This heart though broken it is
Is the only thing that I have to give
My life along with material possessions
Can be stripped without discretion
That was one of my earliest lessons
And I learned it quick
God hit me so hard
To make sure it would stick
But it seems if I learned nothing else in life
But pain anguish and the english language
It's that love is too dangerous
Especially for strangers
I tought you that our first go around
Your head was in the clouds
And my feet on the ground
Now I'm looking down still earth bound
And what is this I've found
Do you hear that familiar sound?
That bird singing that familiar song
Oh I've waited so long to hear this song
Because while its playing nothing goes wrong
You recorded it put it on repeat
So now it's always on
I wish my past self was stronger
Or braver than the moster
That plagues my thoughts everyday
Direct result of learning the hard way
But none the less
I've learned what you tried to teach me
How to love
Not through words and such
But through a kiss
A hug
A look
A touch
Now knowing the rules
I've back to your school
And plopped my happy ***
Right in the front of your class
So you can't look past
When I raise my hand and ask
I love you baby
But what else do you need from me?
Because the thought of you leaving me
Doesn't sit neat for me
So if I don't have what you want
Please tell me now while I'm up front
Because though broken it is
My heart is all I have to give

Here is a riddle
For you my dear to try
I ask you but one question
And please do not lie
Tell me what this feeling is
Every time you pass me by
When you look at me
How is it I can fly
And why when I hold hands with you
Are my feet upon the sky
And how is it you can look at me
Like I am the only guy
That look is the same look
That puts me up so high
To the point where I feel
Like nothing can break our tie
I think I know the answer
So this is what I imply
I think that it's your love
That makes me powerful and spry
But how is it when I'm with you
Nothing goes awry
But this I must confess
On your love I do rely
To keep me from wishing
And hoping I will die
But I want you to say it
So I ask the question why
Why do I feel this way
Every time that you're nearby
That's my riddle to you
Now I wait for your reply

Life is but only
Just an illusion of death
So cold and lonely
As I draw my last breath
On my death bed
Reminiscing memories
Of things I said
Beautiful thoughts
Flowing through my head
Thinking of all
The right I have wronged
For the simplicity of death
Oh how I have longed
The complications of life
Made it hard to live
The lack of receptions
Made it hard to give
The way life passed me by
Kept me solitary
Even as I lay ready to die
Death mocks me
And keeps me alive
I struggle and squirm
And try not to survive
He refuses to deal
A fatal blow
He wants me to feel
The pain of death row
Now I see
The punishment
Bestowed upon me
With the end so near
All is clear
Suddenly I don’t want to die
But inevitable death
Passes me by

Through all his days
And through all his years
He caused so much pain
And forced so many tears
So no one sheds them for him
Not even his peers
And no one stands with him
As he faces his fears
What was once his mark on the world
Rubs off and smears
He stands alone
In these unknown frontiers
He tells her he loves her
And he knows she hears
But instead of relieving him
She lets him lay on the spears
While he’s crushed by the burden
Of these planetary spheres
With the flame of love
His flesh just sears
While holding up the world
His skin adheres
For all his deeds
His karma arrears
Him and his mind
Love’s racketeers
Him and his mind
The game’s pioneers
His heart and his mind
Now mutineers
As they betray him
He looks up and sneers
She ends his punishment
Because she interferes
She says I love you too
And everything clears
From his shoulders
The world disappears
Scars are left
As souvenirs
They’re reminders
In case who he was
Suddenly reappears

I have told you everything
Never have I spoke a lie
Now I watch as my truths
Make it all go awry
Everything I worked for
Whithers to die
The pedals of this flower
Now crisp with death
Crumble in my fist
As I draw a last breath
Your lies were the drought
That ate it alive
My love was the water
As it tried to survive
The ground around us
Now cracked and dried
I attempted to MAKE you love me
I should have never tried
Along with those feelings for you
That I hold inside
Love's Rose has whithered
And now it has died

Picture everyone around you
Fallen to rubble
Because you gave up
At the first sign of trouble
You fulfilled their demise
When they saw defeat in you eyes
You never know what God has in store
So never settle for less
And always strive for more
When everyone starts
To fall and crumble
Hold them up
And don’t you dare stumble
You have to have the ability
To show mental stability
Even through pure insanity
When all is dark
Be their sun
Be their strength
When they have none
When life brings
Nothing but pain
Be nothing
But their cleansing rain
So when they come to you
With the problems they’re facing
Be their salvation
When they think it’s all over
Lift them onto your shoulder
Show them strength
Until the day you die
During life’s long length
Always Smile And Never Cry

The things I would love to tell you
Can't seem to escape my lips
And it gets so intense
That it never ends
Until I make it make sense
And put it into these pens
Then let the ink leak
It will speak what I need to
'Cause I would give anything to see through
Whats deep in your mind
So I might find which side mine can reside
Truth be told I don't really have the time
Or let alone the patience
To waste away in these places
Of nothing but empty spaces
I'll tighten up my laces
'Cause I feel like if I win these races
It erases one of your two faces
And if that doesn't make this pain tasteless
I have no idea as what the case is
My sleeves have no aces
'Cause the basics are the basis
So let's make this the greatest
Just like you I'm broken in two
Beaten and bruised and feel slightly used
No one else does
Why should we play by the rules
Should we pay up our dues
Until one of us lose
Are you sure you want to choose
You look rather confused
As to who's clues are a ruse
Let me just ask my muse for some news
But if I take her and save her
Sooner or later I'm sure I will hate her
If I'm already the pen
Then you must be the paper
'Cause I get such a rush
When our fingertips touch
