Jayda Javier Poem
Please, piano boy, get out of my head
It's not that I don't want you there; it's just not worth the bloodshed
Because you deserve it all, and all I am is not enough
So I'm bleeding, trying to forget you instead
So please, piano boy, get out of my head
Please, piano boy, don't play that piano piece
It blurs my mind, seeps into my veins, each time you touch the keys
You see the world like I do; I can tell by how you play
The music finds its cadence, but my soul still craves release
So please, piano boy, don't play that piano piece
I could lie and say the music doesn't lead me back to you
That I never catch your name on my tongue out of the blue
That I can still live my life
And I promise you, I've tried
How hard can it be to make myself believe that's true?
Yet I can't even listen to Chopin anymore
Because every piece makes me think of you
And when I said I'd never been in love before
You entered my life right on cue
And in the silence, I still hear the melodies you've made
Lingering in the air, so sweet and clear
So, every time I think, my thoughts of you begin to fade
I try to forget, but they're all I can hear
In between the notes, you're all I can find
Now, I can't hear Chopin without you on my mind
Somehow, you find a way to come across in every etude
Stormy passion finds its way through
The same storm found in your gaze
And in each nocturne's theme, like in a sweet and tender dream
I find your smile in the scene
Floating amidst each phrase
Now, I can't help but listen to Chopin even more
To remind me of the moments I've spent with you
Now I can say I've finally been in love before
It's more beautiful and sweet than I ever knew
And in the silence, I can hear the melodies you've played
Like gentle raindrops falling on my ear
And I do all I can to make sure they never fade
Because, above all else, I long to keep you near
In between the notes, you were all I found
Now I listen to Chopin just to keep you around
Because I find you inside every sound
Please, piano boy, let me keep what I've found

Jayda Javier Poem
I've always thought love was made for fools
Who dance on clouds and wish on pennies in pools
And I'm determined that foolish is something l won’t be
So I’ve kept my heart under lock and key
Love is at first sight, and yet its blind
It's with all of your heart and it's out of your mind
And it never made sense to me, so I laid down the law
Said that love is just not for me, and called it a draw
It's easier to cope if my heart's made of stone
It's less pain tomorrow if tonight I’m alone
And I scoffed at the fools with their empty hopes
Displaying their wishes by hanging them on ropes
Dreams were a risk I couldn’t afford to take
So while the fools slept, I forced myself to stay awake
Because I knew that eventually, those ropes would fray
If you build too tall a tower, at some point, it will sway
And a building that stood for many a year
Can be standing one moment, then the next, disappear
So I stuck with my piano, which hasn't let me down yet
I can play beautiful solos, so who needs a duet?
And I stayed away from love, I obeyed my one rule
Cause if I keep my heart safe, I will never be a fool

Jayda Javier Poem
We built off of an empty hope
That’s now dead and decayed
We hung our wants and dreams on rope
And since then, it has frayed
We painted our story on the walls
Which have begun to fade
If we hadn’t built our love so tall
Maybe we wouldn’t have swayed
If we hadn’t built a love at all
Maybe we would’ve stayed
They say that life’s a vapor
Death hides behind its veil
We chose to build a skyscraper
Believing love could never fail
But our foundation was too weak
And the storm, it was too strong
We ignored each shift and creak
Denied that anything was wrong
Then everything we worked so hard to gain
Came crumbling, crashing to the ground
Our laughter, joy, and pain-
Now dust is all that’s found
And we’re picking up every scrap and shard
Of something that wasn’t built to last
Two hearts that have now been marred
Two broken people with a broken past
So our love was like life’s vapor
It’s like the people say
You make it in the newspaper
And are forgotten the next day
You build a skyscraper
Thinking it will always stay
You build a skyscraper
And one day, it starts to sway

Jayda Javier Poem
I wander the streets that my feet know you've roamed
Back when you were still here and this city still felt like home
I search for your shadow - love, where did you go?
Without you, I'm nothing, so I turn to what I know
Which is broken keys, broken melodies
A broken song for a broken me
I'm tongue-tied, can't you tell in every refrain?
The right words have left me, but the music remains
So I sing the words that I can never say
Watching as your memory fades more each day
I reach for you, but you slip away
And silence stands where you once would stay
I scream the thoughts that I can't release
An inward war that refuses to cease
In younger days, I was still in one piece
Now I'm picking up what remains of me
'Cause you're gone, and my heart's begun to fray
All I can do is sing the words that I can't say

Jayda Javier Poem
But then he came along, so I suppose he's to blame
For breaking my laws just by speaking my name
He may not know it, but he’s found his way into my heart
He took all my walls and tore them all apart
And he filled my world with his vibrant melodies
That lingered long after his fingers had left the keys
And his passion is found in his stormy eyes
Until his smile turns the storm into bright peaceful skies
And the music, it's like it's a part of his being
As important as breathing, or walking, or seeing
And it’s cliche, I know, this poem I’ve written
But I’m just so ecstatic to finally be smitten
Maybe someday I’ll tell him, or maybe never at all
But it’s lovely, just lovely, to feel yourself fall
He gave me new life by breaking my one rule
Cause he played Chopin for me, and now I’m a fool
