Look Right Through Me

Look Right Through Me
I looked in your eyes, and what did I see
That clearly you were not thinking ‘bout me
What is it about me, I really must ask
That makes you look past me, like I wear a mask

You know you can trust me
That your confidence I’ll keep
I am always loyal, faithful to friends
That’s where it stops, yes, that’s where it ends

I never saw this coming, though
In fact, I don’t even want you to know
So why am I feeling this, what did I see
I felt like we had a sweet chemistry

I can’t even mention this-feel like a fool
I know I can’t do it, which just isn’t cool
I put feelings to paper to shelter my heart
I have to protect me, I have to be smart

I find it amazing that I’m here to write
To mention my feelings, these feelings I fight
It seems pretty silly, the way that I feel
So, silly in fact, perhaps it’s not real?

Just what am I thinking- I’m sharing my heart
To people unlikely- that isn’t too smart
I’m sure in the long run, it’s better this way
But, honestly, I really hoped you would stay!

Forbidden Mention

Forbidden Mention What causes your family to bury the past? To hide from the truth, don’t want it to last Is it better to bury the problems of old? I found out its lies I have always been told. I wondered what the whispering was all about It sent chills up my spine~ I wanted to shout Curiosity left me uneasy and scared I knew there was something that should have been shared. Now turn the clock forward, this mess I must fix The damage is done; I am scarred by the mix The secrets are buried so deep in the ground Is there hope that my history can someday be unbound? I was raised in a family so bound by abuse There were such evil things that were unspoken, obtuse We lived in a dungeon without any key As children we just had no option to flee. The secrets were buried, or so they did think I vow to disclose all these stories in ink These demons, they need to be torn from my life No more generations will carry this strife. If your life has been stable, with love and support Don’t pretend that

Oh, Gentle Heart

Oh, Gentle Heart When I looked into your eyes That Monday back in May I saw the stars that light your soul That very special day. I saw each chance as special Each chance you took me to That place where I could be myself And feel so peaceful next to you. As days passed by my heart would flutter At the thought I’d see your face I longed to see those stars again To journey to that place. Your gentle nature touched my heart It left me wanting more To open up your soul to me Was something to adore. I consider myself so lucky That you’ve touched my heart so deep I will treasure you in the palm of my hand Even when I sleep! Vickie Skowronski ~Copyright 1998
