Angels
Jude Quinn May 2020
Don't cry
We are angels waiting to fly.
Our wings will grow one day.

Memories
Jude Quinn Mar 2019
The passage of time
makes the picture of the heart clearer.
Whatever was thought as important
becomes but a blur in the background
while half-forgotten things come to the front.

A cigarette shared in the dark,
the curvature of a smile,
the perfume filling the air,
the delicate way in which eyes first crossed sights;
all seemed such random occurrences,
so lacking in memorability,
all seemed like they were gone for good.

But the more time comes between
the many faces of us,
the more those kinds of memories are brought back to mind,
connecting us to who we were.

We keep losing our shadow
and it keeps appearing in the most peculiar places.

I can't help but wonder
where will it appear next?
What will be loved tomorrow
that has been forgotten today?

My Better Heart
Jude Quinn Aug 2019
I want my heart broken into a mllion pieces.
A whole heart is good for health, but bad for life.

I want it broken to build it again,
to find out how it works.
I have sat under too many cherry trees,
waiting for blossoms to fall on me;
I've had enough of yearnings.

It's a little bit funny to want something like this,
I know,
but what can I do?

I've just met you
and I want to give you my better heart,
cause you've already made me
a better man.

It's okay
Jude Quinn Jul 2020
Sometimes, I'm just tired.
It's not very much fun, but I do.
Sometimes I'm just sad.
It's not very much fun, but I do.
Sometimes I'm angry and hurt.
It is what it is.

Once or twice I thought about the end.
The moment when all troubles go away.
It's a scary thought to have
when you are all by yourself.

What do you do
when you feel you can't move?

It can be so heartbreaking to feel you've given your all,
yet your all is not enough.

But I am still here;
though sometimes I cry,
I think there's nothing more wonderful than life.

Cause you are here,
you, in your perfect way,
you, who have cried as much as me
yet smile the same wether there's sun or there's rain.

You give me hope,
that peace of mind
is a thought away.
Haven't been around here in a while. I hope all of you are alright <3
