't leave you. Yes.
This constant state of goodbye exhausts my entire being.
It leaves me alone,
desperate to get back to you,
desperate to stop the ache.
When I get back I'll stay in your arms forever
I swear.
But for now,
Goodbye
