Justine Cole Poem
Friday night the world crashed through
Breaking down my life
And my heart too
You've dropped me for the latest in the line
You've left me for somebody else
This should be a sign
How can I still love you after what I've gone through
I still want your arms around me tight
Yet nothing about our situation is right
How can I still care when you're not even gonna be there
After all the tears I've cried
The hollowness I feel inside
How do I still wish to be by your side
I still want to believe you're the one
Maybe cause I don't know how to get over you
How do I pick up my feet and forget
"Move on" they'll say but where do I go
Who I am without you now
I just don't know
I'm conflicted
You're deadly to my being
Yet I'm still addicted
Try to tell myself
That you're just fire and all you will do is burn
I try to tell myself as if I'll learn
You burn the ones that love you
Trying to get it through my head
It doesn't work
I still love you
How do I take back the memories since we met
How could I ever regret
How could I ever-after the life you gave me
You're withdrawing the value like using an ATM
Put the value back into me
Get me breathing
Being empty isn't easy
How do I take back the memories since we met
How could I ever regret
Maybe cause I don't know how to get over you
How do I pick up my feet and forget
"Move on" they'll say but where do I go
Who I am without you now
I just don't know
I'm conflicted
You're deadly to my being
Yet I'm still addicted
Try to tell myself
That you're just fire and all you will do is burn
I try to tell myself as if I'll learn
You burn the ones that love you
Trying to get it through my head
It doesn't work
I still love you

Justine Cole Poem
Romeo and Juliet take a hike
You had something pretty nice
I've got the whole world but I'm alone
I've become a one girl tragedy
Out of my mind
Lost capacity
A ghost who wishes to be seen
Pathetically partner less cause
Love's been one sided affair
Romeo and Juliet; at least they were a pair

Justine Cole Poem
Our lives are like stories
Like the ones found in books
We all play our part in the plot
But you were a bit more than just a character
Babe, you were a chapter
Chapters begin and end so quickly
So fleeting, like the way we would flirt
A heart-pounding beginning with a dry, cold close
I'm saying good bye
This is for every time I could have cried
This is for every night that you forgot I exist
But I haven't shed a tear on you and, boy, I'm not gonna try
This is for every single mean thing you say
This is me deciding not to pretend I'm looking the other way
This is something I'm doing for me
So good bye, cause no longer will I be the girl who is blind
The chapter has sealed itself shut
So sit in your room and play some mean songs about me
I don't care, I know somebody with nicer hair
As a kid you must have been the bully on the playground
I'm done being the girl you give affection to and push down
And I'm tired of standing on the sidelines while you try to run the show
I'm gonna move on with my life
Prove there are things you will never know
There are things that books can't tell you
Things only the heart can understand
You don't have one of those
So, pardon me, if I don't consider you a man
The chapter has ended but I won't shed a tear
The future's too bright for me to look back to darkness

Justine Cole Poem
I look in the mirror today
See a plastic smiling face
A thousand flaws
A hundred more lies
This has become my life
Black hair falling over
Pale skinned shoulders
Blue eyes willing you to believe I'm perfectly fine
A scar on my arm and a tattoo
Of something I fear I will never experience
The lights are dim
As I know in my heart I need to be near him
Cause he thinks the best of me
And I'm sick of being around people that hate me
The things they say, the dirty looks they give
It's contagious
It slowly eats at the will to live
I sit in my room alone
Hundreds of miles from home
Congratulations, my peers
You're so persuasive
Every time I look in the mirror
I see the words you say
I hear it in the silence
Every single day
Black hair falling over
Pale skinned shoulders
Blue eyes willing you to believe I'm perfectly fine
I need familiar arms to crash into
I'm so stuck I cannot move
A ghost looking into a mirror
Cause I'm not really all there anymore

Justine Cole Poem
If you cry out my name
I'll come running to your door
I'll be there when the world walks out
When you're broken up inside
I will be by your side
Hold you through the night
Be there when it rains
There will be storms, I promise you
But I swear I will help you get through
Cause it can't rain forever
I'll follow you, whatever you do
My arm around your neck
Your head on my shoulder
Hold you tight
Squeeze back in you the will to carry on
The spark, the fire, the fight
If you cry out my name
I'll come running to your door
There will be storms, I promise you
But I swear I will help you get through
Cause it can't rain forever
I'll follow you, whatever you do
You can never be alone
Cause a part of me is tied to you
Just know that
I'm never alone when I think of you
I'll be there every single second
Every single day
For the rest of my life
You're an amazing person
One of these days, I know
I hope
You will see more in me than the girl who is your friend
Cause I'll be there for you more than any one in the end

Justine Cole Poem
The lights have gone out
Dark make up smeared across my face
Silence except for the voices echoing through my mind
Alone in the loneliest place
There's pieces of me I need to find
Feel the rain in my hair
I'm dead inside
Desiring a one night affair
Want to find someone to make me alive
Run your fingers through my hair
You'll break my heart but I don't have the sense to care
I should shut you out
But I'll let you in
I need to feel someone touch my skin
When you're lonely for so long
There's no way to really win
No wrong or right
No rules
Not tonight
Just you and me til daylight
Feel the rain in my hair
I'm dead inside
Desiring a one night affair
Want to find someone to make me alive
Run your fingers through my hair
You'll break my heart but I don't have the sense to care
The morning afters my burden to bear
I know it
Like you too much for one night affair
But right now I just don't have the sense to care
No wrong or right
No rules
Not tonight
Just you and me til daylight
There's no rules
No such thing as wrong or right
Anything goes cause I'm lonely tonight

Justine Cole Poem
Time moves by but I'm standing still
Caught in the emotion
My heart and my mind are waging war
Being stuck at the bottom of the ocean
Do I try to survive or do I let myself die
My heart belongs to you
But you're ripping it apart
With every word you say of her
With every breath you take it's like knowing I'm just a mistake
I'm holding on the ship that sunk
Cause I don't want to love if you don't love me
I gave every inch of me to you
My mind tells me I should move on
I can't find the power to
My heart still has your name carved into it
It won't ever be healed by a first aid kit
I've become a porcelein doll
My perfectly happy appearance is fake
There's nothing left on the inside
Hit me too hard and I'll break
Just the plaything of the people
Just like a tool, played like a fool
My heart belongs to you
But you're ripping it apart
With every word you say of her
With every breath you take it's like knowing I'm just a mistake
I'm holding on the ship that sunk
Cause I don't want to love if you don't love me
Just a porcelain doll
Only used for a short amount of time
You'll get bored of me and get a Barbie
I wish you could just be mine
Guess I agree with the slogan of Ed Hardy
Let me go and I'll fall
Used like a tool, played like a fool
Love kills slowly
My heart belongs to you
But you're ripping it apart
With every word you say of her
With every breath you take it's like knowing I'm just a mistake
I'm holding on the ship that sunk
Cause I don't want to love if you don't love me
Time moves by but I'm standing still
Caught in the emotion
My heart and my mind are waging war
Being stuck at the bottom of the ocean
Do I try to survive or do I let myself die

Justine Cole Poem
Underneath the stars we forget who we are
We lie so deep in the rich grass that consumes us
Our bodies becoming one with nature's carpet
Watching the stars above
We are overcome with love
Distances between us
I on one patch of grass
You, distantly at another
Watching it in our separate places
It's how we stay close to each other
A full moon rises the water in our bodies
A tear couldn't possibly fall
In this moment I am one with nature
Yet forever I am one with you

Justine Cole Poem
I use to be the girl who put her career dreams before dreams of a man
Life's like an hourglass
And something changed in the sand
I just wish I knew if I'm wasting my time
Are the grains of sand slipping out of my hand
Or are you slowly approaching the title "mine"
Just being your friend is driving me crazy
Cause I'm too in love with you
I thank god you like me the way I am, I'm sure
Cause if you didn't I'd change everything for you
I know that's wrong but you're the only thing that feels right
I'd be so quick to blow off every other dream if I could be yours
Do you get what I mean
I've been holding this in since I was sixteen
Two years of living on edge, confused if I've made progress
Babe I know I wanna stand one day before you in a white dress
You're so sweet, so smart, I like everything you are
I can be myself with you, that's something I normally can't do
But please make a move
I'm losing too much of my mind
Scared to death I've wasted my time
Scared I'm too far into something for the first time
Please, please be mine
I know I shouldn't love anyone this much
But there's nothing like your touch
Or the way you console me when I cry
I feel nothing better than when I have you on my mind
And I hang on every word you say to me
I go back and forth in my mind
Extreme high when I think I'm moving forward
Lowest of the lows when I'm a negative
I wish I could say this to you
But I love you far too much
And this is the feeling people look for all their lives
All I need is you
You're the answer to everything I do
What else have I got to prove

Justine Cole Poem
It's over now
I've spent days wondering how it could have gone
I've spent nights crying out my heart
The love that almost was
You were a chilly breeze
My heart would shiver
We were over
I've had time to think that over
And I'm okay that's it over
You
You used me when I was giving my soul to you
I can't believe all I let you put me through
I use to mourn
And I've had time to think it over
Enough time to learn from a burn
A bleeding wound that's closed up
The mark's still there but the pain is gone
It's over now
It's over now
I think I've moved on from the black hole
I'm in a different place
New reason to smile now
I guess I'm okay
It's a brand new day
The dark of night is over
It's over now
It's over now
You
You used me when I was giving my soul to you
I can't believe all I let you put me through
I use to mourn
And I've had time to think it over
Enough time to learn from a burn
A bleeding wound that's closed up
The mark's still there but the pain is gone
It's over now
It's over now
I can't wait
I can't wait for the nights to be wild
The ones I wasted on you
It's my life
And it's without you
We're over
Whatever we were
We're over
It's over
I've had time to think it over
and I'm okay that it's over
