No way in hell
Derek Wings Nov 2015
I can't go back
To how we were
Maybe back to our first kiss
But no way in hell
Can I go back to anything before

Eden
Derek Wings Oct 2016
He was adam
She was eve
A taste of the forbidden fruit
Then he was made to leave

Formal
Derek Wings May 2014
At the bottom of a box
laid a question
for the woman i chose
and top of that
laid a single rose

i knew the moment you looked in my eyes
you would be my date
this isnt something that just happened
not an act of fate
but a choice i had made

i decided right then and there
that you would be mine
they said she's a freshman
but i didn't mind
she's beautiful cute and adorable
and even though i may not get a cooler*
im a fool For her

so i invite you to spend this night with me
as if to travel to a different world
walk through this portal
the question at the bottom of the box
Formal?
*Formal dates traditionally make a cooler for the man

Destiny
Derek Wings Oct 2016
I'm enraged by the mistakes I made
Like trying to kiss you while you were still engaged
That cost me everything that I could of had
Cause after that you were so mad
now theres no going back
I see you with someone new
And there's nothing I can do
except watch you from a distance
Always reminded of that instance
That changed our fate
Oh the irony that your name is destiny
Cause i feel like life is testin me
I want to fight for you
But It just wasnt meant to be
I'm detained in my brain
By all the things that could be gained
So by this simple fact I am pained
Simply put
You're not preordained

as quickly as you said hi

The man i was
Derek Wings May 2014
What would you think of me
if you  knew about my past
every mistake and bad decision
do you think we would last
would it affect your vision  
if you knew about every choice ive made
would you be too afraid

what would you think of me
i wonder
would you think me less of a man
if you knew everything
that made me who i am

how can you expect me to open up
somethings, i can tell you now
will bring doubt of character
so my question is how
how can i tell you
when i'm afraid to lose you

What if i've cheated on a woman
opened up someone else's mail
What if i've even been to jail
how much judgement would you hold
if was so bold
to tell you about the old

if i say that the old me dies
when you look in my eyes
how would you feel about me
old or new
which man would you see
i question what would be your view
if you knew
the man i was
before i fell in love

Reality check
Derek Wings Aug 2016
Be careful of those clouds
On which you stand
when reality hits
There's no telling where you will land

Then why can't I
Derek Wings Nov 2015
You have made it very clear
but for some reason I can't hear
when I look in your eyes
no burning fire only little white lies
its so easy to see
you don't have for me
what I have for you
so if this is true
and i completely understand

then why can't I accept it?

When i see you
Derek Wings Oct 2015
I guess what hurts the most
While I still can't believe
While I still greave
And certainly can't achieve
You were able to move on
And I have this painful happiness
When I see you having fun

Family
Derek Wings Jul 2016
i ****** up
i made some mistakes
i lost some friends
and did it again
over and over again
until in the end i had no friends

cause the ones still here with me
i call FAMILY

Morning thoughts
Derek Wings Oct 2015
I woke up this morning
After weeks of letting it go
I woke up in mourning
After weeks I havnt let it go
"Does it even matter?"
To me yes
To you no
241 · May 2014
Even Though
Derek Wings May 2014
I can see the future
i can see where this leads
And pain and regret
is all I see
but if i can ease your pain
even if just for a short while
ill take it all away
i would rather have had the chance
than nothing at all
this is my choice
so let me hold you
even though this ends in me being hurt
let me be your comfort

the biggest one
Derek Wings Oct 2015
I don't want to see you with someone else
but your heard about something
that I did a while back
and its pointless to try and explain
that I'm done with that
It would be impossible
at this point to tell you how I feel
because there's know way
you would believe it for real
Its time for me to pay for every mistake that I make
and letting you go
is the biggest one
234 · May 2014
why
Derek Wings May 2014
why
This is the type of night
Where i can think with ease
Soothing and cool
As I lay on my back
a soft gentle breeze
asking questions of the stars
i even look to mars
as i stare in the sky
i sit and wonder
why?
221 · May 2014
I would
Derek Wings May 2014
If i could make you happy i would
If i could make your pain go away i would
if i had to give you my happiness and take on your pain i would
i would gladly make that trade
and it would be the best decision i have ever made

On My Mind
Derek Wings Nov 2015
I fall asleep with my phone in my hand
Waiting to hear from you
When I wake up in this world of land
First thing is did I hear from you?
Your always on my mind
because even in the time in between
You're in my dreams

Our Song
Derek Wings Nov 2015
A song never meant so much
Until it came true
And happend to perfectly describe
Me and you

Oh the irony
It was a song I showed to you
And after you sang the words
They came true

So now we can both sing along
And I wish we never did it
And I wish we never loved it
And I wish I never fell so deep in love with you
And now it ain't no way we can be friends
Reference:  trey songz-  can't be friends

I thought you would be the one
that was willing to wait
but it seems even for you
I take too long

Growth
Derek Wings Oct 2021
The level of self control I have..
Is ridiculous
Like I am sick of it
I don't want to admit it
But the **** I do is dumb as ****
I keep doing the same thing
Over and over again
Like it's gonna be different
When am I gonna get a grip of it
and be bigger than it
And admit that I'm not bigger than it
I got to admit it has control of me
And I can't be me until
I let it be me none of me
Cause it's controlling me
Where I go,  what I do
And what I say and what im gonna be
If I want to change
It's about I start doing **** differently

And it all starts with me

— The End —
