Jade Leven Poems

back and forth we swing forever
let's pray the ropes will never sever
we've had our ups and downs
we've forgotten how peace sounds
...

the eyes into which you stared
told you that you're crazy not to be scared
when everything familiar
is falling to pieces tomorrow
...

crumpled-up letters next to yellowed photographs
brings back the white noise of our fading laughs
now that's what I call over
now that's what you call love
...

if the objects in the mirror
are closer than they appear
then I must be so far from knowing who I am
when I look into the glass
...

what a shame that on such a beautiful day
I'm asking this question that will change the way
you look at me, do you see anything at all
I'll listen to what you have to say, but you won't always be the one
...

there's black in the water
and no one can see it but me
I am the only one to blame
pouring my heart out so carelessly
...

why do I feel you never hear me?
I need it more than ever now
because I had a dream woven into a fantasy
when I thought that we'd make it somehow
...

there is a road that I have seen but do not know
so many come but so few are lucky enough to go
traveling the beaten path through their existence
on the road that I have seen but do not know
...

I think that you love me
and I think there must be a reason
because it's something like a fairytale to me
...

especially now, I need you more than ever
because I can’t handle this year without you
you’re something to remind me that it’s okay to cry
I know never to doubt you
...
