Bridget Bruns Poem
Sadness with no thought
as to how it came,
dream of just the other day
when it wasn't this way.
Crying with no tears
heart loving
without fear.
One two three
the seconds tick by
as I picture
you by my side.
I smile
sad and sweet
at the same time
it must be.
The thought of you
makes me happy
but the reality
makes me blue.
Even as my head
is up in the clouds
another day ticks by.
You're still there
and I'm still here
forever that way
I think it will stay.

Bridget Bruns Poem
I saw the house,
bare bereft
only THAT room left.
Gone are my books
gone is my bed
but the rape stays the same.
All of the cruel games
I, unknowingly, played.
Younger siblings' and
friend's pleading eyes,
make him stop!
I'm so sorry
I can't help,
or else
it will only be me
instead of you.
Pink walls
where I drew in pencil
but the crimes cannot be erased.
Standing naked on display
no hair yet upon
my trembling body.
He's pointing out my personal anatomy
as if he's some teacher.
Please, just let them go!
After learning of Hitler
and the Jews, I drew their star
hoping he'd be tortured too.
Sixteen years later,
and still in my mind
that accursed room is always the same.

Bridget Bruns Poem
Alone in the world
he makes his way
no one to show him
right from wrong.
Beaten and abused
he rises above
the ashes of the past
covered in bruises and blood.
Sobbing and heartbroke
he screams his pain
out to a god
his baby in hold
Wishing to change the past
praying for a new life
his little girl there remains
dead and cold
He vented his anger
and killed his little jewel
the gem of his eye
his pain
now forever immortalized
in those diamond tears.

Bridget Bruns Poem
My world goes around
butterflies in my belly
thinking of you
smile upon my face
Head in the sky
heart in your hands
soul soaring high
Dreaming so big
wishing so much
smiling just because
I know you
Laughing for no more
reason than
I love talking to you
Blushing and giggling
because you make me
feel so young
and shy again
smiling
thinking of you
laughing
head in clouds
never wanting
it to end

Bridget Bruns Poem
Communicating silence
louder than any word
more painful that any wound
Dreaming fantasies
never to become real
another scar that won't heal
Needing love
looking in all the wrong places
still my heart races
Seeing life
quickly passing me by
no matter how I try
Feeling him
wrapping arms tight
finally everything's alright
Experiencing life
without him here
remains still incomplete

Bridget Bruns Poem
Fury of the mind
happiness left behind
anger consuming.
Violence in mind,
smiles I can not find
hate resuming.
Thoughts racing
hopes erasing
hands still.
Sharp blade tracing
wrists, hesitating
living with no thrill.
Broken and tattered,
my heart is shattered
I cry and heave.
You always mattered
feelings scattered
please, don't leave.
Rocking back and forth,
my worth
you didn't see,
this is the end of me.

Bridget Bruns Poem
Beating drum resounding,
common thoughts confounding.
Emotions striped bare
confusion is there.
Feeling for him
whilst knowing,
this love may
not be worth showing.
Chances slim
yet hope begins.
Ignoring past,
heart beating fast.
Woefully smitten
by love
I was bitten.
Dreams of fantasy
hopes for ecstasy,
just wanting
you next to me.
Night fades to day
and again
he vanishes away.

Bridget Bruns Poem
Across land
across sea,
my heart seems to be.
Ignoring lies
ignoring truth,
thoughts turn to you.
Racing time
racing heart,
hoping to be a part.
Lights on
lights off,
thinking of you, not enough.
Heart open
heart closed,
him I want the most.

Bridget Bruns Poem
Sitting here thinking
wasting time
is that all I am?
holding back my tears
like you never held my hand.
Being stupid one more time
on another not to be mine
my tears go unshed
words that can't be unsaid
Splintered heart
that he's tearing apart
crying again
as I have since then
Can't ignore the pain
can't hide it's stain
it's already to late
just can't concentrate
On work or study
to you
am I no more
than a waste of time?

Bridget Bruns Poem
Silent screams
stupid dreams
I knew not to
fall for you.
I'm a wishful girl
in an unfair world,
in my fantasy
I wish to be.
For in reality
never will there be,
any true you and me.
Even though I know,
tears still flow,
down my cheeks
to the floor.
I should dream
of you no more,
and yet I know
this feeling
will not go.
Loving you
I knew better
than to do.
It is to late
to turn back fate
I'm just a stupid girl
in a too big world.
