Jessica D'agostino Poem
I cannot believe I can see
my own breath.
To amuse myself, I try
making shapes;
it doesn't work.
I see how fogged up
the glass on the door is.
I consider drawing on it,
and realize my fingers
will stick.
I wait about fifteen minutes.
This time, I consider writing
backwards "I am trapped. Let me out!"
Even if I lose a bit of skin,
someone might see it.
By this time, it's a half hour.
I take out a cigarette, but
my lighter won't ignite.
I shake it upside down,
hold it in my hands, and
it lights.
Ah. At least one thing to
calm my nerves.
How did I even end up in here,
I wonder.
Then, I remember.
I suppose my brain was
going a bit numb, for me
to forget.
It's only been thirty minutes.
The dim-witted Mr. Cross,
locked me in here while I
was unloading boxes.
He found it amusing;
since I put hot pepper on
his sandwich once,
not knowing he was allergic.
I guess this was his revenge.
Does he realize though, that
I could freeze to death, in here?
Does anyone realize that I am not
at my station?
I scream, but no one hears me.
I pound on the door, the walls.
My hands start to hurt.
I think I may have split a
knuckle opened.
I see blood, but it is not dripping.
I dip my hand in a bag of ice,
near the corner, on the right side.
I start feeling it go numb,
and I pull it out to finish my
thought about writing on that door.
I walk over to it, and I feel goose bumps.
Unfortunately, I didn't grab my sweat shirt,
before I came in here.
Feeling like my arms are going to
fall off, I go to write on the door.
As soon as I start, I hear a voice.
"Is someone in there?"
I yell, "Yes".
The door opens, it's the janitor.
He asks what happened, while
handing me his sweater.
Then after I finish, he smiles.
I ask him if he found this amusing.
His response was a simple,
"Yes. The door doesn't lock from the inside".

Jessica D'agostino Poem
Stay, if only for the night
and hear the rain fall, gently.
I shiver, when you hold me tight.
Your smile is so friendly.
I feel the warmth overcome my body.
That heat, with so much passion.
I wish to have you hold me longer,
and fill my satisfaction.
That empty void I've felt, many times
has drifted, with you near.
My hot breath upon your neck;
sweet nothings, in your ear.
But if this is only for one night,
I'll treasure every moment.
If you choose to stay, for more than
one day,
all I ask is for you to hold me.

Jessica D'agostino Poem
Feel my heart beating within your soul.
Forever my love shall be the love you hold.
Hear my heart beating underneath your breath.
I tried to keep your love at length.
That is why I wept.
I cannot express the way I feel.
So I try to write in verse.
I'd wrap my arms around this earth and embrace the universe.
Your love is what I've always needed.
Please stay right by my side.
You've given me back my will to feel.
You've given me back my pride.
You help me show my true colors.
Outside, as well as in.
And for this love I've come to have hoped for;
A new life shall begin.

Jessica D'agostino Poem
Although I feel my heart is breaking,
I shall remain strong.
I never saw this coming to me;
I've loved you all along.
You think that you're not right for me,
but sadly, you're mistaken.
I'll take you as you are, right now.
With love, I'll never fake it.
Emotions get the best of us,
and sometimes we don't think.
All I know is how I feel,
and when I touch you, I get weak.
Don't throw away this love we have.
Don't make a huge mistake.
You know you love me, you tell me daily.
I'll give; You just need to take.
The only thing I can offer you,
is my honest and truest soul.
Without you, I don't know right now..
But with you, I am whole.
I shall not let you go that easily.......

Jessica D'agostino Poem
The cold wind blows
in the frigid north.
Snow has fallen..
No sign of spring.
Dreams of sunshine
and fresh, warm air
captivate my mind,
my entire being.
Birds fly ramped
no shelter from the chill.
I feel their pain,
though there's not much I can do.
Another thought enters
this very open mind.
The meeting of a loved one,
which may take some time.
Though I am willing to wait,
sometimes my thoughts race.
I still dream of spring
and a very friendly face.
I look forward to the season
where warmth arrives.
Along with my dreams;
reality will be mine.

Jessica D'agostino Poem
You hold my desire,
set my soul on fire.
My mind is inspired,
your touch sends me higher.
To another place.
To another time.
And I lose all control,
thinking about you.
How I long for you to
hold me.
Those many times you've
told me.
Your kisses are like sugar.
Don't ever let go of me.
I wish for the time,
when forever, you're mine.
And our temptation is
refined.
Kiss me, once again,
and tell me your secrets.
Whisper in my ear,
how you long for me.
As I lose all control,
low and behold.
I'm back in your arms,
where I belong.

Jessica D'agostino Poem
I want to explore
all the things I've ignored.
All the lessons I've learned,
though I could learn a
few more.
I'm learning about love
and what it truly is.
The passion you feel,
when you touch your
beloved's lips.
When you're with them, life
doesn't seem so bad.
Life starts to look
brighter.
As you can see,
I'm still learning.
And I'm leaning towards a
higher education.
Buckle your seat belt.
I want to enjoy this.
I want to learn from only
you.
So hold on.

Jessica D'agostino Poem
I watch you lean against the wall,
and I know what you're thinking.
You know I'm watching you, and
you keep your back to me.
One week home, I can understand
you wanting to hide yourself from
me.
Thinking back, you thought your
tattoo would eventually cover your
scar, but it didn't.
And I know you're afraid.
Afraid of what I might say.
I wish you would turn around,
so I could look at you.
You don't have to show me
your bruises; I still love you.
I just want you to hear what
I have to say, to you.
Take a look in the mirror.
You're still the same woman,
that I always loved, years ago.
You're still you, even if you don't
think you are.
You're absolutely beautiful.
Just take a glance and you'll see.
It is just a scar.
And the most beautiful part
about all of this, is that you're
still here to view this vision.

Jessica D'agostino Poem
If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be stronger.
I wouldn't have my guard up..
I would have grew fonder.
Thank you for taking that away from me.
And letting my eyes see what I refused to believe.
You left yourself open, for me to let go.
You weren't strong enough...
But my heart was, though.
If I was utterly mistaken, for what I have said.
You would have contacted me..
But you let me go, instead.
If it weren't for you, I would still be holding on.
To something that wasn't even there anymore.
Something that, for months, was gone.
You've made it quite impossible to ever trust again.
In time, I may find the right person, out there.
But then again, no one understands.
No one's ever loved me, for me.
I thought you were the only one.
You told me never to worry about things.
And I was right, all along.
I was always told to go with my gut feelings.
I never did listen to myself.
I refused to believe you were like everyone else.
And I hung my heart high on your shelf.
I loved you and I would have stood by you
no matter what the outcome would have been.
But again, you lied and you tore me up.
I'm looking out for me now...This was then.............

Jessica D'agostino Poem
I see you, looking at me, and I wonder,
what are you thinking about?
Your eyes are focused on mine,
although I can sense that you're
someplace else.
Where are you right now, I think
to myself.
Are you with me, or are you
focused on something else?
Sometimes I'm sure, that's how
you feel about me.
As if I'm physically there, but
mentally and emotionally, I'm
in another world.
Another time, maybe even another
place, and it bothers me;
as I'm sure it bothers you.
I know that I can get repetitious
on occasion and I apologize
for that part of me, that I
sometimes cannot control.
Deep down though, I'm really
thinking about you, trying to look
into your eyes, seeing into your
soul.
No matter where my mind is,
my heart is with you constantly.
No matter where I physically am,
my thoughts are with you.
I do still wonder sometimes,
what you're thinking, because
you do not always tell me;
and rightfully so.
You shouldn't have to.
If you're upset about something,
though, I should be the one you
come to.
For I am always going to be here.
I am always going to be with you.
I am always going to love you,
even if you feel my mind is
elsewhere.
It just means I have a lot to
think about.
Doing things on your own,
is not easy.
Making plans to start your
life, is not simple.
And it doesn't happen
right away.
In order for that to occur,
you have to make it happen.
And Lord knows...
I'm doing my best.
I know I can be annoying,
bothersome and even sometimes
downright in a bad mood, but;
so can you.
And I deal with it.
I deal with it, because of
love.
Because of us.
Because it's going to
be you and me, for as
long as you want me.
When all else fails,
just remember that I
love you, and will
never stop loving you.
More than you probably
realize.
We will make this work.
We balance each other out.
We compliment each other.
We just;
fit together.
