So here I am, once again
Lacking all self esteem,
And dignity and pride,
But above all things,
Lacking him.

If I don't run in his direction,
If I don't hug him when he is near,
Is because all my loving,
I keep it caged,
Suffering,
Starving,
Begging for some love,
A kiss, a smile, a look,
Anything from him.

But I keep it caged,
For its own protection,
I'll let it die,
Rot and decompose,
A dying love is easier to take,
Than his indifference.

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.
J Valle Apr 2017
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?
J Valle May 2015
There,
In the night sky,
in the space between stars,
lies a dim light,
looking for its partner.

Flying in circles through space,
Floating still in the sky.
wandering around the corners
of the dreams of men
haunting the minds
of those who are awake.

There, it lies.
Lost in the light of its surrounding
slowly fading into a memory

Once it shined
More than any light,
but now
there's nothing it might,
since the light has died.
J Valle Aug 2016
Tirelessly, waiting,
For another week or so.
Listening to the silly advice,
That true love comes only for,
Those who wait.

All it takes is a word from him
A romantic speech,
A caring phrase,
To keep me hanging,
To this weird love.

I've been waiting, for him,
To be my true love,
Or the real one to show,
But it seems as if,
Whoever it is,
Still thrives for another.

I dream of his voice,
Whispering in my ear,
All those words,
I long to hear.

The feeling of kisses given,
Makes my heart drum,
Like with no other.

I could wait on,
But I can't keep following,
This old advice,
It leaves me cold,
When all I want is your heat.

Why should we keep on waiting?
I'm done with complications,
Be with me.
If you read this let me know, if you love me let me know, if none, just let me be.
J Valle Dec 2015
I had some letters,
Written with your small
Handwriting and,
Filled with promising moments.

Now they are somewhere
Where the trash went
Along with our pictures and,
All I thought mattered.

Conversations deleted
Sad songs play on repeat
Avoid your profile
I won't be able
To see you together
I've had enough with,
My ******* imagination
J Valle Jun 2017
My mamma has cancer and I
Haven't shed a single tear
But both my heart and mind
Run to you to feel you near.

You are that safe place
The haven to my chaotic surround
The chord I follow in this maze
My whole body aches for not having you around.

What do I do?
If I know you are not right for me,
If I know you love like a virus,
If I know you don't want me,

But

Yours is the hug I've been longing
Yours are the eyes that confort me
Yours is the only romantic love I've felt
(or at least that's how I felt it)
You are the person I want to be next to in this chaotic days...

I know it is sick,
You wrote me on my birthday,
And I didn't say a thing,
Yet here I am, writing you again

Where's my pride?
Where's my dignity?
You may ask.

My pride is right here, as well as my dignity,
They are here in this transparent lines,
They are in my honesty.

I didn't answer on the 14th,
Cause I didn't know what to say,
I felt the same cycle beginning again,
And I'm in no state for our silly games.

Maybe I still love you
Maybe I just need you right now.

I don't know what do I want,
I don't know if I want you back or
if I just want to feel again what I felt when I was with you.

I don't know what to do
Nor why do I think of you
I know you don't think of me back.

When in a blue notebook I,
Presented you the chance to change
Or be better,
You ignored the latter as well as me.

So I can imagine how this must look like
Again, my crazy obsessed mind running to you.
I swear it is not.

You might ignore this like you've done before,
Feel no obligation to respond
Feel no remorse for your actions,
Just do what feels right.

I'm just troubled, and I'm tired of speaking with you on my mind for months,
I'm setting it free,
My feelings,
My words,
And maybe, just maybe,
The last strands of you.
J Valle Apr 2015
I remember the first time
I whispered your name
like it was already mine
like it was my life.

your touch, so gentle in my skin
and your hand, laying in my chin.

your smile
your eyes
brightening my heart.

always yours
always mine.
J Valle Jan 2017
I hope one day you get to
Recognize and value happiness,
With whoever it is, even if it's on your own.

I hope one day you get to
Get rid off of that hidden depression,
That drives you to multiple raves,
But only keeps you in haze.

I hope one day you get to
Accomplish the few dreams you told me,
And all of those you did not.

I hope one day you get to
Feel as happy as I'm hoping to be.

My heart would wish for you
To realize you want to be with me,
But I'm truly hoping to get a real love somewhere.

With whoever it is, even if it's on my own.
So, mostly all of what I've written has the tag #yu, which was my own way of dedicating my numb lines to someone, but as poetic and good for art a heartbreak may be, my own heart would rather look for a different emotional muse, so this is my farewell to that lover, (also, the final time I'll use the #yu) even if he reads it or not.
J Valle Nov 2016
It is all about the memories,
That like the dreams we fail,
And the thoughts we will not share,
They drain and slip through our fingertips.

Waking up from a sad dream,
One we would love to forget,
But love induced sadness,
It is hard one to get rid of.

The dawn rises synching with your chest
Your eyes shining from the watery tears,
And your mind is playing games,
It feels as if you are together,
Then reality and the dream world collide.
And you are staring through the window,
All alone.

It is all about the memories,
Those we keep close to our hearts,
Close enough to make us feel alive,
Close enough to let them hurt us.

That like the dreams we fail,
We forget and never go for them again,
Ashamed of the idea of fulfilling them,
Too frightened to share them.

And the thoughts we will not share,
They are rotting in our veins,
Growing hungry inside their lair,
Waiting for a chance to escape.
J Valle Apr 2016
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.

I'm nothing
But a young beginner
And a proud believer.

I'm choking with
All of this shocking
Dumb illusions.

Of a future
Filled with surreal
Features.

Seeking the comfort
Of your voice
In the memory
Of the empty bottle.

I'm left with
My short knowledge of life
And my well known love
For someone else's lover.

An amateur in love
Too expert in heartbreak.
J Valle Mar 2016
For you
My best
Won't pass
The test
But if you try
I must not
Cry
If you don't get
What I try
To set
I'll have to change
And start to explain
If you don't set
And I don't get
You won't explain
Even if I go insane
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
J Valle Apr 2015
...If I shall not stay...

When the cold strikes,
under city lights
or in the silence of nights.

Remember my name
remember my way
remember my place.

When you feel alone,
in a crowded place
or in the loneliness
of time.

Remember I'm here
remember I lived
remember I died
remember I'm there

When you miss my touch
remember it.
When you miss my warm
remember it.
When you miss me
oh, please
remember me...
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.
J Valle Aug 2015
You get there
by words unsaid
things undone
falling in love.

It is surrounded
by frozen smiles
haunting memories
broken promises.

It is made
by the sound of kisses
a big laugh
a dropping tear

It is life without you.
J Valle Nov 2015
Eve shared it and
Condemned human kind.

Newton felt it and
Changed the world's mind.

Snow White tasted it and
Proved love at first sight.

Turing used it and
Left the world behind.

That is how
I realized
It was me, who
Gave you the power
To change
Or ruin
My life.
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
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.

Tell me if it was worth it
the cries

the lies
the long nights

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.
J Valle Aug 2016
It turns exhausting
Over and over again
With no change at all.

Why don't you hate me?
God knows I hate this feeling
Of never being enough
To turn my dreams into reality
And dissolve my nightmares
In oblivion.

I can't be the other
I want to be your lover
But that's work for another.

My heart keeps beating
Like a broken record.

So stupid
That it keeps loving you
After all the waiting,
All the hurting,
With no change at all.

Over and over.
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
J Valle Feb 2016
I want you to love me
I need you to love me
Calm me
Don't haunt me
Make me whole again.
Don't just pop
And dissappear
Since a word from your lips
Will keep me on my knees
You may go
And be with him
Love him the way
I want you to
Love me
You may come
And make me cry
Then just leave
Without a lead
All I wish is
You could take off
With my memories
Whipe my mind
Hand me my heart back
But all I crave for
Is for your love
Your tender touch
And your voice
In my ears
Filling my heart
Making me feel joy
But all there is
Is what it was
And all there was
Is now there gone
With you.
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.
J Valle Nov 2015
There is no need
To remember my dreams
I know what they are all about
Your taste lingers in my mouth
Long after I woke.

The swolen feeling in my chest
Is all I need to know
Another night has passed
I have been dreaming of you
Once again.

When I was able to remeber
Those dreams of november
I dreaded the time to sleep.

Now that all that I have
Is the dark feeling of
A forgotten dream.
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.
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?
J Valle Feb 2016
I keep running every day
To avoid the ghosts,
Being careful with what I say
And with everything I thought of.

Mantaining busy my mind
Working
Eating
Drinking
Expecting
To someone kind
Who can stop me
From crying

But my heart is
A brainless fool
That keeps looking for you
Everywhere I see,
That keeps whispering
Your name
Between sighs,
Yet still inside
There's nowhere
To hide.
J Valle Jun 2015
This pride tastes sour,
and the dignity bittersweet,
and all I can taste
is your lips touching mine.

All I can feel is
our skin so tight together and,
your voice saying
our hands fitted perfectly.

Where are they now?
I can't even recognize
myself without you
or trust the decisions I made
when I was high
with your smell.

It is like a facade that
has fallen  and,
I'm staring at the
same black wall, I
thought had left, but
in fact it never left.

It wasn't real
and yet
this broken heart, is
killing me
though.
J Valle Sep 2016
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.
J Valle Mar 2016
Take me to the edge
Make me feel the light
You'll see I can pass the test
To keep you close and tight

Your words fuel me up
Like burning gasoline
I'll come clean
From all the things I've done

I'll show you a star
For you to compare with
Your smile
So you can see it
Even from afar
J Valle Feb 2016
I don't see the point of your glare
Staring, and calling me unfair
There is no need to feed
My overflowing despair.

You say my eyes seem empty
And lack of emotion,
Well, it was no lie
When they said  eyes
Reflect what's inside.

I am not heartless
On the contrary,
I got so much of it
That I can't stand it
Feelling everything
I wish I was hearless.

But what did you expected
I was promised the sky
And got thrown to the ground.
J Valle Sep 2017
I'm stumbling like a toddler in a room.
My hands are on my sides plane-like in the air
trying to give me some balance, to keep me from falling.
My feet hurt and are clumsy, they're not used to this.
I'm using my father's shoes.

I'm wearing them to feel like an adult,
like one of those old humans who go and live an adult life,
but my father's shoes are too big for my baby feet,
no matter how hard I try, they just don't fit.

But I keep doing it.
I'm not alone in this room,
There's no way I would be doing this just for myself,
maybe at the beginning, when it was fun.
My family is staring at me.

They are all expectators.
Of this crazy show I'm directing,
Half thinking I'm cute for pretending to be one of them.
The other half's just waiting for the moment I trip and start crying.

My father's shoes are too big for me,
This adult mockery is not for me,
Just as I realize about this.

I trip.
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.
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.
J Valle Jun 2017
Like a lost arrow
You struck my mind
A gentle breeze, a certain smell
Lead me back to your memories
But you are out of my life
I doubt you will ever come back
So everyday it's new
I'm learning to be myself again
A new beginning
A new life
A new future
I'm stumbling around
In a crowded room
With my eyes folded
I don't know where to go,
What to say,
Which dreams should I follow,
All I know is that I find it
Quite difficult to beging again,
It's a tedious and
Uncertain life
Without you.

Gin
She's looking in the mirror,
Getting ready to hit the club,
Smokey eyes on point,
She's just trying to let go
Of what she keeps inside.

Prettier than her surroundings,
But still lists her flaws upon her soul,
If only she knew,
That the sun battles the moon,
To see her first.

So bright, so great,
Her smile lights up the sky.

Everyday her spirit fights,
A battle she knows well,
Fearing to grasp,
The reaching hand.

A soul so pure,
You can see it clear,
While she's looking in the mirror.
J Valle Apr 2015
The air has changed since you left.
It's thicker now.
Hard to swallow
Impossible to let go.
Just like 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.

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.
J Valle Nov 2015
I love you
But you are his now
He can feel your lips
Whenever he wants
And all I have is memories.

I want you
But you are his now
Your smiles are dedicated to him
And not a single thought
Is spared towards me.

I love you
But you are his now
He can hear you laugh
And I must let you go
But it is so hard if you keep coming back
J Valle Feb 2016
There was no love
I loved you
But you did not loved me
How am I supposed to
Let go?

They say
You gotta let go
If someone is not for you

You did not loved me
You where never mine
How can I let go
If you never belonged
To me?

His body emerged
From the deep blue ocean
Heart barely beating and
Eyes almost closed

They left him for dead.

The sun's light burned him
And its heat suffocated him
But he kept wondering
How would it feel
To touch the sun.

Once again,
Icarus rose
Towards the sun

Believing this time
Things would be different
But as long as the sun
Remains the sun
And Icarus
A blind believer
Fate won't change its course

So, once again,
Icarus fell.
And found himself
More broken
Than before.
J Valle Apr 2016
I've loved.
I've loved a dead man,
I've loved a warrior,
I've fallen for a doctor,
I've loved a musician.
But it is clear as glass,
That sorrow has
Been my true lover
All along.

So forgive me if I leave,
Close my eyes
And go to bed with
My other half.
And never wake up again.
J Valle Jun 2015
Lines up and down
side to side
I'm imprisoned
by what I write

A blank paper
screaming to be

A written paper
filled with
screaming words

Waiting to be freed.

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.

You know that itch you get.
When a bug bits you?
And suddenly there's a rash,
Not just in the place you were bitten,
But you can actually feel it all over you?

They say we shouldn't scratch them
or it could leave a scar.

So we try to control the itch.
And we focus to not focus in it.
In fact, it's almost impossible.

But then there's you.
You are not a bug.
And you sure did not bite me.
Worst
You kissed me.

And left something worst
than just an itch
or even a rash.

For the thing is.
a bug may leave a weal
somewhere in my skin
and that would be it.

But you are worst
than the most savage itch
and the poisonous bite.

You are in my skin.
inside my flesh,
deep in my bones,
locked in my heart,
haunting my mind.

I could take any kind of itch now
any kind but you.

And the truth is,
I've scratched too much.
and all that is left of you
is nothing but an infamous
itch.
