Breanna Stemler Poem
We drank tea, or was it hot chocolate?
You brushed the hair out of my eyes.
You whispered: "friends, like us, we've got it good."
That night we met, my mouth said, “Nice to meet you.”
my heart said, “Oh, I’ve found you.”
We drove for less than an hour
To a spot you claimed as your own.
There we sat by the edge
Encased by the light from the moon,
if you were to ask me what was on my mind
my response would be “only of you”.
No words needed to be spoken
The beating of my heart was all I heard
something so strong shouldn't make me this weak,
my gaze casts out over the water
before I settle on your face,
I've never seen the color beautiful
until I looked into your eyes.
If everything were to change
everything would fade,
still I would not break the bond we've made.
If you find yourself lost, confused
Not sure of which path to choose,
Look down to your chest, a little to the left
That’s where I’ll always be.
Innocents watched by Mother Nature
Electricity ran through my veins
Egged on trees around us, the wind carrying our ways.
I screamed it in my head, because I wouldn’t to your face
When I looked into your eyes you dared to stare right back
I should have whispered, "Hi, I'm your other half."
Fall turned into winter when the ground began to freeze
Racing down the slopes, our bodies felt the breeze.
My face was flushed from the drinks
little did you know
Thoughts of you made me blush,
But I couldn’t let it show
a dirty mind quickly turned pure
as your shoulder warped into a pillow
one hand on the steering wheel
the other around my back.
my eyes slowly close I let myself go
Listening to Colbie sung softly in my ear
Congratulations you broke me down
Taking away my fears.
If everything were to change
everything would fade,
still I would not break the bond we've made.
If you find yourself lost, confused
Not sure of which path to choose,
Look down to your chest, a little to the left
That’s where I’ll always be.
My heart is your piñata
A few blows it has received,
Better yet its pin the tail on the donkey
Where I placed my heart on your sleeve.
As time wore on
The muscle slowly faded
Leaving just a mark,
But all these moments
Make up a story
ours is simply at the start.
When you find yourself lost, confused
Not sure of which path to choose,
Look down to your chest, a little to the left
You will always find me.

Breanna Stemler Poem
They told me to go with gut
and guard with my heart
but that armor has been penetrated
right from the start.
My blood runs its course
by your smell that’s been captured in my veins
release your toxins into my senses
your aurora keeps me sane.
The smile of yours could burn a hole right through my skin
where your beauty took advantage and climbed right in.
They warned me
I’m wondering down a dangerous road
I'm taking all the right turns,
and none of them are going to lead me home.
I wish I could call
ask for directions around your heart
How ironic is it that my phone is dead
I see the plug
But my extension cord doesn't reach that far.
Standing in the middle of the room
all these faces can be seen
I scream out for you
to look at me
but you’ll never know
what my words mean
you glance in my direction, with a twinkle in your eye
I fool myself thinking
that look you gave was mine for the taking
I shake my head,
cast my sight down
for I know when I look back at you,
your face will not be found.
I reach for your hand,
get a shadow
I hold back my thoughts
No one can know.
Your shoulder brushes up against mine
the goose bumps on my neck
are a dead giveaway
you notice my slight tremble
you ask me why I’m starting to sweat
a nervous laugh escapes my lips.
They warned me it was unhealthy
that I was wishing upon false hope
I’ll escape reality and rely on my dreams
to give me a sense of faith
of what my world could mean
I’d transform myself
into what you’d need
but the moment I wake up
I want to be anything but to be me.

Breanna Stemler Poem
Broken and bruised with intentions sure pure I calm myself down quickly before the
tears pour once more a trail down my face one lands on my heart I laugh at the
irony not knowing what is about to start my mind goes black and my breathe so
rapid I can’t see straight as I reach for the floor I scream out your name into the
silence at night ill live through this only if I can put up the fight
The hope I had dangled around my neck the noose seemed to be cut to short as
the loudness of the ticking clock vibrated through my ears time was running out I
felt the coldness in my veins if only I could reach you tonight maybe I would turn out
ok. But since I don’t sleep I won’t dream of you it’s the only place I am sure you will
let yourself be found
It’s a cut so deep it has no end it goes full circle to where we began a simple kiss
still lingers on my lips as I lick the salt from the tears away a tremble sent through
my body as I think about your touch and then a moment of nausea over rules the
comfort of knowing I may never know your comfort again
Funny how life works it builds you up just to see you fall; to fall in love with you But
that’s when you start to notice your throat starts to burn, and your heartbeat
speeds up when your stomach tightens and your lungs close up when your tears
rush to your eyes faster than you ever dreamed possible that's the worst pain you
will ever feel
I close my eyes and just for a second in time I see your face again as I recall the
words that were soft spoken but held so much truth, were three simple words of I
love you. Eight letters couldn’t mean more than they do when I am handing them
straight to you. But tonight I’ll stay silent as I stare at the sky, I sit here and start to
ask questions as to why. Why would I let the love of my life, the future I see my
future wife, why would I let them escape from my grasp
Now as another tear falls and my chest starts to burn images of you in my head
start to turn. I see your smile those beautiful eyes, the way they look as if you’re
looking through me. This pain burns more each passing night and deep down I’m
losing the fight. I’d give anything just to have one moment with you to say the
things I wish you knew. But that’s what I get for being who I am a broken heart
and a life so damned. One last whisper before the darkness overtakes as one last
tear escapes down my face I clutch the blanket so close to me; I’ll be in love with
you forever, even if you’re not with me.
