"more than words could say"
"what is there left to say"
by Janie Ussery
Blank paper
no words.
speechlessness
thoughts unheard.
see you thinking
hear me sigh.
reach the lowest low.
while I am oh so high.
You can’t reach me anymore
Stop trying to help me breathe.
I’m so speechless when your around.
from all the anger built up in me.
I’m ashamed to say I had you once.
never again will I call you mine.
I’m so much better off this way.
In your lowest low when I’m so high.
”You’re over yourself”
by Janie Ussery
It seems we have a problem
is there something you wanted to say?
I don’t think I heard you right.
next time say it to my face.
Or are you so screwed up in your own thoughtless mind,
that you think you need to get me down?
Because I hope you know im not afraid.
You cry me a river.
I’ll be laughing till you drown.
Call me what you want.
hope it makes you feel so much better.
you brag about your “confidence”
but dare to make these stupid gestures.
Stop pretending to be so nice.
you know I’d take you down.
and by the way he don’t really care.
so drop it bitch and step down.
”Goodbye love”
by Janie Ussery
(based on the Novel; ‘The Awakening’)
Goodbye
because I love you.
because I cant look at you and smile.
anymore.
Goodbye
because ill miss you.
because when I see you all I want
to do is
kiss you.
Goodbye
because I want you
but you can no longer be with me
or
want me too.
Goodbye
because I care.
Because everytime I look at him,
I’m wishing
you were there.
So, my love, so long.
so, goodbye.
I love you.
and I’m leaving you.
Because,
I love him too.
”Ode to lost friendship”
by Janie Ussery
I know your thinking of me
I’m thinking of you too.
I know you want to call
after the mess we cant undo.
the things we cant unsay.
and I miss your love for me too.
a didn’t hear a good bye.
but sadly this came to.
becoming what it has
is not what I expected.
They say ‘love comes blind and undirected’
so many moments.
singing, dancing, laughing, playing.
sharing our hopes and dreams.
’Love is all we need my friend’
forgive me, please.
this is my Ode to you.
my long lost companion.

Staring.
Staring at the clock.
Watching.
Watching as time mocks.
(Tick Tock.)
Turn the key.
Hear the lock.
the keyhole inflates.
begins to pop.
the door swings wide.
look into the room.
its all a game.
Even time itself.
Is screaming my name
Staring, pondering…
Wandering, wondering...
When the echoes will stop.
all is naught.
Life’s gone awry.
the past is a lie.
I’ve gone mad inside.
then I look in your eyes.
and all seems right.
I feel fine.
I’ve crossed the line.
I look back at the clock.
Time finally stopped.
”Free verse in a free write”
by Janie Ussery
I have nothing to say
not poetic today.
perhaps ill drift away.
oh so merry and gay.
far far away…
Merrily, Merrily.
tick tock tick tock.
watching, gazing at the clock.
staring, hoping time will stop.
tick tock tick tock.
staring waiting.
watching as I ponder.
wondering while I wander.
and wandering whilst I wonder.
waiting for time to tick on by.
tick tock tick tock.
because when time stops.
pain is no more.
life is no longer a bore.
no burdens nor chores.
nothing to say.
not poetic today.
waiting for time to drift a-gay.
tick tock tick tock.
stop.
”Story of my Life?”
by Janie Ussery
I’m going to write a book.
The story of my life.
the next chapter has already begun.
maybe I’ll get my happy ending after all.
although I was falling apart
so unstable and insecure.
you came.
and I’m happy again.
Happy that you picked me up off my feet.
Now that I have found a secure place to rest my head.
I’m in the clouds.
Lofty dreamer in a deep and endless sleep.
rest your head on my shoulder.
and you will never have another nightmare.
I’ll be your dream catcher.
come let me tell you a story.
It’s the story of my life.
as my world falls, another one rises.
as the pages of my book turn, a new chapter begins.
Now when you fall I’ll catch you.
the way you caught me.
everything is okay again.
be my dream catcher.
story of my life.
”Beauty in the eye of the beholder”
by Janie Ussery
Thinking of you.
Knowing you’re thinking of me.
Things are perfect where you are.
and will get better, soon you’ll see.
I’m so glad I took a risk.
and told you how I felt.
Its not really how you play your game.
Its how you use the cards your dealt.
my cards keep getting better.
a royal flush my darling.
I cant wait to see you again.
to see what this is we have starting.
its always like your so far away.
and yet so close to me.
things are perfect where you are.
So my love, just thought I’d let you know,
that you are perfect for me.
Stay Beautiful.
”Reminiscing thoughts and Redundancy”
by Janie Ussery
I’m writing a book.
all about me.
the story of my life.
and every page is you and me.
I see you reading carefully.
every detail is so bland.
I want to see your mind wander.
and know it makes you glad.
The next chapter has begun my dear.
and soon you will see.
I looked at you and back to the clock.
you stood time still for me.
I’m in a wonderland of bliss.
you are everything I need.
you speak with such a way.
it draws me near and I take heed.
I reminisce on your thoughts.
I drink them in like wine.
so happily merrily.
I love you.
everyday will I be by your side.
Dream catcher, let me sleep.
in my Wonderland of bliss.
Reminiscing through my thoughts.
of you nothing could surpass this.
