Until the ink dries.
That's what I say.
Maybe those thoughts
Will
Float away.
Memories that are distant
Thoughts that
Sway.
Easily broken like
Fragile, freshly blown glass.
Jessica Mar 2020
i've learned to let go
Before
i
Settle into a
Beautiful lie
i
Imagine
Holding on to see
YOU
In complex scenery
All is forgiven
And
i'll allow for you take back
Every word
Unspoken
i
am
Broken
Conversations
Wound around
Daydreams
Jessica Dec 2019
I'll tell you that I love you
I fell for you the day
You secretly watched me
As I gazed at you lovingly
Between
Your fingers
I slipped
A friend noted
That there is love there
Something substantially
Real
As real as you being taken
And I watch her take you
Further
Tell her she's broken and insecure
Run back to me
And
Reassure these feelings
Tell me that my body
Is
Just fine
You can drink away every
God awful
Memory
I'll mend your spirit with
Mine
Jessica Oct 2019
I suppose I'll find you in the darkest corners of my existence

Resisting the urge to let go
And
be needed

My happiness does not want
Your words
They will be taken unheeded

As predicted

These countless
propositions mean little
To the girl who wants
You
unafflicted
And
without scars
Jessica Sep 2019
You won't be scared to
Tell me you're not okay
You will say:
"Don't go."
As I gather my things
With every intention
To fall apart on
The ride home
My home that was shown
In the dark
and
when it was
Silent
Your violent
Rages of wavering
Sympathy
Are always with me
You thought you were
Teaching me...
I taught you
That reservation is for
The strong
It's okay to be wrong
And
You are loved
Shove
me under your
Shade and be brave
Jessica Sep 2019
After sometime
But
Right before the  
Rope is severed

You swing and falter
As the winds of your
Mistakes
Rush by

This has an end
You said you'd
wait
And I could begin
again
With my words used
As
Anchors
Jessica Aug 2019
It's cold in my room
The lack of warmth
Reminds me
Of the slowly
Escaping heat
From the baseboard
Heaters

Sweaters, and blankets
Piled on the couch

I was...
HOME
The last four walls
I ran away from

All the while

I'm still chasing
Walls that will hold
Me
