Blur
Amanda Cooper Dec 2012
Time goes by so quickly
You blink,
The moment’s gone
Constantly moving on a high speed carousel
Around and Around
Eventually it all becomes a blur
Streaks of color, nothing more

Suffocate
Amanda Cooper Jan 2013
You: the breath in my lungs
Can’t let go, hold you in
Must not exhale
Knowing you’re the last breath I took,
The last breath I will ever take
Makes the pain worth while.

I Wish I Could Hate You
Amanda Cooper Dec 2012
My eyes
Are empty,
Shallow, dull,
Emotionless.
Why did you
Take the life
Out of me
When you left?
You don’t need it
You don’t use it
You don’t even
Think about it.
Hell, when’s the
Last time you
Thought about me?
It has probably
been a while,
So *******.
And tell her
I said
Hi.

Blueprint
Amanda Cooper Jan 2013
Blue
The vein’s blood
The leg’s jeans
The pen’s ink
His eye’s shade
Deep
The ocean’s way
The night’s dark
The lung’s breath
My mind’s thoughts
Alone
The sky’s moon
The wind’s chill
The heart’s place
My bed’s side
Forgotten
The clock’s time
The lost lives
The leftover pain
The words never said.

Four times
Amanda Cooper Dec 2012
You asked me four times
Do you not understand the word
“No”?
You pursued this
You wanted this
But the sober you regrets it
Which made me feel like ****
You even tried to make it look
Like it was all me.
Like I pursued this.
But I did want it.
The alcohol is to blame
For that.
If I was in my right mind,
I would have rejected the offer.
Oh wait, I have
Three times.
So you’re lucky
I was drunk.

I Need To Drain You
Amanda Cooper Dec 2012
Memories
Clear like the water I drink,
But not as pure.
Flow through my brain
My veins
My heart
My toes
Every inch of me remembers you.
Soaked on skin.
Chilled to bone.

To My Love
Amanda Cooper Dec 2012
Roses are red
Violets are blue.
I know this is cliche,
But I really do love you.

The oceans deep
The mountains high.
This distance is tough,
but all we can do is try.

The stars are bright
The water is clear
Everyday I wish
That you were here.

The word is out
The birds are free.
Please don’t change,
You’re perfect for me.

Doors are locked
Ropes are tied.
Come over and kiss me,
My arms; open wide.

Days go by
Seconds pass.
All we can do is hope
That our love will last.

Her
Amanda Cooper Dec 2012
Her
I heard that she’s a runner
And plays the violin.
I can tell she has nice hair
And almost perfect skin.
I would think she’s quite smart
By the looks of where she is.
I’m jealous of her hands
Because I know they hold his.
I see she has brown eyes
Though mine are blue.
I’d say we have nothing in common,
But that’s not true.
We both belonged to him
At some point in time.
I’m past, she’s present
I’ll admit he’s no longer mine.

The Answer Is
Amanda Cooper Dec 2012
A million questions asked.
The greatest answer to all:
Silence
Neither right nor wrong.

Six Words of Distant Love
Amanda Cooper Dec 2012
You’re too far away from me.
I need you so much closer.
I will never stop loving you.
Please say you feel the same.
I sit here; waiting and waiting.
I’m scared you’ll find someone else.
I want you to be happy.
Whatever happens, don’t forget about me.

Some Months
Amanda Cooper Dec 2012
March
The last time I read your words
We were in the same room
If only I knew at the time.
January
The last time I heard your voice
Would have been nice to see you
Or at least get an answer.
August**
The last time I saw your face
I did not expect that to be
The last time.

— The End —
