Maybe I'm just broken
Or perhaps I am so blind
But how can I describe this pain
I know it's not benign.
Jessica Lynne Feb 2017
I dated The Devil once
He is so full of charm
Maybe it lasted for months
There were no signs of harm

Every night I called his name
To no reply
All I felt was shame
His love I couldn't deny

I wouldn't even know
what to do with my life
When it was over where did I go
I wanted to be his wife

The Devil is full of decept
His heart wasn't mine to keep
Now that I retreat
My broken heart has no leap

How was she so empty
Oh how she was so numb
Unsure if pain could be felt
Or if she was finally done

She played her arm like a violin
She had to check and see
Was there any music left inside her
Any passion any glee

No pain was felt
But how she dealt
She saw the music
All red it slowly melt

Few do understand
What boiled under her skin
What she was scratching to dig out
Wasn't a simple sin

She had to find the music
She had to know the truth
Underneath the tears
She still had some of those roots
Though the tears are shed and the memory is simply pink, the pain still comes back and the itch is hard to reach.

Waking up changes nothing
Nothing.

Life is not waiting whilst you close your eyes
Nothing.

Time is a continuous force; unstoppable
Nothing.

Tomorrow is not a new day
Nothing.

Don't dilute into nothing from a false continuum.

It's nothing

Friday night lights, again
Tonight the darkness calls me in
Is it time to go
First haiku attempt
Jessica Lynne Apr 2016
Oh if only you could see
These friends were meant to be
They take their time
Sealed with a stamp
Off to a new country
Seas and time means no thing
Pranav

We have a fire
so bright and so fierce
Light in the darkness
the power to pierce

We made fire
a spark at the start
Pulling at that wire
the strings of our heart

We are burning and burning
Without end with our might
If only we could see
What it's doing to us, such a fright

The thing about flame
is it's directly to blame
for all the misfortune
by the end of the night

Up in a blaze
The flames and the haze
The heat dust and smoke
But now we are broke

If I could change the time
I wouldn't do so
If I could press rewind
I shouldn't do so

Yet left in pieces
I can surely say
I wouldn't take it
Any other way

Even though the fire
might be turned to ash
I would still have desire
creping in through the trash

I have you now
but I'll never know
When now turns to never
Never again and never more

What I have is what is now
holds me close to never let go
To your love I will bow
Even if I'm hurt to the point of a scowl

Forever I'll think
I'll hope and believe
You were the one
The one meant for me

So here I am praying
to the universe and God
don't you leave me straining
I need him my God.
Love burning out seems like it is the only option. That we are destined for pain and boiling down to less than our hearts desire. I don't want it, and I beg for this to be right.

She tries and she tries
But she knew
Even if she tries and tries
More
He will be him
Which is no different
The man she loves solely
Will not change
Not for her
Not for the moon and the sun
Not for the rain
Not for her pain
But if
What if
He loved her as she
Not for who she's trying for either of them to be

I woke up at 6:30 next to a working man
with no desire of wine
By 6:45 the silk blanket for coating my pain
had became an inquired taste.
A desired taste
Still, no.
Not yet

I sat up with a heavy heart at 10
Why does he do this to me?
His curls and scars became
an aquired taste
Tasting him is of what love tastes
But no
Not yet

I sat there at 10
I sat there at 10 with a pain
Should I dare touch the cork?
I had the pallet for the silk
I had the time for the smooth
Still, no

I sat there at 10:30
It was blunt
It wasn't beautiful
It was an empty question
A double dagger to my body

Which is the addiction
Which is the murderer
Which holds my conviction

He is home at 4
It's 5 o'clock somewhere

Now
I can touch
I can taste

A trembling had reaches for love
But did the glass touch finger tips
Before he would

Both are such a riddle
It's twisted with disease
One moment my heart is infatuated
The next my broken body bleeds

It's about to be 6:30
Jessica Lynne Mar 2016
Go ahead, fall asleep
Bodies pressed together
Against the sheets

This time I just don't mind
Go ahead and gently unwind.

Take your time
Take your time

Your heart is yours,
But your heart is mine.

Just be here
Take a breath
My ear up against your chest

Just be here
Just be mine
Forevers love is in this timeline
I'm sleepy rants
Jessica Lynne Apr 2016
Even when I tried
No one really knew
Who I was inside
What I knew was true

Everything's not funny
Everything's not true
All the lies I live
Building up in you

The pain I feel inside
It reminisce on the outside
Who you really see
Isn't really me

I am not all that funny
Nor do I try
I am truly oh so shy
Don't just pass me by.
I am sick. But that isn't me. My symptoms aren't me either.

If I die tonight
Tell my Mother I love her
For I'll forever rest
In her loves gentle caress

I had taken her for granted
A touch a word
But now I know in deaths grasp
Everything I should've heard

If I die tonight
Tell my Mother I love her
My last words I scream to the world
She was the final cure
Jessica Lynne Feb 2016
We were sitting silently
Holding hands
We were sitting but unaware
That maybe together
We held pieces of the world
Together
Jessica Lynne Mar 2016
Go ahead, girl
Go on home
Let down the curl
No time to roam

The dress hits the floor
You may be alone
Dance and sing some more
The sound of a trombone

Here lies your cat
There lies your phone
Swallow the wine in the glass
Have fun even when alone
Don't be afraid to celebrate, don't be afraid to be alone
Jessica Lynne Mar 2016
The music was loud
And so was she
Even though no words
Could be spoken

He saw her dancing
From across the room
However her body
Hadn't made a move

They knew it there
Through all in the air
This was all
This was real

Together they stayed
Forever in that moment
Forever they were
Forever in love

She saw her reflection in the knife
A tingle of a sensation
The echo of gentle drops
Jessica Lynne Mar 2016
Your glass is half empty so that mine is half full.
Jessica Lynne Apr 2016
Every inch of vivid skin
Each folicle, each hair
Could this be my destination
Tucked in under your arm
It's such a beautiful sin
Hanging on to your last breath
All the worlds tranquillity
My life hangs on to it
Jessica Lynne Mar 2016
He had two years stains
Two stains upon his work shirt
No matter how I try
I just can't take them out

Holding him in the night
He ever could feel quite right
Oh how I love him so
The man still let them go

Even with the pain
Oh those **** tear stains
I love him so
And never choose to let him go
I know it's hard for some men to cry. He tried not to. But those two **** spots.

Words like knives pressed to my throat
Jessica Lynne Feb 2016
After you, alcohol cannot intoxicate me.
A six word epic
Jessica Lynne May 2016
Get drunk and call me darling
Jessica Lynne Apr 2016
I'm a roamer
All I know is how to run away
There is no place I feel safe to stay
The need to be one move ahead

Maybe it hurts more
I am learning how to hide
No desire to reveal myself
Maybe I'm more empty

I find home in love
The delusion that it will be my all and final
A destination in which I can unpack Then I break again

— The End —
