Amber Baggiore Poem
I'm cold.
I shiver, but I don't shake.
I smile, but it's all fake.
I never thought my heart would break.
I've got nothing more for you to take.
I'm numb.
I think I'm sad, but I don't cry.
I don't smile, but never wonder why.
I don't even flinch when I hear you're nearby.
But then I look at you, and I die.
I'm gone.
They always told me heartbreak wasn't real.
That I'll be just fine, it's no big deal.
Now my family cries, sitting down for a meal.
They could have saved my life, but this thought they conceal.

Amber Baggiore Poem
Yesterday I was unstoppable and courageous, I was strong.
But today was much different, something must have gone wrong.
My routine is still the same, I'm predictable at best.
Yet something about it made it harder than the rest.
Could have been the breeze-the way it felt in my hair.
It was a subconscious reminder that you no longer care.
Why are you on my mind, anyway? Shouldn't this be in the past?
While the memories, they fade, the pain always goes last.
I'm stronger than this, I am, no one can me that I'm not.
In this web of lies you weaved, for some reason, I'm still caught.
I thought things were looking up, but something within me has died.
Everything I've been feeling I keep secret, and I promise I never lied.

Amber Baggiore Poem
Still here, still waiting, still broken.
Still wasting my time crying over words unspoken.
Still breaking my heart, centering my thoughts around you.
Still screaming, still sobbing, but that will never do.
Still convinced you're the one, although I know that you're not.
Still turning to drugs, taking an emotional shot.
Still dreaming about you, last thought every night
Still telling myself that I'll be alright.

Amber Baggiore Poem
I was not the first, will not be the last, who did not understand.
This feeling is not made up, I had to experience it firsthand.
One day I stopped smiling, the next I went numb, but did I even care?
Every task seemed so menial and each hour dragged on, regardless of who was there.
I trashed my ambitions, but even worse, I threw away my dreams.
The next day I felt hope and then I realized, nothing was how it seems.
The light at the end has since gone out, what is the point of my life?
Tonight, instead of sleeping alone, I'll go to bed with a knife.
I carve away at my skin, and, for the moment, I think I'll be okay,
But I wake up in the morning and realize the pain is here to stay.

Amber Baggiore Poem
There's a knock, you want in, but I can't open the door.
I've built a wall so high I can't see over it anymore.
I look through the window, you're alone, it's cold out there.
You look deeply into my eyes, but get back a blank stare.
You shiver, then you beg, 'please, just one chance."
"I can't. I can't do it," I say back with a quick glance.
But you stand there, you wait, break down into tears.
This mountain I've built, it took years and years.
Years of betrayal and heartbreak, all wrapped in distrust.
I thought about suicide a few times, but it was nothing more than lust.
You're still there, outside, waiting for me to let you in.
We both know it won't happen, there's no way you will win.
So instead I step outside and sit down next to you.
If you're going to freeze waiting, let God take me too.

Amber Baggiore Poem
The stars in the night sky twinkle, but never will they dim.
Small fish in the ocean feel threatend, but never cease to swim.
The leaves on the tree will fall, but never stop regrowing.
The tears in your eyes may continue, but never stop knowing:
You're beautiful and you're strong, no matter what you might thing.
That ride you're on will stay afloat, I promise it won't sink.
Life threw you a curveball and you knocked it out of the park.
You may need a flashlight now, but where you're headed is never dark.
The future is a scary place but it only gets better from here.
No matter how down you feel today, know that inner peace is near.

Amber Baggiore Poem
My tear-stained face no longer lights up the room.
Steady rain still falls but the flowers don't bloom.
The world is full of darkness, more than I ever knew.
And the rain won't stop falling, all of this because of you.
There was a light in your eyes, so much promise within.
But the night you walked out, on your face was a grin.
You were hiding pain and hiding fear, most of all, hiding love.
Remember how beautiful I was? As if sent from above.
Things are different now that you're gone, it's me leaning on me.
My heart is aching, tears are falling, are you too blind to see?
How do you show someone you love them if they won't give you a chance?
My heart is screaming out your name, PLEASE, just one more glance.
Then I will make it through tomorrow, fill my heart up with hope.
But the next day when I don't hear from you, I won't know how to cope.
This game called love-I'm losing. Or wait, maybe not.
I'm supposed to love you from afar. I can't believe that I forgot.
