Lillian Poems


Lillian

Some people leave in storms
With their last words being harshest

Some people don't have to say a thing
You know you've already lost them

In fact they intentionally say nothing
They go out like a ghost

I wish I could've stayed but it's not my fault
You chose what you stood against

You lost the war to evil

You stood against smoke and

Lillian's Echo
Lillian’s Echo

In the dayroom’s dim embrace, Lillian sat—a survivor etched in time. The air clung to stories, whispered secrets, and the lingering scent of suffering. She, the one-character legend, spun her tales—prose blabber, raw and unfiltered.

Born into the system’s cold arms, Lillian emerged as an adult onto Brooklyn’s unforgiving streets. There, she tasted the

Love Me Lillian

Love me - not for my looks
Love me - not for my wealth
Love me for being
For seeing
For sharing
For caring

Love me to ease my pain
Love me for the laughter we share again
Love me for the memories of the past
Love me for our tenderness, hold me fast
For unspoken spirit that binds
For knowledge partaken of all kinds

Love each

For Lillian-Red Turned Black

(For Lillian who undermined my apology- never knew you were of blood)

Crimson was the closeness
As it felt so warm
Talking to you was the biggest bussiness
But now, you dont give me room

It was then when red had to change
And turn so gloomy
It's now as dark and I cant manage
Knows even mummy
its all gone
And never to be

Captain Jack and Lillian

Captain Jack and Lillian

It was a mid-day in May
When red sunlight lazily lay
peering through cloudless skies,
casting down on ocean's brilliant dyes
that Captain Jack and his crew of three
set sail for the magic solitude
of the boundless sea.

Lillian stood on the surf-tormented shore,
her eyes scintillating soul the pain she bore.
Jack consumed her heart in all and in

For Lillian

Hidden from the light of stars
there sleeps my darling dead
and every passing day without her 
fills my heart with dread
her captivating hazel eyes
they used to shine so bright
I'd give the world to gaze in them 
as I fall asleep tonight
but she, a corpse without a grave
and I, a broken soul
I was bound to her and

Hey there Lillian
You with your auburn hair
The wonder of my life 

You taught me some things
On how to conduct myself  
I looked to you in tough times 

Called out to you to save me 
More than a time or two
We had that connection
"Yes", I'm sure of it

More than a time or two
I made you

Lillian Jean

Lillian means "Heaven's Flower."
I wonder do you know who I am?
Life is kinda empty without you in it my daughter.
Love between a father and daughter should be unbreakable!
I've watched you grow up these 7 years in photographs.
And it kills me I haven't been able to hold you.
Not a day goes by I don't think of

Lillian

LILLIAN
She's had a very, very long life, had alot of sacrifice.
A 94 year old widow whose kids are like a shadow.
Lillian is a blossomed lily-pad in the clear blue pond.
She's the 1 Daisy in all the Bluebonnets.
She's sweet and nice.... And never has too much spice.
The sprinkles on the donut, the icing on the cake.
The
