Amanda Shelton Poems

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

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

Just listen and see the truth,
...

If I fall would you catch me?

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

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.
...

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

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

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,
...

You use to whisper to me the possibilities of opportunities.

But you shoved me into a box stole the key locked me away in the depths of my mind.
...

It's not clever to lie steal
and cheat, being honest is
clever and brave.
...

Just around the corner lives my
shadow, it's a wonderer of time a
creative design made up in my own mind.
...
