Amanda Shelton Poems

I feel you crumbling in my arms
like a porcelain heart down
to the girth you fell so hard.
...

No one looks when we say goodbye
dying just to survive
all the things we set aside
all the friends we leave behind
...

Until it happens to you
you won't know it won't be real.

Just listen and see the truth,
...

I have seen humanities
shadow dancing beyond
my dreaming eyes.
...

Fear can make you stronger or weaker
it's up to you.

I learned, it's okay to not always be okay.
...

She's got diamonds in her eyes,
she glistens and shines.

Through the night I don't
...

Love use to be my friend,
it use to hold me kiss me,
and it kept me safe.
...

If I fall would you catch me?

I once stood on mountains,
swam the depths of the ocean,
...

love is rich with both honey and venom.

I collected many broken hearts over the years.
sat them in my glass jars of broken dreams,
...

A miracle is nothing to ignore.

Like a grain of sand blowing
in the wind there is another
...
