Best Poems Written by Victoria Lane

In Another Time

She asked for five more minutes
but only stayed for three 
her eyes are filled with sadness
for a world that cannot see
the pain within her heart 
was paid with somber tears 
dreams remaining distant 
leaving only fears.
Thoughts crash through a war
destroying all who pass
afraid of what should happen 
if we felt free to ask
the questions that lay silent 
inside our lonesome hearts 
when peace goes off to war 
and never seems to last.
Yet still we cling to memories 
of those who've met their end 
and ask for many moments 
that God cannot send.
