#wishing poems on Hello Poetry

Amanda Kay Burke May 2019

I lose a little bit more of you
Each swiftly passing day
Is there something I can do
To stop you from slipping away?
Without you here I am torn in two
You keep the darkness at bay
What will I do without the only one who
Makes me feel genuinely okay?
I know for certain our love is true
By how we kiss and the words we say
But lately I have been down and blue
Wishing to return to yesterday
I wonder if you feel it too
The distance between us in the way
Every minute ticking by I watch us fall through
Waiting for you to tell me you can't stay

A different rhyme scheme

I Wish

I have worked so hard
To rid my mind of this phrase,
I wish I were happy,
And I've tried to accept my life as it is,
But hearing that phrase
Come from a friend's mouth
Solidifies how impossible
It is.

I must admit
The part of that phrase that taunts me the most
Is that I say it in the past tense,
I wish I were,
Because heaven forbid
I said a wish for my future.

this has been sitting in my drafts for far too long
here's to releasing it to the wild-

Burrowing

I wish I could be
The best thing for us
But you and I know
I'm just a curse

When love touches me
It turns to dust
And hatred burns
With every touch

Tears turn to ash
Whilst pain fights inside
The soul strives to escape
And you sink in lies

Sorrow burrows itself
Into my smiles
Spreading its wings
Ready to devour

At 12:20 pm today ...
love looks like
wishing
wanting
and letting go.
wake up,
let go.
sleep,
let go.
wake up,
let go.
sleep,
let you go.
it’s never ending
...until it does,
but what will that look like?
will this ending look like you?

... love today looks like
wishing
wanting
and letting go... of you baby .

Sick

There is a song
hot and heavy on my breath
like this cough that's been bothering me the last two days.
There's always a song,
but usually I'm not so sick that I can't do anything except write it.

//windows

Staring out the window
I only see your face
Smiling, joking, laughing

Across the way, there’s a house
And in it, all the lights are on
Warming, glowing, sharing

And there I could see us
Radiant in all that brilliance
Dancing, living, loving

Pretty Little Liar

You said so many pretty things to me
Made me feel special
Treated me like a queen
Talked to me like I was some spectacular thing

But your lovely little words were empty
In the end your silence spoke louder
Than any of the pretty things you once told me
Your actions revealed everything
I guess that’s the difference between you and me
I meant it wholeheartedly when I told you I cared
It seems you never meant a single thing
And insanely
I still only want the best for you
Seems you only wanted the best for you, too
And I guess I wasn’t good enough for you
But that’s okay
I still want you to be happy
Despite the fact that you cut me deeply
Because I was nothing if not real with you
I was exactly who I always said I was
You turned out to be a stranger and you broke my heart and destroyed my trust
But that’s okay
I wish you lovely days
In spite of the rain filling mine
Even though you caused me pain
I wish you only sunshine

I got my heart broken pretty recently and it’s been a couple months now of just crying and writing to deal with it
