Amanda Saveley Poems

Spending time alone pondering
The mysteries of life and my own twisted psychology
Writing and sleeping like both are the plague
Not able to avoid that which makes me insane
...

Step by step
Word for word
My fingers at the keys are better
Than a pick to my wrist
...

I dream without sleeping
Memories running across my mind like stars cross the sky
A shimmering brilliance fading to dust
Skinned knees and bruised hearts never really heal
...

I miss her...
Her kind smile...
Her fond words...
Her jokes...
...

His hands...
I watch them intently,
Waiting for what secrets they might unfold
Beneath those fingers that grip the pen
...

eyes like two sparkling beads of ebony
breaking through the darkness
glittering like celestial jewels
her smile is ivory against porcelain skin
...

I have scars
You just can't see them
They're not behind my eyes,
But they're in my tears
...

Today, I rid myself of you
I rid myself of you
And all your
Stupidity
...

She's pretty,
Modest,
Emotional,
Slender,
...

Love, I have hated you,
Feared you,
Manipulated you to become what I wanted,
You Godforsaken enemy
...
