#s poems on Hello Poetry

Amanda Kay Burke Apr 2019

Why do I continually ****** my happiness into other peoples arms when they can never hold the weight very long?

My entire world I gift without the slightest hesitation

To a person who never asked to bear my burden

Never wanted the responsibility of taking care of my heart

Of course the life dangling from their fingers isn’t important-

-It is not their obligation to fufill

Whenever you are near me next

I will ****** my smile right out of your clumsy hands

And take back the happiness you so shakily held

If it is not already too late...

Don’t put your happiness in other people’s hands. They’ll drop it, every single time.

Resurrection

You walk beside the street wonderin' where to go.
This fiercely knotted rope, holdin' onto lettin' go.
What was once truth is now a brainwashed someone else.
Destination nowhere with a stranger inside, a stranger beside.
You don't want it; you Need it,
you don't want it; you've got to Have it.
The fear that takes you is the fear that breaks you and the fear that breaks you is the fear that makes you and takes you and breaks you

Why Make Beautiful Poetry?

If I made a poem that sang to the seas
and whispered to the winds,

Would the winds remember what was whispered?
And when I sang to the seas, should they see the secrets sunk into my subconscious?

The winds won't ever wander where I once have.
The seas never will stare solemnly at the stormy sky.

Seems that it is worthless.

The crooner

When we parted,
it split my soul in two,
half of me was so in love,
the other half was through!
Sara~
Please. don’t talk about me when I’m gone,
Even if the things I said were wrong.
You know my heart was true and this love belonged to you,
So ~ please don’t talk about me when I’m gone.
When you’re feeling lonely, sad and blue,
You know this lonely heart belonged to you.
You know my heart was true and this love belonged to you,
So ~ Please don’t talk about me when I'm gone.

Dividing friends and acquaintances like property.

Family Pain

Pained hearts,
And the crying starts.
We've all grown apart.
The silk pillows are stained
while pain crowds our brain.
Everyone is hurt
with tears wetting our shirt.
No one is talking.
All is heard is the sound of sobbing.
There's no more happy times,
because of all our little hurtful crimes.
All hearts are broken.
We never knew happiness was just a token.
There isn't any hope.
We all want to tie it, and hang the rope.
We all just want the pain to end,
because we know there isn't anymore happiness to lend.

Sad family
