Best Poems Written by Caitlin Rockey

Roads of Reason

Thin are the lines between love and hate,
  Between life and death...
  But I'll tell of your fate
  With my dying breath...

I open my eyes wide
 To see through the windows of my soul 
 All those long nights I've cried 
 Longing to know all of your traumas untold.

You may bleed for me
  As I long for you
  Dry those pain filled tears
  Replace them with the mornings dew

They may hold a blade to my throat 
And a gun to my head
But betray you? I won't
Not even after I'm dead.

Weave all your lies
Brew all your secrets
Hiding from the truth breaks ties 
And seduces lowlife miscreants

I walk these dark streets nightly 
Dressed as a man
Keeping my act up and my truth locked tightly
As secure as I can 

The skies may seem to change
From day to day and stage to stage

But the city below
Ebbs and flows

While I alone remain
To observe the possibilities
Of bringing beauty out from the stains....
