Chances

Go ahead
Take my heart
Take my soul
I would give these up to you
If I know
That maybe I would have a chance
A chance to make you stay
To make you feel better
Than the past you never said
Then when you did
You left
As if nothing happened
As if You were never broken
But the horrible effect
Is you left me hollow
For I have given my everything
Just so you could feel whole
I have given you my world
And all I could ever have is the chance
A chance to feel the way you did before I came along
Come walk with me and let us
shuffle grains of sand beside
the sea.
She makes love with me
washes up all over me
froths and foams and combs in waves
she makes a slave of me
come walk with me
she makes this mister,mister mystery
and mystifies
in her I live and die
she gives
I sigh
and live and die
unto eternity
come walk with me.

oh, those lips, i felt that breath
between my ear
and the crook of my neck
from your whispers i could hear
some haunting phrase
some taunting line
my heart appraised
but my name had been signed
so i stumbled, knowingly
into your open arms
cob webs spun with treachery
laced with venomous charm
those wicked, wicked words
"where have you been?"
that is what i heard
my thoughts began spin
as i screamed within myself
"NOT WITH YOU,
I KNOW MY HELL!
THIS HELL YOU DREW!
YOU SELFISH *******
HOW CAN YOU SPEAK
THOSE VILE WORDS
THEY MAKE ME WEAK!
I'VE BEEN FELT, BEEN SEEN
WITH HANDS TRACING MY THIGHS
AND ALL IN BETWEEN
BUT IN BETWEEN THE LINES
I'M STILL THE CHILD YOU LEFT
LEFT FOR DEAD, I BET SHE'S SWEET TOO
SWEET AS YOUR LIAR'S BREATH
BUT DON'T WORRY I NEVER BELIEVED YOU
WHEN YOU SAID 'YOU ARE THE ONE
ONLY ONE, I SWEAR'
AS YOU LOCKED AND LOADED THIS GUN
SO LET'S PLAY TRUTH OR DARE?
I DARE YOU TO LOOK ME IN THE EYE
AND SWEAR YOU DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT YOU WERE DOING WITH THOSE LIES
AND ALL THE PAIN IN ME YOU'D SOW
I WISH YOU'D GO, BUT YOU STAY STILL
STICKS AND STONES WILL BREAK BONES
AND YOUR WORDS WILL SURELY ****!
BUT IT IS YOU, OF THE MEN I'VE KNOWN
I HAVE CRAWLED INTO THEIR BEDS
AND THEY FILL THIS SPACE
BUT THEY CANNOT FILL MY HEAD
SO WHAT HAVE I BECOME? A SWEET DISGRACE?
OH, JUST **** ME NOW, EVEN THE SCORE
PLEASE, I'VE ALREADY MADE MY BED
LET ME BE WHAT YOU LEFT ME FOR
LET ME JUST BE DEAD."
but the words i spoke were not that
i whispered "i've been around...
and now i'm back"
that's when i hit the ground
pulled down like sinking sand
knowing i found my hell
in the touch of your gentle hands
i cannot run, not very far
i know my home, i know it well
within the cob webs of your arms
i find my home, this little hell

A bruise will heal
   it doesn't last
   it will leave me as I was

A wound though
   will leave it's mark
   it'll leave a scar across my heart

So if I had to say which you are
   I'd have to say
   you are a scar

They wear their veils.
Some because of their heritage.
Some because of the culture.
Some because of their religion.

But many seem to be suffering at the hands of males.
Who rule them with a heavy hand?
As, if they are pleasant instead of respected women.

Laws, rules, always seem to support strength of what a man can do.

Some has the rights to take multiple wives.
A different woman for any day.
If decided by him any night.

Some twist the bibles scriptures to suit their view.
After all, women never wrote any biblical scriptures.
And if they did, I doubt men will preach upon them.

We see men in America's with twisted views.
Except a few women follow them too.
Those that don't like working women.
And believe me, there are plenty too.

Who want their woman at home?
Who accept things he say?
Without a single debate.
Then when things goes astray.
Then he blame it upon society's changes.

When she venture out to be her.
This is, where the trouble begins?
And like others that wants to be in charge.
This is when most men becomes very abusive.

Who believe the vows should still have the word obey?
It's hard.
It's hard.
It's hard to be free.

When some thing only about the old ways.

I know I promised I would never
Never fall for you
Never be jealous of people who come near you
Never feel weary of the uncertainty
Never leave
But I did fall for you, everyday
I was jealous for they could still touch the one I treasure beyond myself, they could hear the thoughts of your beautiful mind
They could see the things I saw that made me love you even more
And I know I can't force you to stay
But I want you to
I know I shouldn't but I find myself unsure
I know I said I would never leave but I fear that my love for you may be too intense that it wouldn't just break you, it would destroy me
I'm scared beyond reason
Uncertain of what I should do
For I am breaking torn between two
It would hurt me to see you hurt
But it's pain that eats me up when you're getting father away
I guess I'm left with the choice
Of staying and bearing the grief
Or leaving and destroying myself
