The night moves slowly,
Sensual touches every second,
My breath catches; this is unholy,
And my mind starts racing.

Racing back to when he touched me in the garage,
But his touch leaves a new burn.

I was in bed with my sweet man,
While he traced small circles in my skin,
Thats when the memories began,
And I was in the garage.

The garage where my life,
Took the worst turn.

When his hands left scars up my thighs,
And bruises on my ribs,
Makeup was my best disguise,
And no one knew.

Knew about the garage,
Where my soul wasnt a concern.

How do i get back to my sweet man,
Instead of this ******* who lives in my head,
I need to come up with a plan,
Where i get out alive.

Alive and free,
No longer in the garage i return.

I will not return whole,
I am battered and broke,
Be patient with my soul,
Thats all i ask.

Tell me im not in the garage,
And hold me til yearn.

Yearn not for the pain,
But for the green flowers on my counter,
For how i feel sane,
And heard.

I was not heard in the garage.
But i am now.
hes patient w me and thats all i could ever ask for
(ignore when i take it down in 2mo *****)

Sweet Silver Kiss
jj Sep 5
tingles start from the back of my head,
when i think about her sweet kiss,
all is good when i see red,
now im flying in pure bliss.
she lifts my feet off the ground,
and fills me with paradise,
its just me and her around,
shes my guiltiest sacrifice.
soon i feel like i will drown,
and my body is fatigued,
i can feel im about to come down,
her soft touch has me so intrigued.
she ****** my arm once again,
im begging for her love,
waits to know she hit a vein,
so i can fly above.
but now im up too high,
my chests about to burst,
please lord hear my cry,
ive finally done my worst.
ive been long forgotten,
not a memory of me in sight,
my body lays rotten,
i didnt even put up a fight.
that needle had me enslaved,
nothing else ever mattered,
she was all i craved,
but she left me feeling shattered.
been clean since 4/19/2022 needles were a main struggle

engaged
jj Mar 2019
Never been better
Than the day i asked you
Not in person or in a letter
But with my special voodoo

You said yes
With love in your eyes
My heart exploded in a mess
I still remember that days sunrise

Awaiting the day
To see you walk the aisle
You said you'd wait for my birthday
I still have the biggest smile

No question in my mind
This is what fate wanted
Our hands intertwined
Never a day feeling daunted
im officially engaged

stay alive
jj Mar 2019
Begging, pleading, wishing to see another day,
Harder and harder as i start to sway,
Blood rushing to my head,
The demon inside me craves to be fed.

But i won't let it win,
Head up shoulder back key to beating this sin,
I'll battle until my final night,
Because this is my dying fight.

Everyday is something new,
I feel stuck as if in queue,
Tired of the same routine,
Waiting for the day i'm eighteen.

To be free.
To be alive.
To be me.
Stay alive.
fight against yourself all you have to stay alive my friends someone is watching over you.

im clean, are you?
jj Mar 2019
I'm done living like this,
Depending on substances,
My last sweet bottle kiss,
Not everyone gets second chances.

Tired of disappointing my dad,
Wasting paycheck after paycheck,
Just to feeling anything but bad,
Finally turning around this shipwreck.

Only 8 days sober from alcohol,
74 days clean from harder drugs,
Sometimes it feels like i hit a wall,
But i'm reminded by those hugs.

Reminded why i stopped,
Why i don't need these anymore,
Life's like cherries topped,
I'm not your little *****.

The air smells cleaner,
The clouds aren’t as grey,
I used to be so much meaner,
Glad to be here another day.
i had a really big drug problem and sometimes i crave it but im stronger than this stronger than i know

i did lines
not just of poetry
it’s the thing that binds
me to myself
i've had a few things hidden up my sleeve.

"recovery"
jj Jan 2019
“recovery”
is too romanticized,
it’s not taking a bite,
or skipping a smoke,
it’s relapse and tears,
runs for weeks or running for weeks,
thoughts constantly stirring,
never fully recovered,
never really alone,

i'm good on my own.
jj Jan 2019
I don't keep doing this in hopes i die,
I'm just trying to find a way to survive,
I like the partying and the drugs,
But with you around i might just wear earplugs.
I'm killing my body is what you keep saying,
You say that like i'm just playing,
Everyone knows i'm not living long,
We’ve known i'm not that strong.
So let me do my thing,
Its not like i' m looking for a ring,
I don't need you,
So throw away your tissue.

either way addicted
jj Oct 2018
Everyday seeing you,
Making a dream come true,
I could never get enough,
You acting oh so tough.

Aching to hear your voice,
Awaiting your every choice,
Needing to be near your heart,
You are tearing me apart.

You went from being my drug,
To the reason i chug,
Replacing you with xanny,
Digging you out of every cranny.

With you i was always on a high,
That ended with each goodbye,
Now you’re gone for good,
Just like i knew you would.

Searching for anything to feel,
Having no way to heal,
Going back to the crystal,
Maybe i should just load the pistol.
dont fall in love with a ******----soon youll be one too.

idiot in love
jj Oct 2018
An idiot is harmless,
Until that idiot falls in love,
Then they’re willing to do anything,
For the person they’re in awe of.

Whether its building a new world,
Or burning the old one down,
They’ll stop at nothing,
To give their love a crown.

Now if that love fades,
And they are left weeping,
They could take one of two paths,
Both will leave an empty heart unsleeping.

Path one is war and rampage,
Destroy everything in their way,
Path two is depression and tears,
They may cause their own doomsday.

Either way an idiot is harmless,
Until that idiot falls in love,
And if you happen to cross that idiot,
Beware for they do not care, they are deprived of---------
i might be an idiot in love.

Time Bomb
jj Aug 2018
Months after months calling your name,
I got no reply I'm stuck in the rain,
You're moving on growing in fame,
I don't know how much longer I can keep sane.

I'm climbing this hill getting over you,
Meeting new people seeing new things,
Footsteps rushing behind someone's breaking through,
Not looking back taking down my kings.

Crawling back I hear you yelling,
I've been through this too many times,
I have stopped dwelling,
I'm done with all your crimes.

I've met someone new,
My hand in hers and everything is calm,
Even though I still have your tattoo,
I'm no longer a ticking time bomb.
i can say im fully over him now things are so much better im so much better i got a girlfriend who genuinely cares about my well being and who loves me so im well.

whats home
jj Apr 2018
Someone asked me to describe home,
And i let my thoughts roam,
It had a really nice view,
because i was describing you.

They must’ve expected wallpaper and a violin,
But they got freckles and tanned skin,
They said no what about the light,
I said its more about the sight.

I won’t stop talking about your new perfume,
I get stopped and asked about my room,
I realized they wanted me to describe a window frame,
But the first thing on my tongue was your name.

heartless
jj Feb 2018
As a little kid i looked upon broken teens,
Wishing never to become like them,
And it was true i was never like those teens,
Until i met you.

The start was fast like crashing waves,
We did not look as we laughed with joy,
But after time those waves turned to floods,
And you left me behind instead of enduring.

I tried everything to find you,
The real, old you that once loved me,
It seems as if you disappeared,
And i wish my feelings disappeared with you.

Soon they did and everyone backed off,
You’ve grown cold, you’ve grown heartless,
That’s what i’ve been told by you and others,
But if you’re the one who turned me cold,

Wouldn't you be the heartless one?
why am i so heartbroken over you? its like you were my true love but i wasnt yours.

Death Comes in Waves
jj Feb 2018
The moonlight shines on her hair,
The stars missing from her eyes,
Hand slipping through mine,
Saying her final goodbyes.  

Sending my son off to war,
Tears falling from both,
But he's not coming home,
So tears only from one.
Thanking the soldiers,
Proud to be his mother,
Hand over heart,
Smiling through tears.

Slow breathes,
In and out,
Supporting the patient,
But they won't live.
Heart failing,
Life draining,
Nurses rushing,
Silent shushing.
They're gone,
Call it.
told to write three different poems about the same thing. i chose death

Plot Twist
jj Feb 2018
Plant after plant have all withered
And my gardens decayed,
But you walked by with a watering can
and set my heart ablaze

The things you’ve said in public were nothing but sweet,
This makes me glad we got to meet.

No words come to mind
when staring at your face,
After all a picture paints a
thousand words that cannot erase

Tables have been turned,
And i’m left feeling burned.

The way you said my name
sent shivers down my spine,
You could be anything and
yet you wouldn't be mine.

I wish to say that I haven’t missed you,
But it’d be a terrible crime to lie too.

When it comes to you
all ideas are dangerous,
And the two of us together,
Was nothing but disastrous.

From the moment we started,
I knew you were going to be cold hearted.

While your smile shines as bright as the sun
Not everyone wants to be blind,
This was a contract
That neither one of us wanted signed.

The things you’ve said in private were nothing sweet,
This makes me glad we never truly got to meet.
Had an assignment to write a genuine love poem but I guess not all love is happy?

some kinda poem
jj Dec 2017
School *****,
Most everyone agrees,
It’s not a game of luck,
You can’t just be “the bee’s knees.”

School is a battlefield,
Fight to the top of the chain,
No one’s healed,
I personally would rather face acid rain.

Money, Fame, Worth,
Why is this the description of students,
School is a hell on Earth,
This is just a big nuisance.

School is filled with panic attacks,
And stress fueled tests,
We’re all waiting for the big ******,
But no one’s listening to our protests.

Stop with the essays and weekly quizzes,
I haven’t gotten proper sleep since sixth grade,
You may think it’s just a drizzle,
But it’s all a charade.
for my english finals we had a free write essay (poems included) so i wrote this and my teacher thought it was pretty funny and he liked it

you
jj Dec 2017
you
I miss him,
Even though i said i wouldn’t,
This tale is pretty grimm,
And you’re listening even though i couldn’t.

Your laugh,
Used to be sweet and loving,
It’s breaking my heart in half,
I bet you think you’re pretty cunning.

Story I hate to tell,
But you love to relive,
I’m still locked in your spell,
And yet i still forgive.

Those chocolate eyes,
That caught my forest filled,
You’re like all the other guys,
And my eyes have spilled.

I miss you,
But you don’t even think of me,
Your name is a tattoo,
And i’m just debris.
this is about my ex (if you couldn't guess) i'm not over him really but idk so enjoy??

— The End —
