Jessica Elizondo Poems

People ask me what I love about him.
And all i can do is smile and say,

I love the way he can cheer me up,
...

My worst enemy is so cruel
She tears me down when I'm happy
Oh, how I hate her.
...

Everytime I look at you,
everytime you smile,
everytime you talk to me,
I love you even more.
...

Do you feel my heart beat when it races when I see you?

Do you smile like crazy as I do because I waited the whole day to see you and now I've finally gotten the chance to?
...

Theres a bullet lying in my hand,
and as of now I'm hoping I wont waste it.
regrets tie my other hand behind my back.
No other way but this,
...

Yoiu took that scrap
paper and eched
within it's lines, you
pinned it on my jacket,
...

I look back on that night that changed everyones lives forever. A tear slides down my face as I look back on the times we spent, and the laughs we shared. I knew that you would have done anything for me, and for that I love you. I thank you for teaching me how to live and for teaching me lessons on my journey in life. I love you so much. tears fall like rain from my soaked blue eyes down to the floor, but a smile on my face as I look at the pictures of you, and memories that are so graciously stained in my mind. I love you and I thank you for all that you've given me. You said not to worry, I'll be fine. And I still hear your whispers as they protect me...

Dedicated to my Grandpa Raymond Tome.
