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,
...

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

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

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.
...

If I fall would you catch me?

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

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,
...

Here I am, sitting on pens and needles
pain is my companion.

I wasn't born a renegade, or a knight
...

I dear to set brush fires
in people's minds!
Revolution is action
upon revelation!
...

Upon the rising of the sun
my dreams poured out upon the lukewarm beams,
as I began to stream
my light grew and grew.
...
