*Lying on my back Arms sprawled and breath erratic, immobile Can't even check to see my wounds but they have not gone unnoticed In hindsight, the fall was too deep The greatest things in life have gone sour Laughter joy and love  morphed into pain My wanting to trust was amusingly a blindfold But in the end it turned out to be ok because Whiskey is my rebound*

My new love
You've beaten me So deep and with such precision Left lying bruised Ashamed of the person you have turn me into At one point I utterly surrendered Looking at who I was at the moment I was ready for the forever embrace of that knockout blow Just to have you pull that sweet coup de grâce And burdened me with the aftermath of my undoing. Wallowing inside, I asked myself why? Searching for answers I heard an edifying voice "Pick yourself up ****** Blame it on your lack of strength, fortitude, or help another day Cuz right now, it's just you And if you don't keep fighting you'll have no one else to blame!" So I staggered upright and licked my wounds Nodded to my reflection in the shattered glass And under my breath I declared, "Life, I'm coming for you"

In the Midst of The Fight
Sitting on the train tracks Buying my time Wanting to ease the pain Eyes focused on the bottom of this bottle Tatted on my soul is the wrong words That forged this mangled mind Weakness is the absence of emotions I wish i was weak Within strength comes pain And a eternal struggle to forget As night bows out and the moon flickers My only regret is Ever wasting my time thinking about this ****

Nocturnal
Have the shatering cries awoken you Have the conscientious thoughts split you in two Or will you shrug and let it pass Mumbling silent "I'm glad it aint my *** Contradicting morales give us hope Dangling in view like a transparent rope Instead of taking action we hessitate, stall All the whille letting the person below fall I however, will not run from the fight Face down the darkness even in the shadow o f the night I will be there to say "Hey miss, Why are you crying Is it cuz of all the people dying Don't worry it won't be long One day they will hear our sad song They will realize what went wrong For humanity will see us through This I promise you"

In between sinner and saint
The enchantment of it all That is what we all search for The swooning, the fluttering The capturing of that which is insubstantial We spend hours, day, weeks Imagining the perfect half Yet I ask Is that love? Love is more than an ideal It is culmination of two souls Not to be their savior But an equal partner Who will walk through the darkness Into the light that is their lives, together I ask the fated angel when will it come Anxiously waiting for the coming days Alluding as the this unattainable feeling is Its still manages to give me the rough and tumble That's what it is That's why we fight for it

Ramblin about love
I traced the mountain skyline Placed at rivers bend Trying to recapture the beauty That once made my heart a butterflies wingbeat. The dullness filled that landscape in comparison If in my lifetime I were to capture a sight of you once In a moment of time I would praise the starry night sky That cast a glimmer of light upon your face
