Jade Leven Poems

thunder and lightning
childhood fears
mixed with cold uncertainty
this could result in tears
...

if lying was against the law
then I would never make it
especially if you asked me how I felt about you
I'd have to admit the worst of what is true
...

I hope you believed me completely
when I told you today that you're wonderful
I hope you know that when I say I love you
it's entirely unconditional
...

would you believe me if I said I didn't need you anymore
I doubt you would, because I always said you were the reason for me
I guess I used to think you were, but now I see my lack of reason
I didn't like you, I liked the idea of what you could be
...

I wanted to comfort you and hold you in my arms
I was constantly held captive by your unknowing charm
but now I understand how your mind and heart work
and I realized you're something our pain isn't worth
...

back when I was alright
you made it seem like I was not
so I cried out that I was alone
reckless and distraught
...

You are the guitarist
who sits on the sidewalk
and gives your heart to strangers
sharing with them your story
...

'Love only exists in the deepest corners of the soul. It can never truly be felt if it is only searched for on the surface.' -Jade Leven

you take me so much deeper
than anyone ever did before
...

pages flying through the air
everywhere
records of our love and war
can’t seem to shake it
...

Dedicated to someone I thought I knew.

am I dreaming?
I'm here in a hospital
...
