    Poetry Corner with Amanda Long

    The Truth

    We believe that honesty is the best policy,

    But we love to lie

    And we fight

    Just to get the blood pumping through clotted veins.

    Because the most epic love,

    Only lasts for never

    And love is harder to feel than to find–

    Taking an overdose today,

    And hoping tomorrow will be better

    Because they tell you it will be

    And they tell you to be happy you’re alive.

    But we only live long enough

    To watch others fall apart

    And watch ourselves become

     

     Lonely.

    Drowned

    She looks at me with glassy eyes,

    As she mirrors my intentions–

    Following, mocking my escape.

    So, I sat there

    And stared at her–

    Ripples scattered across her face

    And across my mind

    Both knowing

    that what was once alive is gone
