5 feet tall but burned through the bones in me.
Long hair drifted with the winter breeze.
Found you broken on a fallen knee, locked you in my heart with a master key.
Made you see the beauty without the beast. Became a woman so you got  rid of the boy and found a man.
Scripted sculptures with a crown of a queen, one in a million with seductive dreams.

you're an endless sunshine
The one darkness cant
have control of

You are not perfect

Just real

TDPR

Her innocence is broken

Her trust is ruined

She still smile

Making it appear blissful

Ripping and tearing
The heart strings cry
Feeling it's soul
Cast aside

Agony grips tight
As darkness closes in
The light that was once there
Now fades to black

Fear takes hold
As the soul begins to fade
Am I dying?
Or am I just going numb

I wish I knew the answer
Of this simple question
Was it all for nothing
Or will you come back

Why is it hard to live the day
without saying "I love you"?

I'm told I'm talented, beautiful, amazing, smart.

Told I'm a goddess, way ahead of others, easy to talk to.

But all that doesn't matter, because I'm also told I'm a *****.

Parched mud, bare bough trees
Little footprints on the climb
Children up the hill

I'm not staying,
it's my blame.
I'll leave the innocent;
I'm not the same.
I've got blood on my hands.
Pressure to understand.
You're right.
You've always been.
I tend to forget.
I won't bother you,
still my existence bothers me.
My mind smothers me.
The nights scare me;
comfort is scarce.
The dark makes things worse,
and this silence hurts.
It can be so loud,
the noise of nothing.
The sounds of your thoughts,
utterly isolated.
I love y'all;
but I don't love me.
I can't live up to what you all think of me-

Been all these places
And seen all these sights
Just to plummet
From summits
Of what is life heights
For with death
Am enamored
And stammered
To find
The write words
To describe
Her sublime
Suicide

Strive
Go deeper

To the roots
To the seeds
To a unit of life
To the infinite
To the unknown
To the hope
To find a way

Strive
Even further.....

As above

when a heart broken
lover
pours out all
her feelings and
translates them onto
words. something
beautiful gets created.
appreciated by many but
never the one
she's always written her
heart out for.

Grey skies , leafless trees
A moment of quietness
Remembering Spring

❤️

Dead Love
by Amy C. Smith

to you
I was a footnote
a rat
a witch you failed to burn

Grant in me the chance
to push the boundaries of my limits
into
infinite
eternity
the harvest of imagination.

And you,
sweet baby,
will take nothing.

assembled from works published by Beautiful Blasphemy and in The Lakelander, Lakeland Community College, Kirtland OH;

You will never be the thing that hurt you

When two poets love,
Words start to hang in the air
And lose their meaning.
