While we were drunk in love.. Never did I know he was sitting on the fence....

Pained..
i felt tears run down my cheeks as i thought about everything once again. how the events in my life lead me to this point in time. how i am the person i am because of my past and the people in life. i don't know what this feeling is but i'm feeling. the lump in my throat grows and climbs upwards to the point where i just stare at my ceiling, mouth opened, tears running down my face, i'm paralyzed in this moment. i deserve to be happy. it's taken a lot to finally say that. i wish time would stop. i wish i could breathe without worry. there will be a day where i'll wake up to wind chimes and waves softly crashing, and this is enough for me. these tears, these tears are tears of acceptance and this is enough.

blue side
Love is like a ****** - it hurts at first Like a shooting pain from a needle that ****** the skin in a middle of your arm Like a fire, floating through your veins as it Burns it's way to a middle of your heart Before it clouds your mind You feel your body float as Free as one will ever be Unknowingly your mind slows and races To unimagined peak of ecstasy.

Love is a Drug
People walk on by and only glance in my direction unaware that I am suffering from a deep rooted infection. For don't you see that I'm painfully dying and in the future you'll know that I could've been saved, all it took was a simple moment of trying and to hear the things that I always craved. They tell you a drowning man will drag you down but I've always been a strong swimmer, we can easily take on another pound just focus on the waves surfing glimmer. Keep going, keep rowing, don't inhale that salty sea. The wind's blowing, exhaustion is showing, I'll hold you up even when you can't hold me. People walk on by and only glance in my direction they aren't the slightest bit shocked at my self inflicted dissection. For I desperately need to remove my organs of rot, these days feeling just takes too much of a toll on me, and they're so badly damaged that no customer has bought, even when I offered them up for free. They tell you a drowning man will drag you under but I've always been gifted with a swift stroke, how I made it out this far truly is a wonder, or maybe just another sad tasteless joke. Keep going, keep towing, don't you give up so easily. The wind's blowing, pace is slowing, I'll hold you up even when you can't hold me. So call me Ismael 'cause I'm lost at sea, was caught up in a current very swiftly, and my white whale has lost all interest in me, I guess there's some other place it would rather be, than stuck in my sad excuse for company. Do I glimpse land's salvation or am I just succumbing to insanity?

While I sat under the the sun.. It burned my heart so bad.. But its hotness was nothing compared to the heat I feel when your lips touches mine....

Untitled..
Pierce thru my spine with your fingers.. Caress my edge with the depth of your love.. Loose yourself into me.. Scatter me with every breath you give.. You are my number one... I'll long for nothing but your touch.. Rebecca Nneka

To my lover..
I planted a seed I watched it grow. I watered it daily I loved it so. Every morning I opened my eyes So I could admire you. And you used to look back at me and you admired me too. But I looked to the horizon, and I saw death in the sky. Then, the storm took you away from me and I couldn't understand why. It's been a long time since I lost my sweet, pretty flower Sometimes I want to plant a new one But I don't think it will grow. Sometimes I feel like I've already planted one Other times I feel like I never did. Maybe I planted it but never watered it. I don't really know. I want to ask you to be my sweet, pretty flower But I think I forgot how.

The Last Piece of the Puzzle Lost
The day we met... They were the water surrounding an exotic island. They were calm and peaceful, sparkling in the sun. I swam with leisure. The day we fought... They were the sea before a storm. Swirling currents chilled me to the bone. I struggled against the current. The day he left... It was like a hurricane hit our once peaceful beach. The waves were wild. They flashed with lightning. I finally drown.

The Boy With Ocean Eyes
Burning heart Matching soul What will it take To feel a bit whole Spinning head Cloud of smoke Just one bad habit To fix what's broke My throat still aches I just wanted to feel awake...

Bad Habit
Though we fought.. I still believe.. Though we yelled at each other.. I still believe Though we turned strangers.. I still believe.. Though I am not longer your muse.. I still believe.. Though you've become the one that got away.. I still believe.. I still believe that someday... You and me will find ourselves in love again... I won't give up waiting for that knock on the door.. How can I get away from you when you are like the air I breath? I will keep waiting I will keep believing.. I will keep loving you.. I love you like my very own soul..
