A wrinkle in time; in that moment you laughed and then the moment passed me by  
In that exact moment your laugh caught my eye;
Then I saw shooting stars making landfall on to the surface of Mars
The echoes of your laugh spiralled out of control in to my mind’s eye and lit up my soul
Entire parallel universes in their corresponding dimensions unwrapped in warp time & light speeds
You were setting me up for the inevitable fall
The fall that would come eventually and in the next moment I fell
Head over heels in love you could tell- so much it hurts
An epiphany - you are not the only woman for me in this world followed by this catharsis
But you are the only one for me in the entire multiverse;
But all these revelations took place in a parallel dimension on a mirror earth on a counter  ecosphere  
Because in this cosmos I never heard your laugh
Never saw shooting stars, create craters on Mars
Just as you left your impression on my heart;  
But sadly in this time line you never caught my eye
Hence in this realm all these moments just passively passed me by

He saved her
When she didn't want to be saved.
She was on death's bed
Her mind already made.
One last song she wanted to sing
Before she burned in Hell for eternity.

She knew she had lived for far too long
Everyone said she could overcome.
But only she could feel her pain.
No one understood
She would choose to live if she could.
So she sang her song.

A song that sang hello
Because she hated goodbyes.
This way, she could hide her cries.
Her cries in disguise
Her time to say goodbye.
She sang her last note.

But then a good soul came,
Asked her for her name.
Her tongue all tangled up.
A guardian angel
His wings spread wide
Wiped her tears and heard her cries.
So scared to regain hope
But his love helped her cope.
Not a worry in the world.
He did everything he could
To do her heart good.
Just to bring her joy.

When her life was at it's end
A whole new story began.
One's words cannot describe.
Her soul lives on when it could have been gone
Because of a Hello that was meant to be a Goodbye.

-Jillian Jade
This poem is about a time in her life when she wanted to commit suicide, but because someone special came into her life, AND CARED, she was able to see the happiness in life once again. She sang Hello by Adele, meaning for it to be her last song, but he heard it as a hello, when she meant it as a goodbye to the world. Because of simple words her life was restored.

Linking You down with my life
We're busy as usual, but we should make time
Last semester drew a hole in me with its Scythe
With lost time, I don't think I could ever be fine
Last season sent me into a limitless abyss
How you pulled me out was the ultimate assist
I damaged you and I lost your trust
I never can be perfect, but I can perfect us
I love tapping into your emotions
But I cry at night, because I'm hopeless
You can notice in my melancholic notions
My story with you is limitless, nonetheless
I've walked the Dawn with a broken heart on my sleeve
My heart's patched, but the scars profusely bleed

Could you cover me,
From the blinding lies
The deafening silence
And swallowing darkness?

Will you hold me
So I won't fall,
Break into pieces
And shatter my already fragile heart?

Lastly can you promise me,
to say you won't promise me these lies again,
So I won't fall for another heart break,
And the risk is just too much to take
because you've had
Too many
Second chances
He's not worth it this time, I know that much now.

The storm argues, the professing innocent sky
The angry drunk of lightning, grieving grey bruises on the clouds
Leaving Her too weak to do anything but cry

Hoping the blue she once knew might return

In the last of her efforts she stretches color,
Arking over the abuse of the sky

In an effort of promise, to love once again

When you left, it was devastating. I was at the point where out of nowhere I'll just cry. Whenever I see or hear something which reminds me of you, it makes me sad. I almost thought it was impossible for me to move on. It was hard. Really hard. You're my first relationship so it was difficult for me to get over you. After the break up, I still hoped. I still talked to you. Whenever your mom invites me to come over, I do come.

Until the time when you found someone else. You've found a new love. And yet, here I am, moving on. The moment I knew that you have a new lover, I stopped everything. I did not talk to you anymore and even to your Mom. As a respect to your girlfriend, I did that.

A few months after, you invited me for dinner. Yes, I admit, that time I still have feelings for you and I miss you so bad so regardless of you being in a relationship, I accepted your invitation. We talked. We did catch up with each other's lives and when we're about to part, you kissed me on the forehead just like the old times. I was surprised. I don't know if it meant something. You whispered "i miss you". I said I miss you too. After that, we bid goodbye. I felt so guilty with what happened. I shouldn't have gone there to meet you. You have a girlfriend and it didn't look right. It didn't feel right. That night, I decided that it'll be the last but you kept texting me, asking me out again. And out of stupidity, I entertained you. Why? Because I miss you and I still do feel something for you.

To cut the story short, we got back together. That time you invited me once again, you broke up with her. You said you kept comparing her to me and that I'm still the one you love. I was happy but I felt bad for the girl. We gave our relationship another shot but as time goes by, I keep realizing things. It's making me confused. The truth is, I don't know if it was right that  we're together again and the worst, I am not sure if I still love you or I just missed you. I don't know. And right now, I'm struggling. Thinking if we should continue this. The butterflies are fading. The feelings aren't as sweet as it was before. I guess I already moved on from our break up and I did not realize it until we met and did the same things again. I feel like this is not something that must go on anymore.

I guess what they said was true, that giving something another shot will help you get to know what you really feel and what you have to do. At this point of our relationship, I still do care for you but I don't think care is enough for this to work. For us to work. It may sound unfair to you but let me not care. Let me do something selfish at this point of my life. At least right now I figured out what I truly feel.

Second chances aren't always about two people ending back together but it is something that will help you find yourself. Another chance to make the right choices. Another chance t figure out things. Another chance to take one more risk. Another chance to be better not for anyone bur for yourself. Learn to find your center before loving someone else again.

And I think I'm falling...finally falling out of love. Just when I thought I couldn't, it's still you who made me realize that I could
Sometimes, when I let go of you, I fall.
I fall into a wood chipper and cry sawdust.
I fall into ******* and bleed lust.
I fall into gold chocolate and I eat rust.
Nothing's more painful than letting go of the truth.

Sometimes, when I leave you behind, I forget things.
I think the touch of your skin is like slug slime.
I think of your voice like a broken nursery rhyme.
I think these wounds will all heal in time, in time.
Nothing's more regretful than being human; losing youth.

Sometimes, when I drown with you, I'm good at math.
Factor in all the times you made me lose the path.
Divided by the times I boldly faced your wrath.
Multiplied by that time I quit you cold turkey.
Nothing equals: why do I even love you after all?

Sometimes, when I dream of you, the other stars fade.
The secret to loving you explains how the universe was made.
The sun and the moon make love, eclipsed nightmares evade.
Venus and Mars make pillow-talk a banquet of bliss.
Our signs aren't compatible, but why trust the zodiac?

Sometimes, when we fight, there's a silver lining.
I mine for it and melt it down, polish it and wear it.
I'd never sell it, but I would brag about it.
I'd never forge one, but I caught you faking it.
Conduct a survey of my affections and find it unanimous.

Sometimes, when it's over, it's just beginning.
I see you on the horizon of dawn escaping the wake of sunset.
I hear you playing the harp of loneliness in a crowded cacophonous room.
I taste you weeping as your new love docks in from an ocean voyage.
Nothing's more dissolving than the nature of your serpentine carousel.

In short, never have I ever never gone a day without thinking of you,
Without wandering the wastelands wondering when I'll next see you,
Without my heart aching under the heartbreaking realization that you,
The edifice of my pining, are exactly who I thought you weren't, you,
Are healing poison, and I'll only drink when I wish to die whilst feeling alive again.
I wrote this last year on July 1st.
It's almost an anniversary of all the craziness I went through with my ex. Strange how I miss her all the more.
Currently, she won't respond to my messages, so... oh, well.

I wrote this in healing from a world of pain, not entirely concerning her, but that healing gave me a moment of clarity, which, given my poetic nature, allowed me to write this poem of which I am very proud.

Enjoy!

I was told this evening
That I'm far too young
To speak how I do
That may be true
I'm far too bitter
Sadness has encroached my life
Far more than it should
But let me tell you
Perhaps you're too old
To remember when agony gripped your heart
And turned you into what you are today
The memory works in mysterious ways
Blocking out heartbreak
With nostalgia
Ohhh how simple life was then!
But it wasn't
You were probably just as cold, bitter, and arrogant as you are today
Just remember those nights
You sat in tears
Waiting for sleep to take you
And make life seem like it was ok
As I have aged
The tears won't come
Sleep hides from my eyes
And life doesn't seem alright
It just makes you uncomfortable
That someone this young already knows that
Now let's leave that in the past
And see who makes it to the goal first
I'm young enough
The race is close
I might even win!
