Jessica Pennington Poem
I asked what separated us, in this friendship lost
differences could never change what we found in common
distance was never far enough to keep us apart
and life, in all its absurdities could never distract us from our love
Yet we find ourselves here
parting ways without even a tear
what did it take, where did it finally break
it only took time
What about the long trudge through life
through the cold and so cruel
just to get a dream
I had once been so confident I would achieve
I had the determination to climb every mountain
the strength to face every challenge
and the belief to comfort me
even in my darkest dreams
so where did I sway
what took my passion away
it only took time
time to drift away
time to forget to pray
time to let my hopes
dissolve in the pain
it only took time
Then just as I lose my faith
right before it all slips away
I find something has changed
life becomes everything
I had worked so hard to create
but after everything
what did it take
how did I make it
it only took time
after this life time
through so many changes
through heartaches and vow breaks
in our different lives and point of views
how is it I found you again
our love can it mend
yes I think in time
it only takes time

Jessica Pennington Poem
I walk away
when times begin too weigh
heavily upon my shoulders
I turn a cold eye
even when those I love cry
and pretend the guilt that follows me
is nothing more than a dream
If God would curse me
and the devil welcome me
then I'll bear the consequence
of cowardice that plague my every day
But I'll still always walk away
My soul wears away
every time you ask me to stay
peace was all I asked for
but pain was all that came
its no trouble for me
to just walk away

Jessica Pennington Poem
Blindness can be a blessing
the world focused in so many different perceptions
what a horror that I can see
what you must truly be
To me you were a treasure
whose love only I could feel
But love looks different under a haze
and as that fog begins to lift
the touch from you
that use to thrill me
has simply dimmed
now that I can see you clearly
I use hear the sweet tone
hidden so deep in your voice
I wondered if the world was deaf
to the perfection that was you
but that beauty starts to fade
that deeper sense in me has gone away
The smell was pure instinct
there was nothing about you
I didn't want to taste
that desire has dimmed away
as my sight takes its place
To be blind, what a way to see
you use to sweep me of my feet
and as much as I want to need
have that perception though it limits me
now I can see and I don't need
not you, anymore
