Amanda Kay Burke Apr 2018
Light from the TV
Iluminates the living room
But she is not watching
The colors and motion bloom

Music from an old radio
Softly wails some ghostly tune
But her ears are not listening
Her eyes are fixed on the moon

No wind or rustle of leaves
To break the quiet and still
Of the small house residing
At the top of a wayward hill

The leaden night was falling
The dark sky pressing down
On the reflective soul that lived by herself
On the outskirts of town

Two fists sheathed in black armor
Came rapping on her lonesome door
The next day when the sun rose
Nobody lived there anymore
I am not sure what this is about because it was written in 2014 haha very vague and cryptic though. I am assuming it is a symbol for death.

They’re there for their friends


They’re there to be seen,
Their thoughts are their own.
Their partner is their only saviour,
They’re currently living in their mobile home.


They’re trailer trash, in their home over there,
They love their partner, for they’re always there.
They’re there to comfort their daughter, like she was theirs;
They’re never quite sure if their lover is truly theirs forever.


For there seems to be no trust in their lover,
For they are paranoid their love isn’t just theirs,
But also another’s.
Their mothers were there on their wedding day;
They’re still together in their own place over there.


Amongst their friends over there; there my dear, over there.
Amongst their enemies, they’re there for their friends,
Whenever their friends need their love,
They’re always there to give them love;
Because their friends are there for them
To help them with their chores.


They’re over there in their caravan dying their hair.
For they’re bored of their life, lover,
Their home and their friends.

I'm with you right now
...next to you....
inside you
lighting up any of those dark corners.

you left me there
between foreign moons
and unknown stars

It goes beyond
the voices in your head
to tap
into the
beats of your heart
reshuffling
your
plan
unplanned surprises, twists and turns

Your flame
scares those
who are
afraid of matches
ask me
I've been
burned before
it usually
ends
with a passionate
red
scar

I wanna let you know I’m there
You’ve stepped on spikes here and there
You’re sick of the world’s poisonous air
You’ve known true sorrow and despair
But this is not all of it I swear
Have you tried true love and care
Have you seen beautiful dreams rather than nightmares
Do you know you’re beautiful, beyond compare
You let me know you’re there
Your heated touch thrilled my heart and took me somewhere
To another dimension where I can exist for infinity in your stare
Which I don’t get much of, that’s not even fair
I wanna let you know I’m there
Forever with you, you have my hug to wear
In your embrace I felt immortal, it was heaven stair
As long as I’m with you, it’s perfect being anywhere
Don’t be fooled by others destruction, what we have is truly rare
Let our souls entwine as one, our hands hold, in this love we share
