take me to the shore
where seagulls cry among rocks
taste the salty air
Jack Jenkins Feb 2017
There's a lot left to say;
Not a lot of time to say.
I'll be dead before I'm 30,
And I wish I could stay.

I have given you all of my heart,
For I have loved you from the start.
Your eyes look through my soul,
You see your name on my heart.

I don't know when, where, or why.
I know one day we'll be together.
I don't know how long, but I'm sorry
That you'll have to live with losing me.
Written in one of the few times I have clarity. All the noises of life became still, and I just wanted you to know that I still believe in us. I'm a tormented soul because there's bigger things going on then I ever tell you. But one day I'll show you everything about me, and I'll trust you like I once did. For now, we'll bear our scars and carry our crosses until you finally decide to take a chance and I finally decide to be faithful to only one.

I love you.
-Jack

I don't want you to know that I'm going down/
All the words getting stuck in the back of my throat/
My blood turning still and lifeless within my veins/
I chased you without knowing the price to pay/
Oh baby I'm a tormented soul in this world/
It's so hard for me to let go of the stars/
Oh I'm going down in flames today/
Someone give me a reason to stay/

Raindrops on the window
A sigh from my faulty lungs
What a day this is
When you wake up feeling blue and grey
Jack Jenkins Feb 2017
I know that I can't be what you want;
  because my heart is absolutely true
  and know I will not give up on you.
  That's why you can't ever love me.

He holds you the same as I would,
  plays and messes with your hair
  just like I would if you were mine.
  Every soft kiss on his lips kills me.

You sit up late and talk with him on the phone;
  just like we used to stay up late and talk
  like that time we spent 24 hours of a weekend
  being in each other's company... just talking...

But you never fell for me the way you fell for him
  or the way you fell for your last boyfriend
  or the one before him, or the one before him.
  Five years. Five boyfriends. None me.

                                                        None love you like me.
    *And that is why you can't ever love me.
                                                 Because you know that I'll stick around
                                      When everything falls apart
                         And try and be your everything
                                                    Be­cause I truly love you
                                             And you fear that love
One of my most personal writes ever. Only cried through all of it.

There was never a Valentine's Day
I have hated more than this one.
Because I think of you, my friend
You're not here to share with me.

I had dreams of us riding into the sunset,
Until you disappeared, went dark on me...
Every Valentine's Day I'm totally alone... yay!
