Poems by Catherine Lamberton

The One Who Got Away

The poem is about losing a love you thought at one point you would build a life with. The one who you have it all to but wasn't able to hold up their end of the relationship. It's about heartache and the what ifs and what could have beens.

My mind always wanders,
Off to another day.
To Words left unspoken.
To The one that got away.

My mind always wanders,
Off to another day.
To Words left unspoken.
To The one that got away.

It takes me to what ifs.
Memories never made.
A future that won't be written,
For a part you never played.

Drowning In Your Lies

Being in a relationship with someone who lies and cheats is extremely toxic. It can become obsessive and alter who you know yourself to be. Not to mention who you thought this person to be.

in Heartbreak Poems

Twisted tales of us,
Created in your head.
So far from our reality,
Disillusion steady fed.

Twisted tales of us,
Created in your head.
So far from our reality,
Disillusion steady fed.

Speaking half truths,
While weaving in your lies.
Self doubt and confusion,
the start of my demise.

You watch as I suffocate,
beneath your deceitful ways.
Gasping for air and truth...
Never to lose your gaze.

Nothing To Fear

Healing Your Inner Child Poem

in Fear Poems

You poor little girl,
You never grew up.
Trapped in this vessel,
Your feelings erupt.

You poor little girl,
You never grew up.
Trapped in this vessel,
Your feelings erupt.

Lost in the shuffle,
Daddy's love you desired.
Always the best,
Yet nothing transpired.

Worry and fear,
Only emotions you knew.
Hidden from the world,
No one had a clue.

Your smile was false,
You lived such a lie.
You did what you had to,
Anything to get by.

The fear, the sadness,
The doubt never ceased.
Tucked deep inside,
The anxiety increased.

Haunted by your feelings,
Reckless you became.
Adding to the chaos,
Guilt, hurt, and shame.

You poor little girl,
I know you are here.
I'll take care of you now.
There's nothing more to fear.

I agree with you. I believe it's reassuring to many that there's hope for a child's fear to end as an adult, that our fears can end for we're now grown enough to care for ourselves the way we...

Feeling Lost And Unsure Of Who You Are

in Mental Illness Poems

Never knowing,
Always seeking
happiness and approval,
even the words I am speaking.

Never knowing,
Always seeking
happiness and approval,
even the words I am speaking.

Constantly doubting
my choices, my actions.
Succumbing to fixes,
for temporary satisfaction.

Overwhelming anxiety,
illuminated by fear,
controlling my life.
Who I'm becoming is unclear.

Pieces Forever Missing
- Published: September 2017
Dealing With Death Years Later

in Sister Death Poems

Four years have now passed,
my heart's still not whole.
Pieces forever missing,
with your death, they were stolen.

Four years have now passed,
my heart's still not whole.
Pieces forever missing,
with your death, they were stolen.

The beginning proved the toughest.
Depression sunk in hard.
Just went through the motions,
yet eternally to be scarred.

Reminded through your pictures
of the life that you once knew.
Your smile ever so captivating,
those eyes of ocean blue.

Your presence is a constant,
felt in the sunrise and sunset.
Shooting stars, heart shaped rocks,
YOU... I am never to forget.

Your memory will be everlasting.
Still your voice I miss the most.
Oh, just to hear you laughing
or just to feel you close.

Four years now have passed.
No, my heart's still not whole.
Yes, pieces forever will be missing,
but your life...it changed my soul.

Thank you so much for the response. It is amazing what doing the work to acknowledge and heal our inner child can do for us. For me it has also allowed grace to be extended to those who knew no better. I knew I wasn't alone either! I'm glad you found this poem!
