Holding on
For years;
Dangling
Fighting
Struggling,
Through snowy Decembers,
Lights strung up
branch to branch,
Through awakened April's
tulips reaching skyward
Through smoggy Augusts
Blonde beauty's sunbathing in the grass
The leaf had seen it all
But in the blink of an eye
The tree became old
The roots became withered
As did the leafs grip on the branch
And a final autumn
Came to rest in the air
And the leaf began
Reminiscing of being green
And full of life again,
It continued to let go
More
And more,
Until one day,
the leaf fell from the tree.
Brown
And shriveled
Falling
And sailing
Through the breeze.
Once the leaf changed its color,
It did not go back.
The leaf will never be attached
To the branch ever again.
So there it stayed,
Lying on the ground
Tossing and turning,
For another eternity.

He seems happy
I should just let go

am Aug 2013
On the warm July night,
He held me close, and refused to let me go.
He grabbed my waist,
Looked me right in the eyes,
And jumped into the darkness.
His smile never faded,
His eyes never left mine.
How I wish I knew
Exactly what he was thinking
On the warm July night.
He told me that I was most important,
He told me that he did not care about the others.
Just like that,
My heart fell into his hands
He loves me;

3 years
And 346 days have passed
Since I first looked into your eyes.
Everyday
I crash and burn.
I am alone, as she is deep within his arms,
On this August night.
It is cold,
And I wish that you were here.
He is smiling at her,
Now holding her waist,
Looking into her eyes.
Where have you gone?
Sinking
Sinking
Sinking,
You have left me.
Have I crossed your mind,
On this cold August night?
He loves me not;

I picked all the petals
Off of each flower
And I still do not know
If he loves me
Or not.
-A.M.

Similar to the leaves,
I eventually fall.
I fall to the ground and wither,
Eventually suffocating from the snow.
Trapped
Lost
Terrified;
I have to escape on my own.
My limbs are frozen,
My heart turned numb.
Where are you?
I search and search,
Why can't I find you?
You're always out of reach
There's nobody left for me.
I have to escape on my own.
I need your help,
I need your guidance.
Only you can get my through.
I toss and turn,
As I slowly crumble.
Alone
Alone
Alone;
As I will never accept
The pain that comes with bitterness.
Why can't I soar above the clouds,
And forget this cruel world?
Falling
Falling
Falling
Deep into the earths crust,
Shaking and withering.
Burning
Crashing
Sinking
I must find my way out
Out of this place I call home
Away from these people I call friends
Out of this life I call my own.
-A.M.

I whispered
I love you
Hundreds of times;
I screamed it
To the sky
Thousands of times;
And I told you
One million times;
It will always remain true.
I stand within the tears
That pour from the sky,
And kiss the floor
Hundreds
Thousands
Millions
Of raindrops
Falling from the sky,
Falling from my eyes;
Tell me that the long nights
The long
Long
Long
Nights
Were completely worth it all.
Hundreds of meaningful nights.
I've come to realize
That I cannot live without you.
I cannot live without your essence
As you call my name thousands of times.
I've come to love the downpour of your tears
And the wrinkles as you smile.
Tell me that you'll never leave,
Tell me you are here.
Tell me one million times.
I love you
One hundreds different ways
As thousands of symphonies play
Counting across millions of stars.
So please tell me,
Darling,
That you love me;
Because I love you endlessly.
-A.M.
am Jun 2013
Suddenly years have gone by,
Silent
Silent
Silent
Years.
Silent,
Yet so many thoughts.
So many thoughts
That I could never fathom.
I cannot control myself
I cannot contain my feelings.
Bottled up,
Hundreds
Thousands
Millions;
Millions of unsaid words
Thousands of untouchable,
Unreachable feelings.
And hundreds of distant friends.
My thoughts are scattered
Spread across many grey clouds
Soaring thousands of miles above my reach.
When will the rain fall
Making hundreds
Thousands
Millions
Of tiny puddles?
Stepped on puddles,
Unwanted puddles.
The cycle must begin again
And again,
As the grey clouds collapse.
We gain more puddles
More thoughts
More feelings.
Hundreds
Thousands
And millions of people
Trapped within the cycle of life.
I look for places
And things
And a life
That I've never even seen
Or heard of;
I am always searching.
So many people
Walk away.
Out of my sight,
Out of my life.
You are gone,
You are so distant
Hundreds
Thousands
Millions
Of miles away.
You are within the clouds,
Swimming within my thoughts
Within my each and every emotion
Yet
You are far above my reach.
And still,
Many years have gone by.
Silent
Silent
Silent
Years fly by.
How much longer will I go on
Without revealing my love for you?
-A.M.
