Life is not made up of things.
It's made up of **moments.
It doesn't matter how much thick your pocketbook is because you still could be poor in spirit.

but can i touch yours?
By Arcassin Burnham

Search,

It took a Long time for god to show me
Who I really belong to,
I needed someone at the time to care for me,
That's when I stumbled apon you,
Beautiful eyes , and the pretty dreadlocks to match,
I was so in love,
I didn't think when we started I wouldn't become attached,
Little did I know the time would come,
Sitting here thinking to myself,
That we couldn't be friends any longer,
at least that was what I was thinking to myself,
Its ashame to know that i couldnt be more wronger,
Not in my nature to be mad at her,
I should have blame myself for everything that happen,
For dumb ignorant reasons that would occur,
Dominant with all the attackin',
Care for her in a long state of knowing her,
I was on my best behavior,
Wishing every night that me and her could rule the earth,
And I don't even wanna stay here,
The clock strikes 12 I remember her name,
With a sense of delicacy,
I search for a better way to love,
Hoping one day she'll be into me.
I was depressed when I wrote this , thinking about her again , ah why did I have to take melz side .....

I feel like i'm having a hangover when I think of your name
It's either that or I woke up on the wrong side of the bed


******, why do you always have to be in my head?

I hate the feeling of being drunk off your lips when I haven't
touched them in so long.

You drank 18 shots of ***** when I was with you.
I hope you were just trying to forget your feelings.
In a place where everything and everyone
is shallow,
your eyes alone are left with a depth to them
that no-one could have ever guessed.
In a place where hard work is an excuse
to be superior,
you value interior in a way
quite ulterior.
In a mirror you're just as good as them,
but your beauty will stem
from things other than your physicality.
It comes from the fact that you make happiness
a reality.
The totality of your devotion
to something as simple as a smile
makes every second spent with you,
instantly worthwhile.

Sure, there have been guys,
who have had their own ideas.
Used lies like a blade
to cut their way into your heart,
but you've grown wise since then.
You've been hurt before,
but your determination to stay happy
is worth more than any man could be.
I'm only around you three hours a week,
but your smile shines through any attempt I have
at keeping my attitude bleak.
If I can be completely honest,
you leave me absolutely star-struck
and it was just my luck
that I was born four years before you.

Our worlds run parallel from my view,
but the way I can connect heart and mind with you
is a treasure that cannot be reproduced.
