Abdi Salam May 2014

Detach yourself from all that's being that know you, deny them in cold like a cold blooded killer would do in a court case. distance yourself from those who love, for they are your worst and only enemy. Deprive yourself the desire to demand desperate devotion, for the devoted be your emotional undoing later in life. The one that loves me said she'd die for me, little did she know she's already dead to me. I am but a free man with no attachments and clear goals

"obsessed"

In a society full of dead poets, carpe diem became another world you fling from the tip of your tongue, it doesn't mean what it did when we were together, we used to seize the moment together. But since you've left you took my hope and will while you lay lazy using Social society to showcase your new-self, oh you lost weight, good for you, hashtag carpe diem she wrote on everything, well I'm still the same old me, still obsessed with living in the moment, still "obsessed" with you. Hey Trina you wanna know what I've been doing for the past five years while you laid low, that's right ***** I've been searching for you, you say I'm crazy, you up and leave like a day after you promise to stay forever, whose the crazy one huh?, well I finally found your new address, it only took me five years of chasing the wrong name, well I found the right one Nikki, I hope you know five years ain't nothing to me, I hope you know I'll chase you to the edge of the Atlas, dig your grave and pull your body just to be with you, cuz you belong to me. I hope you understand I'm not "obsessed" I'm in love with you. I hope you know I'm in the living room waiting in your house, been here for four hours, came through the back door, man shouldn't be that easy to do this, what you don't plan for intruders beforehand. I hope you read this letter and get a cardiac arrest and if you don't, I got a bullet for your *** *****!!

Known Strangers

Long journey ahead on dirt road, Dust fills the paths can't see past it, the suns heating our heads, two hot heads on path of destruction. She's so weak and tired, I give her the last sip of my water, though she's got a bottle in her bag I don't know about, thought I knew her so well.

We hear voices telling us which paths to take we turn but there's no one there to help, as end of the dirt road nears the dust gets stronger by the step, we can't see ahead we are walking visionless, I endanger myself to keep this dying flame alive, I try and try but comes the end of the road where we departed, becoming strangers and faded Memories to existence that once was.

What Is Pain

Pain is watching your kids walking to school but you can't say hi, pain is being broke as your kid's birthday come up, pain is knowing you can't give him the present you mustered up for him with what little you had, pain is the lonely nights in the dark with a bottle in your hand as you embrace death.

Ending

I lay their frightened of what will come next as she walks over dragging her enormous axe on the concrete floor, the morning sun glimpsing off of the silver handle, with every step she takes towards me her shadow grows larger and with every step she takes towards me I see my life flashing before my eyes, she takes a swing, cuts me open, she reaches for my heart with her colossal hands and her towering anger she rips out my heart and crushes it as my memories and happiness fades with me gone into the abyss that is her cruel love.

The Beast in the Beauty

As I lay there thinking about what could never be, I realized it wasn't meant to be, As I lay there dreaming about her soft skin, beautiful lips and brown eyes hair so long it touches her thighs, As I lay there thinking about how beautiful she was I realized I was blind to her personality, As I lay there I visualize the barbaric behavior she portrayed how beastly she behaved, As I lay there i comprehended that it was her very essence to be crude than I understood, As I laid there thinking about what could never be I realized there was a brutal beast deep in her beauty.
