She Said;
What if I pulled a you on you?
What if I made you feel just as amazing as you make me do?
What if I made you feel like the King I see?
What if I gave you everything in me just like you do for me?
What if I eliminated all those doubts you had about love
& loved you regardless of the flaws you try to get me to judge
I’ve dealt with the wrong types all my life til' you came along
& made me feel like I’m above the clouds like I can’t do no wrong
When I was crying, you made me feel like your arms is where I belong
& when I thought I was weak, you made me feel like I was strong
So what if I pulled a You on You just to show you what that feeling is like
when you’ve found that One to make your world complete & ignite that light
that’s been faded out for so long to soon become afraid of the light
until something came along to remove that dark moon that provided darkness
which eventually made the sweetest heart go from being lovely to heartless
You need to know what it feels like to be appreciated, because just like me
you’ve given your everything several times but you still feel incomplete
Maybe then you’ll see the man that I see whenever I stare into your eyes
& there’s a beautiful creation within the beautiful disaster that deceives the eyes

What you know about growing up being a disgrace to your family
What you know about hiding in your bedroom cause you’re scared of the reality
knowing your dad never gave a **** about you & left you behind
but as a youngin’ in this cold world, you’re naive to the signs
So you watch thru the window or checking thru the mail for a letter or birthday card
from the one person who never said goodbye or even gave you his best regards
What you know about feeling like the laughing stock of the high school
trying to act tough like your friends but you do nothing but make yourself look like a fool
being called names everyday so at night, you think about bringing that tool
to school & unleash madness on all of those fools
who made your days hell all because they thought it was cool
to pick on the kid wearing bummy clothes & those same run down shoes
& wanting to stand up for himself but in a fight, he’ll lose
when he stands toe to toe with the bullies only to be knocked out & talked about in the news
What you know about having a razor in the right hand & a gun in the left
looking for that shoulder to lean on but you ain’t got nobody else
who gives a **** about you enough to watch your back
& although God granted you life, you beg him to take it back
so you’re on your knees every night hoping to die in your sleep
just to wake up the next morning mad because you’re able to rise to your feet
confused as to why you’re still here & not deceased
just because the good Lord didn’t end your journey even if you did say please
What you know about depression?
What you know about built aggression?
What you know about looking at your mother to realize you’re her blessing
cause you’ve never been arrested or been out late & had her stressing
not knowing if she’ll get that call to hear you’re locked up or dead
from being in the streets, mixed up with the wrong crowd, & shot in the head
by another brother filled with rage but you weren’t involved
in yet another cold case that’ll probably never be solved
What you know about looking at every other guy & wishing you was him
just because he gets attention from the ladies & they’re attracted to him
then you ask yourself, how can I be like him
dress like him or even get the ladies to like me just like him
how wear my clothes a certain way just make them smile like him
& it makes you even more jealous when you know that you’ll never be like him
What you know about writing your life in these poems
just to see if someone can feel it like they feel those heartfelt songs
to the point where they shed a tear over your words & your voice
then you think about quitting all because you don’t have that voice
to bring your writings to life so they’ll have a deeper meaning
but you know your work to serve so you keep me believing
that one day you’ll be the one to bring change
to the next soul that you’re meant to save

I’ve got these scars on my fist, invisible cuts on my wrist
never thought I’d come to a moment like this
a broken image in the shattered mirror to which I’m looking through
while crying my eyes out cause I’m thinking of you
how you were so depressed yet angry with the universe
feeling like a loner cause no soul understand the curse
of being a fatherless child while seeing your mother painfully surviving
the abuse of another broken lover from the arguments & fighting
not only from his rage but from the hatred felt from a family root
gone rotten after the death of the King & Queen that started it all
only to see a once beloved kingdom take a devastating fall
& there you was in the mix seeing it all unravel without knowing what’s taking place
trying to cope with knowing the truth years later after life turns 19
to know that everything was a lie you were exposed to as a teen
you were doubted & isolated since you come outta the womb
of the very mother that was blessed the second you came to
but her tears were imprinted in your heart & they became a part of you
So face to face as I let you go so you'll know what happiness feels like
as you carry on, no longer putting this dark cloud over your life
that makes you feel like you won’t feel peace until you’re buried
so go be happy, I can’t bring myself higher to make your future more scary

I’ve got my issues just like everyone else
feeling like it’s me against everyone else
cause I barely have love for myself
due to being stabbed by those I placed before myself
So forgive me if I seem paranoid or cautious
but we both know real love is going to cost us
especially if the one we’re investing time in
isn’t the one we’re meant to be with
You may have the best intentions but to me
I’ll still be scared before I treat you like the enemy
with my past playing these tricks on me
holding me back from accepting what it is, it won’t let me be
Living so fast that I was speeding, no brakes in sight
which in result, it leads to us having these pointless fights
then my ego comes to play telling me I’m good without you
making me feel better off alone & I start to doubt you
I’ve got issues just like everyone else
but unlike everyone else
I’m just stuck battling with myself
until I can battle with what’s wrong & get over myself

It’s been a while since you were mine, since that spotlight was mine
Since you placed your lips against, since our love last intertwined
We ended things way too early without knowing how great we could’ve been
not knowing the memories awaiting from the times we’ve yet to spend
You want us to be close but not the way I’d wish us to be
guess I’m the only one that wants to see how great we could be
I should’ve played the fool for you, should’ve went hard for you
but now I’m just forced other guys loving you
which very much breaks my heart in 2
pieces & it’s all because of you
having this illogical mindset that you do
failing to realize my heart beats because of you
so when that day comes & you’re walking down the aisle looking beautiful
staring into his eyes as he looks back at you
it’ll become my funeral when your heart says “I Do”
- Poetic Venom

I’ve hurt you more than once, you’ve hurt me more than once
We’ve had our ups & downs, our good days & our bad days
I really loved you so I let you go hoping you’d come back to me
while dealing with the sad truth to my reality
That man you met no longer exist & the new me catches you by surprise
breaking my heart with every tear that I see falling from your eyes
For every day I pray that it’s you laying next to me when I wake
holding each other in arms just to ensure the feeling of being safe
We’ve tried to love other people but coincidentally, it never worked out
making me feel as though it’s our love that we can’t do without
That heart you wanted is waiting here for you to grasp it
cause you & I both know that this love of ours is beyond fantastic
But it’s hurting me when I realize that I struck out only once
& I may not ever get the chance to prove that it’s YOU that I only see my future with
So I cry my eyes out every chance I get knowing I’ll never get the heart I’m so attached to
but nothing is more painful knowing that you’ll never understand just how much I loved you

This Heart of Mine;
has been thru the worst
from being shattered to crushed
as if each occurrence were rehearsed
which is why I have no trust
for those who claim to have interest in me
but are usually stragglers with no destination
never surprising how we go from friends to enemies
& I end up moving on with hesitation

But This Heart of Mine;
is made of Gold & twice the size of me
yet suffering from the damages of love
still a trapped object looking to be free
to be healed & unconditionally love
it grew to be stone cold but warm for the deserving
never loving with the attachments of a past love
while healing from it even when it’s still burning
