If I Died Tomorrow

If I died tomorrow,
I'd want my ashes to be spread around the world.
Even though I'm not there,
I could visit the places I wanted to go.

Natural Disaster
amt Nov 2012
He'a a tornado. He's enchanting to watch, he leaves me dizzy for days, but he blows me away whenever I try to get close.
And he's a hurricane. His impact is powerful, it warns that I hide. But I drown in his eyes whenever I try to speak.

Us together feels natural.

*Us together is a disaster.

Billions of planets.

Forever
amt Feb 2012
I fell for a predator,
I was the prey.
I was head over heels,
But now I’m done with your game.
You’ve had your fun,
But now I am through.
But 4 words will bring me back,
And those words are ‘I love you, too.’
So I would like to thank you,
For breaking my heart.
Because now both of us,
Have a fresh start.
So now you are free,
To be with whoever,
But I know I’ll still,
Love you forever.

Can't Fight It
amt Nov 2012
And I can't fight it.
I know how I feel, but never would I say it.
I,
I can't.
But I care about him.
Truly,
Deeply,
Care.
And her?
She wants a hand to hold,
An arm for her shoulder,
And open arms for her embraces.
And he cares for her.
Truly,
Deeply,
Cares.

And so do I,
But differently.
She's his,
He's hers,
She's my best friend,
And I want him to be mine.

The classic story that ends in two friends agreeing to never fight over guys.
So we won't fight over guys,
*But how can I fight how I feel?

'Till I get over you
amt Mar 2012
My head is spinning round and round,
My heart is beating fast.
Waiting for some closure,
To finally come at last.
I'm nauseous from your roller coaster,
I want the ride to stop.
Just as we go down a hill,
We climb back to the top.
This never-ending roller coaster,
That you put me through,
Isn't going to stop,
'Till I get over you.

Not Gone
amt Oct 2012
So there I was,
Not knowing what to do,
Upset that I'd,
Never see you.
Scrolling through pictures,
In the background you sit.
Glancing at my phone,
Can't stop smiling at it.
I thought we were over,
I thought we were through.
I thought that I'd,
Never see you.
But there's still hope,
For you and me,
I just need to find time,
To wait and see.

Something's Wrong
amt Mar 2012
You know something’s wrong,
When the only song,
Is a sad one,
Full blast on repeat.

When your only happiness,
Is at the times,
You are asleep

Just a thought (rant)
amt Dec 2012
You know what I never understood,
Still don't,
And never will?

Why do we try harder on the things we're bad at?
In the end we'll be better...
But imagine everyone trying hard in everything we're actually good at.
We'd all be better.

Okay is less than great

Do we want a world of okay people or great people?




But it's not up to me...
So whatever

We all want someone who will kiss our flaws away,
And fix us,

Because how could someone love you,
When you can't even love yourself?

'Friends'
amt Mar 2012
As we danced tonight,
I felt unsure,
About how I felt,
And how things were.
I don’t want to dive in headfirst again,
For I know that we’ll end up awkwardly ‘friends.’
So much to do,
So much to rehearse,
Maybe I should just dip my toes in first.

Say Goodbye
amt Mar 2012
You've made me angry,
You've made me sad.
You've made me happy,
You've made me mad.
You've made me jealous,
You've made me blue,
You've made me think,
So much about you.

I've made you happy,
I've made you sad.
I've let you down,
I've made you glad.  
I've made you strong,
I've made you weak,
I've witnessed your lowest,
I've witnessed your peak.

You've made me feel,
All of the above, too,
But most of all,
You've made me love you.

You've broke my heart,
I've heard you lie,
We've said hello,
Now say good bye.

Tomorrow

A lot of things I should've done,
More that I wish I hadn't,
But tomorrow's a new day.
It's never too late to turn the page.
Never too late,
To change your ways.
So put your head up,
And do as you should.
Cause it's a new dawn,
It's new day,
It's a new life,
And I'm feeling good.
*last five lines are from the song Feeling Good by Nina Simone.

Love
amt Oct 2012
Like who you're with,
And like who you are.

On a shooting star.

To achieve your dreams,
Don't push or shove,
Love what you do,
And do what you love.
Last two lines are a quote by Ray Bradbury.

Edge of the Universe
amt Feb 2013
I'd go out of this world for you.
I'd chase you through the stars.
Though they seem so very close,
They really are quite far.

I'd walk with you through galaxies.
Through lands we've never seen.
Places where the grass is blue,
And where the sky is green.

We'd roam around the universe.
'Together,' we would pledge.
Anything for you, my dear,
I'd follow passed the edge.

Will Not

I will not kiss up to you.
I will not do what you want me to.
I will never ever come back.
I promised that I wouldn't do that.
And I'll pretend the feelings aren't there,
Cause I know that I shouldn't care.
I remember sleepless nights,
I remember all the fights.
You expect me to be at your door,
I will not do that anymore.
amt Sep 2012
My heart says yes,
My head says no.
My head says stop,
My heart says go.

I know it's not me.

It makes no sense,
And my head says no.
My heart says yes,
Don't know where to go.

So take what’s offered,
And remember to give.
Live to remember,
But remember to live.

You just have to wait,
As they've been waiting for you.
They don't know you exist.

And I hate how this time,
I just have to sit back,
Live life,
And let nature do its thing.

Please

Monday, February 27, 2012
I just wanted to say to everyone to please stop bullying. Today in a town not so far from mine, a boy was bullied so much that he brought a gun to school and shot five people. 2 are dead, 3 are injured. Please stop bullying people! It's not cool, it's not funny, it's not anything that could possibly be good! Not only does that person feel the pain, but just as what happened today, others feel it too. It's not fair that a person was bullied and 2 people had to die for it. So all I can say is please, please, please stop bullying!

Chardon, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

I told him I'd come.
I told him I'd be there for him,
unlike how he wasn't there for me.
I feel bad.
Two wrongs don't make a right,
But I  guess he needs to pay,
For how he broke me...
But I was genuinely happy to be able see him again,
And the only person I'm hurting by not coming,
Is myself.

Coming Back
amt Feb 2012
Why do I even come back to you,
When all you bring me is pain?
Why do I even think of you,
When all you do is make me insane?
Your love is like poison,
And I think I’m addicted.
Your heart is like gold,
But for me it’s restricted.
Why do I even talk to you,
When all you do is talk about her?
Why did I even fall for you,
I thought I knew for sure.
Your love is like an ocean,
And I think that I’m drowning.
You don’t even know,
How it’s your fault I’m frowning.
But I’ll keep coming back,
Until the last words are spoken.
Yes, I’ll keep coming back,
Until my heart is all broken.

Fall for you all over again.
I was so happy.
We were so happy.
But I'd never admit that in real life.

But really I like you...

But truthfully,
I haven’t seen the real you in months.

On the outside,
I fake to look tough.
I tried my hardest,
And it wasn't enough.
When will someone finally see,
What all of their comments,
Do to me.

"Your hair looks frizzy,"
I woke up at 6 in the morning to do it.

Not played in a game,
I'm the only one who showed up to practice.

B on my math homework,
Spent all weekend doing it.

On the outside I fake tough,
To hide the tears of not being good enough.

Not sure if you mentioned her,
But we were happy,
*And we were together.

And here I am again...
Been here so many times.
Why did I think you'd care?
Why did I think you'd pick me over her?

Is it because she's prettier?

No depth.

So yes,
Sure she's pretty.
So pretty, but so empty.

To live in the rain.

And I’ve said a ‘bad’ word.
I’m not so little anymore.
And I think it’s time you heard.

And you'd tell me everything.
You'd let me in on the deepest, winding secrets of your mind. The dark twisted paths that sometimes dead ended or continued for eternity. You brought me to the places that smelled musty of old memories and to ever going trains of thought.

And you'd tell me everything.
Big things, little things, anything you wanted to,
And I was more than happy to listen.
