Luke
amt Feb 2013
There's something about Luke that draws me in.
Maybe it's his sandy hair,
Or his pale blue eyes,
His bright smile.

Perhaps it's the way that boy plays the guitar,
Or his gentle laugh.
Maybe it's his voice,
And how he reminds me of the summertime.

'Love is dead,' she said.
As she closed her eyes,
She counted ten.

Sheep
amt Feb 2013
Losing sleep,
Can't close my eyes.
Counting sheep,
But I've been over this a thousand and five times,
Asking why,
You're still on my mind.

Words Never Said
amt Feb 2013
I’ll write everything you never said to me.
I’ll put them in a jar.
And pull one out when it rains.
Maybe it’ll stop this pain.
But maybe it’ll break my heart.

Prey

Young lion...
Young and naive lion...
Maybe you should've given me a little more time to move on before pouncing on him...
amt Feb 2013
You call me up.
It's like a broken record.
You say that your heart hurts,
Cause you can't get over him getting over you.

Blame
amt Feb 2013
We had sparks,
I wanted flames.
I fell for you,
Who didn't feel the same.

Loneliness,
And sleepless nights.
Late night calls,
And losing fights.

We had sparks,
I wanted flames.
I got burned,
So who's to blame?

Over
amt Feb 2013
And whenever it gets tough,
Just remind yourself that we're one day closer,
To it all being over.
I decided to leave this one extremely open for interpretation. 'It all being over.' Could be suffering, school... Loneliness, maybe even death? Please comment, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Fake
amt Feb 2013
And we act like this is working.
It's not,
So we pretend.
Your backwards lies,
Your desperate cries,
Have plagued me once again.

And in the silly game of love,
Something we don't choose.
You win, you rub it in my face,
While every time I lose.

But that's alright,
Because we're friends.
Well I guess we're not,
But we'll pretend.

Run
Running.
An activity that you hate,
But love at the same time.
It hurts.
But it's the good kind of hurt.
The kind of pain that is only accompanied
With hard work and determination.
You push yourself.
More than you thought possible.
You can't make it.
You won't make it.
And somehow,
You always do.

But then there it is.
The fall.
The hard ground does not forgive.
Thud
And suddenly,
You are stuck.

And those shoes.
Those neon Nike track spikes,
That you'd waited all year-365 days- to wear.
Sold.

So maybe you're not cutout for this.
Maybe there's a higher plan.
I'll wait.

Yesterday, you walked
Today, you ran.
Tomorrow you'll fly.

Light
amt Feb 2013
I was in the dark.
Had myself convinced that I was hopeless.
I guess without a goal to move towards,
There was no point in trying.
I was lost in a sea of confusion,
Blinded by the darkness.
But now I see a light at the end of the tunnel,
And it's not a train.

Duckling
amt Feb 2013
On a bitter winter day,
A duckling fell from the sky.
I hope he'll be okay.
Just pray that he won't die.

He reminded me of hope,
Something we all need.
The sight of him made me think,
About who I want to be.

A little ducking from the sky,
I hope he'll be okay.
I pray to god that he won't die,
On this bitter winter day.
A duckling fell into the courtyard of my school today. Hope Choncy will be alright!

Head over heels in love
amt Feb 2013
But when she looks into his eyes, everyone disappears and the world stops spinning.

For a split second his hand brushes hers. Suddenly she is torn from the crust of the Earth.

The are flying high above,
They are shooting stars.

And when their lips meet,
They are infinite.
I don't even know. Watched *The Notebook* 12 too many times.

Thank you for listening.
Without you,

Don't invite me.

You're not the same anymore, anyway.

Regret
amt Feb 2013
There are so many opportunities that I have deprived myself of.
So many things that I said 'no' to out of pure fear and awkwardness.
I guess that I'm too quick to judge things.

At the time, I thought I'd made the right decision,
But now, all I have are the after tastes of regret.

Some things never leave

Grew up on a cloud of confusion.
We grew up far too soon.

Days of simplicity,
Now nothing more than a thought..

The fog is thick,
And it feels like forever.


All we have left are the memories.

To everyone who:
Doubts me,
Uses me,
Rejects me,
Hates me,
Back-stabs me,
And thinks of me as a back up plan,

I swear,
Someday, I'm going to make you regret it.

Golden Boy
amt Feb 2013
Longing gazes during science.
'Accidental' phone calls at midnight.
The way that forest green compliments you skin.

Your strong arms,
Your soft hair,
Your kind eyes,
Your beautiful smile.

Though we've known of each other for years,
I can't say I've ever really known you.

But I want to, I've always wanted to.

I've always felt this way.

Thought I'd grow out of it...
Guess not.

Faded Floral Wallpaper

Faded floral wallpaper,
Carpet in blood red.
And though I've got a heavy heart,
My hands support my head.
Your eyes, just like diamonds.
And your gaze, it stops me dead.
The words just fall right out my mouth,
I don't know what I said.

I think I'm going crazy,
For you,
For you.

Scuffed black plastic furniture,
Walls painted fresh white.
I know I shouldn't kiss you,
But I think that I might try.
Thoughts flutter around my head,
A kind of constant fright.
I hope that you won't find this out,
You won't turn on the light.

I think I'm going crazy,
For you,
For you.

Before I will shut my eyes,
There's one thing that comes first.
I pray that I can just go back,
To put it in reverse.
You know, she seems alright,
And I guess I shouldn't hate her,
But she's the freshly painted wall,
And I'm the faded paper.

Old Soul

They tell her she's an old soul.
Understanding beyond her years.
Her smile is tainted with sadness,
Pillow is stained with tears.

Yes, she's an old soul.
Knows things she was never taught.
She's got this streak of kindness,
The kind that can't be bought.

Another Day

Another accusation, to consume my confidence.
Another way for you to tell me to just go away.

Another cry,
Another normal day.

Reminder

And something deep in the back of her mind aches.

Every time she tries to forget,

And he craves the attention he thinks he deserves.

The inner storm,
The calamity within...
The rumble,
The bang,
The drop of a pin.
The ringing in my ears,
That never would stop.
The boiling,
The melting,
The breakdown,
The pop.

A break in the clouds,
Let in rays of sunlight.
A new sense of normal,
Where all wrongs seem so right.

Awkward
amt Jan 2013
We stayed up later than late,
Talk about what we hate.
Dancing in the parking lot where there was no music on.
That time that we almost kissed.
And I regret that I missed.
How we used to be friends and now we don’t talk.
And I’m sorry,
That I’m so awkward…
Combination of different 'relationships' that went horribly, *horribly, wrong... At least I can look back and laugh at them!
