AimeeLeigh Olsen Poems

Always tripping up cos'
my gaze was in the skies
worshipping the stars
and the way they
...

Stop! yelling at me
Im telling the truth
Stop! hurting me
Im bleeding already
...

We came to this disrepute
Unchallenged, your ego soared
While I cowered in your painful light
All the time I wanted to run
...

When trust divided
our two worlds collided
into a succession of smiles
It gave us some reason
...

It never occured to me
that it would come so suddenly
A look brought on by intimacy
A touch from beauty created
...

Running away, but I'm standing still
my mind flies through time
I am standing shoulder to shoulder
with the people I emulate,
...

I cannot embrace the feeling I used to live for.
It's not there anymore, it's not where it should be.
In my soul, lighting the fire that used to be in my eyes.
It's somewhere in the wind, sometimes I feel it rush past my ears.
...

I hate that I can't stop thinking about you.
I hate that I thought I was over it. Us.
I hate that I love us.
I hate that I have knots in my stomache when i think of you.
...

As you lift your eyes up to the sky
see me clear in this new light
It's not as if I was ever gone
just a burnt copy of what I used to be
...

Red, Tan, Yellow.
Sand of my youth.
Bright orange, ocean sunsets.
The smell of hot summer rain on the asphalt.
...
