Self Esteem
Jamie Aug 2014
I have troubled thoughts
Something and somewhere
I thought I would never be
Nor consider, from what I used to be

Somewhere along the road
I got lost I have faith but I will find my way
With enough honey JD
I will be patient and wait

I will be so insanely pleased
After all this pain and loss,
My head will once again
Be held very high
Keep the faith

After Everything
Jamie Aug 2014
Why do I still find it so hard
I think I am trying but is it enough?
I am treding on egg shells
After all of us there has been

I want to be the person
Who you can run to
But I know that job isn't mine,
It wouldn't be fair if I can't run to you

I want to see you upset
Just once or twice
So I can learn how to fix it
As I always want to be by your side
She was upset today and I didn't know what to do

It's Daft
Jamie Aug 2014
I constantly lie to myself
And say I shouldn't
Think of you the way I do

And I shouldn't fall for someone
Who doesn't deserve my love.
But I always miss you the moment I leave you

I just want to fall asleep in your arms

Memories
Jamie Aug 2014
Maybe this is why I cling on
The past is what I want
Maybe I missed my chance
After fate threw up together
And I ****** it up
...
Apparently its never too late
But it feels that way
More and more everyday
Maybe with some work and luck
Fate will once again throw you my way

Switching Off
Jamie Aug 2014
If there was a way
To turn off your brain,
Just for a second
Would you take it?

Just to escape
For a little while ..
Memories build a person
The pain makes you, you

But once you enter my head
There isn't an escape
I want the old us
Not the one we have

We said we wouldn't get attached
So I let it be as much as I could
But even now when I sleep
I wish you were next to me
1am ... the lonely hour

Countdown
Jamie Aug 2014
Yesterday it took me 3 hours to calm down
It was one of our best dates
As I went to sleep and I clutched my pillow
I still felt your hand in mine

This is why I never got over you...
Yet I know I shouldn't get attached
But deep down I know I love you
And we don't have long till you go

This is why, I need to leave after you do
I can't stand living in this city
When I know I will never be happy here
Not without you by my side

Problem is we can't be right now
...
Because we would hold each other back
All your dreams and mine will have to do

I would never want to hold anyone back
From achieving their true potential
Being together would do that to you
If I love you I will let you go and not fight

Although it will **** me when we are apart
I will settle for the happiest I will ever be
For the time we have left
Yet I know it will be a beautiful goodbye

The firery walls are slowly caving in
Yet I am clinging on to every last second
In my head I am holding you and just
Slow dancing in this burning room
Settling for pure joy right now, knowing I will be beaten and very down in a few weeks time. Every second is worth it

Next Series
Jamie Aug 2014
The challenge we all have
When we take the next step
With expectation and eagerness to impress
Seems like you either settle
Become mundane and hope for the best
Or grab a some dynamite
And blow away everyone in clear sight

After Dreams
Jamie Aug 2014
It's 1am and I am thinking
What does it mean
When you actually,
Achieve your dream

I have dreams
Some of which will
Never come true but,
What happens when they do

Currently I need a change of direction
A new lease for life
As for now,
I don't feel right

If I get what I want
Will it make me happy?
For a while yes,
But will it be forever?

I hope so
Because day by day
I know,
I am losing the fight

Covered In Rain
Jamie Aug 2014
I saw you walk in
You didn't see me initially
My first thought
Straight to the bar

I didn't know what to say
I didn't know what to do
Then you saw me

That's when you ran off
Hand over your mouth
I know it was to cry

Later we gave each other a half smile
No words were needed
It was a look of
'I am OK'

Everyone I was with
Said it was time to leave
I felt I should say goodbye

As I said it
You went from being fine to not
As I said my goodbyes to others

I saw you ran passed me to go outside
We then spoke about everything
And it ended with us
Covered in rain
We spoke for 2 hours but it felt like 5 minutes

Like A Dream
Jamie Jul 2014
I recently passed that park
The one where you told me
With tears rolling down your face
'Your gonna hate me'

It never felt real
I wasn't mentally there
All I could do was sit tight
And prepare for a dark, dark night

Re-Lapse
Jamie Jul 2014
Every so often we all do
When though you try your hardest
We all sometimes fall off the path
Even when we are way out ahead
There is nothing you can do
But find yourself looking back

Habits
Jamie Jul 2014
My world revolves around Facebook
All I seem to do
Is see what other people do

People who aren't in a rut
Feeling trapped
Or alone

It seems it's taken me 9 months to learn
But now I know, question is
What the hell do I do...
Weening myself off Facebook. Actually feels like rehab but I am feeling better day by day

Writing
Jamie Jul 2014
A part of me feels
I only write when I feel

When I have nothing
I am empty but seemingly content

As I write in this moment
I have no emotion for once

Perhaps I know
Something on the horizon is coming

Maybe I should take some time
To not force anymore but take it as it comes
Looking up for the first time in months

Focus
Jamie Jul 2014
I know I push myself too much on you
Secretly I think you will help fix me
But it seems all my dreams
Are just an escape from this place

My focus and drive are now
On something new
One day I will look back
And forget about all this blue

The Speech
Jamie Jul 2014
If I tried harder back then
We wouldn't be here
I would be in love
And so would you
The words I wish you knew

So much time has passed
And all I have is regret
We don't have long till you leave
And this is what I long for

Me and you to burn
Brighter than the sun
With what time
We have left
Right now

When you leave so will I
Our sun will emplode
And it will swallow itself up
Slowly losing all its shine

And if will meet in a few years
The sun we left to die will explode
Amungst the night sky
And the remainder of the supernova lights
We shall share till we die
I want to fall hopelessly in love with you. Die when you leave hoping one day we can be together as right now we can't be

Worst Bit
Jamie Jul 2014

Dropping everything
When you come to me
I swallow my pride
Wishing you to be by my side

It's Time
Jamie Jul 2014
We have been here before
Standing on the edge of a cliff
Knowing if we both jumped
We would pull through together
We wouldn't fall, we would fly

I should have jumped back then
I was ready, it was time
Praying
As I took the leap
Would your hand would reach mine?

This time, the cliff is not as steep
As I steady myself
Less sure now, as I was back then
Praying your hand will grasp for mine
It all feels rushed, time is on my mind
6 weeks left
Jul 2014 · 456
Over and over
Jamie Jul 2014
When you left
I died a hundred times
Hell was a place
That was too familiar for one

Knowing you would return
Never sure if it would be
As it was
After the hurt

Well ... guess who wants you again
All that hell I went through
I hate how I fall for you
Over and over

Alone
Jamie Jul 2014
Yet another sleepless night
Everything going through my mind
I am slowly losing it
A matter of time before I snap

Nothing is right
Sleep,
Work,
Life.

Changed
Jamie Jun 2014
Currently I am drowning
I jumped in when I can't swim
I dug myself this hole
Life will be worse without you

Through lack of thought
Not being the person I was
When I met you
I have hurt you

I have become the person
I said I would never be
Sorry for all I have done
You really did, mean a lot to me
I don't love you and I didn't mean to lead you on.

A Thousand Times
Jamie Jun 2014
I think let you go
Over and over again
I occupy myself
With anything and everything
Then, the world is fine
I think of you

Time and time again
When I find other people
My favourite parts of them
Are the ones that remind me of you
Then, when I am alone
I think of you
I wish I could let go

3.30am
Jamie May 2014
I can't remember the last time
I could sleep
Without the need to drink
To pass out
Without any thoughts
In my mind

Do I need an escape from reality
A new city?
Or a hobby? Or to get lost
In someone's eyes?
Life seems pretty bleak
Or maybe I just need sleep

Endless Hours
Jamie May 2014
This mood is tedious
Waiting patiently
For nothing in particular

All the smiles never last
Always returning to
My lonely hour

Alone Again
Jamie May 2014
Recently I have been alone
This time
I feel it
I hate it

I was lonely before
But comfortable, content
What is different
I have lost feelings or gained?

During the lonely hours
Do I miss you
Or the idea of you
I don't really want to know
I need to be comfortable with being alone again.

All I want to do
If I can't have you,
Is run as far away
As I can,
Across the sea

I can't cope
When my heart stops
At the thought of you,
Even worse when someone
Who looks like you

Honeymoon

Everything I felt
I wrote down on this page
It crashed but it's everything

Everything I felt and thought
Along with that poem are gone
Just like the chance I had
With you
The page actually crashed and my poem has gone. One hour I spent but it's almost better that it's gone...

Need Someone

Finally I am ready for the next
Too long it has taken
Yet I would settle
Is that loneliness or is it love?

Within a heartbeat I would return
Am I afraid of more pain
Or is it more?
Something we will never know

One Year Later
Jamie Jan 2014
I am not the same
I was happy, alone but content
Waiting for something special
Then from no where
I found you and your little smile
Waiting for me to write

The fastest 3 months
I have been through
Was with you, in all my life
During that time I waited,
I found 'Someone Else'
Similar, yet better in hindsight

Still ... 3 more months I had to wait
6 months in total just to see her smile
And eventually we met
Something was right
Too much expectation
Not enough fight

This door closed abruptly
All of a sudden
My cousin was right
With this slamming door
To my damaged heart
A window opened

That 'Someone Else'
Reappeared
And showed me
What was right,
How to hold her hand
How to make it feel right

You then left me
Not your fault or mine
I missed you
The second your hand left mine
Sleep was hopeless
It couldn't escape my mind

3 months later
Which is this point in time
What a year it has been
A hurtful one which
Made me wait for 2 people
Who were never mine
What is this year going to throw at me ...

No Words

A walker without boots
And a car without wheels

The image of you within my head
One I have drawn ...

Is there a future
For me and you
We have our plans
But I know me and you

We won't settle
Till the time is due
I want the moon
You want the stars

If I see you
Am scared of
What will I might say
And what will I do

Is there a future
For me and you
I wish the world for you
I really do

Miss You
Jamie Oct 2013
Of course I do
Your eyes,
Your hair,
And everything you do

Most of all
Your smile

From clear view

What do I do
But for now
I will just say
.. I miss you ..

Silence
Jamie Sep 2013
Is the hardest thing for me to suffer
Millions of thoughts trying to make sense,
Be angry, be sad, say you want to **** me
Any sign that you care

How did we go from 'I miss you'
To not a message, a call, or a prayer
I always mess it up
Call me do you dare

Into more thoughts
More ambitions
More goals

I wish us to be fine
I really do

But the reality is
I don't know what you want
And more importantly
What I want to do

We owe nothing to each other
No payment is due

All you do is draw me in

I question
From time to time
Do I?
Really want you

We owe nothing to each other
No payment is due

Wouldn't it been
Easier
If we never spoke
If I never met you

Clever words can't help me now

Its time ...
The final goodnight

Bye bye

Or force you to defend

Or do I?
Seems like I don't know
