Binge drinking my own facade
Thinking I have gotten far
Vanity is my bud
I have rolled the blunt
Smoked and inhaled
I see thick smoke
And my life starting to vanish
I sit and see life pass me by
While enjoying the lies
Pride leads to nothing but facade and lies.get over yourself... You need God and people in your life!

Your vanity compliments mine
Your vanity complements mine
Vanity
Oh, Vanity
I am love with your design
Being full of myself is more pleasing than being with someone sometimes, but vanity leads to nothing.

My heart pounds before seeing you
But once we've met up...
My body has reached its subtle calming peak
The melatonin is released

Your soft touch
And cool hands
Send chills throughout my skin
And spark up the feeling I love
While making me want you more
Thoughts of one day finding the touch that creates a spark between us.

Tasting the sweet taste of every bitter tear
That’s swallowed up by my drowning heart
As it gasps for air
I drown it
In despair
Trying to shut out and numb its pain
I’d rather do it alone than ask for help
But my heart fights to live again
Asking to live again
Fighting to feel some pain
And FEEL again…
I was overwhelmed at the time and didn't want to cry. So, I suppressed my feelings. Then, I prayed. Felt relieved, because I was reminded that I do have feelings. Hiding them won't solve anything...

From the time we met
Till before we split
I always wanted what was best
Though our end was not the greatest
Seeing where you're at now
I feel peace
I'm glad you're doing well
May we one day meet again
Old friend...
A poem dedicated to an old friend, that showed we are okay, but don't have to speak of old things again.

These words may have been used
Several times in different
Songs
In many tones
And
Poems
But never from my own unique soul
And so I say these three little words
I love you
Learning to love people
