You'll Always Have

Your heart is broken
Not even mend able pieces are left
Simply particles of dust
That blow away
That blow far .. far .. away
Along with the last of your trust
Stabbing thorns hurt so badly
You could have screamed
You could have cussed
But you didn't
You refused
You just let them hurt and build
And hurt more and more
Till you were just confused
Until your whole being was horribly tense
More than we could imagine
Is based upon one thought
I have no ..  one
No ..  one
No .. one will ever truly care
Then .. a voice softly says
With the sound of injury
Don't you remember you still
Have me


Rachel Wicks
 

Unfinished Kiss

The kiss that was never finished
In the dream that was unfulfilled
It was still wonderful
Because we're allowed to dream
 

The silence that encases the room
Of where our conversation  once played
Now echoes the faintest sound
And appears, awkward and grave
It was still wonderful
Because I could hear the
Thoughts that you made

Those silly little polite conversations
Those chats and those talks
About nothing really valid
About who did what and where
Something about the weather and what
The man across the street is weaving
Those moments that I would do
Anything to dodge
Those are still wonderful

They offer little mental stimulation
So no real need to pay attention
Laying out the opportunity
To let you see how really beautiful
Someone is and how funny it is
People always have more to them
Than what they let on ...
Isn't it wonderful

~ Rachel Wicks

Understood

People .. People .. everywhere
Stop and look
Just to stare
As I walk upon the stage
Their eyes boring through me
Some filled with joy
Some with rage
Some are aware
They can see
They understand
Supposedly
All that is said
While others confused
How can they understand me
When they're in their own head
They critique me .. compliment..
and criticize
Say .. that is true
Or lies
They judge me with one thing
Or another
One aspect of my life
 Was disturbed
I get out there
 I do my stuff
Always to much or never enough

Rachel Wicks
 

Reaction

A reaction .. What a Reaction
So dramatic .. So helpful
So dead .. Pain causes this
Just as this causes pain
This could have never been here
But you continue it on
To prove a pointless point
That begins in nothing
And ends in nothing
Like an unveiled mystery
Why every one continues this behavior
Passed down from generation
To generation
Since the beginning of history
You know there's no need
Yet you plant another seed
So you can lay
On the floor and lament
With the tears streaming down
Please stop .. stop this nonsense
You beg all who will listen
Inside of you

~ Rachel Wicks




Your soul aches
For God immediately
Because one moment
Is one moment to long
For this grief
You are beyond sorrow
Feeling so silent
So lonely
So dead
Your so called
Strength has failed
And the shadow falls

~ Rachel Wicks
 

However is Fine

As I spend my moment
Munching on cheetoes
And feeling
Nothing good or bad
I'm silent in wonder
Of how I could let little things
Become big
And be so wrapped up
In an event
When I really should be at
Peace
How ever my day
Is spent

~ Rachel Wicks


Tired of Pretending

I can write longer than you can
I can see only as far
I can't suck the words back in
They flow to quickly
Through the strings on my guitar
I could think up an ending
If I only knew where to begin
If I ever get tired of
Pretending
I know I can count
On you

~ Rachel Wicks



To Busy Impressing

There you sit trying your hardest
Just to astound
Give it a break you're not
That profound
All you receive are a
Few silent yawns
From those waiting to
Be played
They are your pawns
Watching the mysteries unfold
Of a story book
Told and retold

~ Rachel Wicks
