Best Poems Written by Rebecca Lee

Like a Broken Doll

The House is Burning Down
I could fall asleep wrapped in our silence
Searching for the echoes of the secrets we thought we knew
Isolated in a crowd I imagine myself in your presence in order to keep my sanity 
But those sky eyes hide icicles of lies that I’m even sure you were aware of
Distracted by the despair disappearing from within
Insides shaking from the idea that my heart depends on the rise and fall of your chest 
And my hands won’t stop twitching 
Which matches the ticking on the clock
As well as my racing mind
Ricocheting the thought that you had the power to give me safety
And now the house is burning down 
Leaving the young girl on the curb 
Clutching the two pieces of felt 
Containing the softness 
Bounded together by the fragile thread 
With two button eyes
Watching it all fall apart
