Crazy
 Aug 2013 Amber Jade

For you
I think I would do
Anything.
Because of this one
Tiny little thing.
I don't know what it is
But I like it.
Love
When I think about
You
I don't care about
Anything
Else.
All I want is to
Hold you
Kiss you
Fall asleep to you
Wake up to you.
Even things
I don't like
I would do
If it meant I could see you
Even for a moment.
Cause I'm
Crazy
For you.
And honestly
I like it.

Every now & then
I get a little tired
of sitting up in bed
frustrated
within my head
and the gift
of instant sleep
is absent
to me
so my chest heaves
and I breathe
more
clouded air into
my cracking lungs
and

Every now & then
I get a little tired
of going asleep alone
and uninspired
but my bones only
forget
there are things to be learned
within my own
eyelids
and not
between the punctured
dream
of someone
else's
lips

I'm tired.

Will I still
see you there?
Maybe digging backwards
within the brain
is just a trench too deep to wander
right now.
Maybe distractions are helpful.

21,
21,
21,
we're playing a lucky game so
pick your sides.
21,
21,
21,
you're the lucky boy today so
enjoy the ride.
But tonic is so toxic
so tasteless
so bitter-trivial-faceless
when you have to swallow your pill
everyday at 8:30 PM,
sharp.
My liver ain't in the best of shape
my body ain't in the best of weights
my soul sure is dying fast
though nothing ever lasts.
21,
21,
21 more times--
just a number,
though nothing is just a number.
My blood is running poison,
a cut a running toxic tap.
My body is a chemical,
a bitter, vindictive compound.
21,
21,
21,
it all tastes so **** bitter,
all I can taste is bitter.
no cause for a celebration

He was always a bit of a dreamer
Even in the dark chaos of life.
Every day got more and more lonely
When the waves tears fell to the sea.
And with one slice of a knife,
The ocean became ***** water.

She had always been a fighter
When daddy went off to war.
When your 16 you rely on beauty,
His strikes would make her plea.
One day he went a little too far,
Now all he has is ***** water.

The truth is that the Cupid's arrow,
only struck Adam & Eve.
That's how love,
became a deadly disease.

The truth is that compassion doesn't exist.
We've always been deceived.
Tears, lies, betrayal, and blood curling screams.

The truth  is that after death,
life will become a tear-soaked cloth of regrets.
The things you could've done,
and the things you decided to neglect.

The truth is that we're in a competition.
The competition of who's good,
who's bad,
and who's not even worth this emulation.

The truth is that the world,
has run out of enlightenment.
The river of simplicity has run dry,
and the world just wishes for refinement.

The truth is that we're all alone,
at the end of the day.
Filled with grief,
we're standing by the never-ending bay.

My stable house of cards is about to collapse
My stomach is literally in knots
Trying to cope with all this
This sense of unhappiness
Which affects my relationships
More than it probably should
It's all so mixed up
I wish I could
Run away from my thoughts
But I know I can't
So I'm drowning in those
Like a girl that can't swim
In the rivers of love
In the rivers of pain
Constantly trying
To give herself healing
To try and cover her wounds
But she knows she never could
Lost, misunderstood
Trying to hold on
Trying to stand
On the cold
Hard ground
Even though
She would rather

This poem is not exactly great, but I felt like writing this...because of the mood I'm currently in.
I want to stand by her side,
to catch her when she falls.
I want to be there, good or bad,
to carry her through it all.

I want to wipe her tears away,
and hold her hand so tight.
I want to keep her close and warm,
to hold her in my arms tonight.

Still it matters not what I desire,
for fate is cruel and so unkind.
Born so very far apart,
a punishment fit for no crime.

She carries on her life out there,
somewhere in this lonely world.
I stand alone in these dark times,
thinking of this forlorn girl.

I want to softly stroke her cheek,
to take her pain away.
I want to help her to her feet,
and tell her she will be okay.

I want to gently touch her lips,
and brush the hair from her eyes.
I want to promise her the world,
and give her wings to fly.

Instead I’m met with these dark halls,
with no end or exit in sight.
No means of escape, nowhere to go,
I cannot run, nor hide.

She searches for someone to love,
and claims to know what love is.
I stand alone in these dark times,
having only my heart left to give.

I want her to hold her head up high,
to take life by its very horns.
I want her to bite the hand that feeds,
instead of feeling so forlorn.

I want her to realize she’s not alone,
even if I cannot be there in the flesh.
That I would give my heart and soul,
to share with her a single breath.

I want to see her smile,
because it is happiness she seeks.
I want to lie beneath the stars,
with her beside of me.

I don’t know what love is,
but for her, I think I’d try.
It’s a feeling I may never know,
for she’s not in my life.

Fate is so cruel and unkind,
and for that reason I stand alone.
Until I find my way to her,
in the darkness I shall roam.
