Jeremy Willson Poems

Can I grow wings like new
And jump off this picturesque view
A bridge so wonderfully high and sturdy
Like a nest in a tree and I'm the Birdy
...

People are always so concerned about the distance
But it's only as far or as near as you make the expanse
That they are worried about, but what they don't realize
Is that distance is not measurable and I'm not wise
...

We're just a couple of rejects and outcasts
Haunted by the ghosts of our pasts
We never knew that life would be so systematic
"Don't color outside the box", well imagination is what they lack
...

The gloomy boy fell asleep under the old oak tree
He laid there with his cigarette between his lips, he felt free
But only in his dreams never in his dreary reality
He pushed away all the people who spoke to him playfully
...

You can listen to my heart
Stare into my dark brown eyes
And betray a kiss on these lips
...

I sat in front of your door
Criss crossed in the middle of the hall
Your apartment complex is so small
And theirs stains all over the floor
...

Searching for a reason to keep going
On and on the days roll by and by
Easy listenin' aint a rollercoaster ride
So we turned the radio up
...

I thought you loved me
I dreamed of us
Held you in my arms
Stayed up late at night
...

Spilling my guts to a stranger
Isn't as scary
As the constant thought
That maybe we'll be together
...

Spray painted words on an old abandoned building
Thrown around bricks through shattered windows
Leaves and snow sprawled out across the living room
Welcoming us in
...
