Melissa Gregg Poem
Paint me..
a picture of disaster
of Self pity
of little worth
of meaninglessness
on a cornflower blue background
and red brush strokes
signify me..
put me on canvas
on display
for all to see and
criticize
because even
free wine and
hors d’oeuvres
will never be
enough
this grand
opening
isn’t for them
or even
for you
it
is
for
Me
I am a masterpiece

Melissa Gregg Poem
dedicated…
to this hurt
to this pain
until you
ask
me
why?
I cannot explain
and I want
to tear my heart
OUT!
and show you
everything
that I am..
not
the edges
frayed
tattered
because I let them
in
gave each of
them
the sharpest scissors
hoping for curled up edges
like
Christmas ribbon
instead
I am unraveled
like your
favorite sweater
I want you to be
angry…
I ruined your
hope
of perfection
just put me
in your keepsake
box
with all the other
possibilities
the could-have-beens
the almost maybes
but
you offer
me the most
beautiful golden
thread..
fix yourself, you say
but I can’t sew
and I feel
useless
once
again…
until
you take my hand
in yours
and teach
me
..
.
One stitch
at
A
Time

Silky shadow
Reminiscent of a rivers flow
Delicious streams
Voyage into desire
Dulcet wind playing the dew of love

Speaking honeyed endearments
Of sweetest potions
Mixed with enamored innocence
As thy lips dripped bare
My delicious desire

Melissa Gregg Poem
tainted
the way you see me
the way I believe
me
to be
never sure
in this swirling
confusion
you call
love
and I call
pity
the way you
care
for me..
take
care
of me
giving
you..
up for
me and
i will
always
be
tainted
and you
love..
to see me
cry
real tears
not the
fake
ones on our
wedding
day
tears
but the ones
tinted
blue
out of
saddened
despair
for you it’s
all the
proof
you
need…
that I am
still
tainted

Moonlight, soft blades
Of painted breezes
Perfect melodies, dancing
In my indulgent dream
Luscious visions
Within delicious thoughts

Melissa Gregg Poem
Her eyes dancing with excitement
The joy cannot be contained
Today is graduation day
My sanity regained!
Her red gown pressed so neatly
Cap perfectly on her head
Tears are coming to my eyes
No matter what I said!
Call her name, Come on let’s go!
Across that stage so brave
One hand open, One hand up
Tell me she’s not going to wave!
The crowd goes wild for my little girl
She blows kisses to us all
Hands are waving in the air
Please look out for the wall!
As she disappears from my sight
Her big debut’s been made
I can’t believe it’s finally over
Here we come 1st grade!

Melissa Gregg Poem
Why so much drama in these words that I pen?
What about the happiness I had back when?
Was my life never full of those beautiful things?
Sunshine and flowers and butterflies wings?
No kisses from Daddy, just too far away
The hugs from my mom, no love they convey
My memories faded, maybe just suppressed
Where was the love they promised to profess?
Don’t judge yourself based on these poems I write
My mind tends to lead this chartered flight
But sharing with you all these feelings of mine
Invites criticism, such a very fine line
My despair is not yours, nor yours to endure
Consider these words my personal spoor
I’ll come to a place in my heart that is free
Just allow me to be, for me to be me
Because…
I write down the words I know to be true
I write about hurt and the things that I do
Often that connection too strong to deny
Like the one between you and the reason I cry

Melissa Gregg Poem
I never meant to make conversation
Each and every time I saw you
I never meant to laugh a little too loudly
At your jokes, even when they weren’t so funny
I never meant to find a way
To be in your presence every chance I could
I never meant for you to kiss me
The way you did, the way I did back
I never meant for us to be alone
Saying, touching, feeling, doing
I never meant to fall in love
With everything I’ve ever wanted
I never meant to feel so alive
Becoming all you saw in me
I never meant to show you parts
Of yourself you never knew existed
I never meant to show you my weakness
And fall apart time and time again
I never meant to jeopardize everything
By becoming less of who you saw I could be
I never meant to take your heart
Hold it in my hand, feeling the life pour out of it
I never meant discard it
As I walked away with no explanation
I never meant to feel so helpless
Weakness becoming all I knew
I never meant to be less than you expected
But I never meant to
Say
Goodbye

Melissa Gregg Poem
Pulling you in
Like sweet nectar
Calling to her bee
My thorns wrap around
Piercing your skin
Holding you tighter
Knowing what I do to you
Unable to escape
You are trapped
But there is no fight
No will to escape
Bleeding to death
Your soul surrenders
Your heart runs dry
And you love me
Regardless
