Amanda Shelton: Poems

You Are a Lie, You Are Ruin, You Are The Fly

Amanda Shelton May 1

You Are a Lie, You Are Ruin, You Are The Fly

The people scream, fight and cry
as you ****** innocence so your
fragile ego can eat the leftovers.

You are a lie,
you are ruin,
you are the fly.

I can talk about my life,
I can talk about your ruins
and lies, if you want me to.

We can watch you whine
while you do nothing,
we can watch you lie and
claim you are going to walk
on water while you drown
trying to.

We watched you waste our lives
and you never walk without a limp
and you've got **** running down
your thigh and **** stained
makeup is smeared across
your face.

We can smell you like a pile
of ***** diapers left out in
the sun to dry.

I can talk about your lies,
I can talk about my life,
I can talk about your crimes,
I can talk about your ruins,
if you want me to.

You corrupted the government
so you can ****** the people
who deslike you. You like no one
so everyone is your enemy.

You Are a Lie,
You Are Ruin,
You Are The Fly.

You Are Laying With The Devil

Amanda Shelton Jan 2020

You Are Laying With The Devil

Upon your lies you built
our relationship, it’s
foundation is too fragile
to support our lives together.

You make excuses to use
broken ideas and evil
blueprints all in the name
of addiction.

You replaced me with
the devil, you cheat on
me with your sinful ways.

You said okay
to everything but
never do what you
agreed to.

You act like I should
forget what you do
but you don’t care
about my faith.

I forgive you
but that doesn’t mean
I should forget.

You know right from wrong
but you choose to lie to
everyone including God.

If you are faithful
you wouldn’t do harmful
things.

I’ve been supportive of you
but not your bad behavior.

You are lying to yourself
if you expect me to stay
and watch you slowly waste
away.

It hurts my heart
to watch you lie
and have no shame
for what you do.

My boyfriend is dealing with addictions. He went to his dad's house for Christmas and came back to abuse me and go backwards on his road to recovery. He keeps lying about it after he just went out to get a fix. He blocked me after I asked him why did he buy the items if you wants to be clean? That's a sign someone knows they are guilty. If you ask someone something and they block you without any reason, that's a guilty response. If they are honest they would answer the question without attitude. If you are honest why would you get upset instead of answering the question? Also, he said he wasn't thinking when he steals from me. Yet to steal you have to plan it. He left me on his couch while he was supposed to go to the store but a long the way he goes to my place to steal from me. I knew what he did because I have a sense I know someone is honest also I can see everything they do through their eyes as if I am dreaming. I can't explain it except for I know things that I don't need to be there to know. Like people's intentions I have the ability to see it. Also the way he stole from took a lot of thought. He even admitted it to me later after I told him he can't lie to me because I know. He knows I know. I am supportive of him but not his bad behavior. Please pray for him.

You Are My Sunrise

Amanda Shelton Mar 2020

You Are My Sunrise

You are like the sun shining
through the clouds,
you blew me a kiss with
your beaming smile.

With your tender touches
I am kindled burning bright,
with desire and life.

You inspire my flame to
rise and shine, you rain but
I catch it in my heart
felling the emptiness with
your unforgettable name.

You are a scar upon my life,
you infected me with your
blue eyes and ocean view.

You inspire me to do better
for God and family.

Life's too short to let it
fly by without a sign of
recognition or recommendation.

On the darkest days
you come with the light,
beaming bright when there’s
no shine on the outside.

You are my sunrise.

You Are Painful Because I Love You

Amanda Shelton Oct 2019

You Are Painful Because I Love You

You are a thorn in my side,
a bruise that never heals,
you are a knife stabbing
me in the back after you
already attached.

You are a rock in my bag,
a piece of dirt in my sandwich,
you are a virus to my sinuses
and you never supported
my feelings, instead you
turned it into your personal
attack.

You cause me anxiety
and stress until my
blood pressure rises
through the roof.

You don’t care about my pain
or the suffering you claim.

You push me away
with your sensory games,
you never bring peace and quiet,
instead you turn up the volume
causing me to seizure and
blister.

I’ve given you chance after chance,
yet you never change your attack’s
or your directional haze.

You keep playing your evil games,
you don’t care about setting
the table, or cleaning your place.

You make a mess of your life
causing me to suffer too.

I will forever be a puppet
to you, you pull on my strings
like a **** pulling the trigger.
Bang!!!

You Are The Possibilities

Amanda Shelton Jan 2022

You Are The Possibilities

The possibility lives within yourself.

If you want something enough
to do anything to achieve it
the possibilities are boundless.

To be prosperous and successful
you have to love yourself first
and the rest will follow.

Think of it as your health, your
mind and body are one you have
to care for both as a whole.

Your Alter Of Broken Hearts

Amanda Shelton Aug 2022

Your Alter Of Broken Hearts

I use to blow around like a leaf,
wondering on a cool breeze.

Life got hot it burned me,
now I am like ashes I'm scattered
on a hot summer's breeze.

Time has got to let me go
so I can rest and heal
from these three degree burns.

Love, you left me in the fire,
you watched me burn and crash.

Love, you lied to me I never
was your desire.

Greed and gluttony
are your only companions,
and your true desires is
to burn your bridges and
burn hearts like witches.

You built your alter of broken hearts,
where you sacrificed love for
drugs alcohol and your narcissistic lies.

Now your love belongs to the flies.

Your Blue Eyes

Amanda Shelton Dec 2017

Your Blue Eyes

Beyond the clouds
my heart rests peacefully,
within the banks
of your blue eyes.

Of mountains cascading
with snow and ice,
my favorite one is
your blue eyes.

Your love taught me how to fly,
my heart rests peacefully
where your blueness soaks
up my rays, seated firmly upon
my sky’s, I love your blue eyes.

Your Collection Of Broken Hearts

Amanda Shelton Mar 2018

Your Collection Of Broken Hearts

Hearts shatter so easily,
the pieces are sharp and crude.

The fragile pieces keep
cutting into my life,
making new wounds each time.

You take your knife
pushing it deeply
into my already broken life,
you ***** it deeper
until there’s nothing left
for me to bleed out.

You collect my suffering
in your ***** jar’s,
savoring my last heart beat
as if waiting for another
so you can take one more slice
just incase it didn’t fell
the jars to there brem.

You have become a grim reminder,
I shouldn’t trust you
as my friend or lover.

Sadly I have been through hell
many times before,
and I have grown stronger.

Zombie Heart

Zombie Heart

Beat, beat, beat,
boom, boom, boom,
to the beat, brains.

Drum roll please!

Brains,
in chains,
heart beats under ruins of loves
damage. Brains!

Zombie heart seeks?
Brains! From past love affairs.

Not revenge, just brains!

Zombie heart, beats undercover,
seeks! Brains!

Ruins, zombie heart a corpse
from a broken heart.

©️ 2025 By Amanda Shelton

I went to zombies in this one. Zombies reminds me of the damage my ex caused me because the pain keeps rising from its grave to haunt me like the living dead. Zombie Heart is a perfect name for this rised from the dead poem. Brains! You're welcome.
