In all the weeks of your ignoring,
lack of talking,
I doubt highly
you won't recognize me
on this day of all
and wish me it spectacular.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”
-Malcolm X

I once read “The history of the world
is but the biography of great men.”
I read those words slowly, then paused
so I could take them all in

Show me a great man
and I'll show you a history of lies
historians cleansing blood from hand
muting the truth, no matter how loud it cries

The biographies of the "great" are almost always
inked in the blood of martyrs and greater men
scarring temporal lobes, and obfuscating memory
the sword, falling prey to pen


"Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings
where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws"
-Jim Morrison

That drunken buzz
was enough to make
me never want to do
that again.

God tried to warn me,
and the devil tricked me.

If our love is at the end,
then why do I still want you?

If you're looking for love
Know that love don't live here anymore
He left with my heart
They both walked through that door without me

I put you high up in the sky,
and, now, you're not coming down.

I used to believe love conquered all.

I guess I got no Valentine.
Send me roses, I'll just let them die.
I was crazy thinking you were mine,
it was all just a lie.

I meant to start a war.
And by using force,
I'm never gonna let you win.

I came in like a wrecking ball.
I never hit so hard in love.
All I wanted was to break your walls.
All you ever did was wreck me.

Don't you ever say I just walked away,
I will always want you.

We kissed, I fell
under your spell.

You left me crashing in a blazing fall.
All you ever did was wreck me.

You told me that you wanted this,
I told you it was all yours.

I'm hurting myself.

If you're done with it,
then what you say forever for?

I'm hurting myself.

If forevers out the door,
I'll ignore when you call.

Oh, it seemed like everything was going fine.
I found the love that I thought was gonna last.

You told me you were coming back,
right back.
Promised it was real and I believed that.

You acted like you wanted this,
but then you led me on.

Oh, you broke my heart
I told you I was weak for love
But then you went around
And did what you wanted to do
And now I'm crying, crying

I always knew I never wanted this;
I never thought it could happen.

But all the broken promises I won't miss,
I'm finished.
All I know are the facts
that when I look you in the eyes,
all I see are the lies.

I got a lot of nasty things flowing up in my head
But none of them are worth my time
You're not even worth this rhyme
And I don't, I don't give a flying

You left me crashing in a blazing fall.

If you knew how your actions
Are like dagger blades ******
Into the deepest parts of my soul,
Would it matter to you
To pull them out and tend the wounds
They leave behind?

Or would you turn
*Yet another blind eye?
