Kim Looney Poem
O child of sweet sweet sorrow, why is it that your lonely inspirations are often wiped away and your dreams are put to death with each tear? O child of sweet sweet sorrow, your anguish shows, it is not with out dreams for the world you seem to know. Even so, you mourn for that which you do not have. You wipe away your crimson tears, dress and redress your wounds. Asahmed of who you are, a coward for who you're not, lie low and gain your strength at night, run away at dawn. Your silver thoughts are all you have, O child of gentle night, hide your lonely face and dream before the dawn is soon in sight. You answer for their each mistake, a victim of your own. Come alive here in beautiful night, but at dawn soon take flight. You have your hopes, you have your dreams, but you lock them so tightly away. When that they seep out, you just let them go, left to fall away with your tears. Why are you so afraid to fight to keep your dreams? Why o child of sweet sweet sorrow, are your inspirations wiped away with that fake plastic smile, and your aspirations seem to fall away in the form of your tears?

Kim Looney Poem
Underneath the makeup and perfume, there lies a secret me still unknown to you. I am alive and yet ive died, and my life is like this every day. I try to change but end up insane, and in the end I lay slain.
So inside my self, I hide this from you, so afraid you would leave. I only wanted you to know losing you would be the destruction of my world. So inside i hide and live with myself to keep you believing my little lie.

Kim Looney Poem
In the loneliness of my shadows I wait. I feel a force compelling me to leave and say that I dont love you anymore, but now its just so much more than that. I cant leave, but I dont want to stay, im tripping over my words and im falling on my face. There is nothing i could say to you that could be said with any grace.
Im alone in this endeavor and I am dying. Its col doutside but its even colder inside. Here I am warring against myself for teh chance to leave and be just me, but this is a war I cannot win, having two sides of me, each wanting something else.
I look at you for a chance of word, but most of this argument you have not heard. You sit in silence, not realzing that it is me you have hurt. You always were the shallow type, and it seems that all we ever do is fight. Perhaps I have seen the last of you and there is nothing I can do.
You yelled at me from across the yard, and the things you said, they hit me hard. Everything we ever were went flying by in a short blur. I understand that there is someone new, but you really dont have a clue. All we ever do is argue.

Kim Looney Poem
I listened as your breathing slowed, but you didnt know. I watched the life fade from your body, and i felt helpless, helpless. I stood glued to the ground beneath my feet, just knowing my life wasnt over still knowing I wanted to be with you. No one knew how I felt as I watched you die....its hard to believe I watched you die. I held your hand as your body went cold, I stood there with you as you started loosing feeling, and its all made me so numb. There's a pain deep within that stings, but I guess you didnt feel a thing. Ive cried every tear that I can cry, and ive spit my emotion out until im completely dried up, just a shell only barely breathing. no one understands, no one. You passed your ghost, eyes left wide open as i ran a hand over you face to close them, laying the sheet over your face. I wanted to shake you and make you wake up, but I knew you were gone, the breath gone from with in you. I fought back my tears and let go of your hand, but, not before they were ready to lay you in the ground, only then, did i let go
