One word
One nasty word
Is all it takes
For my world to come
Crashing down
One word from you
Is a thousand words of others
One word from you
Breaks me
Or makes me

I am not stupid
I know your game
Hurt me so you can protect me
From yourself
No matter what my opinion will
Never change and I will always
Love you just the same
Endlessly
Jess Mar 2015
Things that meant the world to me
Never meant a single thing to you
Wasted three years
Now I'll be wasted come 3 'o clock
Climbed over mountains
Trekked through the bitter coldness
Of a soul that was insane
All for you
And my misplaced love
That never was
Only a figment of my imagination
Jess Oct 2014
My heart is breaking
Piece by piece
It's not just a metaphore
Not anymore

I feel it in my chest
Right in my heart
These pangs of pain
You said it's for the best

But how can you decide
What's right for me

I can't let you be

But I'll give you that space
If you could just look at my face

I'm sorry I tried to understand
I went too far
Into those walls built from scars

The tears run down my face
There is no light in this place
You are the sun
But you always run

I'll let it go
If I could just have
Things as they were

Not a fabricated distance
That is only another wall

Please look at me
The way you used to
I miss seeing your face

Your sincere smile
I cannot erase
But I fear
I made it disappear

There's gotta be a way out
From these chains holding me

My heart is breaking apart
Spinning around in this illusion

Or am I disillusioned

My mind is breaking down further

I walk through these shards of glass
Just to be with you

Desperate for some kind of revelation
Holding on to desire

You are the only hope I can see
Dying to believe

It's part of me
You are the light to me
Faith in the one you love, no matter how crazy you sound.
Jess Sep 2014
You lack emotion in your eyes
I can see all the fears you face
All the tears you've cried
I see it in your eyes
You hide the pain
I'll never let you deal with it alone
I'll be right here
If you'll let me
I'll sit outside the door when you cannot bare to talk
I'll be right here
Picking up the broken pieces
No matter how many times it takes
I'll fix you
I'll love you
If you let me
And even then I will still try
I'll be right here
To show you the love you lost
When everything seems to fall away
And hope begins to fray
Don't believe all the lies
Meant to bring you down
I will always be right here
I'll show you the way out
When the way seems so far
Let me love you when you break
Just take my hand
Jess Sep 2014
There is something deep inside
Burning like flames within

Witness to all the suffering
This world is an empty promise

Build me up
Watch me crumble

Keeping this saint-like mind
Is hard when I know
I'm dying inside

Suffering for myself
And for others
I find myself lost
Wanting to shoulder all the pain

Do I give in
Or keep on going

You say I'm too good for the world
But baby, I say I'm stripped away
Everything has been betrayed

This will be the end of me

I'm far too young to fade

I want to give in
To the pain
The rage

Everything is black and white
Stripped away of the grey

Breaking apart
This will be the end of me
Jess May 2014
Swaying atop an unstable cliff
Unsure yet still standing strong
You saved me once again
As always
You save me
But it is also you
Who pushes me off
The treacherous cliff
Falling
Falling hard
Into the chasm
Almost reaching
The unforgiving frigid water
And then
I am once again
Saved
By you
Reaching your hand out
Comforting and rewarding
But only to repeat
This seemingly endless cycle
Shortly after
Over and over
Somehow
I am willing
To endure this pain
And heartache
For those little moments
And I will wait
To the end of the world
And beyond
Just for another one
I am willing to suffer
Even if it is hopeless
