Nostalgic
Jay Lewis Dec 2021
I loathe the feeling of nostalgia.
And yet, you are the purest reason why I ever looked back in the first instance.

If you ever looked for me
Jay Lewis Dec 2021
If you ever looked for me in the eyes of your friend, a lover or a stranger and you couldn’t find me…I wanted you to know that someone did.

All it took was a glance in the mirror.

Psycho tale
Jay Lewis Jan 2020
I use to want a fairytale,
where boy meets girl,
and love prevails.

But now I look upon this fable differently.
I don't want some guy, coming to rescue me.

I want a rocky start, our first fight,
burnt the dinner, partying after midnight.

I don't want clean cut,
I want cut throat,
where boy meets girl and they both laugh until they choke.

Stormy Skies.
Jay Lewis Jan 2020
I've met girls who swooned over guys
"Oh my God, he gives me butterflies!"
When I wanted to be moved by stormy skies.

Green Eyes.
Jay Lewis Dec 2019
Our friendship was like a pocket full of sunshine,
Taking shots at midnight,
Dancing till we saw the sunrise.
Never thought you wanted to go,

but I guess that’s what you needed to be alone.

Blue eyes.
Jay Lewis Dec 2019
You left me barely breathing,
Underneath you.
I starred into your blue eyes,
Begging you not to.

All my stars,
why did the lights burn down?
Tears from my eyes,
made me drown him out.

Back to bed.
Jay Lewis Dec 2019
When he leaves me in the morning,
I’m barely awake.

Kiss me on the lips, neck, cheek and face.
You hold my hand and say
“I wish I didn’t have to go.”

I move the bed sheets and say
“Well don’t.”

what could have been.
Jay Lewis Jul 2019
Every night,
Before I dream,
I wonder what our lives could have been.

Hurt.
Jay Lewis May 2019
Filling up the ashtray,
Mascara running down my face,
Already on my third glass,
Can't believe you'd do that.
To me.

It's ok.
Jay Lewis Mar 2019
The sun beams dry up my teary face,
I'm worn out trying to seem ok.

and It's ok,
that I'm not ok.

Stay
Jay Lewis Mar 2019
Spend a little longer
with me darling,
I'm missing your touch
your so charming.

Why does it have to be this way?
Why can't you just stay?

First sight.
Jay Lewis Feb 2019
One man's "I don't like you."
Is another man's "it was love at first sight."

Cross the line.
Jay Lewis Jan 2019
Repressing your feelings,

   Like I'm repressing mine.
  
      Pretending we're just friends,

         We dare not risk nor cross that line.

With you.
Jay Lewis Jan 2019
I can't help this feeling
All I want is an evening.
If you just made the first move.
I just want to be with you.

Starlight.
Jay Lewis Jan 2019
I wonder if the stars get so lonely being in the cold night sky,
That they decide to burn themselves out
so they might feel some warmth before they die.

To be.
Jay Lewis Dec 2018
Please don't get offended,
That I no longer care.
You see I wait around,
but you were never there.

I got tired
and angry,
frustrated
and mad.
That you were happy
and I was sad.

But I realise now some things
aren't meant to be
And being with you
wasn't meant for me.

Broken.
Jay Lewis Dec 2018
How much more broken can I get?
I've been chewed up,
broken down
and crushed into tiny little bits.

I yearn to write endless poems about you
But there's no right words to encrypt what I feel towards you.

Her.
Jay Lewis Jun 2018
You never wanted to be apart.
I split my soul and gave you half.

~For my Dearest.

Drop by.
Jay Lewis Jun 2018
I have spiders crawling up and down my spine,
I'm so nervous,
so I'll bide my time
I'm hanging on the line
Just waiting for you to drop by.

You.
Jay Lewis Apr 2018
You.
You know who you are.
I miss you more
than the moon misses the morning blood star.

I wish I had the courage to tell you
But I'll keep my distance stay afar
and be proud of who you are
The things you've done.
But I hope in years to come
If you see me alone
or with my family who's grown
To look at me with happy eyes and a smile corroding your face
And recall memories and begin to trace every detail like it was yesterday

Do you remember me?
Because I'll never forget you.
And I'll never replace you.
And it's hard to explain
this blood pumping through my veins whenever I hear your name.
I'll never be the same
after everything
We've been through
When I see you to this day
You
look at me like I'm a stranger
A shadow that fades away.

Him.
Jay Lewis Apr 2018
Eyes meet,
across the room.
I look away,
but still think of you.

A smile appears,
upon my face.
Can't replace this feeling
& You're to blame.

Drop Dead.
Jay Lewis Feb 2018
Black tie,
Black suit.
I'm Thinking of you.
Black dress,
Black shoes.
Good god Girl.
I'm missing you.

Where are you?
Where did you go?
Lord don't take her,
her body's not even cold.
I need you.
Please don't go.
Take my hand.
Let's grow old.
Don't give up
on me just yet.
At least wait
until my final breath.

These are words,
He never said.
Maybe he'll say them
when I drop dead.

Him.
Jay Lewis Jan 2018
I looked at old photos of us today,
I wonder if you were really happy being with me.

I choked up seeing your handwriting again,
wondering if we could ever make amends.

I know we haven't spoken in such a long time,
And I can barely get you off of my mind.

I know you couldn't stand me towards the end but I miss you because you were my best friend.

I am sorry for hurting you.
And I forgive you for hurting me.
I just wanted it like before when you said you loved me.

Drag you down.
Jay Lewis Jan 2018
I am from Myths and tales.
The one that sailors,
wish to prevail.
I am the girl,
who wails.
The one that men,
can't resist.
I am the Siren,
named Bliss.

With just one kiss,
I'll drain you up,
and you'll think,
it's true love.

I'll take you all,
I'll drag you down.
I'll drown you in perfection,
until the next guy comes around.

I would happily drag you down.

Gone.
Jay Lewis Dec 2017
As plain as it is to see,
I think of you,
when he's with me.
I still love you,
and it kills me.

Every single time,
I try to leave,
I hear your voice saying,
Don't you dare,
give up on me.

I tried to live as if you were by my side,
But theres only so much acting,
I can do to get by.
I've loved you through this year alone.
And I can't do it anymore on my own.

Mourning you.
Jay Lewis Nov 2017
Take me back to that night,
where the lamppost was the only light in the sky.
Where you turned around and looked into my eyes, I held my breath and your lips met mine.

I felt you die in my arms that morning,
You left without any warning.
You left without a word,
You broke my wings so it would take me longer to walk away from the hurt.

It was your last chance.
And you left,
Without any regret.
I wish you held on,
I can never move on,
this for you is my swan song.

I'm Mourning you every day.
No one compares,
you were the one for me.
But I wasn't enough,
I've tried to become tough.
But his love wasn't strong enough to stay.
I wish you could see my pain.
I'm mourning you until my dying day.

End game.
Jay Lewis Nov 2017
I forget, Sometimes.
I tear up when your in my mind.
But you see, You were right.
To leave.

You saved me,
And you gave my life back.
You showed me, No one owns me,
No one knows me like that.
You gave me the best gift when you left.
It was a curse but now it's been lifted.

I can finally breathe,
And focus on me.
Before I couldn't see,
my anger was clouding me.
I'm sorry I was reckless,
It was the only way to get through this.

I miss your touch,
but your dangerous.
I love your mind,
but you can never be mine.
I miss our time,
but I've been through enough.
The best gift you gave me was ending us.

Mind Games.
Jay Lewis Oct 2017
You played the Joker,
I was the Queen of Hearts.
But I didn't know the deck was filled with false cards.

You were the Magician.
And Me as the assistant.
A swish of dust and I went cold,
distant.

Did you really think you could win me back?
I'm not as simple as pulling white rabbits out of black top hats.

No,
I'm not planning on
the great escape,
No,
I'm not buying anymore of your
Mind Games.

Inseperable.
Jay Lewis Sep 2017
I still have the stuffed toy that you once gave me.
I kept your shirt in my dresser honey.
When I get depressed,
I hold it and think of you.
What happened to us?
I don't have a clue.

I miss the way that you use to call my name,
When other guys say it,
well it doesn't sound the same.
Now I'm here in this mind maze,
caught in a web of deceit.
You write such beautiful poetry about things that could be.

While you brushed it off,
I tied the knot in the rope that you handed me.
Yeah you smiled a lot,
I began to choke on my jealous.
While you were out with all your friends,
I was patiently waiting for my life to end.

We were inseparable,
Joint at the hip.
But now I'm drinking so much it makes me sick.
Where did it all go so wrong?
I thought you were the one.

We were inseparable.
Now you can barely look at me.
It hurts so much that I wasn't enough, you never even tried to chase me.
It's plain to see you never really loved me.

Stardust
Jay Lewis Sep 2017
Do you ever forget,
how lonely you are?
When the silence creeps in,
like the moon and the stars.
And all they see above so high,
is untold stories,
seen by those twinkling lights.

Everything that we once knew,
It was false, untrue.
We didn't know the truth,
Watching the stars burn as they die.

We're made of stardust too,
When I look at them,
I think of you.
They know our untold story
and how it'll never touch pen to page.
Why do you think it rains?
They're crying for us two,
Don't feel lonely,
when I'm always with you.

— The End —
