Questions?
Amanda Woolums May 2015
Isn't everything supposed to happen for a reason?
Why must we suffer for someone else's mistakes?
What makes a person beautiful?
How can somebody tell you they love you and then leave?
Why do we all spend our whole life's searching for the impossible?
Yeah I don't know...

Dear Razor Blade,
Amanda Woolums Apr 2015
It's been awhile since our last encounter;
When I laid you to my skin.
We used to be inseparable;
You always were there.
I ran to you when I couldn't handle
The pain I held inside.
My skin was your canvas,
For your ****** art.
I'm strong now,
That's why we've grown so far apart.
I've regained my strength,
From your wicked games.
My scars have become a reminder,
Of our last dance.
I have escaped from your grasp,
I'm finally free.
I've been clean for almost 2 months.

Don't Say It.
Amanda Woolums Feb 2015
Please don't speak.
don't let them escape.
Its for you to keep.

I asked you not to fall.
I see it in your eyes.
why do you wish to throw this curve ball?

Oxygen fills your lungs
biting your lip in hesitation.
they burn my soul as they roll off your tongue.

Three words.
I love you
I must have misheard

Alas I did not,
you broke your promise.
my heart in a tight knot

I feel obliged to reply.
the poison leaks from my mouth.
I feel like I'm going to **cry.
I asked you not to fall in love with me. and you replied with "I Promise"
What happed to that promise?

Her heart shattered
like the embers of that cigarette
you just through out your car window.
my heart you just through out the door

There is no more freedom.
I am ugly, or so she says.
Worthless, her favorite word.

Broken.
She laughs when I cry.
Why?

What's wrong with me?
Am I not good enough?

Trapped
Amanda Woolums May 2014
I'm trapped.
I can't escape.
It's getting hard to breathe.

Darkness is overcoming me.
I can't speak.
When I try nothing comes out.

She holds me down.
She keeps me here.
Her lies empower me.

I am broken.
I am trapped.
There's no one to hear me cry.

Promise me?
Amanda Woolums May 2014
Dear you,

Please don't forget about me.
Even if you find someone better.
I just want you to know no girl will ever love you like I still do.
Promise me that you'll not forget me.
I know you broke some of our other promises.
But please keep this one.
Promise me you won't forget about me.
Because I can't even fathom forgetting you, my love.

Sincerely,
____

Beautiful.
Skinny.
Sun kissed.
Loving.
Graceful.
Whitened teeth.

Broken.
Bruised.
Cut.
Depression.
Lost.
Destroyed.
Worthl­ess.
Weak.
Sadness.

Many people say never judge a book by it's cover, but they are the ones that judge the most.
I don't think I'm a good poet.

Can you see them?
Amanda Woolums Apr 2014
Can you see them?

They aren't always on the wrists
They aren't easy to find
Some are covered with socks
Some concealed beneath pants

Out of your line of sight
The scariest ones
You can't see them
They hide from your eyes

Hidden lines
Concealed beneath clothing
playing peek-a-boo through the lies
Marks upon smooth skin

She's clever, you see?
Hides them under cloth and fabric
Can you see them?
They make her weak.

Hidden scars
The scars that hurt the worst
Tear apart happiness
Her hidden secrets
First poem on here. I know it *****.

— The End —
