We Should Go
J Valle Jan 2017
There's a new restaurant
Downtown
We should go, we should go

That town looks quite nice
During spring time
We should go, we should go

That place looks
Kinda cool
We should go, we should go

You know?
I've never been there before
We should go, we should go

"I don't want to be rude,
But I don't want to see you anymore"

*I should go, I should go

Am I?
J Valle Feb 2016
Maybe I died.
Maybe my heart couldn't take it.

What if I died?
When you left me for him?
Maybe I'm dead

I may be laying
Two feet under ground
While you lay in bed
Next to him.

What if it killed me?
And my heart gave up
Like you gave me up.

So this is hell?
It must be
Maybe I'm a ghost.

And I'm not haunted by memories
Maybe I haunt them

Was I that bad?
Is this the purgatory?
Did you mourned my death?

Are you even aware that I'm dead?

Maybe I died
Poisoned with kisses
Scorched by your touch
Shot with promises

Distance.
J Valle May 2016
I'm slowly heading
To what you where when you left
I've been where you were
When you met me
And I still felt young
I've learned what you did
Felt what you did once
And I still felt far away
I'm slowly catching up
With the last memory of you
But you are still far away
I'll never catch up with you.

Edge.
J Valle Apr 2016
Why does my mind keeps wandering,
To the curves of your eyes,
And the pitch of your voice?
Why does my heart keep aching,
To an old photograph,
And a corner at a park?
Why does my lips keep recalling,
To a first kiss in a bench,
And a farewell that still lasts?
Why does my mind keeps trying,
To forget your face and your pace,
And still think of you each day?

Storm.
J Valle Jul 2016
Raindrops wail
And thunders shutter,
As my heart fears to fail
And my mouth begins to stutter.

Lightnings flash
And static grows,
As my feelings slowly crash
And deception comes.

There is a storm in my heart
A hurricane at my soul
And your name on my lips.
I Hope you choose me.
501 · Jul 2016
Better.
J Valle Jul 2016
I have to ask
How's he better than me?
Why did you chose him,
Instead of me?

I don't want to know,
Cause it'll break my heart,
You won't say it,
And I won't mention it,
But we both know
He's better than me.

He's got something
You won't let go,
Something brighter
Something better

I have to ask,
Will you be mine again?
He's got everything, but I promise you all my heart if you are willing to take it.

Fourteen days
And I knew I liked you
Fourteenth
It all began
Fourteen times
I followed you
Fourteen days
You ignored me
Fourteen texts
You read
Fourteen lies
I believed
Fourteen dreams
You shattered
Fourteen times
I think of you each day

Fourteen months
Since the last I saw you.

Shattered.
J Valle Nov 2015
You have done it again
I fell for your lies
And your twisted games.

I fell for your guilt
Mistake it for love
Believed you wanted me
But you were still with him.

I was in pieces, broken
Then you came over
Step on what was left of me
Said you were sorry
And turn back
To stare at your lover.

This time
Broken I was not,
But shattered instead.

The worst part is still
How much
My heart thinks
Of you.

Forgive me
J Valle Sep 2015
Forgive me,
If my lips
Find others
After you.

Forgive me,
If my mind
Does nothing
But to think of you.

Forgive me,
If I miss
Every single
Thing of you.

Forgive me,
If I hate
The one
Who take you.

Forgive me,
If I still
Love you.

Let it be prismatic,
Make it enigmatic,
You can even let it be exotic,
Avoid allowing it to be toxic,
Don't be like an alcoholic,
And don't let it turn melancholic,
For god's sake make it romantic
But make it happen.

Facts.

I have to face,
That its his face,
The one you can't stop thinking of.

That you are written,
With fire in my heart,
And I'm written,
With chalk in your heart.

That you are as faithful,
To your words,
As you are to your love.

I'm biding my heart,
For a couple of minutes.

I'm falling at 9.00 pm
With gray eyes and a soft voice
I'm nothing but a lost little comet,
Following a stormy eyed big man,
I want to forget all the years between,
And feel the lips of 9.00 pm,
But why would a man turn around,
For a little comet?

Treason
J Valle Jul 2017
Oh dear mind of mine,
Are you really mine?
Are you really connected
To my bones?
Are you really a part of
Myself?
Can't you hear my heart?
Screaming his name,
Everytime you bring us
A picture of himself,
Didn't you get the memo?
Where we left very clear,
That it was for our safety,
To not overthink his face,
Leave his smell locked out,
But here you are,
What a traitor,
Our heart skipped a beat
And now can't stop crying
All because,
You are thinking on your own,
Oh dear mind of mine,
Just spare me one,
Let me live with no regret,
With no sorrow
And no heartache.

Butterflies.
J Valle Sep 2016
Small, unnoticed,
Just a flicker in your chest,
Not enough to realize.

How long has it been since you felt it last?

Grand, unpredicted,
Exploding lights in my chest,
Dumb enough to realize.

How long can I last without feeling it again?

You say it's better to scare it off,
I say it's better to face it off,

Don't you think, that I know,
How bad is this for my own?

You realize,
And you decide,
That my wings shoud be shaved off.
While all I want,
Is our wings to fly together.

If I'm a silly butterfly,
I hope he is drums and fireworks on the rain

Waking Up.
J Valle Jul 2016
I woke up
With last night's dream
Still in my head.

With your voice and touch
With your eyes and smile
In my mind
With everything I know
Will never have again.

With the feeling of your lips
Against mine
With the taste of them
With your laugh,
I felt happiness
Once again.

I had a dream
Where you were mine
And I was yours
All I wanted
I had.

I woke up
With last night's dream
Still in my head.

With a broken heart
Without you.

Irony
J Valle Nov 2015
I never thought I would fall in love
Yet I did.
I never thought you would love me
Yet you did.
I never thought I would loose you
Yet I did.
I never thought you would cheat on me
Yet you did.
I never thought I could see you again
Yet I did.

Everything I've never expected has happened.

I always thought I would be the same
Yet I didn't
I always thought I would love you forever
Yet I didn't
I always thought you would keep me safe
Yet you didn't.
I always thought I would fight for love
Yet I didn't.
I always thought you would change
Yet you didn't.

While all  I've hoped for never occured.

What young people do.
J Valle Sep 2015
We can cry
Till our eyes
Are burning.

We can laugh
Till our lungs
Are burning.

All in just one day .

We will promise,
We will vow,
For a future
Unknown to us.

Look at the sky,
And feel the stars
Like raindrops
In our eyes.

We can cry
For the beauty
Of life,
Or for the simpleness
Of it.

We will risk
All we've done
For a few seconds
Of fun.

Create memories
Everywhere we go.

We will promise
When we are happy
And curse
When we are angry.

Forgive in exchange
Of a kiss in the lips

We will love,
Like there's no tomorrow
And postergate what we want
As if we had a lifetime.

We won't finish all
We begin,
We will end things
That we shouldn't.

Appreciate
The small flames
But forget
The warm it gave.

We will get lost
In the way
Of finding ourselves.

We'll be selfish
We'll be humble
We'll be vain

We'll stay up
All night
Lookin at the moon.

Sleep all day long
Dreaming of,
What we will do.

Drink till we fall
And fast till it hurts

Create ourselves
Just as much as
We will destroy
Ourselves.

Tell the truth
With hesitation
And lie
With more faith
Than a preacher

We'll fight
For no reason
And give up
For the wrong reasons

But then again,
That is what young people do.

Tears.
J Valle Sep 2015
What are this tears
running down my face
doing?
Who let them escape?
Who let them exist?
What is their point?
Their salt only sours my soul
And their warm mocks,
To the cold of my heart.
Who said tears
could do you well?
What's the good
In feeling so small?
It feels like I'm melting
I'm so sick of it
Who would've thought
You would do me so wrong?

As One
J Valle Apr 2015
There is a difference
between making love
and having ***
we did both.

And I must confess
never have I felt
so in peace
as laying together
fully undressed.

There was no you
there was no me
all there was
was us.

Your touch
through my skin
and that small grin
on your face
as you whispered

I love you

Pressed your head in mine
looked you in the eye
and said

* I love you too *

Then you
and I
became one.

Now all is left
are the memories
of your touch
bringing me
to my knees

Your breath
caught in my mouth
and your taste
printed in my skin.

Now I sleep alone
and roll side to side
looking for,you
and wonder

If you're missing me
the way
I'm missing you

What you wanted.
J Valle Mar 2016
When you look at me.

Do you see the boy,
Who played with strings?
Or perhaps,
Do you see the man,
Who'll become a king?

Do you fear,
Of the things I could repeat?
Or perhaps,
Do you believe the things,
I can achieve?

Do you see the life,
I cannot give?
Or perhaps,
Do you see the wife,
I'll never kiss?

Do you see the time,
I've wasted?
Or perhaps,
Do you see the life
I've chosen?

Either way you see
Who I
Was
Or who I
Will be
Will you ever see
Who I
Am?
Will I ever be
What you
Wanted?

Lost Current.
J Valle Aug 2016
It's raining on my face
Humid roots
Growing through my cheekbones
Cyclones of joy and sorrow
Of desire and confusion
Streams of love
And puddles of defeat.

A tender clash
Reuninting sensations
That weren't supposed to meet
A crash for your decisions
And all my fears
But a strike like this
Has never feel better.

I swear my intention's not to deceive
Nor to turn your heart upside down.

A wreck of emotions
Surrounding me,
Surrounding us.

But your eyes are the sunshine
To this raging storm
That comes within me
And I can't help but strive
For the love I know gone
But hope for its return.

How many times,
Has my heart been broken,
By your words and your promises,
So hollow,
They resemble to my heart.

That you caught me again,
Fooled me once more,
Played your games,
And ended up loosing any way.

Let's all raise our glass,
A small toast for those poor souls,
Let's drink for our lost friends,
Lost in the idea of loving a fool.

A second for the Second,
Stolen stares for the Second,
Empty promises for the Second,
Rapid kisses for the Second.

We all know now,
Being the Second Lover,
Will bring nothing but despair

Let's all not forget their sacrifice,
We all need a cautionary tale.

Haunted
J Valle Aug 2015
They say memories will haunt you
broken promises will keep you awake
and smiles will fade.

But I'm more haunted by
All the things I wanted to do
And now I will never will.

Remembering kills me
but it is the thought of
you and I buying groceries
for a home we will never own
that haunts me

All the promises I never made
About a future
I will never see
that keep me awake

It's not thinking
of my life before you
that scares me
it is your life
without me
that lurks in my dreams

I'm not haunted by
the things I shared,
The things that haunt me
are all the ones
I never shared.

I'm not just haunted by you
I'm haunted by
what you where
what you are
what you will be
and
what we will never be.

A story of Me.
J Valle Aug 2015
Let me tell you the story
of one named Me
who met one
named You
who went by Yu
for the love of
Oh.

Me first fell in love
with Yu's laugh
and then
with Yu's face
but what Me
loved the most
was Yu's heart.

Yu's smile
brightened Me's life
fade the darkness
and fill it with kisses.

Me and Yu
used to meet
at the last bench
of a magical park.

The trees where
the witnesses
of how their love
was proffessed.

And kiss by kiss
they got
an 'I love you'
that lasted longer
than the time they had.

Me knew
all the many reasons
of the love towards Yu

But Me never knew
what Yu saw in Me.

That would be Yu's story.

As time passed
the 'oh's
became fewer.

And Yu
took them back
and became in You.

Me and Yu's story
ended.

The day You left with Him.

To keep you close and tight

For you to compare with
Your smile
So you can see it
Even from afar

Dreams
J Valle Apr 2015
How futile are our dreams, filling us with pure joy, giving us a way out of the nightmare of life, just to wake us in the middle of the chaos, hopeless, fragile.
Revealing our deepest desires, giving them to us, letting us touch the stars for a second, but we are never even close to the clouds, we are laying in the floor, chained to reality.
The despair and nostalgia becomes a part of our life, daydreaming about our dreams because they are better than our reality.
But desire is the other face of pain, both of them existing at the same time around us, we end up desiring something so hard that it becomes our conviction, we start doing everything for them, until we end up with a tragic real life and a perfect untouchable life.
Although life is the creator of our dreams, it will create our nightmares, reaching every pure place within us and poison it.
At some point, we'll loose our dreams, and start seeing life as something useless, better without us.
That's when the sinking feeling in the chest appears, the physical equivalent to a broken heart, revealing how broken we are.
We may have made mistakes, all of them just because we were trying to reach our dreams, but there'll come a time when those mistakes won't let us keep trying.
We've destroyed everything surrounding us, because life wouldn't let us fulfill our dreams.
And weakness becomes a familiar word, like a second name for us.
But what is truly weakness? A concept created  by someone to describe the state of someone else, every person in the world will tell us how to live, and now they can also judge us if we don't do what they say, and if we complain about the difficultness, they will call us weak, until ourselves start to believe it.
Then, we are weak, we are broken, we are misunderstood, we are judged, we are suffering.
All because we wanted something more.
Because we were doing what everyone does, what makes us human, desire, but since we desire more than what we were supposed to, people will think that we deserve to be punished.
But the truth is, we've already punished ourselves enough, we lose everything.
Empty, hating our desires, we end up.
So forgive me when I say, that I wish not to wake up from my next dream.

Next time I fall in love;

I'll be more cautious
And be less precocious
Won't keep my flaws in
Let my tears flow out
Add someone to my world
Instead of making them mine
Sing my lungs out
Won't shut my feelings

Nex time I fall in love;

It won't be with you.

Late Thoughts.
J Valle Apr 2015
It's been almost a week now, and yet you're still everywhere but where you should be.
How can you love someone and don't give a **** about them?
It's not the first time you leave, you've been gone longer, but there's a chance it may be the last one.
You said you loved me, missed me.
But here I am again, running in circles, all alone.
I can't keep doing the job for two, I can't keep doing the work for you.
I may not understand but at least I've tried.
You just left, oblivious if I cried.
You where right,you weren't playing with my feelings.
For to play with something requires affection to the toy.
Which you don't.
I'm not even that for you.

Anger Ramblings #1
J Valle Dec 2015
I can't take this any longer
My mind is now a haunting corner
There's no way to avoid it
My thoughts are flooded
With pictues of you
And your new ****** lover.

My tears are stucked
In the ol' realm of
"You really got me ******"
Stopped by anger and despair
Filling my insides
I'm about to explode
My heart is now a shattered
Mountain of drifting dust
All beacuse you couldn't wait
To get your **** ******.

Was it all worth it?
I guess it was
Since "the other"
Has become "the lover"
And the former lover
Now can't stay sober.

I don't care
That's all I'll say
Repeat it enough times
To convince myself
I really don't care
But trust me
This is something I can't bear.

One will taste happiness,
Your lip's softness
And that final exhale
You give at the end
Of every kiss.

The other will taste sorrow,
Your silence's pain
And that final glance
You give
Right before you leave.

One will feel your skin,
The beating of your heart
And the smile
You make
Between kisses.

The other will feel pain,
Your absence
And the sound
Of your voice
Saying goodbye as you leave.

He will be blessed
I will be cursed
He will walk between clouds
I will walk among devils

He will be chosen
I won't be anything.

or in the loneliness
of time.

remember I lived
remember I died
remember I'm there

When you miss my touch

When you miss my warm
remember it.
When you miss me
oh, please

Maybe I'm just afraid of accepting how wrong I am.
And how much I've messed up everything.
But,

I'm not sure if it was

or my greatest deal.

But maybe you were never there.

It wasn't part of my plans
To find love in such a strange land
Word by word
You caught my eye
And my sleepless nights
Were never lone again.

Old songs recovered its meaning
New ones gain a meaning, too.

The taste of colors became stronger
And day by day
My quirks became in super powers
And before I knew
We were already lovers.

I know
We may not last till October
Or perhaps
We'll last for forever
Honestly,
I root for the latter.

I wanted to say I needed you,
That my minds drags you like an old toy.
And that you won't spare me a thought,
Not even if your life depended on it.
That I hate you so much,
For breaking me like that.
And pretending like I never existed.
That it angers me.
How much I believed those brown eyes.
And fall for all now I know were lies.
That it breaks me even more,
To think about us,
And remember you everyday.
That you are a ghost that haunts me,
Everywhere I go and everyhow I feel.
That the image of you both together,
Is the center of every nightmare I have.
That it fills me with rage,
How I still fall for you,
And your sick games of power.
That I hate just how much I think of you,
But what I truly hate,
Is my inability to hate you.
I wanted you to know
Cause the silence is defeaning,
And this feeling overwhelming.

Staring at a blank page.
Waiting for you to say something.
But the silence is  deafening.
The waiting is a murderer.
Waiting for its victim.

Who believes you will come soon.
But I can't wait forever.

It is not the fact
Of you accomplishing
All of those dreams
That makes me sick
Or
How everyday
Your happiness grows
And enlightenes your days
To the point you want to scream
Or
How you are growing up
And learning the way of life

The fact of me
Not being there
To watch you
Smile

So long your taste has left me,
But not long enough,
For my love to leave me.

You were mine, once,
You held me so tight,
That my broken heart mended,
But not tight enough,
For my heart to stop needing you.

You were mine, once,
I loved you so much,
That my soul felt at home with yours,
But not much enough,
For your soul to stay.

You were mine, once,

When you held me so tight,
That I couldn't help to love you.

My carving days were over,
Little did I knew, where I was caught.
In a game where I was not your lover.

Cold hollow words
Felt meaningful and warm,
Gently kisses sharp as swords
I couldn't see you where here to harm.

I fell for your eyes,
Let them be my skies
But I was only falling for your lies.

And you are still here
Right in my chest,
Keeping you near
To what is left of myself

You came with your shiny armor.
Made of white teeth and bright eyes.
And from the highest tower.
I stumbled and fell into your arms.

It was your tender touch.
Your loving words.
And the truthful promises.
That made me yours.

And I thought.
That I finally could be happy.
But it was nothing but a simple grasp.
A flicker.

Now my hands are empty.
Missing yours.
My lips are lost.
Looking for yours.

My heart is now broken.
For the lack of you.
But maybe I should've listened.
When you said your pride was high.

Should've read between lines.

You found out.
That indeed, the tower surrounded me once.
But it was not protecting me.
It was protecting the exterior from me.

You were more pure.
Than a small child's laughter.
And all it took was one touch from me.
To leave you without a cure.

Now I'm alone.
And you realize, you've never needed me.
Go on with your life.
This was meant for me.

Relapse
J Valle Nov 2015
I hate the way
You make me feel
And the strong effect
You still got on me.

How you turn my world
Upside down and up again

It leaves me dizzy
Hands shaking
Heart shattering

I can't belive
How much I hate
How much
I still love you.

Still.
J Valle Apr 2015
I loved you, when you weren't looking.
I loved you, when your laugh went higher.
I loved you, when you smiled without realizing.
I loved you, when the anger took over.
I loved you, when you walked away.
I loved you, when you pushed me away.
I love you, now.

Final
J Valle Apr 2015
Can you feel it? How your blood vibrates through your veins?
that little push in your neck, that seems to never go away
Do you hear it? The deafening silence that lives inside your head?
how things shift into another in front of your eyes.
Can you see it? The weight of the choices you've made?
falling in front of you piece by piece.

Miss
J Valle Feb 2016
When someone leaves your life
To go on with theirs
There's a lot
To be missed.
Not the miss that remembers
And makes you ponder for days
Not the miss that forgets
And tries to remember.
When someone leaves your life
The miss you will encounter
Will be the one that is not there
The one that happens
Without you noticing it
The one that keeps on going.
What you will miss most
Is all the things that you will *miss
