Elizabeth Cobb Poem
She walks to the door of the inn
Her hands in her pockets, frozen
Through the ice and snow she trudges
To the gates of her home
But only to find them locked and her feet are slowly freezing
Her hands are unmovable
And she refuses to move for she is scared of death
Crying in her sleep at night in the snow, the girl, she has no home

Elizabeth Cobb Poem
Resounding heartbeat of the winds,
Resounding sounds of screams,
I hear their need for peace,
But I guess that's only me,
The trees topple like nothing holds them in their place,
And I just cry,
Tears stream down my face.
Life is hard,
But life is good,
La Bella Vita,
I love you.

Pick a wildflower,
Put it in your pocket,
Remember me.

Elizabeth Cobb Poem
"Hey yall!"
Grabs a Roman Candle,
Sits it in a bottle,
Lights it,
Steps back and watches the colors explode.
Later you see Sally sneaking out the window,
She's going for a late night mud ride,
Her boyfriend Johnny's waiting with Mary and Mike,
"Yall ready?" Sally asks and they take off.
Sitting on the backporch with a portable TV watching the stars,
The ball drops,
It's no longer New Years Eve in Mississippi!
The fireworks really start going off now,
The whole town's awake,
Sally & Johnny stop the four wheeler under the bridge to watch,
How nice!
You can't even hear the TV now,
So you turn it off,
The stars are blocked by the magnificent colors,
And you just sit back and enjoy what luxury you get.
Then you see your boyfriend down the road waiting,
The night's no longer time,
It's time to take off.
You two decide to break in and go mud riding,
Sall & Johnny say ok,
You hop on the four wheeler,
"Is it ok for to be down here," asks your boyfriend,
"My cousin's covering for me," you say.
You know you love him,
And it's now 12:30,
You tell him to stop the four wheeler,
And under the stars,
You kiss,
A firework goes off in the distance.
You then continue on your journey mud riding,
Sally & Johnny already gone,
He drives you home at 3:00,
You sneak in through your window,
Change out of you muddy pants,
You don't care about your labs judgemental glance,
After all,
It's just a southern New Years.

I passed the test
But failed
I ran the mile
But walked
I screamed
But remained unheard
I was quoted

Elizabeth Cobb Poem
The maze-
Twisting turning,
Just a phase,
That's what they say.
But I don't believe,
Cause everything I say is dismissed,
I can't help but wonder what would have happened,
Had I not missed my chance.
I lost it all,
A blink of an eye,
My world died,
And now I cry.
It faded and I fainted,
Too much to bear,
Loving you causes to much pain,
Not enough gain.
I laugh and I cry,
But God it's no use.
I loved and I lost,
I missed you.
I turn around,
Profess my love,
And at thirteen,
I'm just in my teens.
I know what you're thinking,
I'll never be the girl,
I don't want to be.
I won't be.
I'm tired of the fake debutaunts,
Trying to be me.
They can't be,
They won't be.
You can't live now,
You know the secret to my denial.
You know me inside and out.
You have no plans.
It's plain to see,
What you plan to be,
You don't want me,
Never me.
I hate you,
Your blue eyes,
Dirty blonde hair,
Your almost six foot frame.
Tiny, petite me,
Four foot ten,
A foot shorter than you,
But so much bigger in another way.
You can't spread the rumors anymore than you have,
You can't stay in that secluded corner any longer,
The hate burns inside while I lie asleep.
I can't keep.
You can't leave me this way,
Not today.
You can't leave dead this way,
Not today.
i'm not prefect but that doesn't mean anything anymore to me,
I'll never be.
You'll never be,
We'll never be.
She can't replace me,
She can't replace me,
She won't replace me,
She won't replace me.
You've taken her,
Put her there,
Made a sub for me,
But she won't last long.
Me and all my peeps can't take over in a week,
But we will eventually.
She shall leave now,
I will lead the revolt.
I will lead,
I will tell,
I will be me,
I will survive.
I miss everyone,
Kody my best supporter
And all of my friends,
Buit God told me to leave.
I must let you remember who I am,
Words just keep flowing from my fingertips and they won't stop,
This saga never ends,
I'll remember the ember of life.
I won't forget,
I won't forget,
I won't forget,
I won't forget.
You won't forget,
You won't forget,
You won't forget,
You won't forget.
Leave it to me,
I'll make it be,
Leave it to her,
She'll never be.
She won't listen,
She keeps saying she does,
But she don't,
She knows it.
Cause she won't be,
She can't be,
She'll never be,
Me.

Elizabeth Cobb Poem
Maybe we should take a minute,
Think a bit,
Maybe this wasn't meant to be,
Us I mean.
I'm sorry,
I don't want to hurt you,
That's the last thing I want to do,
I just don't think it was meant to be.
Don't say you haven't ever hurt me,
You have,
You know you have,
Why can't you admit it?
You used to talk to me,
I was the only one around,
Now all you do is act like I'm not around,
I don't want to need.
I don't like where this is headed,
I can feel tears,
Don't touch me,
It's like salt on a wound,
Your voice stings me,
Don't pretend like you don't know,
I'm running from what I never knew.
I won't lie either,
I miss you,
You were my demise and I love you so,
But did you ever love me?
And there's some other stuff I can't,
Won't explain,
Too little space on this page,
And too much time on my hands.
Most of all,
I want you to know,
I'm still here for you to cry on,
When and if you need me.
I wish you look,
Good luck, good bye.
On second thought,
Don't go,
I don't want to say goodbye when we just said hello.
It's too early to let go of what,
What we had before,
I love you,
But do you love me?
Should we let go?
Should we move on?
Maybe you had before we began,
I don't know.
Right now all I feel is lost,
And all I know is pain,
And hurt,
And I remember your last words,
"Maybe we should just be friends"
I don't want to be just friends,
I want to be with you.

Elizabeth Cobb Poem
You loose your heart,
Memories erased,
Where you stand or awake,
Not sure anymore.
This disease,
Makes me forget,
It makes me not remember.
I'm sad, it's br\urning my brain like embers.
It's all so vauge,
All so gone,
I can't even remember my granddaughter.
I can't remember yesterday, much less my childhood.
It must be a dream,
Because it's so unreal.
I can't believe the hurt it's causing,
I'm loosing myself.

Elizabeth Cobb Poem
Remember that night?
We were watching movies at a party,
I fell asleep and woke up,
Your arm around me,
God how hard do I cry now when I think about that?
We got up and walked outside,
We just sat and talked,
You hugged me from behind and my heart began to mend from the hurt I've experienced before,
You told me you'd protect me.
"You could burn down this town if they made matches from fear," (Stealing Kisses-Faith Hill)
I wanted so much to stay in your arms,
I had to go home,
You called me though,
You asked me if I could come back,
I couldn't,
I was so sad,
But that was ok with you,
You'd see me Monday.
It was Monday,
We sat in the middle of fifth period,
And all I could think about was you right beside me,
I loved you already.
And I could hear my heart beat in my chest,
Could you?
Then the bell rung,
You got up and hugged me,
And we walked out,
You were trying to ask me something,
But you couldn't because of your best friend Ray.
"All of my complaints shrink to nothing, I'm ashamed of all my somethings." (Fully
Alive-Flyleaf)
He asked me out for you,
I said yes,
Of course,
Then we hugged again,
And I felt tears because I thought I was loved.
Friday at a football game,
For some stupid,
Un-godly reason,
Someone started rumors about me,
I had to break up with you because I didn't want to cause you pain.
I screwed up right then and there,
We got back together but things were never right again.
And now I miss you and all I can say is I'm sorry,
It won't fix things now,
But I miss you.
"They said you can't leave, she said 'Yes I will.'" (She's A Wild One-Faith Hill)
