Tatyana Carney Poet I do not know?

Amanda's Heart

And so she is alive tonight
moonlight floods her room
while every desire she dares to have
hangs motionless in the air

The tv is blaring in the very next room
She doesn't hear a sound
The children are having their big tea party
She sits firmly set in her chair.

The rest of the world thinks she's strong as steel
but she will combust as straw
She knows her emotions are boiling right over-
her passion for living to bare.

She closes her eyes to the moon
and swallows her tears down her throat
She pulls up a smile from her hopeful old soul
And sees if there's tea left to share.
