Jessica VanderZee Poems

I wake up again
I realize this and start to cry
Why do I keep waking up
When I really want to die
...

Hold out your hands
and I'll give you my heart
but only if you promise
you won't tear it apart
...

A young boy and girl
at the age of six
drawing in the sand
with a couple of sticks
...

I miss your warm arms
and your beautiful smile
i'm ashamed to still miss you
we've been apart for awhile
...

My days are growing darker
I'm becoming more alone
I have such little hope
I've stopped waiting by the phone
...

something's just not right with you
you just are not the same
but if I were to ask you
I know just who you'd blame
...

Everyone will leave
and everyone lies
everyone will betray us
at some time in our lives
...

Your smile lights me up
and it makes my heart smile
but I can't let you know this
at least not for awhile
...

She wanders the streets
where she's always been known
but at the same time
she feels so alone
...

I remember the beginning
when I first looked in those eyes
their mysterious golden beauty
took me by surprise
...
