Jessica Robert Poems

Fear ran down my spine as I walked through the dark; gloomy forest
It's mystical, acient trees surrounded me; choking me with terror
I found no calm, no security as I paced
The trees waiting for the perfect opportunity to grab me
...

Tears streaked down my cheek
Soaking my lifeless face
A numb sensation
Pierce through my heart
...

There you stand
Across from me,
I stare, unable to look away from your beauty
You are the thing that holds me here now
...

Running from your fears
Running from your pain
Running from the trouble that keeps you lying awake
Running from the horror
...

this is crazy
who are we fooling?
pretending there's nothing
but feeling something
...

The world is changing
Nothing is the same
Your love is gone with the wind
And my life is less meaningful
...

Holding out
You find yourself sinking
Life is rough
And nothing is going right
...

My heart, no longer pumping me with blood
Is silence, forever with no beats
My skin transforming,
Pale white and ice cold
...

As autumn ends
The leaves fall from the branches
Leaving them bare with no protection
From the snipping bites of winter winds
...

I want to write
The un-writeable things
I want to write
How it feels to live
...
