Jessica Lindsey Poems

From the edges of my trembling lips
The word it stumbles, crumbles, slips
Heavy into the air, it hangs,
Then crashes down, a ton of bricks.
...

All the memories of you
Flooding back to my brain
All the memories of you
Are driving me insane.
...

An angel sleeping, beautiful
We'd love to linger and stare
But we know she awakes as the Devil
And we do not dare to be there
...

It's funny how when it's come to an end,
When you're truly walking out the door,
While I'm too proud to stop you,
My heart and head are waging war
...

i wish i was a little girl
still tripping on my laces
or sprawled across the floor with crayons
coloring silly faces.
...

I gave away my heart
And was surprised when I found,
Later on that night
My heart trampled on the ground.
...

The sun came out of nowhere,
Lifted shadows, there you were
And now you're sitting with me here
Chasing Lonely out the door.
...

So with flawless execution
You've left me hanging without conclusion
You, with the strength of twenty men
Claim to fear the wrath of a single one?
...

Pause at the door,
Heart racing.
I know what I will
Find, but hope...
...

In less time than it takes to pass the hours of a day
she slipped into a nightmare from which she could not break away.
From a crooked angle with blondish curls
he broke into her life
...
