Jamie Haddox Poem
I feel like I’ve been lying,
I’ve been lying and pretending.
But I’ll go on denying,
The signals that I’ve been sending.
I’d like them to believe me,
I’d like to believe myself.
But I know that I’m deceiving,
You and everyone else.
Though they’re only thoughts,
Thoughts turn into actions.
Truth and lies have fought,
And truth turns into fractions.
Maybe I wasn’t meant to be,
The person I’ve tried to become.
Or maybe I was sent to see,
That someone would do you wrong.
I get so tired of the bad guy role,
And I try so hard to be good.
I pretend to feel bad for the hearts I stole,
But I don’t even know if I could.
All of this could be undeniably true,
Or it could just be how I feel.
But when I lay my eyes on you,
I don’t want any of this to be real.
I want to be the person you love,
And the person who loves you back.
The person that you would never shove,
But I fear all the things that I lack.
It could be correct to say,
That there is no goodness in me at all.
This bad person is who I play,
And another role will never call.

Jamie Haddox Poem
Looking at you
Looking at me
Shift my eyes
To see jealousy
Smiling at you
Smiling at me
Laughter fades
His eyes are on me
Touching you
Touching me
Catch my hand
But he doesn’t see
Embracing you
Embracing me
Letting go
He waits patiently
Leaving you
Leaving me
Say good-bye
Just wait and see
Telling on you
Telling on me
Soon he’ll know
And we can be free
I’d give anything to keep you

Jamie Haddox Poem
This music,
Rock n Roll,
has sputtered to a stall.
Left my heart,
Raped and bald.
The life
it gave me,
Now taken away,
Found unworthy,
Found wanting,
Found grey.
This music
Once saved me,
It held me,
but then shaved me.
I lived by it,
Died by it,
Stood by it,
and cried by it.
And in one simple act,
Of reaching to grab it,
It turned on me.
Left me hanging,
Let me fall,
Forced to crawl.
So now,
I must go,
Back to the beginning,
remember my hardships,
And what I learned from them.
Rock n Roll,
Won’t let me in
Because I believe
I have no soul.
And I believe,
That love is fleeting,
Petty and false.
And with those convictions,
I can no longer
Feel the music.
I want it back.
I want to feel it.
I want it to save me again.
