Jessica Roxana May 2020
the fire in my heart starts
so many fighters
i stare with calmness
this feeling, it entraps me
do i really know what's going on?
i start swinging
i know i have to fight
i cannot feel anything else
this power, it's here
nobody can get to me
I'm only in a battle with myself
for all it is.
a war against me within me
you see.
i scream and drop to the floor now
but i get up even faster.
fists are thrown
i cannot count how many
dust in my eyes now
i think i'm dead
and it all just ends--
with a familiar touch.
inspired by..
instinct impulse
intensity.

My heart breaks tonight
When I realized-
He only likes me as a "hi" and "goodbye"
He keeps on walking
I keep on stopping
Hoping for a chance
That's like a flyer on a city sidewalk
Unnoticed

Pointing to the night sky
The moon, bright
Your hand brushes my hair
Mine goes over my eyes
Pulling away from you
Not wanting to
I look up to the sky, for an answer

In my dream, we're on the same page
Our hands swing in unison
Our bodies, the same

I grab my guitar
I sing songs of you
Walking around, feeling the breeze
I see you and her
But you held my hand, over the bridge
I'm dressed in white, alone
Being pulled back to reality,
I wander back--
Into the fog,
I cannot see clearly
When I'm thinking of you
I see you and her, cut the scene
Bring it back to us,
Another take, please

daydreaming
Jessica Roxana Dec 2016
in and out doors, i go
when the shadows show, i turn
stuck in an elevator, that keeps going up
let me out, bring it to a complete stop
the light seems to follow me
as i seek to find peace
crawling through the snow
rain falls upon my skin
here i go, here i will sleep
inspired by radio head's new song "daydreaming"

just thinking
Jessica Roxana May 2015
you've got nothing when your numb
when your heart and soul
are empty like a drum

D.
my feet are outside of the car
before the complete stop
your arms cannot wait
i jump at the sight of you
this love must be true

restless child
Jessica Roxana Nov 2014
i'll skip and sing around town
my hopes are in the sky
someday, he'll come around
it was an uncertain goodbye

i'm a child, who wants to sleep
fighting the urge and desire.
he's gone; from afar i admire
he's something i want but don't need

i close my eyes at bedtime
i hope to see
the world i once knew
where he's in it with me
written bout a year agoo (year agooo)

our something
Jessica Roxana Sep 2014
this is the greatest mystery
our skinny unfinished business
i would call but i don't know-
your number which changed long ago
random thoughts make me nostalgic
i still think of our "something"

suicides exercise
Jessica Roxana Jul 2014
saltwater upon my cheeks
and for several minutes i cannot speak
i am walking away from these thoughts
but you are running through my head
back and forth, doing suicides

and then i trip.

without dreams
Jessica Roxana Nov 2013
we're running off
getting on a star
the only one
that knows
who we are

i searched for
where they told me
you would be
without dreams
we cannot see

Jessica Roxana Nov 2013
the anticipation builds up
my eyes are taken by the clock
yet i am patient- anxious in my seat
sitting, waiting, for the bell to ring

i gather my books
with a diffident look
making my way

i walk in and settle upon my seat
pretending you're not next to me.
you say my name,
and a smile wipes my face.
i've come in contact again,
with my favorite part of the day.

— The End —
