Jessica Perlen Poem
How could you expect me to be near you
and not to fall hopelessly and helplessly in love with you?
To not want to, no, need to take you in my arms and just hold you
and be the one to tell you everything will be alright?
To kiss away you problems and your tears?
I can’t sleep when I think about you,
I can’t breathe when I’m close to you,
when your fingers accidentally brush mine
when you pass me a pen or a book.
I can’t think when I hear your voice,
it’s like a melody that puts me into a deep trance
and I can’t shake it off until you stop talking,
and then everything seems cold and lonely without your words.
I don’t care if you hit me,
scream at me,
tell me that you hate me,
that you want to see me being broken over and over again…
I DON’T CARE!
I can’t stop loving you!
There are two things in this life that you have no control over.
When our time on earth is up
and who we fall in love with.
I don’t care when I die,
as long as I love you
nothing else matters!
Can’t you understand that?

Jessica Perlen Poem
Make me feel extraordinary once again
Please don’t notice the scars upon my soul
The light is slowly dimming from my mind
The angels have long stopped their redeeming call
But I am colour blind to your pain
I couldn’t see all of the blood upon the floor
This feeling inside is so out of control
I can no longer see what exists behind this hidden door
But I didn’t come this far to drown
To fall, to stumble, to break down
This is my muted song
This is my wordless scream
Let me fall and bump my head
Wake my up from this living dream
My mind is fast outrunning me,
I think I’ll miss it most of all,
Spin me around one more time
Stop me before I start to fall.
My heart cannot sing for you no more
The rip goes deeper than you know
I have to pretend that it doesn’t hurt
The words, the smile, are part of the show
The clothes on the floor don’t belong to me anymore
I outgrew them long ago like I out grew you long before
But I’m still trying to make you see through this mess
That looks go far beneath the surface
But I didn’t come this far to drown
To fall, to stumble, to break down
This is my muted song
This is my wordless scream
Let me fall and bump my head
Wake my up from this living dream
My mind is fast outrunning me,
I think I’ll miss is most of all,
Spin me around one more time
Stop me before I start to fall.
