Your journey has come to an end
Mourning for a soul no longer here
Love slowly will help wounds mend
In heart presence will never disappear
Trying to write a poem for the program for my mom's celebration of life

Stay anonymous
I won't ever be famous
Because all of this
I don't do it for the glory but sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be famous for my words...
Amanda Kay Burke Sep 2023
You can't craft honor
Character a clear birthmark
Darkness a defect
I think you can pretend but ultimately we are either born with it and are naturally inclined to do the right thing or without it and are forever doomed to replicate those who are. Sometimes they are successful but most of them fail miserably.

They think we are gross
"Why don't you two get a room?"
I love PDA
What can I say?
I'm not ashamed

One billion stories
With thousands of pages filled
Are we but paper?
Everything is temporary
Amanda Kay Burke Sep 2023
I lose last battle
Your attention awarded
To somebody else
Never make someone a priority when you are only an option
