Deborah Barrientos Poem
the beauty of each sunrise
is shadowed by the perfection standing here before me
I can no longer hold my gaze upon you
such bliss is painful to my heart
knowing how plain and unworthy
(I must seem)
to be a pebble in the sand surrounded by such perfection
how can I possibly stay
when my hand reaches out to grasp emptiness
for your eyes are focused elsewhere
and my heart lies... bleeding at your feet.. yet still loving you
kill me now and let me dwell in this memory forever

Deborah Barrientos Poem
I feel as if my soul's been ripped out
You've taken a serrated knife to my aching heart
I feel this pain so deep
Yet I can not cry
I don't want you to see me hurting
It kills me that you don't even know
You don't see the glisten of my blood upon the floor
In my mind I scream out to you
Open your eyes... open your heart
Don't you feel my sorrow?
I can taste my pain.. acid yet sweet
And all because I can not face you
I can not allow you to know
How deeply I hurt, how much I feel
Still I know these thoughts are selfish
End my torture please
I know that love will never come
Take from me this endless ache
Dull and merciless it has become
I want to hide in your arms
Yet you've never offered them
And now I realize why
I have been such a tortured fool
An idiot among scholars
For everyone knew but me
I suppose one day I will look back upon this night
And know that I was foolishly blind
Thinking that you could ever care for me
When in reality, no one ever will
I suppose one day my tears will dry
My cries might be heard
This pain might be stilled
I know that I am a hopeless fool
Selfish in the matters of the heart
But no matter,
I will get over you, or...
