You haven’t been
the one I need
You haven’t been
all I crave
You haven’t been
But still
still
you are the one
I need, I love
I know will be
the one
to carry me
You’ll be
all I seek, all I need
this I know
you’ll be.

A tear drops
falls
to
a forgiving ground
No one sees
that
teardrop fall
No one
no one, not at all.

@ Patrice Clarkson – 2025
You’re holding
my heart, my soul
Please
never let go
For I’ll be adrift
in
a sea of heartache, misery
seeing no light
no sanctity
This I know, I see
So I’m sending you
my love
for all
that you’ve done
done
just for me.

I don’t have
all the answers
but
I am grateful
I do
have some.

Thinking of things
I need
and
want to do
Places
to go
Jobs
to do
Make
videos
Cleaning
too
Thinking
Thinking of things
to do.

You can hear me
calling
you can see my face
you know
my tears are falling
yet
you give me
no
choice
My life is shattered
my heart
broken in two
my lips move in motion
still saying
I love you.

Let me
go
Let me be
in
the midst of everything
made of beauty.
Let me not
see
anguish nor tragedy.
Let me not hear
the thunder of war
all that agony.
Let me
Let me please
be
happy.

The gentle soul
who resides inside of me
takes care
to be
kind, pleasing to all
that
she perceives
to
need her care, her comfort
all the things
that
help someone thrive
and
be
the best they can
That’s what
the gentle soul
inside
of me
she strives
to be.

Heard a robin
today
It’s song played
happily
in
my head
For now
I know
what lies ahead
Spring, summer
then
late fall
All in order
That’s
what I hear
when
the robin calls.

My heart aches
my soul cries
for a time
of clear innocence
a time that time
has taken
to the past
No more to feel
to bask
in rays of light
hearted laughs
Sadness overwhelms
hurt
seems to last
til no more tears left
to sob
crying for the now
distance past.
