I remember laying in the grass
Adolescents way to drunk and high
We were out with friends
They were sitting under a bridge nearby
Looking up into the night sky
I turned around and kissed her
She kissed me back and turned around
3 minutes of silence passed and
She said "ive never wanted to kiss someone so much but without wanting ***, ive never wanted to talk to someone but without the words, ive never wanted to be around somebody just to be around him, do you think that's love?"
I looked at her and said if it is love i love you more than anything
My heart was beating so fast
She said "i love you too more than anything"
Ive never felt better
So much brighter on the inside than with any drug ive felt before
And i knew from the moment she kissed me my depression was gone
This was the most beautiful moment of my life
Sitting there with my first real love
With the people i love
In the darkness i love
Under the bridge i learned to love
Smoking the **** i love
Drinking the alcohol i love to hate
But eventually friends turned on me
The bridge got demolished
And she left
All that was left was the darkness of that night, the **** and, the alcohol
I wrote over 300 poems that year
Writing stuff of my young sorry soul
The poems helped me mentally
And the drugs helped me write them
Thats how i became an addict
Now people look at me and tell me im an addict
But im only addicted to her love, these friends, this place, this night
And that's what people dont understand
Im addicted to leaving this world
Leaving this pain behind just a few hours
There's a story behind every addiction
If you speak to an addict in your life
Speak honestly and dont judge them
You'll learn something
You'll learn that this world is a sad little place
And every sad little addict has a sad little heart
Dont judge people you dont feel what they feel

Forever
Cypher Sep 2016
X marks the spot
So i carve it in your heart
The most valuable treasure
But yet it's priceless
It's like the game winning shot
I only have one chance
I can't miss
Our lips tell each other secrets
We seal them off with a kiss
God took everyone from my life
And told me to pick someone id truly miss
It was you
Even when life makes us black and blue
Forever I'll be by your side
On this crazy roller coaster ride

Let Go
Cypher Jul 2016
Im just gonna let go
I might sit by the river
To watch the water flow
Im just gonna let go
I might take a walk
To see where I go
Im just gonna let go
I might meet with 4 kings
To watch the leaves blow
Im just gonna let go
I might make a date with brandy
But my stomachs screaming no
Im just gonna let go....

I looked around your room
I looked around your space
I told myself I wasn't gonna count the stars today
I looked at your scars
I started at your ways
Don't worry I know all about that place
It gets brighter when you look at it this way
Like your smile in this place
Don't forget you're a blessing to me everyday
Guess what?
Guess who?
I think she already knows
I believe she really does
Guess what?
Guess who?
Yeah... I love you
Yeah... I really do

The Rise & Fall
Cypher Aug 2016
A fires burning in my stomach
As I rise I cause havoc
Nothings stopping me
Floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee
I acquired the mentality of Muhammad Ali
Why are you giving me shade?
Are you a tree?
But whats a question without an answer
Like a fish without the sea
They need each other
Like you need me

Overdose

Staring at the stars above
Should I go or should I stay
Fly away to a better day

Answer
Cypher Sep 2016
I told you I haven't smoked in a while
But now I'm gone farther than a mile
Her is my answer when they ask me why i smile
Mrs. is her answer when they ask her what's your title
But whats gonna be your answer when I tell you that I love you
And I'm always gonna love you even from the sky above you

Man In The Mirror
Cypher Jul 2016
I was there
My heart and mind is all I have to share
All jokes aside it wasn't fair
I was there
I was in fear
All love aside I wasnt supposed to be there
What's fair?
Why did I have to go there?
Unable to separate what's real and a lie
Staring at the man in the mirror how much I came to hate that guy
Surprise here comes another lie
I stopped loving so I wont cry

Meet Me In My Dreams
Cypher Jul 2017
You're the foundation of my love
With a hallway to my youth
The ceiling is caving in
You deserve to know the truth
No running water
Taking showers with bottled water
Shovel in my hand
  Im digging myself farther
Inhale then exhale
Before the bell rings
I never knew this was the type
of drama commitment brings
A dagger to the heart
Your look of disgust
Like im a first round pick
Turning out to be a bust
Now it's the middle of the summer
And my actions getting dummer
Now im feeling buried alive
Promises i couldnt keep
And the only time i get to see you is when i go to sleep
Woah
The sky never seemed so low
Im looking at her like you never seemed so close
Everything is perfect you know i love you the most
Forever here with open arms you know how i feel
I love when you meet me in my dreams
Everything's so real
Everything's so real
Baby i can hear your heartbeat
Everything's so real
We got babies sitting in the carseats
Everything's so real
Everything's so real
Everything's so real



Leave Me In Reality
Man i wish i could live in our fantasy forever
And **** reality cause then we'll never be together
In reality everyday is another battle
My mind and my hearts in a trance steadily taking collateral
Not searching for sympathy
Not trying to play victim
I keep my feelings locked in a basement
Praying the demons stay with em
In reality im lost, searching without a clue
In reality im lowkey always thinking about you
But in reality i highkey can never let you know
Cause in reality we threw everything out the window
In reality lord ive gone blind
In reality im too comfortable with not trying
In reality ive came a custom to lust another curse of mankind
And in reality two nickles dont add up to a dime
But in reality the perfect girl never gets enough time
Take a shot in the dark
Its tearing us apart
"Smite me with madness, blindness, and astonishment of heart"
Deuteronomy 28:28
Go to sleep
Wake up
Playing a game of give and take

DAMN.
Cypher Apr 2017
Countless theorys and suspicions
My only hope is to follow my intuition
What is it that im missin?
Ironic sitting by the speakers waiting for you to listen
My point you missed it
A relief im twistin
I try to ignore you and turn my shoulder
But the fire gets hotter and your heart gets colder
Too much
Too late
Too real
Too fake
I need water dyin of thirst
The worlds against me i think im cursed
I need water dyin of thirst
The worlds against me can it get any worse?
Im the worst
Driving in the valley of shawdows and death im not sure how much fuel this car has left
Nobody's left its just me
They're gone let me be
Nobody's left holding me down
They're gone cut their tie
But yet i still cant fly
To the stars to wish for one thousand wishes
Thats wishful wishing
What is it that im missing?
Im still searching to the skies im cursing
My voice echoes in the clouds and the weather worsens
Hear my voice
Know my name
Im dying of thirst
Now watch it rain

3am In Baytown
Cypher Jan 2019
Ecstasy on your tongue  
We french kiss, you love to share
Lost for the moment where time isn’t real
Whats real?
No idea but we’re searching
Get lost and stay gone
But time never shows mercy
Ecstasy on my tongue
We french kiss, i hate to share
I need to stay lost for the moment where time isn’t real
Where the pain isn’t real, where I’m numb so the feelings i don’t feel
Whats real?
Nothing for now but the thoughts creep
I gotta get lost and stay gone
I can never sleep
Ecstasy on our tongue
We used to french kiss, we used to share
We used to get lost for the moment where time wasn’t real
What’s real?
We used to question through the late night
We used to get lost and stay gone
No time left but it feels right

4 Kings & Fine Wine
Cypher Aug 2016
Up in the sky
Everything's slow
I guess that's what happens
When you mix fine wine
With dro
The 4 Kings sit at the table
Take out the brown for the green
Like the hitman for Martin Luther king
Pour another glass to act like you're fine
But what are you gonna do when you run out of wine?

The Relevant
Cypher Dec 2016
What relevant?
The message never sent
A glance at the light
But my mind never bent
It ran away
And i dont know where it went
The message never sent
A lie saying "lifes super man"
But no relevance to Clark Kent
Whats relevant?
The world beating you so bad
Even your car gets a dent*

The message never sent
In your heart lays resent
Tell me who it is
That put you in torment
Go ahead trust me
Tell me what you underwent
Well trust misrepresent...
The message never sent
Whats relevant?

Today.
Cypher Apr 2017
I walked outside today
and the sunlight jumped on me
like a child after their parents been away
The wind blows by
making the trees shake as if they're cold
The breeze of fresh air
is like a story being told
Not a cloud in sight
Just a bright blue sky
And bright green grass
Everything seems perfect
The world doesn't seem so bad

An Average Love Story
Cypher Jan 2017
A series of unfortunate events another story i made up about to be told. A series of unfortunate events now read them unfold...


Not too long ago there was a man trapped in the dark, he was lost. Until he found a lightbulb a lovely path he crossed.This isn't a love story oh no far from it see this man was made of water (
later to find out he had relations with her daughter*). How many gallons you ask eh about six. And everyone knows water and electricity quite dont mix. But they didn't care, purple in the face love was in the air. So he let the water run and she flipped the switch and their love sparked a fire, they were blind in love never once did one of them flinch. Soon the fire spread but they were too busy asking the ducks to feed them bread. Everything left is ashes and they died in the fire, i know i said this wasn't a love story but hey im a liar.

Cypher Apr 2017
Today is the day i follow my intuition
If you wanna be the best you gotta have the ambition
Today i want everything to change for the better
I know he wants your heart but girl you cant let him
Today is the day i get a piece of mind
I finally see the light, it wasnt too hard to find

You said my words brought light into a world full of darkness you said before you saw clarity the world was full of insanity you said that you were speechless staring into the mirror on your vanity cold winds blew that day i remember cause it was half a year after may but the darkness kept crawling and soon the world was pitch black again you went searching for the light but didnt know where to begin maybe in this garden with the snakes slithering through the grass they see right through you like you're made of glass pray you dont fall you might just break you cried so much the garden turned into a lake another mistake you got lost in the shadows and decided to follow a different kind of light but at least youll be smiling in the meadows everytime i read your letter i wish it was a lie

Cypher Aug 2016
They tired to put my fire out
They tried to make me doubt
Watch the fire spark
Close your eyes it's gonna get even more dark
"You're gonna be a dropout"
I know my route
Like the fire burning through my veins
Flying high like the planes
Getting high without the strains
One man's loss is another man's gains
Hold me down like some chains
Them watch them break like some waves

Maybe
Cypher Aug 2016
Maybe success isnt reachable
Maybe love isnt teachable
Im shooting for the stars
But success is out of my range
Maybe things can change
Not in this life its just too strange
Should I call?
Too late asleep you fall
My thoughts race through my mind
Ill just keep my thoughts to myself
I dont want lose someone whos
One of a kind

Steps back
Cypher Sep 2016
I don't feel like myself
I know it sounds tragic
Do you remember when my words put a spell on you like magic?
And I'm sorry to say
In the beginning we used to argue everyday
We'd promise that we wouldn't
But we would argue anyway
Going on a lifetime
I'm still blessed to say
I made you mine that may <3
I love you

Déjà vu
Cypher Oct 2016
I've seen this before
Standing here staring at a closed door
It seems as the stars hit the floor
Under my eyes the rain pours
I ran to the mirror
Looked myself up and down
Then said I don't know what to do anymore
My heart is sore
I'm seeing red like you're hitting ignore
I get deep into my thoughts and begin to explore...

Part Two
Cypher Aug 2016
I'm stuck in my ways
Time flying by
I lost track of the days
Bridge over troubled waters
The fire burning is getting hotter
You either win or lose
Constant fight with my life
I get up with only a bruise
Try and walk in my shoes
I'm a terrorist with a bomb I can't defuse
My only choice is to blowup
Then watch the fire spread like gossip

Je t’aime
Cypher Oct 2016
Goodbyes louder than baby cries
She waves her hand in the distance
She has to go even though she'll miss it
Just another broken link in a chain
Put it in a box then watch it rain
She's never felt this kind of pain
Why can't things be the way they were before
The tears begin to pour
She stays up all night hoping he'll walk back through the door
Hahaha she knows who this poems for

To be honest i dont know what happened
I thought everything was perfect then it just blackened i told you your body was a garden and i'd always be the warden the tree of life you just wanted love that sappy now i have to live with the fact that without you ill never be happy

Hey there...
I haven't seen you in a while
It's funny because when I see you I smile
Just a glance
I never stare
I feel like what you created isn't fair
Take a breath and breathe
Ignite a fire on the leaf
Lord don't keep my story brief
Even tho I haven't talked to you in days
In your name I praise
Amen...

A lesson nobody taught me
when i was younger
Is once people are broken in a certain way
They can never be fixed again
As i grew older
I saw people around me break
And eventually you start to wonder
Then you ask yourself when is it your turn or if its already happened

Have you ever felt like the color red in a black and white photo? Its like youre a puzzle piece among clueless people, they don't understand the use and reason of your existence so they bring negativity into your peace of mind, trying to turn you into something youre not, trying to distract the caterpillar from never making its cocoon and never reaching its full potential turning into a butterfly.

Im a magician with this pen
I can tell the future and what happened back then
My words are hypnotic and a bit phycotic
Every word i think i make sure to mark it
Pick my words like cotton
The apples on the tree begin to rot and
The good gone bad but never forgotten
What a sight hahah i just sit and laugh
And open up my notebook
The pen guides my hand
I dont have to look
My mind just drifts away
Thank you for reading have a good day

Questions
Cypher Dec 2016
Can i ask you a question?
Why'd you give him a test if he didn't learn his lesson?
Who else was there when aggression turned to depression?
Can i ask you a question?
Did you think i would still believe you after i saw your ****** expression?
So i sat you down like a priest waiting for your confession
You told me your story and you became an obsession
I wouldn't throw in the towel until your heart was in my possession
I gave you everything from A-z starting with affection
Can i ask you a question?
Was i wrong?

I remember...
Looking you up and down
Wondering what's your name
Wondering if you were single
And what's the reason you came
Breath taking beauty my face turned purple
I wanted you to be mine and that to be known universal
Nothings changed since then
I know we've been through alot
But to have you i'd do it all over again
Youre a trophy nobody else can win
