Joshua Amburn Poems

They don’t know how I feel
The pain inside
The smile on my face
Covers the hurt I hide
...

All that surrounds me is but a lie
As tears fall from bloodshot eyes
Twisted thoughts fill my head
Hoping soon that I’ll be dead
...

How much truth is in love
When the words fall to the floor?
Is it an empty emotion
An illusion of something more?
...

Life holds me where I stand
Immobilized in despair
Kill me with your words
Cut me with your stare
...

Why can’t I sleep
I just dream of you
In the darkest nights
Your eyes burn through
...

I hate me because you love me.
You are blind and cannot see.
You deserve way more than I can give.
But without you, my darling, I cannot live.
...

She’s beautiful, as she spreads her wings
To mask the pain from your eyes.
You see the black that slithers through the colors
Like a sunset beneath the marks of night.
...

You hold visions
Of hope in your eyes
Your soft, sweet words
To my face, brings a smile
...

You’re the one I want
My everything
In my harsh winter
You’re my spring
...

You told me things will be ok
Softly spoken lies
You told that you loved me so
Hate, then filled your eyes
...
