Amanda Seltrecht Poems

I said until the day I die I will spill my heart for you
Until the day that I die I swear that it is true
You said until the day I die you will spill your heart for me
Until the day I die you will forever care for me
...

This is real, this is me, this is who I want to be,
I am sorry, but I have to choose my own destiny.
I am taking two steps forward, and one step back,
This time I am making sure that I stay on the right track.
...

Your standing there with your pretty brown eyes,
Are you being for real or are you in disguise.
I met you not too long ago,
These feelings I cannot help, but show.
...

Ten million people each with their problems
why should anyone care
I am not just a girl vastly lost in this world
Lost in the sea of faces
...

she hides under covers afraid of the dark
shadows on the wall such a lasting mark
she tries to be brave and sheds no tear
Look inside you see nothing but fear
...

I have learned that the prettiest roses have the sharpest thorns
Those who cannot move on from pain live their lives in mourn
Why does love have to be so cruel
Why can we just make our own rules
...
