1,000 Tears

A Boy With Roses

Our dreams carried us through suicidal years of hardship                                                      

Young love holding my hand                                                                                                

My father told me if I want to grow into a man                                                                    

I'd have to fend for myself                                                                                                    

But the snow falls, and I'm a child again 

 

In your arms                                                                                                                                  

I see sunsets, I see clouds, I see waves                                                                                    

In your arms                                                                                                              

I'm an angel, and your love makes me feel safe 

 

You kiss me and read my lips                                                                                                  

And your touch is soft, caressing my skin                                                                                

You hear my night time dreaming and treat me like a rose                                                                

In a room full of tears, when I feel for my sisters                                                                

The times we lost and prayed for happy days                                                                          

I close doors and I pretend nothing is going wrong                                                            

But I can feel this remorse, how I hate you like punctuation                                                                                                

You make rules and I don't obey                                                                                                      

I slip through your walls and give flowers to those I love                                                                          

The people I've lost in dreams of freedom                                                                          

Sometimes I can't even hear myself think, and I know                                                                      

Fear is the biggest prison, life is the biggest scam                                                                    

We live in it and get more afraid                                                                                          

But we wait for the sun each day just to feel something                                                        

And when the sky gets dark we cry 1,000 tears                                                                      

In this requisite ceremony of sadness.

    So much pain in this Jordan … but beautifully expressed . I’m sorry if your feeling sad (

    Fear makes life feel so difficult

      Thanks! I just poured a drink and smoked a cigarette and listened to Madonna and Terrible Angels by Cocorosie, and this flowed naturally. It's kind of sad we're connected by trauma, almost as if happiness is the deepest part of a gold mine. Almost as if we're lucky just to feel an ounce of happiness. Just read some of your newest poems, I truly think you're a brilliant writer.

        We all need someone to connect to … in life . It’s sad how so many have to even go through trauma in the first place .. it’s not fair at all.

        Thankyou 🙂 kind of you to say
