You don't follow rules
Stop playing games with my heart
Forfeit so you win
Everyone knows you are a player
Amanda Kay Burke Dec 2020
Shook jaded soul asleep
Silenced with hazy thoughts
Never fear and fight the unknown
Ground quaking as images talked
Don't know what happens now
Skin is a canvas for dreams
These stained people and endured places
And weary worms bloomed from instinct
They figured out how to rule my nerves and muscles
Surrendered to the hearse in my head
Burning sunsets weigh down my nightmares
To floods that drown me in this bed

I chose Weight Of Dreams by Hyunju Kim which is beautiful

I hate how I give up so fast
Love shadow realm too much
So I can't leave it in the past
I often crave the sinful touch

To see face of the devil
How bright appearing to be
Feel the end of this level
Amazed flaws are all I see

Surrounding natural urges
Beauty challenging to resist
Done until thought reemerges
Tempting dark persists
About my difficulties with addiction

Dark words distorted
Cold careless chaos crawling
Same sound. Morphed meaning.
They don't sound different but I know you mean something else this time

Then snake was always you.
And the irony is,
I shed my skin
And left you.

No matter how hard I try
I cannot speak
I cannot write
I cannot live

I do not know what lies in store for us now
Longing to fix this but I'm not sure how
Your actions cut me so deep I'm still bleeding
Time and time again I don't get what I'm needing
But touch is addicting so I can't help but stay
Though the way you treat me is not okay
I want to start life with you and have a family
It seems like you'd rather have fun than be with me
I wish you desired the same things I do
It's obvious you are more interested in starting something new
Without you it is hard to enjoy anything at all
Makes me sad yet I still look forward to every single call
I believed we were soulmates
You're 'the one'
So many mistakes I wish could be undone
I will never quit loving you although it brings me pain
If I give one more chance
Do not let it be in vain
Too bad life doesn't come with a rewind button
Amanda Kay Burke Dec 2020
It happened
This feeling
It does when you're around
Not a new sensation
In your presence unwound

The floor suddenly unstable
Barely holding feet
Grace formerly following
Crashes to ground in a heap

I cannot stop staring
Thought I had more control
Enchanting face is spellbinding
Look and my stomach starts to roll

What is it about your honesty
That causes me to do crazy things?
Am I having hallucinations?
Have I sprouted wings?
Cause you make me feel like I am flying
Amanda Kay Burke Dec 2020
If you cannot find strength to keep pushing along
On the right track or wrong
The beliefs and feelings you believed you once knew
All that in your mind the only thing stopping you
Sometimes you just have to let go of everything
