What is wrong?
Is it wrong to love twice?
Is it wrong to say lies?
Is it wrong if it's okay,
If one who loves you acted anyway?

My heart is torn,
My brain worn.
It's going two ways right now,

My brain says one,
the heart another.
But the next day
it switches altogether.

These two from the start,
were there all along.
One with a poem,
The other a song.
One and Only Jun 2015
Sometimes parents think they know you.
But all you are is a mystery.
They think children are all the same,
Been there, done that, you're history.

Sometimes they fool themselves,
Saying that they care,
Telling us dangers of the world,
"It's a scary place out there"

I think what happened here,
has a simple explanation.
Kids are scared of people,
Like there parents in aggravation.

They're scared of what they might become,
Because they've seen it all before.
The people they see daily,
Ones they used to adore.

When you tell your parents this,
They're sure to get angry,
But at least there is a small percent,
Nodding to agree.

So parents please listen
I just hope you understand,
not all people are the same,
just a few in the land.

You talk when we speak,
You listen when we're silent,
Then ask "Why can't you tell us?"
"Because your way was too violent"

But kids sometimes close up,
because of what they see.
Their thoughts will lead to many things like:
"For once listen to me"

Every wall I've built,
Every place I've kept in,
Each stone you have thrown,
Each one you burst in.

Every time I ran,
Every time you followed,
Each time I stayed away,
Each time was simply borrowed.

Each day you would get through,
Every time I'd push you out.
Every lie I'd made,
Each one a dying shout.

I'm not used to affection,
no less, yours.
Hoping for a miracle,
truth must come by force.

I'll confess I'm a coward,
and yes I am scared.
But no one really asked,
so I thought no one cared.

I'll confess I'm a liar,
And yes that is true.
Trust me this once,
I'll begin life anew.

I'll confess I'm no good,
Though I'm sure now you know.
Please, help me get up
from my all time low.

Look to the heavens
outside your window
Beyond evergreen branches
and moon song shadows

Gaze upon every star
your eyes do see
Twinkling like pearls
on a black velvet canvas

Pick one that shines
the brightest on your heart
and that star will be ours
in the universe of love

And know, as you sleep tonight,
dreaming of every tomorrow
This light will protect you,
for it glows on all that we are
Good night

My downfall.
Slow,
Excruciating,
Waited by all,
Seen by all.

Plotted by few,
wanted by many.
That is my demise,
my destiny.

Pain, helps me;
and yet hurts me.
It brings me away
by keeping me there.

A blade,
A word,
A gun,
Absurd.

All are my downfall,
Pain, I must decide for her.
Be she the curse,
or be she the cure.
One and Only May 2015
Pain, helps me.
Fire, consumes me.
Hatred, devours me.
Yet love, embraces me.

I am the essence,
the raw matter in love.
Without me, there is nothing.
Nothing to have.

Everything has me,
Everything knows,
Hurt may soon take over,
from 3 simple words.
