Eyes in the garden
JAW Jun 2020
Do you stare at me
When the wind forces me to sway
Do you wish that I would notice
The movements of you
As you pass
Slow Footsteps and doubts
If I were blue would you be to?
Or was red perfect
What if you were on the ground?
Grass all around
With miles of beauty imitating you
Look up then down
Don’t forget me
Once you’ve seen yourself

Is your phone more entertaining
Does it keep you warmer than I ever have
Some days I’m not even here but I also am crazy
For you
For love
I should just stop
Turn it off

Have Your Fun
JAW Nov 2019
Go to a party with you friends
I’ll stay in and write poetry
Come home and tell me stories
I’ll have more to write about in the morning.
New love

My favorite place
JAW Oct 2019
Our bodies have decided their favorite place
(discovered under cold bed sheets)
Intertwined feeling closer than anyone
(Hands wondering the maps of your skin)
Hold me tighter
(Socks lost in the depths of what was kept under your bed)
Tell me stories about your friends
(Place your heart in my damaged head)
I will listen to it all
While I let myself fall

Meeting You
JAW Oct 2019
Evening attire
This need of mine seems prettier dire
To love you
Countless smiles
laughing till you cry
Everything in between

Blue Striped Shirt pt.2
JAW Oct 2019
Thoughts of it never happening filled my head
Doubting every word I said
But you loved it all
Who would’ve known
That the girl in the blue striped shirt noticed me too

New to me
JAW Sep 2019
This is new to me
Smiling like this
Leaning into kiss
Everything I don’t know
But I feel the significance
I feel love it’s so intense

Knowing
JAW Sep 2019
Knowing not what to know, but how to be
Knowing not what to do, but when to leave
Blindness in you
Blindness in me
What a world to live in
What a world to see
World

First Sight
JAW Sep 2019
I don’t know you’re name
But I’ve written you poems
Not really for you
But definitely about you

Blue striped Shirt
JAW Sep 2019
You caught me staring
Smiles exchanged
to nervous to ever look back
But I do
Continuously admiring you

Phones
JAW Sep 2019
A distraction for me and one for you
A distraction for everybody in this room
Only a screen nothing to trust
We act like it is worth way too much

Crush
JAW Sep 2019
Pencils on paper
People talk about the parties later
but you’re wearing a blue stripped shirt today
And I can’t help but notice

Wait
JAW Aug 2019
Dreaming of you I never want to wake up
Your touch feels real
Tricking me into thinking you’re there
Playing my mind into missing you once again
I’ve been doing fine
Now I can feel your kiss
The same one you gave me 3 years ago
How can I still feel it?
I’m still waiting
Like every other day
I’ll write for you
As I’m waiting on the moon
Lauren I love you

Listen Up
JAW Jul 2019
I want to write a book
So many things to say
Arguments to have
No one speaks
A lot of love to share
The audience is now listening
But the silence has never been this quiet
SO I WILL TALK LOUD FOR THEM TO HEAR
And I will not write in all caps, but my words will shout their meaning.
Stay there read as I type
Wait till I go to bed and turn off the light
I want to write a book

My heart
JAW Jul 2019
I love you.
That was the beginning.
Now it is the end.
I love you.
The end
Till next time my love. You know who you are you’re the only one who has actually ever been.

Untitled
JAW Jun 2019
A pen is so much easier to pick up when I am writing about her
The ink is more dominant as I write her name
For everything I write is her
The wind was even blown away
But she will be mine one day
We can dance up hills and roll back down
Sail around the world
not fear the night get out of this town

Let me go on
JAW Jun 2019
Will you please let me go on
I have no clue where we went wrong
I could’ve sworn you were the one
You still are
That’s why I’m not worried
I have my whole life to love you
It’s hard though being unwanted by such an undefined greatness
I came 863 miles for nothing
You start denying my calls and reading my texts but not feeling the need to reply
You don’t want to see me
The next person in line to give you attention has been tapping there shoes but I’ve been in line for years stomping the floor waiting for you
Every person on these streets getting scanned by my eyes desprately waiting to see your face.
No one is you though
Please let me go
I was in a beautiful city waiting for someone who I thought I knew

A ghost
JAW Jun 2019
A flight is missed
While someone is kissed
Everything is constantly changing
As did you
To someone I have never met
Someone completely new
Too bad I still can’t leave you alone
It’s like a ghost walking around in my home
Not really there
You don’t really care
Walked away from me with not one bit of hesitation to turn around.
Well I never ******* moved.
My eyes stayed steady on your horizon not understanding at all what I feel
This is for someone who is a ghost, but they aren’t dead.

Proving it
JAW Apr 2019
The trees move quietly but the wind tells them to yell
Your embrace feels like heaven but my mind sent me to hell
Inspiration drips from your eyes and i caught every one
The calls became longer and i grew stronger
Even the disaster of our very first kiss
Innocence was the taste of your lips
For you

— The End —
