Amanda Deupree Poems

Is this jealousy or something more?
Is this meant to be or just a chore?
Why is it I let you in,
knowing you'd do this again?
...

I'll never be what they are
I'll never be a shining star
I burn to dim for you to see
My fire rages internally
...

Floods of tears roll down her cheeks
like a faucet
trapped inside it has been weeks
she's lost it
...

when mournful cries of misery
bring hardships to your door
look it straight in the eyes
and say I cry for you no more
...

Seconds, Minutes, Hours
ticking in my ear
Bells ringing, and bells chiming
Running out of time is my only fear
...

In your absence I'll hold a pillow
I'll fill your silence with music
I'll allow the memories to be good
I won't think the worst
...

Suddenly I don't know what to say or what to do.
I'm spending far too much time in a dream.
Too much time just thinking of you,
and since when did you know
...

What would it take
To break me from his green eyes
is there something addictive
something hidden behind his lies
...

The hardest thing I've had to do
is admit to loving you.
The hardest thing I've had to say
is goodbye and walk away.
...

Looking to the sky for answers never found
Holding a dream to fly while rooted to the ground
My heart lies in the garden of tomorrow
My soul stuck in today's sorrow
...
