  Heartbeat

  

  By Amber4141610, Fairmount Heights, MD

  The sound of emptiness that fills my room when you're not there deafens my ears while I pursue your love. Some wishfor silence, but not me. I prefer the steady thump, thump, thump Of your heart beneath my ear while I'm lying against your chest....

  By Amber4141610, Fairmount Heights, MD

  To live and lie and love your world then lose it all with one last word To see it all disappear to mess it up you're love is gone you've lost all trust The world is black and white and in love it perishes so you must learn to fight and win against your foe Choose to give ...

  Bully and Bullied

  

  By Amber4141610, Fairmount Heights, MD

  I see the world in black and white. A fist raised, a word said. It's all just meaningless to me. After all, what's a bit of teasing, right? I cry a lot from shame Day to day, night to night It would mean the world to me to fit in To see the world in a different light No one car...

  To Whom It May Concern

  

  By Amber4141610, Fairmount Heights, MD

  I write this in hopes that you may soon see I am not your puppet, not your 'soon to be.' Expectations shield me from the life I'm sure to live. Yet, I can't complain about the life I have. And I see the stars when they shine so bright. I see the moon cut through the nigh...

  Not Your Puppet

  

  By Amber4141610, Fairmount Heights, MD

  I feel my arms being lifted, then my legs. One leg forward. Left, then right. Arms swinging without me wanting them too. My puppet master pushes me forward, causing me to commit crime, create destruction, experience pain, inflict wounds. I see the tears, flowing down their faces. Yet, I con...

  The Truth Behind the Dead Eyes

  

  By Amber4141610, Fairmount Heights, MD

  Eyes, lost in the midst of an everlasting eternity. Eyes, devoid of emotion, of depth, or love. No one shall save these eyes, for they are coveted by none. And yet, they are beautiful, these cruel, cruel eyes. Beautiful, because in all the time they've existed, they've endured loss u...

  Deceit

  

  By Amber4141610, Fairmount Heights, MD

  Realization dawns as clear as the sun in the sky. My mind tries to sort through the lies you bestowed upon me in all these years. Sorrow overtakes me like a young child being submerged in water, knowing they cannot swim. The pain of it takes my breath away. My mind is swirling like a twi...

  Time Flies

  

  By Amber4141610, Fairmount Heights, MD

  Look up, it's here One day it's clear Never noticed before Now it's easy to see We're drifting apart Sailing in the Black Sea As time goes by, we move on We're going our separate ways But I have a change in heart Rewind time Take it all back It's gon...

  The House by the Lake

  

  By Amber4141610, Fairmount Heights, MD

  Wind sweeps through the prairie on a cold winter ever. I hope to see the stars tonight above the maple trees. The grass meets the sand. The lake may ripple by. The sun won't be there, it will be gone from the sky. I dream of a windy night. It will smell of the oncoming snow. My sp...

  Always There

  

  By Amber4141610, Fairmount Heights, MD

  He had the face of a greek god his hair was black as coal his eyes were chocolate orbs it t'was his heart he chose to follow. He laughed at my antics, but smiled at my charm. I loved every bit of him, his face, his legs, his arms. He knew me in and out. He knew of every night and d...

  Love Lost

  

  By Amber4141610, Fairmount Heights, MD

  I stare into the night, watching the shadows flirt with the moonlight. I stare through my murky window, watching the darkness through my pale eyes. People pass me by, and some may wonder what is going on. People pass me by, and they stare at me with their cruel, cruel eyes. I don't acknowle...

  Say Good-Bye

  

  By Amber4141610, Fairmount Heights, MD

  The sun sets in an everlasting eternity, casting an orange glow and releasing mischievous shadows. Everything around me freezes, but time trundles on, and the tic-tock, tic-tock of the clock echoes in my ears. I look around as the beginning dwindles, carrying onto the end. As life speeds by, I sl...
