Jacob Andrew Jarman Poems

eyes glue, unaware
sugar coated, violent stare
'i promise peace justice
a better place'
...

I was the girl with the velvet hair
the perfect smile, without a care
i was the girl you always knew
i was the girl virgin and new
...

I scratch words hopelessly, at the back of my mind
think of something to say, something unkind
i pull my eyes shut to tear me from you
my hands like putty, my love like glue
...

I gave you my arms
to keep you safe
I gave you my words
you fed me lies
...

silenced, I try to speak but the words linger in my throat
My arms shake, I choke
my skin shivers, no hope
I close my eyes, tightly hoping for a breeze
...

there are sunsets more calming
and panic more alarming
than you voice is charming
but i love you
...

The wind settles
the pain fades
the dark brightens
my eyes open
...

so the distance
keeps us apart
but I know
whats in my heart
...

Inadequate my words
written on the glass
my eyes blind open
my breath my last
...

violence of the past
lingers in my mouth
I spit it out
yet it remains
...
