Mary Paul Poem
EVERY SECOND OF THE DAU I WISH YOU WERE HERE
SO I WOULD NEVER STRAY.
EVERYDAY I PLEADE AND PRAY FOR TO COME BACK
AND FANILY STAY.
I ASK GOD WHY HE TOOK YOU AWAY, BUT I NEVER
GET AN ANSWER. SO I STRAY DRINKING IT UP
HOPEING MY PAIN WILL SOON GO AWAY.
I LOOK UP AT THE SKY JUST AS A SHOOTING
STAR FLY'S BY. I WISH YOU WERE HERE AND MY
PAIN WOULD GO AWAY, BUT THEN SOON AFTER
WISHING GOD WOULD JUST TAKE MY LIFE
AWAY.
I TRY TO IMAGINE YOU ARE HERE AND JUST
EXALTY WHAT I WOULD SAY...
WHY WEREN'T YOU AT THE COURTHOUSE THAT DAY?
I WOULD HAVE NEVER SINGED THOSE PAPERS THAT
TOOK MY LIFE AWAY.
ALL I EVER WANTED WAS FOR YOU TO COME AND
TAKE ME AWAY.
MY FUTURE IS GRIM AND MY HEART IS GRAY. I SEE
YOU IN THE CEMERATRY, I CALL YOUR NAME BUT
YOU DON'T ANSWER.
I RUN TO YOUR SIDE AND FALLTO THE GROUND.
AS I READ ALOUD MY NAME ON THE STONE I
SCREAM GOD I'M SORRY PLEASE TAKE ME HOME.
THEN WAKE UP SCREAMING IN MY ROOM, WITH HER
BY MY SIDE TELLING EVERYTHING WILL BE
ALRIGHT.
BUT I KNOW IT BECAUSE YOUR NOT HERE
AND NO MATTER WHAT I DO OR WHAT I SAY MY
HURT AND MY PAIN WILL NEVER GOAWAY.

Mary Paul Poem
They say I’m a mess
They say I’m depressed.
Why you ask well
Take a wild guess.
My arms are broken
And my heart is to.
They were my whole world
And now there gone.
I should have known better
Then to have trusted them for so long.
My brothers are scared as
I’m standing strong.
He hands me the phone
And tells me to go on.
My brothers start to cry
As I ask god why?
He says it’s my turn as I lift up the phone
And dial the number I once called my own.
The machine beeps
As I pause for a moment…
Then say this final line
“ This is Mary and you can’t make me cry!”
As one signal tear falls from my eye
I hang up the phone and whisper
GOODBYE
