Let me give you my sight
My heart
It might shine some light
On how we fell apart
This is hard to explain
Maybe in the past year I've gone insane
There's been times I know I've failed
I carry that shame
Irrelevant people who I'd rather not name
Came between
I analyze it everyday
Still can't find the exact moment
It became this way
It's possible I lost you long ago,
Why is it though you wont let go?
This road has been a rough one
Does it ever end?
Hope I dont remember that day
As vivid as the day it began
Not scared to lose love
Just scared to love again
I know I took you for granted
I admit it
But can you
Take responsibility for anything you do
We both have cause pain
We both will never be the same
We both played the game
We lost
What else is there to gain
But to both go insane
Both caught up in this maze
We call love
Look how messy this **** has become
Look at what we have done
This is only my side
My view of the ride
Now the question is, and will always be
Do we stop or continue to be ?
Do we cut all ties , do we give it another try?
Kinda want the pain to stop, kinda not
Still want to love you, kinda want to hate you
Mixed emotions
Four letters cause such a commotion
It's getting tough to deal
On this side
Didn't know I was solo on this ride, or am I?
Your wave frequency comes strong then weak
We've hardly talked in the past week
It's funny how others want to give me their love
But its always yours I seek
Honestly I think I'm just gonna give up
Never been the one to do so
Just think enough is enough

It may seem like our fire has been a little  burnt out
It may seem like we haven't been the same in awhile
Just tribulation & trail
No longer get those sweet text
About how you feeling me
Do­esn't change the fact you're my queen
To be
Our world maybe upside down
But all we gotta do is stick aroun­d
Because after the night comes day  After work comes play
If we give it our all
When we take this leap 
We'll survive the fall 
My end all be al­l 
My dearest woman of mine 
The x and o on my valentine 
There is no place in the world id rather be
Then next to thee
In just a matter of time sparks
Will fly
We'll soar into the sky
And let the wind take us where ever
No matter how harsh the weather
We'll get thru it as long as we are together

Beauty 
Is in the eyes of the beholder 
Told her she was cold
But the world is colder
Just glad I'm the one that gets to hold her
Told her if she ever need one she'd 
Always have a shoulder 
To cry , lean 
And to dream on 
I can see us walking on the beach 
The stars never been touch 
But it never hurt to reach 
Her smile one of her best qualities
No coincidence it matches her personality 
And you the one I wrote this for 
My words bring forth action
Never decor 
Written with compassion 
Hoping you realize your worth 
And so much more

You and 
                                                 Me
Thru thick and thin
Thin thru thick
                                                 You
Stood here 
Stood your ground
You stuck around
                                                 The
Struggle and pain
And I still feel the same
                                                 Possibility 
As before 
I want more 
                                                 Of Us

Look at me 
May you see what you see
Either way imma be who I be 
I'm not gonna seek 
A different identity 
Cause conformity 
Just isn't me 
But as you read
You'll see I bleed, me 
So read into it 
Cause I put my all into it 
So don't judge a book by its cover 
Until you've read all through it
So you say you real 
Prove it 
Actions are louder than words
But words tend to hurt or heal
So I try to practice what I preach 
I try to follow before I teach
So look at me 
Look at me 
I'm just a product of my environment 
My surroundings may be dark
But my soul stays vibrant
Through this writing I become fluent 
Because without my writings I feel translucent 
To tell you truth I couldn't give a ****
So save your two cents
So look at me 
Conquer this insanity 
Tupac would be proud 
Of the man in me
So I don't know if you can keep up
Imma feed my dreams 
Till I blow up 
It's either show up or
Get shown up
I won't shatter 
As I gather 
And dunk on my opponent 
Cause my mind is like the lane
I own it 
May it never be chained down by anything or anyone
I just want you to look at me for who I am and the good I've 
Done .... Look at me
Tired using some Double entendres in this one

Lord knows she's beautiful
All that hurt and that pain 
Is her fuel
To make it big 
And get out of this **** hole
It's getting harder and harder 
Not to fold 
So here's a few words
You're beautiful and strong
And I'm proud that you are still hold on
You deserve a grammy
Cause you really had me
Thinking you were fine 
But as time goes by 
I hear you say 
That everything is falling apart
That you have a tainted heart 
with me you don't have to lie
In me you can confide 
There's no need to hide 
Let it pour
And if I could I'd take that pain 
Away
just to hear you say everything 
Is great 
That you're feelin good and
Livin better 
That you made it 
And got your **** together
And no more trying, no more crying
I hope these words of encouragement 
Help you push through 
But even if this fails 
Know that 
you're beautiful
And strong 
keep holding on

See that tear in my eye 
Well it's full pain
If I give up now
Does it mean everything I've struggled for
Done in vain?
I know times get rough
But it seems as if my good just isn't....
Good enough
I try an give my all
Still some how I seem to fall
I look for inspiration 
And all I find is temptation 
Leading to my corruption
So now I'm thinking and breathing
Heavy 
Just waiting on the day that 
All this will break me
I feel like I'm chained at my hands and
My feet
So instead of trying 
I lie in defeat 
Ashamed of my failures
At times I feel like this war I'll never
Win
And my only option is to retreat
