Racheal West Poem
Love is an ocean current.
Love gets close then pulls away.
It doesn't want to stay.
Love frowns when it sees my face.
Thousands of miles away-
and yet
right in front of my face.
Love is a flower
delicate and sweet
but dies off quickly and no one cares but me.

Racheal West Poem
You whisper lies
-about me-
surly that can never be.
A twenty-year-old
behaving like a middle school girl.
Surly I miss heard.
This isn't gossiping
this is a knife in my back.
Ruining what little reputation I had.
Dwindled to dust-each time you open your mouth.
I don't know why I keep trusting you
when I don't even really like you.
Brick-by-brick
you destroy my life
by spreading lies
with a wicked
tongue.
And an innocent face.
Okay, Lady Macbeth-
you can try to hide your sin.
Try to win the approval of everyone.
Try to gain attention.
To gain trust.
But trust me
sin makes a man go mad.
And much like her-
your sin will be your folly.

Racheal West Poem
How can we
kiss another
but
love each other.
How can we
laugh
with another
but
cry for each other.
When she is gone
I'm the one you run to.
That shouldn't be.
Why can't I be free?
You are the noose around my neck.
I should stop thinking about thee.
Here soon we shall never see again.
Does that greave thee
as it grieves me.
It shouldn't greave me.
But sometimes when he leaves me alone
it does.
His family talks of wedding rings.
I hope to marry him,
but first I have to wash my hands
free of thee.
After 3 years of loving thee,
it's hard to think of a life without thee.
Does it greave you
as it grieves me?

Racheal West Poem
White, lifeless, still
there is no peace here.
Weeping and wailing
the unbelievers grieved for thee.
I grieved because I couldn't give them peace,
for you were not set free.
That night
I slept in the bed you used to sleep in
holding your wife tight,
as she cried and got high.
Mother woke up crying and yelling saying
"I'm the one to blame!"
"Mother, no it was God's well
you didn't change a thing,"
I say.
You know that ten-year-old you left behind.
She tried to stay strong.
That will be her demise.
I am sure SHE will NEVER understand WHY
her father OD and died

Racheal West Poem
What is the truth of the human heart?
Is the heart like a black veil?
For one can not see what it hides
nor what truth lies
at the very bottom of its core
What story does it bore?
For if I could move back the vail
what would your heart tell?

Racheal West Poem
I don't want to ruin what we have.
I've had my heart broken
one too many times before.
I'm scared to open up my heart
once more.
When you said that you loved me
it took me by surprise.
I wasn't sure if I heard you right.
How can you love me?
I am broken and scared.
I love you.
I know that much is true.
But how can I show that to you?
I could kiss you from dusk till dawn,
but I'm not really fluent in that language of love.
I could write you a poem or a song
but some emotions words can't express at all.
I don't feel like the words
I love you
are enough.
It doesn't truly mean how I feel.
The words
I love you
lost its real meaning.
They confuse love with lust.
They do but I'm not.
How do I tell you that I love you?

Racheal West Poem
I feel like I am stuck
and can't be freed.
I feel like I am stuck
and full of envy.
I don't love you anymore,
or so I trick myself to think,
but when I see her
with you instead of me,
it makes me sick,
green with envy.

Racheal West Poem
I am crashing underneath a cloud of misery.
There is nothing left the hear from me.
I am crimpled under the weight,
and I can't hesitate,
or I will surely break.

Racheal West Poem
(This poem is called a poem for two voices, it was not listed as an option.)
GIRL BOY
I am day
I am night
I am Venus
I am Mars
like magnets, we collide like magnets we collide
I am North
I am south
East
West
So different and yet the same So different and yet the same
Venus loves Mars
Mars loves Venus
But we are pulled away But we are pulled away
Why can't we just stay
I hate living this way
My heart is incomplete My heart is incomplete
I need a distraction
I need some peace
I need to think I need to think
He is moving on
she is moving on
Can I let go? Can I let go?
I don't think so I don't think so
I miss him
I miss her
I can't sleep
I can't think
Can he see the pain?
Can she see the hurt?
Moving one was easier Moving one was easier
When I didn't have to see you
with her.
Why can't I let go? Why can't I let go?

Racheal West Poem
Lord, I wanna see this world through your eyes,
What breaks your heart
let it break mine,
Lord, give me the strength
to open my eyes.
So I can see this world
through your eyes.
