Trust Issues
Amber Feb 2014
Is it false hope ?
That you'll come back
That you'll realize and you see that
You were so wrong
And that our friendship
Meant nothing when you ceased it

Cause I can't forget
All that we've been through and
I can't let
Myself see her jump into your arms and kiss you

Is it false hope ?
I won't have to miss you
That you can still be the one that I can come to
Cause all that I know
Is that my heart is a sponge ready to squeeze
And that I should learn not to trust so easily

listen and be heard
Amber Nov 2015
Hear my voice.
It starts from the lungs and propels through my throat
Rattles my trachea and obeys the manipulation of my oral cavity
Next on up through that of another vessel
Incessantly passing through the body
Behind furious fingers articulating words from a soulful dictionary
And out through the
Liberty
Bell.
Listen to my voice.
Its timbre is not that of natural beings, but
the content flows from my brain as a second nature
My instrument is my vessel,
My opportunity to voice that which cant be spoken.
Listen and be heard.
the saxophone produces such an immaculate quality of sound. i could only wish my actual voice had such resonance.

rebirth
Amber Feb 2014
Your soft eyes met mine
In a week of weakness
In a month of misery
After a year of yearning
My eyes saw the light of death
I saw the sign

Needless to search far
Walk straight ahead
Eyes fixed
The past is the scar
Irrelevant is where we go

How we dance

Who we are

As long as we're one
And you strum your guitar

— The End —
