Jade Leven Poems

you can tell me that I'm not good enough
that I deserve to die
that I shouldn't even try
but you can't hold me down
...

Dear Love,
the disease my heart is dying of
show yourself in purest form
let my soul be calm and warm
...

sits on the sidelines
the shots ring out loud
watches the smoke clear
pushes through the crowd
...

another dream about you
another disappointment
when I wake up and I find
that I have lost this love to time
...

I'd give anything
not to have this blood at my feet
not to have this much regret
and memories of grim defeat
...

paying the price
a blank page staring back at me
what to say?
taking the hardest hits
...

are you a door you close forever,
or should I leave you wide open...
for possibilities to come as time ticks on?
if I don't hear you leave, are you really gone?
...

I have never felt so much at one time...
anger, sadness, love, jealousy.

emotions are filling me up
...

I don't think I truly understand
the value of the pen and the paper in my hand
or the gift of simply reminiscing
and knowing there aren't any pieces missing
...

flowing strands of glass...
impossible unless seen with more than your eyes
times that have come to pass
reflect themselves before me as the ocean sighs
...
