Would you still love me if I was a worm
No let me rephrase that
Would you still love me if I lost value
Would you still want me
If I broke all of the vows
Turned into something
you never agreed to be with
Became unable to be a wife
Would you still love me
If I couldn't be a wife, a mother
If I could never be a friend again
Would you still love me
Even as I grew unable to clean
Unable to cook
unable to walk on my own
Would you still love me
Would you still think of me The same
I guess honestly
Would you still love me if I was a worm

You love to write
He says in frustration
You do it so much
Just do it now
Like I want to spill my feelings
Like I want to let him in
Like you deserve to see
The words painted on my heart
But you don't
That's something you have to earn
And you truly haven't tried
Melanie Jackson Jul 2021
written in these walls
are the stories that i cant replace
hidden i these walls
that i wish in could remake
I promise every morning
I will smile like this again
But I've been so broken
I don't even know where to begin
Cause the pain they've caused
Is sewn into my heart

you took my sanity
yet im wrong
you took my innocence
yet im wrong
you took my happiness
yet im wrong
you took my soul
yet im wrong
you took my dreams
yet im wrong
Melanie Jackson Jan 2022
you are warm
not in heat
but in your presence
i feel the safety one can only feel
when they are curled up in a blanket
cuddled on a chair cushion
with a good book
and the words that pass your lips
dance on these pages
while a fire crackles in the distance
and i am cozzy in your warmth
Melanie Jackson Apr 2019
you don't know me
i am an ocean
deep, vast
mysterious
in a world of people
who think
im a puddle
like they can step on me
and not realize
im much deeper
than they think
they may know me
but you will never understand me
if you did you might drown
Melanie Jackson Jul 2021
You can not love me
Though you say you can
You say you can pick up the pieces
You say you can fix what's broken
But you don't realize some pieces
Have been broken for years
Some parts are lost
The most irreplaceable parts
Have been missing for so long
I'm not even sure I could be happy
If somebody was able to fill those holes
Because I've learned to live without it
I've learned to smile When I'm sad
And especially when I hurt the most
So no you can't love me
Though you say you can
Melanie Jackson Mar 2019
you read my lips not my mind
you know my name not my story
you see my smile not my pain
you see my cuts not my scares

so no you may think you do
but you don't know me
Melanie Jackson Jan 2020
you found me
in my darkest times
you held my hand
and walked me to the
L I G H T
in you i found two things
i had never seen in my life
in you i found
T R U S T
and one beautiful
F R I E N D S H I P
and for that i will always be
G R E A T F U L
i dedicate this poem to my closest and kindest friend Sylvester Michalis  check out his poems on here i'm sure he will comment
Melanie Jackson Apr 2022
you light me up
some may even say that your my sun
even when you feel burnt out you still shine
you always find a way to light up my life
and there's no one else
like you

you light me up
some may say your the lightning running across the sky
but i know you stay longer than a flash
i know you'll be here for me to split my clouds
but you linger longer than just a strike
you know when i need you
to hold me tight
and there's no one else
like you
Melanie Jackson Apr 2022
you make me smile
even though my body is betraying me
with the sounds of screams that arent real
and pain that isn't there

you make me smile
even though my body is betraying me
with memory i wish i didn't have
and flashes of color that arent there

thank you for making me smile
even when the tears stream down my face
because without you
i would have no one to give my love to
Melanie Jackson Feb 2020
i may be hurt
maybe even
B R O K E N
but tonight
i put my trust in
Y O U
my hands in yours
my heart on my
S L E E V E
tonight you and me
we are forever
Y O U N G
Melanie Jackson Dec 2021
i wasnt your first choice
hell i probably wasnt even your last
i never will be
even though your the one
who chose to have me
even if im not the boy you wanted
or the smart you thought i could be
you gave birth to me
i will always be your baby
Melanie Jackson Jun 2020
your cologne
stained my memories
the sent was strong
and when i miss you most
i think of the musty  sent of your
C O L O G N E
Melanie Jackson Oct 2020
from walking and talking slow
to running fast and holding hands with you
from nervous eye contact
to staring straight at your eyes
and now we sleep with each other in our heads
holding on to pillows like we need someone there
thought it was crazy delusion in my head
thought you could never love me
but now im letting go
to everything that used to worry me
because in your eyes i find the ground
were i had only seen clouds
Melanie Jackson Feb 2021
Just like a fire
I will light your world
When darkness pulls you under
And sadness holds you
And you grow cold
I will be your fire
Warming you
Holding you tighter then any sadness could ever
And i will be your light
Like a sun
Burning the night sky away
I will be there
When no one else wants to
When pain and brokenness
Leaves its call in your mind
I will leave my call
Screaming louder then the pain could ever
Melanie Jackson Oct 2020
i wish it didnt hurt
i wish he hadn't broken me
i wish i could be perfect for you
ut even though i am not
you have taught me to be proud
to look in the mirror
and see the beauty within the shards
i didnt think it was possible
but in your eyes
i have found a mirror
that tells of unknown truths
Melanie Jackson Mar 2020
does not hold you
it has no
P O W E R
over you
over the body
that will always be
Y O U R S
no matter who or what
tries to take that from
Y O U
Melanie Jackson Apr 2022
i love you like waves love the sand
because loving you is so much like being a grain of sand
and getting pulled in by the waves
like how you
pull me close and
draw me in
with your many wonders
so undiscovered so new
each time i discover more
i fall even harder
deeper into your depths
like the darkest parts of the ocean
never finding the bottom
but always finding more beauteous wonders
from the way your able to light the darkest places
like the jellyfish that shine in the midnight
you have my heart now
like the ocean has each of its creature
i need you
like each creature needs the oceans protection
i give you my heart forevermore
because i am constantly drowning in your waters
a grain of sand floating in your vastness
Melanie Jackson Feb 2022
i am broken
i am shattered into a thousand pieces
i am nothing but shards
and yet i lay every **** piece
down at your feet
they've always been yours
and they will always be
take the ones you want leave what you don't
rebuild me into what you need
and i will make you smile
every single day
Melanie Jackson Oct 2020
i wanna see the sunrise
i wanna climb the tallest peak
as long as its with
Y O U
i wanna see the sunset
i wanna watch the water ripple
i wanna find were the horizon ends
as long as you do
T O O
i wanna see the stars shine
i wanna lay in the soft grass
i wanna find out the truth
but only if im close to
Y O U
i wanna watch the cosmos
i wanna see the world
i wanna watch as we grow old
i want me and you close
but only if you do
TOO
Melanie Jackson Jan 2021
your saying that you wont give up on me
you say that like its so **** easy
you see through my best disguise
nock my walls down
and promise im safe
and i believe you
i believe you
you know how to make it okay
and i cant help falling in love
cant help letting you into my heart
and into my mind
into my soul
like your part of my design
and you say a promise
sweetly whispered for only me to hear
you say you wont give up on me
Melanie Jackson Dec 2021
zoom in on you screaming
your hands beating
purple bruises on the surface
zoom out on me

zoom in to catastrophe
your arms choking
stealing cold breaths from soft lips
zoom out on me

zoom in on your apology
words flowing off your lips
thoughts that maybe you truly are sorry
zoom out on me

zoom in on your voice
whispering how much love
you had welling up on the surface
zoom out on me

zoom in on you screaming
bruises once again
growing purple
zoom out on me finally leaving

— The End —
