You ask me what part of her I love the most and all you get is a confused look on my face Don't ask me a trick question You see, that's like putting me in front of a piano and telling me to play my favorite note I love all the notes, in every way but I don't love one more than the other You see, I can play a note forté or piano, staccato or legato, and I love them all but what I truly love is how they come together to create this beautiful song I love the song, I love every note, moment, beat that the song is comprised from So yes I love her eyes, voice, hair, smile, but I love everything about her because I love her more than what you could conceive as possible More than what's considered reasonable, but love is irrational So how am I supposed to pick a favorite part? She is a symphony composed of my dreams Played by everything I could possibly love all coming together to form the greatest work of art of all time She is the most beautiful sound you will ever hear With base notes defining my heart beats The strings play as soft as her smile She is the music of my future and I just pray it doesn't give away the ending but I keep listening anyways because I have to know that we end up together in the end because in the end She is everything

Faith and Love
Other adults laugh at me when I tell them I believe in monsters They tell me monsters, they're only real in my head But I don't snap I stand stronger than my own back bone, look them dead in the eyes and say "That's the most dangerous place for them to be" When I finish a shower I dry off and put on clothes like everyone else So why do I still feel so ***** and naked. **** right monsters exist in my mind, it's always battle, these monsters exist in abundance in the world They cause hate, **** ****** they worship misery and bring it with them wherever they go. I still fight with my monsters, and they haven't won in a long time, but when they do they pull the blood right from my skin. How dare they inhabit my body, how dare they walk around as me taking my days away Don't tell me monsters don't exist when i am one some times. I can only hope to fight it, but the monster is part of me

Monsters
I swear that I see god when I look you in the eyes And when you smile at me a new universe is made from the Big Bang that is my heart beat People say good things come in time but I think timing is irrelevant because when you're in love time doesn't exists Time is a child at two in the morning tiptoing around to try not to wake it's parents But it doesn't matter because time could be a marching band walking over my body and I still wouldn't notice it Because my love will always be timeless If I could read your fingerprints like Brail, I would allow you to write a story on my body And then I would read myself, from beginning to end learning to love every part of me the way you do The same way I love you, relentlessly, uncontrollably and unapologetically I don't believe in destiny but I **** sure believe in miracles There are 7.12 billion people in the world and I got to meet you You see when I'm with you I swear I could walk on water, and turn the water to wine as I pass I know when we hug I've never been closer to God, and he speaks to me through your heartbeats He tells me to remember to breath when I'm around you because I often forget That's why there is no one in the world like you, people would drop dead while you take their breath away And me? Well You can keep my breath, and every other part of me because now and forever I'm yours

Love and Faith (Spoken word)
She broke me, but I suppose that's what happens when you give a child a toy I was just used for her amusement, but eventually children always fall back to their favorites He was her first love, how could I ever compete, so I just stood there quietly watching her break me It's been months and now I finally realize what she did, she wasn't an earthquake that broke my foundation, she didn't cause that insignificant of damage She was a nuclear strike for the bombing that someone else did on her life, you see I'm just collateral damage She took me in, accepted me for the flaws I'll never be able to overcome, she made me feel warm, but that's how con artists work, they make you feel like winner while they **** you dry She was a tick, a parasite masquerading as someone I willingly kept around while she drained my spirit, my essence, my happiness She trapped my soul in a bottle and takes it like medication every time she starts to feel the pain of the relationship she ran back to Now all that's left is the hollow shell of a man, expressing his hurt through words and lacerated skin She ****** me dry, she nuked me, she broke me, but that's what you do with toys that never meant anything at all

Just a toy
I finally understand why your favorite candy is kit kats, it's because you love to break things that are only sweet to you I don't understand because you either lied then or you lied now but either way you've poisoned your name and I'll never put in back in my mouth, because if I did it would be speaking ill I walked a tight line of secrets from my heart to your ears and you chose to cut it and leave so you didn't have to watch me hit the cement and pay for my vulnerability, and just blame myself when this entire time I never realized that your just a thief that stole me secrets, now you they can be a gift, wrapped in the pieces of my broken heart they can remind you of how you abuse it when people give you absolute power And even as I write this I realize I will never have my secrets back... But I suppose they aren't secrets anymore, just my information that's known by a stranger

Kit kats
I have been a walking hallowed shell of a man for a while now, when people ask why I could be so sad over a relationship that wasn't that long I look them in the eyes and I tell them, time stopped when I was with her So to you it may have seemed like months, but for me, it was years, decades, everything, it was everything I could have wanted you see I swear her smile was weaved out of Sunrays, and I'm made of ice because anytime she flashed it, I'd begin to melt, she warmed me, and it's beautiful Because separate, were both just there but what we can be together that, is something real, you see the sun and water create the rain cycle, together we support life She shined on me, I fell hard, and all that did was make a rainbow, she illuminated the beauty in both of us, but I suppose she was a dangerous force, because eventually.... She just evaporated me entirely, and she continued to shine elsewhere

She made me a Rainbow
Darkness surrounds us, as well as silence we can see nothingness, and feel defiance through the light, your eyes shine i will win the fight, and make you mine we have seen the movies, the way they end well now I'm choosing, to make a lover out of a friend i don't need to see, to spot your perfection it's simply just me, i want your affection i want to watch a sunset, and then stand in the rain a wild day to let, my heart go insane your on my mind, as i lay to rest with you by my side, i'm forever blessed but as my friend, i want to move past and in the end, have something that lasts because your perfection in a heart, your glistening bliss but to start, is just a soft kiss

Soft kiss
He has nothing except sadness he says its all mine It's devastating madness that darkness binds Life desolate nothing left It seems there is no light he's never blessed If you were an angel you have truly fallen You hurt a guy so true now he's hurting Knife to his head he has been thinking Thoughts delusional he has been drinking Tried to find a solution in an empty bottle Desperate to feel something, puts the car in full throttle Calls him self a coward because he can't slice Hates himself but drops the knife Fakes smiles to all his friends He won't be smiling in the end The fallen angel pretends he doesn't exist But what she missed Is the absolute desperation in his eyes He goes home lays down and cries What does he do no one knows The bell rings and he's gone where does he go Does he go through with his plan Or does he unclench his hand The only thing left to tell is time Scared depressed alone and in darkness binds

Darkness Binds
The pain and lies is too much to bare But he doesn't cry he just looks up and stares He has no faith believes in no one He is filled with hate he blocks out the sun Darkness engulfs his surroundings Beauty's a hoax not a real thing He had her he was glad Gone in a blur but he wasn't mad It was worse he was disappointed Happiness dispersed he forgot he was anointed By god he was blessed Left alone he was a mess Darkness so dense he couldn't see Thoughts so intense how could it be He had so much so much to live for He held a firm clutch to hells door Chose not to knock chose to suffer He needs no clock times just a buffer In velvety fluid he found salvation His life he would ruin with exacerbation He has lost oneself and done what's forbidden He cut himself and forever will keep it hidden Until one day at last come judgement He won't let himself pass calling it justice Stuck forever in a nameless land Still uses a knife like a lever and cuts his hand His blood falls soon will be the end of his strife He knows it all he caused the end of his life

End his life
February 14th is the day that a large portion of the world celebrates love It's been over a month since I last felt your heartbeat, since I last saw your smile, and I wish I could say I'm forgetting what it sounded like, what it looked like... But I'm not I'm terrified to think what if, because what if I wasn't supposed to lose you, because when I hold you, we are so high the stars aim to fall among us we are astral, you coated my lips in stardust you celestial angel I'm a coward, I am a Leo, but apparently I'm the cowardly lion with no Dorothy to help me, because what if I love you... I don't wanna love you, we were a sandcastle, we spent some time to build this amazing thing but we didn't bothering building it out of something that lasts, I just wish we built it on the ocean instead of a sandbox that way the ocean, could wash it away until there was no sign of it at all But your etched into my brain because when I think of you, and the problems your going through it kills me, I wish I could take you in my arms and have your tears fall on the paper of my skin, writing the story that binds my heart, and the only one who can read it is you You set up camp in my mind, and seem to want to stay, and I can't force you out so I guess your not gonna leave so I should get used to carrying your burdens in my mind I just want you to know that I'm not sure how much longer I can do this, I can feel my heart trembling, it can't seem to support me any longer, with everybeat it is in denial, and I guess so am I, it seems it would rather flatline, than be in love with a person that forgot it's rhythm
