where did you go?
amber Nov 2018
when I talk to you
it feels like
I'm talking to
a shell
of a person
288 · Jun 2018
hungry
amber Jun 2018
my bed is swallowing me whole
my negative thoughts are
consuming my being
i feel so heavy
i understand why my bed
can no longer support me
and has decided
to eat me instead

i feel full of lead

bathwater
amber Jun 2019
I hope I cross your mind,
as i sit in this tub,
watching the water,
drain around me.

unwarranted
amber Sep 2017
As I drift throughout fits of consciousness,
My soul flutters about the exposed space,
Surrounding me.
Its wings span out and glide gracefully.
Yet, so easily affected by nearing influences,
It instinctually dips low for a means of protection.

But when fear takes charge of its path,
Positives go undiscovered.
Perhaps fear debilitates reaping the potential warmth,
Another is radiating.
Maybe the individual’s soul is imbedded with good intentions.
Maybe the person’s heart is comprised of purity.

sweet then sour
amber Oct 2019
at the end of the day
if all falls through
and i end up
with some distaste
for you
thanks for being kind

the demon in my dream
was friendly
he was much nicer to me
than you ever were

wading
amber Jun 2019
i am drowning in a pitch black sea:
gasping for air,
and swallowing water.
my throat stings,
as i claw at the liquid,
finding nothing to hold onto.

the water reflects the beam,
from a lighthouse.

i scream out:
to the light;
i scream out:
to you.

but it never finds me,
and neither do you.
268 · Jul 2018
confined
amber Jul 2018
alone,
cold,
and senseless,
your skin somehow felt warm,
under my fingertips.
euphoria ensued,
but was soon replaced,
with an emptiness.
draining me of life,
i had to get out.
267 · Nov 2018
consequence of desire
amber Nov 2018
the sea of blood
you left behind
sticks to my memory
and stains the view
I had of you
263 · Aug 2018
egghead
amber Aug 2018
how can I know,
that we will never be,
but still harbor hope,
in my heart?

the strength of this desire,
is unparalleled,
and emotionally exhausting.

burial
amber Aug 2018
your existence,
pushes me into the ground.

breathing in dirt,
hurts my lungs.

inaudible
amber Sep 2018
my house resides
next to a busy road
the sound of traffic
is muffled
by its soundproof windows
and so are my screams
257 · Dec 2018
i want you but
amber Dec 2018
it is too late
for wishy washy wants
254 · Aug 2018
not a rose
amber Aug 2018
you are not a rose
i would never compare you
to something so fickle
and temporary
you are a piece of
broken handcrafted
glass
misunderstood
dangerous
but beautiful

baby fever
amber Jun 2019
baby so soft
baby arms
so chub
like a soft chubby pillow
hugged my hands
251 · Oct 2019
turn up the volume
amber Oct 2019
i wanna claw
my eyes out
then put on
my favorite movie
to be soothed
by the dialogue
as the blood
rains down my face

funhouse
amber Jan 2019
will i ever stop running?

when will I no longer,
feel the need to escape?

where are you?
are you happy there?
do you wish,
you could run too?

my life is terrifying me.
I often feel,
I have nowhere to go,

and so I run,
hoping to find something.
245 · Mar 2020
so i left
amber Mar 2020
all the wine
went to my head
you fell back
and went to bed
244 · Sep 2018
what was that
amber Sep 2018
i tried to yell
to release my hurt
but it was not a yell
rather a wail
blood curdling
sounding like an animal
being murdered
i scared myself
243 · Oct 2019
the butterflies flew away
amber Oct 2019
this is not supposed,
to fade this quickly.
I'm not meant,
to sink back,
into misery.
have initial butterflies,
already faded?
has my view of you,
already become jaded?
do you like me,
as you say you do...
or am I just ***,
and a dumb joke to you?

amber Feb 2019
i wanna see your heart:
open it up,
let me take a glimpse.

sheltering your fears,
holding your desires,
nurturing your passions,

i wanna feel,
how deeply you love.

caged
amber Feb 2019
I feel constricted .
My surroundings are unfamiliar;
Fear is consuming me.
Seeking comfort,
I sip a droplet of water.

Suddenly, a foreign hand,
Reaches into my confined space.
Frightened,
I bite a finger belonging,
To the giant, daunting extremity.

Droplets of blood,
Stain the wood chips below me.

The face the hand belongs to,
Has tears running down its cheeks.
I did not realize:
It was trying to caress me.
238 · Jan 2019
eat me
amber Jan 2019
i have gone down a rabbit hole,
and i see no way out.
I do not see anything:
there is no light.

i wish you were here,
but you are far away.
i guess i will sit here,
with my thoughts,
and stare into darkness.

amber Mar 2020
I refuse to acknowledge,
your vitality.
you do not deserve to exist,
in my reality.

amber Apr 2018
I'm in lust with you.
You have revealed,
Your passion parallels mine.
I refuse to release the string,
That's upholding these fits of,
Physical infatuation.
My bed feels warm.
You are no where near,
But at least i know,
You are thinking of me;
And it warms my bed.
235 · Nov 2018
individual
amber Nov 2018
how are you
so unapologetically...
you?
how did you
get that way?
i wanna be
fearlessly me
but sometimes
I'm unsure
how to be.
234 · Jun 2018
skin
amber Jun 2018
i think your scars are pretty.
i know,
they are meant to reflect pain,
or suffering,
or both.
but i cant stop looking at them,
and seeing how much beauty,
they add to your skin.
233 · Oct 2018
you
amber Oct 2018
you
an angel
carefully hand-crafted
you.

amber Nov 2019
I wait for a text
I hope for a call
naively

for when have you ever
been prone to
consistency

i am so young
so desperate
for someone to love me

is this why
i can't see
you're pretending
so blatantly?
228 · Mar 2018
pride
amber Mar 2018
I pushed you away.
You hurt me first,
I ran.
You hurt me again,
That time worse.
You knocked my legs out,
From under me.
Stop,
You're winning.
You always have been,
Can't you see?
227 · Aug 2018

amber Aug 2018
i wonder
if you will ever see
how gorgeous you look
as tears slip down your cheeks

amber Mar 2020
although I know I care too much...
I can't help that I stare too much,
now you are here,
and as I look into blue,
I can truly only see you,
and the color of your eyes.

i want to know
the sound of your heartbeat
so
send me your favorite song
223 · Mar 2018
at least there's stars
amber Mar 2018
When will the time come,
When I'll feel content?
The walls built around me,
Seem like cement.
My screams might as well be,
Nonexistent.

If not one heard it;
No one heard the yell,
No one really fell.

Laying down, I look up.
The sky offers no comfort.
I am still as I was,
I still feel alone and hurt.
220 · May 2018
you
amber May 2018
you
i could drown
in the love i have for you
and somehow
i wouldn't mind

amber Jun 2018
but then you are taken back to the same four, blank, white walls
that stare you in the face and speak: you are nothing at all

neptune is cold
amber Feb 2019
Neither of us,
Are on this planet.
I believe it is why,
I gravitate toward you.

With thought,
You seem to be,
Burning passionately,
On Mercury.
While I am slowly freezing,
On Neptune.

I need to fly away.
With all this distance,
I still think of you.
Maybe if I take refuge,
In another universe,
I will think of me.
216 · Jul 2018
grip
amber Jul 2018
you have me,
in the palm,
of your hand.
there is no grip,
yet I cannot flee.

I want to be,
entirely my own,
without thought of another.

yet I sit in your palm.
you have no idea,
and perhaps,
could not care less.
215 · Mar 2020
whisper
amber Mar 2020
I scream until
my throat hurts
until the shrill noise
scratches my esophagus

I scream until
the pain numbs a bit

I scream until
I cry
tears streaming down my face

curtains
amber Mar 2020
I know now,
That I was your home.
I'm sorry I kicked you out.
I'm sorry you're freezing;
I didn't know it was so cold outside.
I swear I didn't know it was pouring.

I don't think I can bear to look at you,
Through this window.
I don't know if you can tell,
But I'm sobbing as I draw the curtains.
214 · Oct 2019

amber Oct 2019
i don't regret
what we have done
you opened me up again
but i can choose to close
myself back up

I haven't seen your face
in days
we know it is better
this way

...I haven't seen your face

how long
must i wait
for this weight
to be lifted
off my chest
my heart and lungs
are being crushed

passion
amber Dec 2017
the ocean
of emotion
drowns me
but id rather be
gasping for air
than crackling
under the sun
feeling barren
in the desert of apathy

inquiry
amber Jun 2018
alone but never lonely
or
lonely but never alone

which
are
you?
inspired by bexey... does being alone fulfill you and make you happy?...
206 · Jul 2018
you're not even cool.
amber Jul 2018
you are pretty,
but that is all.
if your appearance
reflected your heart
it would be hard
for people to look at you,
in your distorted face
but i still would
to tell you
to go **** yourself.
205 · Mar 2020
trapped
amber Mar 2020
the light flickers,
everything in the room is illuminated,
only momentarily.
I wish I could see where I am,
it is all so unfamiliar.

the light's mischief is unsettling.
how dare it taunt me,
with the promise of sight,
when there is no such fulfillment.
