The levee has broken Tears are falling The feelings and thoughts are flowing Ink is dispersing Pages are filling and turning The raw emotional flood is growing The tired mind is pouring

Flood
In the past, I did my fair share of twisting the glass pipe in between my ***** fingertips Countless bottles pressed to my cracked red lips White lines disappearing into rolled up hundred dollar bills I swallowed nameless pills But you know what, **** those thrills Nothing but cold sweats and body aches Headache kills Disease filled vices I thought I needed to help me get through the crisis

Vices
My voice is silent, it goes unheard It has been forever ago since I have bleed black ink on blank pages The only way my heart speaks truly I've lost my touch I've hit a wall My thoughts go unspoken, lost in the dark.

Silence
Instead of focusing on the negative aspects of my existence, Why not highlight the positive? I have a good paying career that I continue to strive in. I have a warm safe place to rest my head. I share a home with a young woman very dear to my heart. I am well taken care of by her. I have food I have a car I have clothes and fair health. What more do I acquire? It seems sufficient enough. I am not mean spirited I am not cruel to others. I treat others with respect. I am caring and compassionate. I have friends that love me family that loves me. I have a dog who adores and loves me unconditionally. There is large amounts of goodness I overlook because I am too focused on the bad. It is easy to lose yourself in the darkness but There is always a flickering light to show us the way back.

New way of thinking
All my tears are gone and all my thoughts are lost This is me turning numb I am not a failure but life has failed me Mentally drained emotionally rotten There is nothing left of me I desperately want to be forever happy But unfortunately for me happiness is only temporary I am physically free but my mind remains a prisoner of misery She must enjoy my company because she is never without me

My heart is heavy with emptiness I can't promise her change I was born with defects to save her the grief I told her I won't stay Why put ourselves through this awful game It's not that I don't love her but I always hurt the ones I love I rather not waste her time and make her cry I'm not worth it and only I know it

She danced outside under the light of summers full moon Her majestic body slowly swaying to the soft music playing on her old kitchen radio Her bare feet in the grass and the earths damp soil in between her paint chipped toes Beads of sweat formed and trickled down her beautiful brown face A gentle breeze swept through the summer night and through her flower patterned dress What a lovely sight for sore eyes A fallen angel from heavens grace dancing to the soft music playing on the old kitchen radio Adored by all she had not a care in the world

Your Passion is much like a burning fire Hot to the touch and fueled by love I only hope I can give you enough and so much more Because you deserve more than this world Your kisses are hot on my lips My body temperature rises Third degree burns when you touch my body all over Forget a cold shower, I love the way it burns You make my blood flow, I can feel it boil But not out of rage More like your red hot passion It sets me on fire Blood, sweat, and tears I love the way you make me feel When you whisper I love you in my ear Our love is like a burning fire Hot to the touch and fueled by our endless love for one another

Your wounded but I don't think you are broken The scars your wear are invisible but they are there At first glance I would never be able to tell Your walls are up You have hidden your fragile heart behind barb wired barricades Its okay, I am in no rush Ill patiently wait for you to let me in I promise I am here to stay
