Untitled Poem by Jade Leven

so dear to my heart
tell me this is the hardest part
don’t let another tear be shed
like a stake through my chest,
which feels like lead

don’t make me feel worse
do you know how much this hurts
look at you, you’re a mess
such a troubled spirit
in your perfect flesh

come here, please, let me heal your wounds
you won’t let me, you think they’re a piece of you
I can’t stand looking at your broken skin
please let me be your angel again

golden sunlight
tell me we can still make this right
don’t let go of our memories
don’t forget
you were so close to me

beautiful words
you were the only one who heard
when I spoke of my pain
you’d just say
one day it will be over anyway

come here, please, let me heal your wounds
you won’t let me, you think they’re a piece of you
I can’t stand looking at your broken skin
please let me be your angel again

and all I get when I cry
is a “what are you crying for? ”
no apologies
that’s alright, but I expected just a little more
of both of us

come here, please, let me heal your wounds
you won’t let me, you think they’re a piece of you
I can’t stand looking a t your broken skin
please let me be your angel again

so dear to my heart
tell me this is the hardest part
we can’t make it how it was before
but I expected a little more of
both of us
