Most people would say I’m too young,
Lovestruck or blind
But poetry is like a song
replaying in the back of my mind

Now I’ll write this poem for you
Like I write life
One stroke at a time
Then another
And another
Until struck one too many times
And like my last breath
My words die

Im writing my life as I want it to be
But I’m a bad author
Mistakes were made

Edit it out

I write you into my life
more often than not
Cause like the blood in my veins
You’re all that I’ve got

A misinterpretation of what I anticipated to happen
Led me to a dark place
But like a train on a track rolling through a cave
You were the light at the end of that merry - go - phase

Edit it out
Edit it out

I write you into my life
Cause without you
I have a pointless story

I write you into my life
As my wants
As my desires
Forgetting
more often than not
My needs to reach that satisfactory stage

Edit it out
Edit it out

I write you into my life
As my endless beginning
Being that every time I think I want something more
You show me that you’re everything I’m looking for

Hell,
I write you into my life
Because I can’t remember ..
I write you into my life
Because I can’t remember
Because I can’t remember
...

life without you

I write you into my life
Cause 1 4 3 5 3 4 3
(i love you until the very end)

There’s a bunch of thoughts floating around in my mind
And i don’t know how to attack them one at a time
So i open up my notebook and spit a quick rhyme
Which is a sign
That very much like you wine and dine
I’m unashamed and unafraid
I dont need a maid to have it made
I’ll build it myself
Just put two feet on the ground
And listen to the sound of my heart
Whicch is a drum
The rhythm speaks in tounges
And i want to comprehend it
But i cant so i just send it
Away to my love
Who knows i lost my mother
So she always tries to fulfill my wishes
Which is amunition
Just as tuition gets you a colleges degree
Can’t  you see
Its the memories of the darkness
That push us down
Bit without yhem we’d never have a place to stand up
Now i realize
That we all disguise ourselves
With the things that actually deprived us
From a life that to our demise
Will continue as we rise
To the sky

When they said she was broken
I imagined a contract in which she sighed herself away To a guy she thought loved her
I imagined her going home to a family of doubts and hate
When they said she was broken
I imagined an image of her reflecting in a broken mirror
When they said she was broken
I thought to myself “this is the most beautifully broken person that I’ve ever seen...I’ve got to say hi”
When they said she was broken
I realized that i had work to do
I turned my smile into a wrench and my heart into a hammer and asked
“How can i fix her?”
