Amy Locke Poem
Let me in, let me in
I’m in the cold again
I’m nothing, I’m no one
Not deserving of them
My heart is breaking, my eyes so sting
Why won't you let me in
Was it my hair, did I do it wrong
Was it the way I sung my song
Why do you shutter when you look at me
Is it because I'm not pretty
I'll buy new clothes, I'll die my hair
Please let me in I'm cold out here
My mind is blank, my body frail
I'll give you gifts, I will, I will
Don't turn your back, don't walk away
I'm pleading, I'm begging
Please! won't you stay
I'm in a daze and completely lost
I want back in no matter what the cost
The final no, black tarnish of shame
Farewell to all, alone I am forsaken
As I look once more, what I love so much
I'd give anything for one last touch
Goodbye at last as I fade away
I will not bother you one more day
Let me in, let me in
I'm in the cold again

Amy Locke Poem
Forever
A faint voice whispered through
Calling softly
Letting in the cold taste of sorrow
Memories streaming within my mind
Flooding me with Forever
Could this truly be gone
Over and done with
Forever use to blanket me in bed
Forever use to catch me when I tripped
And now such a contagious word
Caught onto something it shouldn't have
Plunging into darkness
Such grief is blinding
Scratching and tearing until I was bare
Bare of sense
Bare of emotion
Bare of any happiness I could hold onto
This day, this Forever was unfair
Devastation and torment
Why had I loved so hard
Why when all that could come was Forever
Questions ask
Answers stay silent
No one knows
No one predicts
Forever is Forever
So I am forced to listen
Forced to be
Forced to wait
Forever
