Cory Jensen Poems

Staring into a shattered mirror,
Only dead eyes; a forbidden place.
No life nor joy. No chance or hope.
No choice but to let it go.
...

Crawling in my skin,
These wounds they will not heal.
Keeping me from light,
I want to breathe again.
...

Tears are words
They have a story to tell
From a shattered heart
Who knows the story well.
...

Chucked over my shoulder,
Without a look behind.
This false key of yours,
Is no longer mine.
...

Placed deep in my front pocket;
Lays a sercet of unknown strength.
Written so carefully by a trembling hand;
Dotted with tears no one sees fall.
...

Don't blame yourself for my mistake
For I took this on for both of us.
It was your burden to bear,
I couldnt stand the pain of you breaking down.
...

Without you
The last pieces of my heart are falling through
I don't want to be alone
Everything I need was right in front of me.
...

Will you be my Romeo?
And I, your Juliet?
Lets run off into the sunset
With hate at our backs.
...

Turn off the light
Leave me in the dark.
The place that is home
The one place that yours.
...

If I knew that you were drawing your last breath
I would be at your bedside.
Holding your hand in my hands,
Letting you know everything is all right.
...
