Rachael Patterson Poem
Sometimes
I wonder
Do you think of me?
I lie
So silently
Tears streaming down slow
Never
Have I loved
As strongly as now
I always forget I'm better at hiding than I realise
I expect people to see right through me,
I'm terrified of what they'll think
I'm especially terrified of you.
You should be able to read me like a book
When you don't, I'm amazed
When I told you, you looked like I'd slapped you
My world
It has changed
I was in your arms
Briefly
We melted
Lying in the rain
Your head
On my chest
Isn't a burden
I want you to wrap your arms around me
I want to feel your scruff on my cheek
I want to run my fingers through your hair
I want to make love in the rain.
You are the scariest thing that's happened
We should be lying next to each other
We should be sharing our art
Your song
My book and
My philosophy
We should
Leave this place
Find a safe venue
I would
Follow you
Privileged Presence

Rachael Patterson Poem
Fear paralyses me
As the tears pour down
And my heart breaks
Ever so slowly
The waiting is worst
Without answers or hints or
Even a look to go off of
If you were around I could read you
The weight on my chest
It's hard to breathe
The simplest song releases
The next wave of pain
Why can't we just
Live like in my dreams
The fairy-tales in my head
The happy couple, forever after
Me head pounds
Calls for a drink
Or a pill or a shot or
Anything to erase these thoughts
My hope waivers
But never dies
As I wait patiently and painfully
For you to remember me
I scribble lines
And pray for word
To a god I don't believe in
But what else can I do
Your intelligence
Your talent
Your beauty and love
Perfection I don't deserve
Yet that look in your eyes
On the rare occasion
When you look into mine
Is worth the wait for each stolen moment
You see I'm helpless
Hopeless at your feet
Begging for a scrap
Of your time, of your time

Rachael Patterson Poem
Your strong arms encircle
My weakness
Our energy blends and
I melt into you
You think I can provide
Your healing
The truth is only this
Healing you saves me
I need your attention
Confessing
Dark days, dark paths, deep fear
I breathe in our love
Pounding, yearning, restless
When you near
I am left unsteady
As you walk away
I could stand at your side
We can lean
Holding one another
We prevent our fall
I pretend that I am
Strong enough
Waiting, a romantic
Of antiquity
