Whats to Gain?...
Corey M Roberts Jul 2011
There you are, right here the entire time
How foolish of me to not realize your mine
My hope, my dreams, my life divided
Always right here in my heart, resided
Stealing the hurt, stealing the pain,
Too blind of me to realize the gain…

All In Good Time
Corey M Roberts Mar 2011
"True love lies within the fringes of insanity and bliss"
Yeah, I wrote that, while I was thinking of your kiss
So sweet, so succulent, forever mine
For all of eternity, all in good time

It’s said, absence makes the heart grow fonder
Before I see you, I whine and ponder
Torn am I, the mystery of your face
We're the perfect combination of leather and lace

Like a blank canvas, white with no paint
At first glance, knees buckle, and I faint
Speechless, I can produce no sound
Just in awe, in you I finally found

But in all reality, this is just a dream
Fantasy land, or so it would seem
Wishful thinking, the evidence doesn’t exist
But eye’s closed, your voice persists

Haunting and taunting every deep thought
All the past battles I so carelessly fought
The broken road that will one day lead to you
Has left me jaded, so faded, and cautious too

These feelings in songs I’ve committed to write
In hopes that one day you’ll read my plight
Give me a chance, to start a new life
In hopes that one day, I’ll make you my wife

Become my best friend, my partner in crime
Help me write songs, with a new sense of rhyme
Paint the blank canvas, with vibrant colors of our heart
Through lessons of the forgotten, we'll make a new work of art

Through dreams rekindled from the depths within
The start of a masterpiece, we’ll soon begin
So read, re-read, and then read them again
Understand who I am, my heart, my sin

So I Fight...
Corey M Roberts Mar 2011
Do you really know what its like to feel your heart pleading?
God forbid you know what it’s like to feel it bleeding
These memories of better times, the gentle touch of your kiss…
Our conversations of love and life, Our friendship, bittersweet, I miss…

So many things still left for you to hear
Sealed away in the base of a single tear
Tear’s filled with a 1,000 dreams
Meaningless to you, gone… they seem
Watching them shatter as they keep hitting the floor
All the hopes and wishes, forever, no more

Yeah, I try not dwell
But sometimes it’s hard not to feel it swell
My mind races, and I feel like I’m in hell
My Stomach aches, No, I don’t feel very well

And yet, while I fight this constant endless battle
You pride this... silent... fake.... "happiness" saddle
No, don’t you look up, not even once
Not even for a second, cause I’m just a dunce

A fool, a clown, pointy hat and frown
Seems like everyone is laughing, the whole **** town
No sense of mercy, will I struggle, tread, and drown
It feels as though I’m already 6 feet under the ground

Was it wrong to love you?
Is it wrong to hate you too?
Was it right to let you go?
Something I’ll never know

So I fight…

I fight…

And I fight once more…

I fight these feelings while you keep slamming the door
I fight this pain that keeps reaching to my core
I fight this... this... hatred... these thoughts, “*******! *****!”
And I try to fill this crater in my heart with him you quietly, and selfishly bore

All I really want from you is to forgive and forget
Peace, in the words “I’m sorry” with out any regret
Peace in “I’m happy for you” and “you have my best wishes”
Peace in knowing you cleaned all those *****, ****** up dishes

Maybe then I’ll be able to shave off these warts and moles
Stop concerning myself with the hatred and start focusing on new goals
Find someone new, who will appreciate everything I have to give
Find someone whom the rest of my life, unlike with you, I can happily live

So consider this my white flag, girl, I give up, you win
Cause if trying wasn't enough, what ever would have been?

I Try to Tell Myself
Corey M Roberts Feb 2011
The smell of your perfume still lingers on my chest
Taunting and tormenting my every deep breath
Bittersweet, it saturates my marrow
The love lost in the endless waves of pain and sorrow,

Everything I thought true love should and could have been,
Has been swept away, in what seems like a 100 mile an hour wind
Into the relentless currents, and depths of blue sea
Would nothing have stopped it dear? Not even one knee?


"To suppress this pain i'm feeling
I Try to tell myself, Believing isn’t seeing
It's just a part of one’s self being,
They say true love is never fleeing
But baby, for you, my heart is pleading"


Staring out into the vast emptiness laid out before me
Searching for a reflection, or glimpse of what use to be
Your picture with him, crushing my soul, my fee
Woman, If only the pain in my heart you could see

I promise you, I’m the first one to tell you “I Love You
You’re the only one whom I grew wings, jumped, and flew
Though I know I’m not fortunate enough to be your last
I know with him you don’t have our memories or past.


"To suppress this pain i'm feeling
I Try to tell myself, Believing isn’t seeing
It's just a part of one’s self being,
They say true love is never fleeing
But baby, for you, my heart is bleeding"


More than just a dream, or the fanciest of feeling
It was my true self, your love was revealing
A man I either forgot or never knew existed
A man you would have known, if only you would’ve persisted

But just when I needed you the most
You faded away, your touch… a ghost
Leaving me standing here, cold, alone
Wondering,
Can you still smell the bitter-sweetness of my cologne?


"To suppress this pain i'm feeling
I Try to tell myself, Believing isn’t seeing
It's just a part of one’s self being,
They say true love is never fleeing
But baby, for you, my heart is healing"

Just Breathe...
Corey M Roberts Feb 2011
Making love with you….
Primitive, passionate, incredible
Hot, sweaty, messy, vulnerable
Flesh against flesh,
Souls begin to mesh...

Our heart’s in sync
Just me and you tonight,
Trust me
Relax, no need to see
Close your eye's,  
And come away with me


Just breathe...


Slip away into the night
Our existence, out of sight
Let the world disappear,
In a glimpse of heaven,
Our souls re-appear
Time stands still,
Against the evil worlds will
You, my love potion
Feel it in our motion

Make tonight last forever,
Your lips, the grace of a feather
Feeling our rhythm,
Feeling our grind
I am yours and you are mine


Just breathe….


Putting Karma Sutra to shame,
By letting instinct play the game,
Keep ur eye's closed
Now can u see?
Every inch of you, caresses me…
Ur texture, Like satin on my bare skin
Tonight, make forever begin

Hurt me, feel the passion...
Gently kissing the side of your neck
I nibble, caress and peck

My back, your nails, a must
Throwing out doubts and questions of lust
Moan, moan, moan,
It's not our bodies,
But our hearts we each own


Just Breathe...


Heart can’t take it,
Breathing becomes a fit
Overflowing with love,
Wrapped tight around me, a glove
guiltless, overwhelming, pleasure
Feelings so intense, no words can measure
Create new life, we become one
Forever, has only just begun

Holding each other,
Exhausted,
I whisper "I love you"
Both of our hearts pounding
I love you too...


Forever, Just Breathe….

Jesus
Corey M Roberts Feb 2011
I think I’ve murdered you twice
Blamed you for all the wrong throughout my life
I’ve screamed at you
Heck, I’ve chucked a few things too
I’ve even spoke harshly behind ur back
Yet no matter what, ur presence never lacks

You’ve helped me through a lot bad
lifted me up when I’ve felt all but sad
You make me humble when times are good
And give me grace when I feel misunderstood.
For no one knows me as well as you
And now it’s time to pay my due

My destiny is now laid out before me
Your peace, your love, your kingdom, my goal
Help me to become who you want me to be
Heal my heart, and comfort my soul

So Heavenly father, please have mercy on my sins
Fill me with your spirit and make my heart whole
One life dies, with you, I'm ready, another begins...

Driveway Confessionals
Corey M Roberts Feb 2011
Sitting here alone, memories of our past keep coming to my mind
Good times, fun times, all of which, to my heart were so kind
Memories, so hard to replace, let alone come to find
Just knowing you existed always had my heart in a bind

Do you remember when I would call you late at night?
Your mom would pick up, I would be worried… but in the end was alright?
And even if it wasn’t we’d talk anyway, sometimes out of smite.
“Hang on for just one second let me turn out my light”
Even in the innocence of youth, for some reason it just felt so right

Sometimes we would talk for hours, most, till nights end
Sometimes just to hear each others voices, or our shoulders we would lend
It was almost like we’ve always known each other, a long lost childhood friend
Often hard to say goodnight, hearing your voice was something I didn't want to end
All the while my heart secretly wishing, the rest of my life with you I could spend.

For your beauty is comparable to the deepest, darkest, of blood red roses,
Your faith parallel to that of the holiest of kings and Moses’
Your spirit, could have been Mozart’s best symphony, yet to compose
But even with the hours spent writing this, my true feelings for you, no words or poems disclose
Just know, the most influential of love poets in history, their spirit, this poem encloses

More times than I can remember, intermittently, we would talk in your driveway
From what was going on in our lives, to the crazy things we did that day
Mostly the broken hearts obtained from others, the depth of your eyes, always my runaway.
And through the advice you’d give on faith and hope, as well as the inspirational things you’d say
You found the key to unlock my heart, a door, the ultimate unknown secret passageway

But when it truly mattered most, I was afraid to tell you exactly how I felt
Unparalleled and unworthy of you, no other choice, and to my knees I knelt
As much as it hurt, I knew, being "friends" was just something I was dealt
Seeing you love and happy with others, all of which to my soul was a belt
However, your smile alone (even if it wasn’t from me) always had a way of making my heart melt

So before you turn your back, and head out towards the sunset
Leaving me only memories locked forever in the un-detailed, cold, darkness of your silhouette
Know that out of everything that ever came between us, there is only one thing I regret...
Not telling you all of this sooner, maybe then, Me… you wouldn’t forget.

This is the reason...
Corey M Roberts Feb 2011
*******,
She spoke to me
It's because of this I can finally breathe
A past full of pain but so much love
It was hard to let go, but finally gave hate a shove
What are we to do now?

This is the reason I'm in wow....

She use to hate me, barely even look at thee
But now it seems the pain is gone
So much, in my head, is going on
What am i to do?

This is the reason I'm asking you....

Should i tell her how i feel?
Or should i just work on keeping it real?
Wait for her to call again?
It was this, why it all began...
I don't wanna ruin it
I can't deal with this ****...
what to do now?

This is the reason I'm asking how....

Go away...
Corey M Roberts Feb 2011
Will this horrible pain ever go away?
Was I right to let her go?
Or should I have fought harder to get her to stay?

Why is love so bold
So beautiful, so strong
Yet when it feels like my heart is finally sold
It ends up feeling so empty and wrong
Given to a person who doesn't seem to care.
But when it counts, I'm left here always wondering where...

Where to go from here,
While I cry and shed my endless  tears
Tears of hope, tears of  sadness...
Tears of gladness and tears of madness

Am I loosing my mind?
Maybe I'm going crazy?
Why is it I'm so loving and kind?
Why is the love I receive always so hazy?

I know that she loved me,
It truly felt as though she set my soul free
But now that she's gone, and left my side
These feelings and emotions I no longer can hide.

This bitterness I never knew she had
Her true colors, so hurtful, so sad
In some ways I guess I'm kinda glad?
So today, I finally blow the horn
No longer her smile, my soul she will adorn
I guess that's why they say; "every rose has it's thorn"

Love
Corey M Roberts Dec 2010
What is Love?
Is it an intense feeling of affection?
Or, an intense feeling of connection?
truly bound by souls, heart and mind
Love is patient, and love is kind,
Love keeps records of no wrongs
And is expressed by beauty of poetry and songs

Love has its way of setting the spirit free,
A friendship on fire for the entire world to see
It is filled with indescribable passion
Displayed by gestures, and kind acts of compassion
Love is forever, never to be dissolved
Its issues, through laughter are always resolved

It is tangible through bold acts of ****** desire
Untamable emotions, vulnerability on fire
Two become one, consuming each other’s heart,
In images more beautiful than the finest works of art
Breath taking feelings of guiltless pleasure and hope
Bound through eternity, never to elope
Continued on through creation of new life
The ultimate goal of husband and wife

Love is strong, and not for the weak hearted
Every day, is a challenge, therefore uncharted
It is carried on through life and death
Far beyond each partners final breath
It is the true essence of life and existence
Something every heart seeks with agony and persistence
If your lucky enough to experience this true worth
Then you’ve unlocked the greatest mystery of both heavens and earth.

Where are you?
Corey M Roberts Dec 2010
I need a woman
A lover, a teammate
A play-maker, a star,
Better than Notre Dame’s “Golden Tate”
I promise to take you just the way you are
Just promise me you’ll help me with what’s on my plate

Dont need no one night stand, or a fling
I need someone who will assist in lifting me up
While helping me to spread my wings
Someone who my heart you will corrupt
Someone who deep down will make my heart sing

In return I’ll give you a love that is true
From the depths of my heart that much I can promise you.
I swer that my love will always be right on par
Till death do us part, I’ll never be that far

As age gets the best of us, our wrinkles be our fate
I promise you not another woman I will even think to date
For in my heart you will always remain
My one and only, my life will sustain

I know your out there somewhere
Not having you is something my heart can not bare
I know your thinking the same thing too
So hurry up! I can’t wait to start loving you.

She loves me?
Corey M Roberts Dec 2010
No words can describe how much she means to me
Its more than you'll ever know, experience, or see
She changed me for the better in so many ways
Only to find out that she wasn't going to stay

Off to a new life, one without me
Taking back her heart along with it's key
Every time I think about her my heart fills with plea
I hope that she's as happy as she seem to be

Oh how I miss her it hurts so much
Oh how I long for the sense of her touch
It's been so long Ive forgotten how it feels
But I'll never forget the memories or reels

So many memories in such little time
I cant help but to keep hitting rewind
Over and over to find out where I went wrong
Over and over trying to understand the song

A song of hope a song of tears
A tedious song, like Ive heard it for years
Where she real or was it a dream
Was it as good/bad as she made it seem?

Did she love me or did she not,
Or maybe she did and she just forgot?
These are the questions that have been on my mind
******* it, she was one of a kind

To let her go has so much pain
Like I've been abandoned and left out in the rain
Leaving my heart to wither and rot
I guess its as the saying goes,
"She loves me?.... She loves me NOT"!

Angels
Corey M Roberts Dec 2010
Angels come and angels go,
some are as beautiful as first winters snow.
But when one grabs onto your heart
letting go is the hardest part.

Her voice is soft , fills me with so much passion
Her beauty churns my heart into fashion.
Her face is sweet, nothing but beauty from head to feet.
Her lips are tender and skin baby smooth,
When we kiss my heart is soothed.

As waves crash and mountains crumble,
Angels like her god will rarely fumble.

How lucky am I to have found one he did,
She makes me feel just like a kid.
A feeling I have so longed to feel
A feeling thank god is real.

The Poet of My Heart
Corey M Roberts Dec 2010
As I sit here alone and limber
She rages inside me like burning timber
Uncontrollable and yet contained
Locked deep in my heart, bound, and chained
Lost and alone I can’t help but feel
A part of my soul, my achilles heel.

Overwhelming filled with so much passion
Confused and abused, without compassion
Plaguing my heart, consumed with aggression
To release her has become my obsession
Emptied of life, I feel like a ghost
Like a starving parasite she still clings to her host

A countless, pathetic victim of unrequited love
Star crossed lovers, set forth from above
A criminal of hope, locked forever within his cell
Drained and hollowed nothing left but shell
A slave of loneliness, despair, and sorrow
Impossible to imagine the happiness of tomorrow

The mother of my love, the killer of your heart
Her flame is what keeps me alive
Rebuilding my heart, so that one day I’ll thrive
Learning how to re-channel all of this pain
Licking my wounds and grooming my mane
Through her I’ve found new way’s of expression
My demise, I refuse to be her repression
So here she is, in full glory
Finally released, to spill my heart’s story

— The End —
