A four letter word,
seems so easy to say
filled with pain and sorrow, nothing more
or happiness and joy, nothing better.
for me it has only stood for
problems and missed signals
lack of passion and virtue
lies and broken promises
nothing more. nothing less.
just a four letter word
that so many others said in vain
no longer holding any weight.
so unmeaningful. so dull
a word used as an excuse
for things we don’t respect
to pursue after something for ourselves
pleasure, people, ***
overused, underrated
and spoken every day
some forget, it's not just a word
it's a feeling that is as alive
as the people who share it.
for those who really know you,
the ones you care about,
dream about. can't breath without
require no words,
our actions speak more truth
than one word could ever stand for

Dead skin on the flesh of your halo
Drunk love on the breath of an angel
And you breathe like you had life trapped in your lungs
And you wanted escape, and I wanted to take
Every thought from your mind and just throw it away
As I've watered you've grown
I've deflowered your soul
You a seed that I planted with a thought of a rose
And I thought I'd impose if I ever had the energy
And I would save somebody if I ever had the memory
I cleared up some space and invited you in
You were brown and I tried to make you violet again
And I brought out the sun and the violence of wind
And I tore off your thorns and they died in my skin
And I watched you, become beautiful
It's funny what the dirt does, when it's suitable
I don't mind being April's fool
The flowers came when the rain made you
Honest hours having spent with few
But I'll be April's fool for you
But my first mistake was thinking it was easy
And that you'd love me if I really let you see me
Deep thoughts in the abyss of your brain cells
One shot to wherever your pain's held
And it became something I'd never seen before
And now my heart too small to beat for anything but yours
Though my perception's is varied as your shade change
And the burdens gettin heavier than weight gain
And we kept swallowing the sun until the shade came
And kept on knockin on the clouds until we made rain
All the flowers in the garden share the same range
And a rose by any color share the same name
But I love you in a way that will not cease
Cause you're hideous in ways I cannot see
I don't mind being April's fool
The flowers came when the rain made you
Honest hours having spent with few
But I'll be April's fool for you
If we take the flowers stem and walk into the rainbow
Remember to water them and watch how quickly they grow
But as quick as clouds come in and drown them in the rain
And a rose grew from the concrete with a heartbeat
And I took you to the grass and made its bed
Then I bathed you in my love until you sprouted
And I'll never get the thought out of my head
I'm April's fool
To be clear I did NOT WRITE THIS. It is an amazing song called "April's Fool" By Angel Haze.  Listen here: https://play.spotify.com/track/7pNC1STQ6wu68zCFvxQWHB

Am I the one that you should fear,
You only gave me a small part,
Or is it you whom I should fear,
I gave you my whole **** heart.

You gave me a small dark corner,
I cleaned it and called it home,
The heart that you moved into,
Was ten times the size of Rome.

You conquered the kingdom and brought the empire down,
While I looked the other way,
And when the time arrived for me to stand up,
I was but king for a day.

I gave you all you asked for ,
but still you needed moore,
I never asked for anything,
Except you, to be there for.

You waged a war against my love ,
You held me at the gate,
Swords and daggers at my throat,
As I succumb to your Checkmate.

That empty place
THE DARKNESS
you are so scared of
that is the place your ego dare not go
THE DARKNESS
That empty place
that you've avoided for so long
THE DARKNESS
where your mask and words
will no longer protect you
Naked and vulnerable
simply the thought of
THE DARKNESS
overwhelms you
so scared you'll be alone in
THE DARKNESS
but, you won't be.

For it's
THE DARKNESS
where you will find yourself.

Take what you need,
and then throw out the rest,
except for my heart,
that belongs in my chest ....

I'm not sure if it's broken,
it's been silent for days,
he just sits there in silence,
with a blank empty gaze ....

This isn't the first time,
although it may be the last,
that I pick up these pieces,
able to brush off the past ....

Cut open this heavy heart,
to reveal nothing inside,
it's just a cold hollow shell,
where the best parts of us died....

Drowning porcelain, so easily broken.
Butterflies paralyzed and displayed for their beauty.
A tally of forgotten days and an abundance of perplexing bruises.
Inner turmoil, "who are we?"
Temptation, a rapturous slow death.
A confusing journey that never was.
The memory of those men remain.
The men who rush to clean everything up,
the men who give you your "treats", blind you,
bind you and take you away.
Distrust, paranoia, anger, hatred - lonely sadness.
Another day.

Stitch in your memories now
And you don't know how
You're gonna get it out

Heart crushed under heavy chest
Trying to catch your breath
But it always beats you by a step

All right now
Make the best of it
Play the hand you get
When you're heart is sore
And the tears they pour
Like a willow bending with the storm
you'll make it

Running against the wind
It's the hardest thing trying to forget
Something is bound to give
There's hope for the hopeless
You're not alone in this
