Classy J 17h
Verse 1:
Chasing ghosts in the dead of the night,
Swallowed whole by the pale moonlight.
Drinking deep from a hollow dream,
Sinking slow in a silent scream.

Pre-Chorus:
I feel the embers in my lungs,
I taste the venom on my tongue…
Do you see me?
Do you hear me now?

Chorus:
Screaming through the void, lost in the haze,
Falling faster, swallowed by the flames.
Jacob’s ladder calls my name,
But I’m too far gone to be saved.

Verse 2:
Torn apart by a love misplaced,
Knuckles bruised from the wars I waged.
I kissed the reaper, held his gaze,
One step closer, still enslaved.

Pre-Chorus:
I hear the echoes in my veins,
A requiem for all my shame…
Will you hold me?
Can you save me now?

Chorus:
Screaming through the void, lost in the haze,
Falling faster, swallowed by the flames.
Jacob’s ladder calls my name,
But I’m too far gone to be saved.

Bridge:
I was waiting for the fall…
I was waiting for the fire…
Oh, how it feels to let go…
Oh, how it feels to expire…

Breakdown:
Do I take the novocaine? To numb the pain!
Or do I carve my name in the rain?
Either way, I’m always one step…
One step closer to the grave.

Outro:
Shattered glass, a fractured fate…
Tell me, love, is it too late?
Watch the fire…
Let it take me in…
Let it burn me clean again…

I have written thousands of letters,
I have written hundreds of nights,
And I have seen two lovers fight —
But they’re not fighting with each other,
Still, they are lovers in my story.

I have watched them talking,
A few lies and a thousand truths.
I have written their story,
I have decorated their glory.

That’s all I have given to them,
This is all I would leave behind.
But that’s not all they deserve,
And I will try again for them.
I will write their story again for them.

I would burn all the ashes for them,
Without paying any mind.
I would try to write their names together,
But I know I can’t spell it forever.

Still, I would continue writing their story,
I would write it like a song,
I would sing it like a poem,
I would say it like they’re gods —
In the hope that somehow, they can be together.

But they can’t be the same lovers,
Because, as I said before,
They’re fighting, but not with each other.
They’re complaining, but not about each other.
They’re crying about their lovers
Who left them halfway.
I wrote this poem for the lovers who never got their ending — for those still holding on, even when love slipped away.
So let me bleed out,
On this night, upon my sacred ground.

Where my memories linger,
Like the echo of the gunshot of a gunslinger.

Where my unfulfilled desires whisper,
Like the silent waves crashing on the shore.

Where I longed for something that did not exist,
For a home that I'll never vergisst.

Where once it rained so heavy,
Those rains washed away my pain,
But left me in anguish, in vain.

I’ve turned into a puddle,
Melted by the warmth of your smile.
It’s the way you look at me,
The way you’ve wrapped yourself around my soul.

I’ve cried oceans thinking of you.
And when I do,
All I feel are these warm, fuzzy feelings
Tumbling in my chest,
Making me lighter, making me happy.

I hold you in the highest place in my mind.
You’ve stolen my heart.
When I’m with you, butterflies stir—
Fluttering, restless, begging to be free.
And when I gaze into your beautiful eyes,
I see a window into your soul,
A glimpse of my greatest dream.

Loving you feels like a gentle, flowing stream,
Soft, constant, and magical.
The places I want to take you, Emy,
Are indescribable—
Worlds born of pure imagination,
Places only we can dream of.

You are sweet,
Caring,
Beautiful in every way.
I want you to know—
I’m here to stay.
Forever, you’ll hold my heart in your hands,
And what you do with it is yours to decide.

When I’m gone, know this:
If they take my heart from me,
It will still belong to you.

You’re everywhere, Emy—
In my heart, my lungs,
My soul, my bones.
You are the essence of me.
And though we’re both made of carbon,
You’re something rarer—
A diamond.

A diamond brighter than any other.
One that no riches could ever claim.
A diamond that makes me cry,
That fills me with joy,
That leaves me in awe.

You are one of a kind, Emy.
Wear it proudly.
There may be other Emas,
But there is only one Emy—
Only one whose beauty the world must know.

Eres mis sueños más bellos,
Porque los momentos que paso contigo
Viven en mi mente, repitiéndose sin fin.
Eres hermosa, la hermosa,
La única en este mundo.

Ay, Emy, ¿qué vamos a hacer?
Si quieres, te llevo a las estrellas,
Y allí bailaremos todas las noches,
Solo tú y yo.

Oh, Emy.
Oh, Emy.

Te veo,
En mis sueños.
I’ve dreamed of a place where I can rest,
Yet I never searched with hope—still, you found me.
Your warmth, your touch, your eyes—
They awaken something I thought long lost.

It isn’t fantasy, nor is it a dream- I can see it now.
Ive grown accustomed to wandering through gardens of thorns, yet you chose to hand me nothing but delicate flowers.

You are what I couldn’t fathom to dream of.
You kiss my scars, and they begin to heal.
You stitch my wings, and I learn to fly.
You cultivate a field of wildflowers,
So I may run free beneath the open sky.

Unrelentlessly fighting with ghosts of my past, You breathed life into what was fading.
For you, I lay down my sword, my shield, my armor—
You’ve rendered them useless.
With your love, your strength, your unwavering devotion—
The past never stood a chance.

I revel in the thought of our souls entwined,
Dancing through lifetimes before this one.
I see my future filled with dreams that only a rare few could ever grasp.

So take my hand and lead me forward,
Through fields kissed by golden light.
With you, love is not just a fleeting moment,
But the quiet eternity I never thought I’d find.

Even if the world should darken,
Even if time dares to pull us apart,
Know this—
My love for you will outlive the stars,
And in every life, I will find you again.
And my heart- it is and always will be truly yours to keep.

one day I'll find my soulmate
I'll marvel at their eyes
so blue and deep like the ocean with waves that brush up against the damp sand
or so green and mysterious like the endless forest with echoes of birds calling out to each other
or so brown and bright like the earth that brings forth life and beauty
I'll write poems about their smile and their laugh
like the sun shone from their lips like the sound of ecstasy
I'd write never-ending ballads about their heart
so abundant with love
a kind word to say about everybody
one day I'll find my soulmate
and I'll love them like they've never been loved before
