I'm not here to ask for money or power I don't want control of the world Or be the second coming of jesus Instead I'll give you everything I own And more I'll repent my sins and change my ways Attend every Sunday service Give ten percent then another ten Never question you or life again I'll volunteer to build a park for poor kids Shelter the homeless and feed the hungry I'll go back and right every wrong Make sure others don't follow the same road Quit smoking and stop drinking Become a gym rat and stay away from sugar I'll even get on my knees to praise you Refrain from the jokes about you Spread the word with strangers about you Then I'll leave an empty space incase you want more In return all I ask for Is to help me be half as happy as I was with her I feel like this is fair and deserving If you accept I'll never ask for anything again Wait , I want to change that Just watch over and keep her protected Never let her smile fade and make sure she always feel loved And I'll be fine as long as you can do that

All I Ask For
It's not the sleep I hate It's the lack of control over my mind The darkness that makes loneliness shine It's the movie that replays I see her at the bottom of a hill Under the sun looking beautiful Unbelievable I'm screaming her name Walk to a jog then a run I become excited screaming her name as my walk turns into a run Smiling as she she turns and I see her face Twenty years of waiting for this Five steps away but before I could say I love you mom She fades away Wake up in darkness feeling the pain Nightmares kills dreams Reality kills hope Death kills life Every night I lose you I lose a piece of myself It's not the sleep I'm looking forward to It's losing control of my mind Using the darkness to hide this loneliness It's the memories of the past and dreaming of tomorrow It's me standing in a crowded room hearing my name being yelled Seeing her smiling face as I turn around It's holding someone so beautiful Hearing I love you as we embrace Her perfectly shaped soft lips againest mine It's how real her touch feels How completely right this is It's that feeling that you want to last forever But as quick as she appeared She fades away Leaving me to wake, alone and in pain To the darkness of loneliness Reality kills dreams Life kills hope Every night I lose you ,I lose a piece of me

ONE PIECE AT A TIME
Empty thoughts from a fragile heart A step faster then a walk On the last dirt road Her way of wanting to get caught Screaming for help while holding her breathe How far is to far Thought of death but that's forever And forever seems to long She just needs a short break then comeback strong It's hard to find drive with no car Wheels spinning without a mouse Just a sparkle of sunlight would be nice She just wanted the simple things Be a good wife and a mother of two Not lost and barefoot labeled and shamed Made mistakes but this punishment seems to long Alittle of something is not always better then nothing Turn the blue to black then let the sky fall At five foot two the order was to tall Way out of her reach Throat to dry for her to speak Eyes to wet for her to see Half of bag is all she has Asking herself Why can't I keep my knees clean Why do I let these pills control me Why has everyone turned on me Whats the point in trying to keep moving on Save a life and **** me I'm well aware what the world thinks of me Here's all your Christmas and birthday gifts that i missed Giving up the space I been wasting away

On The Last Dirtroad
New day started with the same ways Same dreams and same needs Same complaints and same beliefs Same anger causing the same attitude Same situation with the same work ethic Same ol **** which feeds the same state of depression Same as the past and same as tomorrow Same words and the same actions Same self pain and the same self medication New day started the same way Heart ache from heartbreak From a woman I hope to meet My father taught me about the dark side of love My brother taught him tough love My mother loved she wouldn't have to suffer At fourteen Joann the neighbor showed me something better then love Said her husband only had love for money I loved that summer New day started with the same ways Same alarm clock with the same sound Same routine eating the same food Same route to the same office Same parking space having the same meetings Same lunch spot with the same people Same words and the same fake laughs Same asprin trying to **** the same headache Same way home listening to the same Tony Robbins cd Same house filled with the same silence New day started with the same ways Keeps a mind behind while it slowly fades It's talked about It's thought about Then forgot about Afraid of change Another lost day A week goes by then a year or two Time is running out Your yelling life was to short While crying knowing you just wasted most of yours

Same Ways **** New Days
Steady stream of loud silence paints fake images inside of a sane mind Add in loneliness with a dash of time And watch how quick it deteriorates Answers of truth will be produced without words being formed into questions Sweating in a room where the ac sets at sixty five From hunter to prey If last was first how fast would we run Trying to win a race that nobody keeps track of Why be the type to take the tickle out of a feather **** the fun and shatter dreams Anger is born from pain Pain is related to love Love is a drug that turns us all into addicts No rehab to cure that Sitting back waiting for her to come back Afraid to stand and move along Hard to sell yourself if your waste your value Make some noise Have a laugh Sing a song Keep the silence from stealing a sane mind

Sane Mind
I'm offbeat humming a tune Making it difficult for you to tap your feet You decide to scream out of key Staring at me as I stare at you Silence broken by you asking Should we take this home Counted me in on three I speak about what I know I only believe what I see And I have seen a right and left not make a perfect pair I'm the type that would rather smoke the trees then count the leafs Live life instead of living for afterlife Pushing your beliefs won't make me believe Love is far from free Hate holds more weight Hard to love with hate Thanks to the pain I hate to love I threw twelve nickles in a well I threw sixty cents away My last girlfriend was out here to teach me Failing is not the worst part of failure That would be holding on to long Love to hate to loneiness to regrets Now I sit with torn pictures and scotch tape Till I finish off a fifth of liquor From Facebook you would think my life is perfect Fake as the smile on this aged face Sad as the man with that fake smile and aged face

Fake Smile on a Aged Face
I want to be more then someone's broken promise I want you to get lost in thoughts of us as you look at me I want to be the cause and not just a reason I want to be the one your friends can't wait to meet Feeling like they already know me because you can't stop talking about me I want you to feel the need to race home and have us in bed before the sun sets Keeping the blinds tight so we can't see the sun rise I want the doctor to tell me that I gained twenty pounds in thirty days Thats love not fat so it's ok Then have you encourage me to lose at least half I would be fine with people thinking our smiles are  fake Unable to understand how we can be happy all the time Confused by hearing who's right don't matter to us One could never be wrong for the other Matching shirts and can't leave without a kiss Never saying goodbye or stay mad to long I want you to never have to worry To be clueless as to what it's like to doubt me To know your more then number one Your the whole list Everyday be able to make you proud to be seen with me Still falling in love with you at ninty Hide the make up till you see the beauty your coving up Maybe hide your clothes too Cause your body is perfection and perfection should never be covered up When anyone brings up a bad relationship I want you not to be able to relate Every week go on atleast one date Nomatter how good you say I am I'll always try to be a little better It will be my job to hurt for you I'll be happy to take your pain I want to be why you lie to your boss about being late I'm working on being similar to the lead actor in your favorite movie that you can't watch enough But first I need to create a new word because love is not strong enough I want you to have what you deserve then some And after I write the last line I never want you to have to ask me to repeat these things so you can be reassured These words will come alive through my actions And just in case you ever see me shed a tear or two It's because I been looking for you ten years before I knew you Now if I could only find you

This was going to be another I love you poem A please don't go plea Explain how the pain is to much Desricbe the heart break How I want to drink these tears dry Beg for more time and promise change This was going to show how sorry I am in a hundred different ways Let you know that if your gone then I want to go to This was going to be filled with words that would keep you here I would beg if needed Give whoever whatever if we continued forever But it never got the chance Passed out before writing the first word out Woke with pen still in my hand Paper scattered on the bed Leaned over to the pillow that would've been holding your head Took a deep breathe then kissed it softly First time in nine years your lips wasn't there First time in nine years my day began with tears wetting my face Few got by cleaning the sleep dust from my eyes Just before anger stopped the chance to really cry Why? Why this ? Why now? Why am I beginning to smile? Am I not hurting as much as I should? Did I not love you as much I believed? Staring at the empty bed I finally see what was lost for a long time You bright eyed and laughing Then I hear you telling me your quote of the day Happy for no other reason then that's the type of person you are Gone was the look of pain and misery that deprived you of the life you loved And the world of your beautiful smile Everything will change by not changing at all I promise that our forever will continue one day Untill then I ask you to keep an eye on me from your view in the sky And I'll continue to do what I always done That's looking up to you

L Love, life , live or laugh Maybe look , later , long or just the first letter of what was meant to be a goodbye song Deep inside me I know I'll never get the answer But for nineteen years it's been a daily thought Theirs been times I spent hours and more then once I spent days I have yelled and cried about it Asked myself was it going to be a K I turned it to the left , back right then upside down Yes I flipped over then flipped it again It always looks the same One line that's not to straight The black ink has faded some and it holds some dried up tears Someone told me I should throw it away That I needed to stop hanging on To quit trying to solve a problem that I will never be able to solve We haven't talked since I don't need to hear the oblivious I don't need to hear nothing at all I'll put it up for the night To help fall asleep I go to bed thinking it wasn't even meant to be a letter That it was my mother's way of saying " It's me that's dying , you continue on"

L....
Lately my thoughts haven't made much sense Seem lost and scattered among the deaf Shown to the blind Haven't been able to picture one yet Like my first child They died before making it to daylight You heard seeing is believing right Keep my eyes closed to miss the view of my depressed state of mind What's the point of talking to those who pretend So I sit quiet and alone God has already called on all my friends Strike a match Flick a bic Make some light cause this is all dark **** Am I the only one to sit with my eyes closed Thinking how easy it would be if I made my last breathe my last breathe Leave the note you wrote years ago saying goodbye Don't be selfish by getting mad I was ready for my time to end Breaking the cuffs Snapping the chains If it wasn't meant to be then good would've stopped me Right? Would shake hands and say goodbye But my left is wiping sweat While the right one puts in work I tried everything from eight cokes and countless lines And still can't find my smile So why fight the feeling I don't matter You been blowing me off like I'm the dirt on Mr. Knowles shoulder Put me in a closed space with your sister I'll hit her hard Make you a auntie slash ex step mom Now you have something to go sit and tell Let me get the door for you I'll act like I'm over you Yell, scream and cuss Then slam the door As I hit the floor Cause only then will I break Cry out asking God why
