Amanda Shelton Poems

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

No one looks when we say goodbye
dying just to survive
all the things we set aside
all the friends we leave behind
...

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,
...

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.
...

She's got diamonds in her eyes,
she glistens and shines.

Through the night I don't
...

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,
...

I have seen humanities
shadow dancing beyond
my dreaming eyes.
...

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