Love At Night; A Poem

Sitting here with memories
Sipping Arnold Palmer
Thinking about you
Wishing my heart was calmer

I feel it coming swiftly
The fluster comes in waves
And I realize I can't help
The way my heart behaves

Nor the way I act
When I see or think of you
And I never have to wonder
If you feel it, too

I know we both feel it
It's intense, scary and pure
I may not be the smartest
But this I know for sure

I will drift off soon
To a land of sleep and dreams
Of fairy tales and girlishness
Or so it would seem

But the reality of night
Is dark and oh so lonely
Where everything goes wrong
And I lose my one and only

The dreams used to come
And bring me peace at night
But now I pray for morning
For a little bit of light

But alas now I must go
To dream what isn't true
But know that when I wake
I will still love you

Alone: A Poem

I'm sitting here alone
Embracing all the pain
Feeling all the tears
As they fall down like rain

I'm sitting here alone
And I don't care who sees
Nothing even matters
When you're not here with me

I'm sitting here alone
With nothing else to do
And I can't seem to focus
On anything but you

I'm sitting here alone
With just you on my mind
And a pain in my chest
I know you know the kind


I'm sitting here alone
Your love has left me here
I cannot wait 'til we're together
The day comes soon my dear


I'm sitting here alone
I'll be here for a while
And when I finally see you
Only then will I smile

I'm sitting here alone
With love filling my heart
But you can piece together
What time has torn apart

I'm sitting here alone
And that's how it should be
Until the day shall come
When you sit next to me

Tears: A Poem

I can feel it sliding

Slowly down my face

Brought to me due to distance

Painful time and space

I can feel more coming

And dropping one by one

And I feel as if they're trying

To put out the sun

For I cannot feel it's warmth

All I feel is pain

Streaming from my eyes

Like a steady rain

I'm trying to be strong

It's how I know that I should be

But I'm broken when I'm alone

These things that you can't see

But tomorrow I will smile

For my friends, as well as you

But know what I am hiding

Because my smile isn't true

Feeling the Sun: A Poem

I look outside my window
At all the folks I see
Happy, giddy, laughing
That used to be me

I let the tears fall down
And count them one by one
Then try to count how long it's been
Since I last felt the sun

For me it's always raining
The sky is dark and scary
Then I get a flashback
A taste of peppermint cherry

And I began to smile
With caution, not with ease
And then that wave of fluster
That makes me drop to my knees

The sun, it starts to shine
With every word you write
And disregards the rules
What separates day and night

I feel a little happy
Not much, but it;s a start
And it's all due to you
The one that holds my heart






**I love you so much! You know who you are.

Until Later,
Amber<3

I Am... : A Poem

I am lost

Starving to death

In the loneliness 

That is me without you

I am afraid

Running from the truth

And escaping to lies

Which must be told

I am alone

Surrounded by everyone

All of my friends

But cut off from you

I am sad

Saddened by the truth

The horrible truth

That we can't be "us"

I am terrified

Shaking and sobbing

Inconsolable almost always

'Cause I don't want to lose you

I am flustered

Blushing and fidgeting

Wondering to myself

How you can get to me this way

I am nervous

Used to knowing what will happen

But now always surprised

And always on the edge

I am loved

Never thought it could happen

Not sure I wanted it to

But I wouldn't trade it for the world

My dearest love to whom this poem is dedicated:

I want you to know that you are everything I could ever ask for. You are my everything. If I may say something cliched, "If I had to choose between breathing and loving you, I would use my last breath to say 'I love you'."

My darling, this feeling is new and exciting and not going anywhere soon. I love you so much!

Love,

Amber

The Day We Are Together: A Poem

We met when we should not have

And fall in love, we did

But we knew it could not happen

And so this love we hid

We are still hiding how we feel

And thrust together we still are

We want to be together

Though risk is high and distance far

Alas, I will soon see you

A chance we never thought we'd get

We didn't know if we would make it

But please, my love, don't fret

For soon we'll be together

Although not the way we planned

But now we get to experience

A "The Notebook" romance firsthand

I cannot wait to see you

And I know you feel the same

And I cannot wait to see the day

That to all our love we shall proclaim

Perfect Love: A Poem

I wanted a love
So perfect and fine
For someone to love me
Because it's about time
I waited so long
For someone to care
To love me for me
And always be there
I was waiting for someone
Someone like you
But is it for real?
Tell me, is it true?
Do you really love me
Or is it all on my head?
Is it something you meant
Or just something you said?
Now I know that it's true
Of this I am sure.
You're everything I want
I could never ask for more.
I wanted a love
Like you; perfect and fine
They say nothing is perfect.
But that is a lie.
