Jenna Leigh Poem
It’s so late that
I can see the daybreak peeking through the blinds
And I’m awake and I don’t know why
I’m feeling worried
I’ve seen how much you love me
& I can see you’re doing your best to hide it
I can feel how bad you want to forget my existence
& I’m sorry
But I know you, and I know you’ll be alright
But right now it’s sunrise
And I’m awake and I don’t know why
I feel so sad
I miss your arms around me
And I miss the security, and I miss your love
& I know this might hurt so bad that you’ll stop
And I know you won’t forget about me, but some day you will stop
And that makes me so sad, and I’m so sorry
The sun’s getting brighter and I’m still writing and I don’t know why
I’m just feeling a little worthless
You’re doubting how much I love you
And I can’t let myself come back, so I can’t tell you
That I love you
Because it will hurt you
So I’m writing it down, because I have to
I know I’ll never forget you but someday I will stop
& I’m sorry but I’ve been up all night
I haven’t slept and I don’t know why
I’m feeling so anxious
I know there’s so much I want to do with my life
So much I’ve felt I had to keep inside
& I’m ready to live my life right
I’m ready to love myself without another
I know sometimes I’ll miss you and sometimes I’ll wonder
But my heart doesn’t tell me we’re right for each other
And I think it’s right, and I’m sorry
Please don’t hate me, I’m sorry

Jenna Leigh Poem
I swear all I do is try
Try to love you so hard
If I ever push you away
Put aside your ego and love me
So hard
Come on, just hold me down
& Kiss me so hard
Tell me all you ever want to do
Is love me so hard
& then love me until I can’t take it anymore
Oh but I’ll always take more
I’ll never push you away
When you’re loving me so hard
If slamming me against the wall is what it takes
Than slam me so hard
Tell me you’ll never love another
Scream at me that I’m unlike any other
I want to see the flames in your eyes
When you stop me from ever saying goodbye
& then kiss me so hard
And I’ll never leave
As long as you’re loving me
So hard

Jenna Leigh Poem
There’s something about these train rides
Watching life pass me by
Once again, leaving everything I need behind
The speaker overhead rattles
“Next stop Seattle, heading west”
Holding back tears, I’m doing my best
But a few always seem to get away
I look out the window to see what life has in store today
First glance is a burnt down barn
And a tree full of color
To my left I see a little boy leaning on his mother
That barn was once so alive and that tree was so green
And now I have my lover for the times I need to lean
An old couple holding hands
Might be the best sight I’ve seen
I sometimes forget how to look at the beauty in things
But these lonely train rides help me remember
It may be a sad day today, but life won’t stop happening

Jenna Leigh Poem
Do you know what it means to be lonely?
is it me without you here?
is it how you feel without me there?
I'm here but I can't find you
are you lost out there in a memory
Hiding from all we could be
All we would be
all we should be
Or am I lost here in my worries
because baby I'm so lonely
and all I want is to be sure of me
sure of you, sure of us
sure of your happiness
I don't want you to ever know lonely

Jenna Leigh Poem
I don’t miss you yet
So why can’t I forget?
Everything about you
Everything I thought I knew
You made your mark and it’s not going anywhere
You took a piece of me & it’s just not fair
You don’t deserve it, I want it back
I want everything you took from me, everything you lacked
Your faults in exchange for my goods, and in reverse,
we fit together so perfectly
But you never deserved me
This can’t be reality
it has to be, just one long dream
I thought I knew you so well but you’re nothing like you seem
I don’t miss you yet
But it’s not because you weren’t everything to me
That look of everlasting love in your eyes, I’ll never forget
I don’t miss you because I can’t figure out who you are
Who you ever were, I don’t miss you because it hurts too bad
I’ll cry for everything we never had
But never for you

Jenna Leigh Poem
He’s your shadow telling you to act like you don’t care
Telling you to smile through the tears
Telling you to hide your biggest fears
His name is ego
he entered your mind a while ago
He taught you how to fake high
when you felt your first low
Taught you to hide your weaknesses
To say yes when you wanted to say no
He’s in your brain, parallel to your heart
Forcing you to use him when you’re falling apart
