Amy Everett Poem
A black forest full of ash ,
the sky echo's and leaves a path of light just enough to make you hope there might be a way
out ,
so you search , and you find no water , no color, no warmth,
as you walk every thing becomes colder and darker and you ask me to take your hand , but
I know as the clouds turn in, so will your promises ... into lies.
what a demise.... I am the rock... you are but mere sand... you are black and white...
I am a garden you do not tend... You promise life... you promise velvet cakes lined with lace
and orchestras and touching souls melted like wax candles ....
and I remember as you look back at me and your eyes they gleam in my reflection and they
turn black and your hands they are cold... and the forest draws close and I realize now that
I am all alone... It was never you in my arms, it was always a picture I had, that I hold...
hold dear... and I cry... and I lay here in my dress ... and my pretty hair ... sick dressing
up for you... and the sun no longer shines... and you no longer lie.. and you say .. you don't
love me , and fine.. I don't love you....
And I lie here in the snow.... and the blood drips on the floor... and I let you go ... I have to
rip you from me like a disease... and I scream ... to let me go.. why don't you leave me
alone... and I changed my phone... There is no more sanity.....

Amy Everett Poem
Freedom comes from the one who left..
and I beckon the audience who stands before me,
and I am standing here in the deepest ocean ,
can you see me ,
I will never drown,
I am the power you tried to sustain,
and I...
turn my back on you as you call my name ,
and I ask my audience can they keep up with me?
who will be my next intention?
for I am a virgin to love,
a whore to life ,
come share my leather secrets,
can you get past my disguise ?
I dare you to try !
Shattered glass might scar you left from broken hearts
but I can mend you ,
If you can stand with me in my ocean
if you can catch me
if you can keep me
blood and bone
and don't forget sweat
swallow me
do you see me ?
As I stand here bare...
scared...
empty...
power..
My audience...

Amy Everett Poem
Displaced
shattered
disfigured.....
aching on the ground
I fall into the stream of disregard
forgotten by all
I thought held me
in contempt of heart...
brittle skeletons
left to move
fast through vast
dreams and memories
left to be stranded, to be strong
and I wonder
can I do it
and be proud
of who I am
of who I was
before you
branded me
bruised me
before you stole my generations
before you knelt in front of me eye to eye
and stole my crown like a wolf in sheep's clothing
and I stand bare,
as you walk this earth…
a martyr with everything,
plus my strength,
my heart and all it had to give
you walk
and the smile
you ripped from my face!
do you wear it proud?
skeletons in your closet now
how close do they lay
to the surface of your skin
as you sleep at night?
This pool of abandonment
drowns my last breath of life
and I try to walk
bent
but I am not dead-written by-amy everett

Amy Everett Poem
I disintegrate into the cold room ,
I feel you inside me screaming to save your life and I know it's not my choice.. I begged him
not to drive us here.. and I sit here.. I see your picture on the screen , and I hold the tears
back, knowing it's my job to protect you, and I couldn't even protect me, and they march me
from room to room in my blue gown.. and I wish he would come marching in to save us.. I
wish he would change his mind from his selfish anger and pride.. and in that moment I pray
for his cold heart to warm... and I feel you moving inside of me.. and it's almost our turn my
love.. and I hold you , and I know I can't live through this... no... and you ask me..why
doesn't he love us? and I don't know... and they bring us into the room and they put the
needles in and the room is cold and I want to run and I want to go out there in the waiting
room and scream at you , but it doesn't make a difference , you already made plans for the
day after you threw us away... two precious lives away... beauty and love in a trash ...
without regret ... without a tear ... and I know .. and I lie there as they put us to sleep ... and
I know when I awake you will be gone.. my love.. a whole world full of lullabyes .. and the
doctor tells me to count to five and I watch the door.. one last time for you to come.. to save
us.. but you don't... and now .. I wake up .. And he is gone.. and I drive home ... with you,
but alone... never again will I answer the phone ...to someone who said their heart was
empty to me.. to throw away it all... everything that was beautiful.. and good.. and that was
a world of love all for you... May you forgive me ... Christian Mathew Tuthill... 9-10-08

Amy Everett Poem
innocent eyes look up to mine,
chubby little arms wrap around my neck and you whisper goodnight,
a kiss on the cheek,
the grace of your sweet breath,
the innocence in your voice,
your heart beating next to mine.....
and it is then the nightmares of yesterday escape me and I remember why I want to live...
It is you , I wake up for, It is you I die for, It is you I pretend there are no monsters for...
you are the alphabet in my soup on the rainy days... and the rainbow colors on the grayest
page....
You are my love, Darling.... I love you my son.... Austin.... 9-14-08
