Amber Willis Poem
I know how you feel
Is a phrase used to often
One that I hate to hear
Because you don't know how I feel
And you never will
You might have some understanding
And you might be able to relate
But until you've been in my shoes
Been through exactly what I have
You have no understanding of what I do
Have you lived through the torment
Of a relationship abused?
Chop a limb from the family tree?
Had that crack of a gavel change your life?
Spilled your soul to a complete stranger?
Sat around with cops and explained your life?
Had your very own social worker?
No?
Then please don't tell me
"I know how you feel"
Because until you've been in my shoes
Seen all the things I have
And dealt with them too
You'll never know how I feel
So please don't tell me you do

Amber Willis Poem
I meet you in the morning
Knowing the day is going to be slow
Because you leave next block
And will be gone all day
Still I walk the halls
Knowing you're not there
But I can't help watching everyone
Hoping to catch a glimpse of your face
For it is your face
That comes to mind
Whenever I laugh
Or when I'm sad
It is your face
That makes my heart skip a beat
Brings my butterflies to life
And makes my face glow
It was you that saved me
Before you were even mine
You saw the darkness around me
And taught me to love the light
With each passing moment
I like you even more
And with every new day
We become ever closer
Then the truth hits me
Realization came out of nowhere
It crosses my mind
Every time I think of you
Telling you is the hard part
But I think you already know
The truth of it is
I think I'm falling in love with you

Amber Willis Poem
Home Again
I want it to feel like home again
Like I belong here; this is where I live
To have that feeling of family
And to know that I'm loved
But I lost that along time ago
It's been a long year
Filled with its ups and downs
A year full of stress
And a year to worry
I've seen death and new life
Brought to the world this past year
I've lost friends and family
But gained both as well
I know people come and go
And things change so we can learn
But sometimes its harder than I can handle
And I often wake up just wanting to go home
And then it hits me that I'm already there
Because although this may not feel like home
That's what it will always be
My family is here, and so are my friends
My life as I've always known it, is here
The memories, the good and bad
They will always remain with me
I want things to be like they were before
I want it to feel like I'm home again
But if it doesn't I will survive
Because I've got all that I need
I'm surrounded by an amazing family
And I couldn't ask for better friends
I know they will always be there for me
No matter what, through thick and thin
And I see it now, I understand
And I'm finally beginning to realize…
I AM HOME AGAIN

Amber Willis Poem
Wisdom smells
Like the autumn wind.
When I see Wisdom I
Hear chimes blowing
in the wind
Wisdom is very tall
And she has long dark hair
Wisdom has baby soft skin
She often wears royal blue
Wisdom is like the rainbow
After a thunderstorm
Wisdom is often
A mighty fortress
Wisdom is a teacher,
Counselor and friend
She is the mother
Of understanding
And the cousin
To knowledge
She enjoys walking
The beach at sunrise
And reading a
Great book

Amber Willis Poem
Where are you now?
Will you be able to find your way?
Step into the darkness, take a chance
The path is long
The way is hard
Where are you now?
The light is deadly
Take the path unknown
Step into the darkness, take a chance
The light is blinding
Change your path
Where are you now?
Be careful, watch your step
The path to take is unstable
Step into the darkness, take a chance
Do you see where you're going?
Is the end of your path near?
Where are you now?
Step into the darkness, take a chance

Amber Willis Poem
I don't want to lose either of you
But I can't keep playing middle man
Each day becoming more stressful
Being pulled on; playing tug-a-war
One of my best friends
And one of the best guys
I've ever known; my boyfriend
I'll never be able to choose
But caught in the middle
It seems I have no other choice
No matter what I decide to do
I'll never be able to please you both

Amber Willis Poem
Your love is something
I can’t explain
It’s impossible to describe
The way you make me feel
I don’t understand
How you can hold me close
Making every bad feeling disappear
And then suddenly I know
Everything is going to be okay
I can’t find words to tell you
How much you mean to me
You’re the source of my inspiration
You’re my light in dark times
You’re my central source of happiness
You are my boyfriend and best friend

Amber Willis Poem
It's days like today that make
me want to hold on a little longer
We had fun laughed joked
and for once we were us again
I felt like I was back in school
hanging out with my crush
When it made my day
Just to have you hold my hand
But it's nights like tonight
fights like we had
The refusal to talk it out
that make me want to scream
To sit down and cry
hoping my heart would feel better
It's nights like tonight
that make me want let go and give up
It's a mixture of these things
that make me wish my head and heart would agree

Amber Willis Poem
Afraid
Of losing him
And everything we've become
What we have
And what we have yet to learn
Of what will happen with him here
Of life without him
Of this body and soul longing
Longing of forever with him
Of what the future holds
And being able to embrace it all

Amber Willis Poem
Its time for new beginings
Shared with new people
People met all along the way
People to make new friends
To build new relationships
To move past the hurt
And start over new
People to pull us back up
When we stumble to the ground
People to cheer us up
When our faces form a frown
To understand what we need
And when we need it most
To become the people
We will always hold close
