What we could have had

If you only knew, that I, ‘Oh of course, you heard it over the news, though I would have preferred it personal heard a lil’ bird beat me to it, so you overheard.
I was over my head; I was over the hurt, when you appeared, Unannounced, without a heart’s pound, without a sound…
Why did you come around when you knew I was about to ask you out? I had said it out loud, that I needed you around, so you must have found out. It was never supposed to come out, but knowing your crowd they must’ve announced.
But on my account, I would’ve loved you hadn’t you found out, that I was in love (with another heart) . It would’ve been nice…
You know I thought twice whilst listening to advice from a guy less wise, so I anticipated my lies to be true for you.’ Cause when I think, I Only Love You.

Hidden Stains

 Interactive thoughts, mindless battles we fought, a kinder love we sought.
 Wars we fought, promises we never sworn, a kinder love-now gone.
 Secrets we compress, lies we express, a darker love we try to impress.
 Showers of rain, a much more confident pain, an eternal stain…
The things we face or come across everyday determine our future or decisions we make. Our lives are always at stake. Consequence feeds of the mistakes we make…
So let’s unite against mistakes, integrate our thoughts for a good cause.
Because lest we, we’ll find ourselves in debates of useless points, individuals making the wrong noise. Degrading the use of their voice.
But hey! It’ll be their choice, their point, their voice, their thoughts they are putting across… So Yeah. I mo leave it at that.

Missing You Love

Missing you is not easy, predictable the least. My mind tries to move on but my heart is in denial oblivious I can’t trust it anymore.

Missing you clouds my judgments of love, how can I move on when I simply can’t ignore-ignore You & I, can I see you one last time, maybe just maybe my world can heal, simply basically be at ease.

Missing you ain’t easy, I can barely sleep continuously unable to eat, and even dream, our love a day miskien a fantasy of iets.

Missing has ruined me, made me miss & disbelieve in love, I cannot even try to continue with moving on so please came back home.

Missing you has become my life, still trying in my mind to picture you as my wife, how can I live my life with you nowhere inside, I am dying inside, I still miss you by my side, but regardless I will love you for the rest of my life.

Sunday

She’s a sweet girl as innocent as a newborn infant. She’s as beautiful as the first day of spring. Her smile brightens even the darkest of hours, her smile like a blossoming flower.
The scent of her hair wanders in the air, while flashbacks of recent kisses haunt me continuously.
How can I hurt such a woman? What kind of a man would that make me, a coward? Hiding behind a slightly bruised shell. HEY, but what the hell if I can’t offer her the kind of love she needs.
I planted a seed in good soil, but I doubt it’ll see its birth here on earth. I am a murderer of innocent lives, so you see I can’t make her my wife.
She’s a sweet girl as innocent as a new born infant. In fact her soul would be sold for less than it is worth. And for what it’s worth, I realize it isn’t fair, but in spite of everything I do care…

My blood rushes

My blood rushes extremely quick as you swift make your way across the room. I try to zoom to get a clear view, Ooh my, my temperature increases I’m going from coldest to heated it’s too soon.
I blush at your gaze as you make your way near; circumstance is clear still you make your way here.
I could already see that you’re the type that makes nigger weak, sleepless nights all the way through the week, geez…
Hence I come in peace let’s first kick it in my sleep-dreams, exclude this love\thing as another fling. Let’s make magic let the Angels sing, let them lend us their wings so we can make… Yeah
Give affection a new attraction, retrench cupid and let Mother Nature give us her blessing.
And then book the best suite as Cloud 9, make love and watch the sunrise, and as you smile whether I cry I know we’ll be alright…

Enstranged Changes

 Estranged changes, Monumental experiences, The conquering of love is the instrument of understanding life.
 My words cannot change the world’s current state. We inhale poisonous thoughts, exhale hope, and halt because, we want more than what is given.
 Have you thought of how things are different yet similar, your touch familiar with continuous white lies, what’s mine not yours and sometimes yours what is not mine.
 You see my mind is engraved in the past, never to come alight or at my sight, cause the world’s current state blinds, lies, and deprives.
 Are you and I existing in the same world or illusionized that we do?
 I lost a love that you (the world) took from me, with reasonable reason I believe. Still I question, WHY...? “BECAUSE WE ARE ONE BUT EXIST IN DIFFERENT WORLDS”…

My return

I used to be a good poet but kinda lost it when I met u hehe got no clue how to write again, words seems to be stuck with glue in my mind, will they forever be engraved guess I-i i dug a grave, love takes a lot from the mind and the same breath I honestly say the heart doesn't mind.

I love u with every ounce of me promise u will never leave me, desert me abandone me, exclude me, and if I may say neglect me reject me, live your life without me, please elude me and tell me u need me, that u dnt see urself without me, tell me u want to be with me, and unbreak my heart and tell me you love me.

Please dnt exclude me slightly hint which direction a nigger should take to be with u, honey please, grant me a chance to speak and remind you of things as I slowly kneel as u lift me by my chin hinting a kiss, but only to hear 'baby I will miss...'

Give Me Permission To Go

Death is knocking on my door, i scream as i can't take it no more, i consume alcohol to numb my thoughts, thoughts i can't stop neither control or put on hold.

Still in this mist of the storm i try with no success to form a greater goal not for me alone but for those that fought those that i leave behind to tremble and moarn over a lost soul, believe me i was that soul, but just somehow lost control of it all.

i sometimes wish i could fall never to recover of be reborn, i feel lost i just simply can't hold on to dreams never to evolve or become true do that, so i can involve other souls,

I am going home never to return so please world, do not i repeat do not clone or revive me or make me reborn, i can't take this world so let me leave me alone to GO, i hope never to become this cold or ignored, hope u remeber as a pure soul, cause that was my only Goal...

Lies That Heal Tomorrow

It’s hard to live a lie, sometimes you smile when all you want to do is cry.
It’s hard to ask why, cause the answers that come can be critical to one’s mind.
Sometimes It’s hard to live a lie, when all you wish for is to just roll over and die

Sometimes It’s hard to ask why, cause why seems to become rhetorical after a while.
There are days when I wish I could just die, parish-evaporate to the skies or like ashes vanish into the atmosphere and forever burry my lies…

and there are times when I see through humans eyes what it truly means to be alive, smile, walk for miles, spend time with loved ones, embrace another soul, love without any costs, breathe without fear, miss your presence here, cry without sorrow, kiss for today and tomorrows, live life to the fullest without the slightest worry.
And then I exhale, and say tomorrow will be a better day.

I try

I try to let go but the pull is so strong, I try to hold on but it feels so wrong.
I try to grasp you but you are slipping away, I try to go on but am forced to stay Hey… Let me walk away I shad to many tears, I fought hard still I have to face my fears.
I try to forget that face; try to run away from this place…
Ooh your body, perfectly shaped it drives me insane again and again, did I mention you drive me insane oh yes I did, but had to mention it again.
But Now I’m sitting here trying to explain, how can I translate? But what comes to mind is a clean slate. I can’t indicate which direction we can take, I gave you your space, in tried to relate, now I comprehend.
I’m trying to let go but the pull is so strong, I try to hold on but it still feels wrong…
Please come home, Hold my hand let’s get lost, create our own world, fly beyond the sky I already feel at home with you within my soul.
Make my heart your home, ‘cause yours is already, Already My home…
