the moon
barely casted a light on your face
but I'm glad it did

shifted focus
amber Jul 2018
Reality is escaping the grasp,
Of my hands.
Their hold was too loose,
The loss: inevitable.
Simultaneously living in the past,
And existing in the present,
Proves detrimental.

shut out
amber Oct 2018
I like to think
I know you

but what if
I don't?

what if I'm in love
with a past version
of you?

is the old me
wrapped up
in the old you?

how am I to know
when nowadays

you shut me out?

vicious cycle
amber Jul 2018
why was it so hard
to cut ties with you
why do i still struggle
with keeping my life
sanitized
so you can no longer
infest it

i propose this prose
amber Mar 2020
everything you had said was so honest and sweet... but what I really wanted to hear was the thoughts you kept inside.

transfusion
amber Aug 2018
please bite me.
sink your teeth,
into my flesh,
and drink up my anguish.
consume my agony.
drain me,
of the pain.

**** my veins dry,
until I am hollow,
and all left to do,
is fill me up,
with your love.

goodbye room
goodbye mountains
goodbye sun
goodbye loneliness

hello snow
hello cold
hello new opportunity

goodbye to the me
i was here

hello life
goodbye death

hello rain
goodbye pain

hello?
are you there?
you never answer,
when I call out your name.
maybe your mind,
is somewhere else.
i hope,
your heart isn't too.

shattering
amber Mar 2020
you said,
"it seems like you don't care,"
as tears streamed down my cheeks.
I kept trying to answer you,
but I couldn't breathe.

a skeleton
tried to **** me
in my sleep
i wonder
if he was so violent
in his past life

im looking for
a shift in emotion

a wet wednesday
amber Jan 2020
it's pouring outside.
water is collecting,
aside the sidewalk,
amongst the potholes,
and in drops,
atop my coat.

i wanna yell,
and scream,
but i'm stuck here,
watching the rain.

sanitization
amber Mar 2018
I haven't seen your face in days
We know it is better this way
I haven't seen your face in years

I long to be younger
Too naive to know
You weren't loving me
You were possessing me

Alone, cold, senseless
Your skin somehow felt warm
Under my fingertips
Focusing all my energy on you
Was, at first, euphoric
Soon the feeling was replaced
With an emptiness

Draining me of life
You carried on: complacent
Drugs and my presence
Stabilized your horrific being

Why do I still struggle
With keeping my life
Sanitized
So you can no longer
Infest it

rose
amber Jan 2020
my brooding force,
can I call you mine,
or is that audacious?
once so soft and welcoming,
I now feel your thorns,
poking and piercing my skin.
should I brush you away?
would you have that...
or would you draw blood?

simply happy
beautifully content
his vibe is
easy
and

steaming bath
amber Mar 2018
bathing in my emotions
feeding my feelings
nurturing my neurosis

people are too far
they seem nothing like me

unwavering
amber Mar 2020
your eyes,
tore into me,
and cut up,
my heart.
your words,
were no kinder,
and left me feeling crushed.

restraint
amber Mar 2020
why is it so much easier to focus on someone else in the moment?
why is it so straining reverting back to solitude?
why is it so much more desirable to be in control of someone else's body, than your own?

you are lit up
and so far way
you cannot see
my light
is burnt out

frosty
amber Mar 2018
I am so cold,
Inside and out,
I suppose.
Like Jack Frost:
My heart as cold as my nose.
These holes in my jeans,
Do not help.

idealism
amber Mar 2018
you move away,
I think of me.
I hear your voice,
I think of me.
your laugh pierces the air,
I try to think of me.
I see your smile,
I *******.
I am so hurt;
you don't mind.
I am so dumb,
to think you kind.
I'm sensitive:
you are too.
please forgive me;
I wish I could forgive you,
but,
do you even want me to?

I wish I never let you in,
but I did,
I let you win.

suffocation
amber Mar 2018
Your thoughts beautifully flower within the walls of your mind.
Affixed with thorns, I am nervous to touch them.
Fearful of a rose drawing blood,
I carefully survey the complexities that rage between your ears.

Yet, to uncover the exact meaning of the intricacies,
In your garden of speculations,
I must involve my own opinions and perspective.

But how am I to find myself,
While I am buried beneath the dirt of your living.
mind communication suffocation too much too soon

sharp
amber Mar 2018
I step toward you,
You pull away.
My heart shatters,
Glass scatters,
Everywhere.

mania
amber Mar 2018
my head is pounding.
is it the presence,
of nicotine,
in my bloodstream?
or is it,
that too many thoughts are swirling about?
bashing into one another,
knocking each other out,
creating chaos in the walls of my skull.

solo
amber Jan 2020
Sometimes it seems,
You can't see,
Just how broken and alone,
I am.
When I fall,
I have no one to turn to.
You can't kick me.
I'll scream in isolation,
Rip myself apart,
And blame it all on me.

— The End —
