Jade Leven Poems

at your window at eleven-thirty
tapping lightly
heart full of love, heartbeat pace
increasing slightly
...

go on and get changed into your dress
make them think for one second that you're at your best
you have high chances of fooling their eyes
forget it... you'll never fool their minds
...

thinking deeply
I don't want to talk
staring at the cracks
in the sidewalk
...

everybody's doing wrong
I wish I wanted to go along
...

everything has to have a beginning
and everything has to have an end
I struggle to keep my heart open
something always closes it again
...

you called and said
you wanted to see me
and you were walking up my street
...

I love to see you in love...
so I guess it is real
and I wish I knew myself
how special it is to feel
...

she's so used to being this
something he loves to look at
we all want what we can't have
...

I wish I could smile and look up at you
but I only sigh and look down at my feet
so many times we’ve talked, so many worlds we’ve walked
just to stand here in the heat
...

so dear to my heart
tell me this is the hardest part
don’t let another tear be shed
like a stake through my chest,
...
