I want to save her
Wisk her away everyday
Fly off into the sunset
Just for the reward of kisses and hugs
That's what I strive for
Every second every hour
I'm the one she can count on
But as time goes by
This suit I can't put on
My cape carried away by the wind
I want to be her hero
Jump infront of that bullet
Give my life for her
I missed my chance
Guess I'm not right for her
I gladly die and fight for her
Thought I was superman
But dreams dont always come true
I wanted to save who?
You
devante moore May 2015
You ain't no damsel in distress
I might have saved you once
But I retired this S on my chest
I tried to love you
But your just kryptonite In a Sunday's dress
You might have been the one once a midnight dream
But I get my power from the sun
So go out and have fun don't worry about me
No more saving hearts
Not everything in superman can heal as fast as my body parts
Your blue eyes were my weakness
My love for you was like a nerds love for comic con
I would've held a ton of bricks to help you cross this bridge
But now I'm tearing it down
With a gust of wind from within
Loving you has changed me
I'm not the superman I use to be
devante moore Jun 2023
The result of being loved wrong
Made me feel superficial
Betrayed by to many Lois Lanes
Turned my heart super cynical
The realization I wasn’t made of steel
Small cuts stretched until they become wounds
Seems I’ve lost my super healing
Tried to find strength in others
Instead of the sun
But no one ever ask how I’m feeling
I use to try to be the difference
But now it’s more like forget it
I’m finished
Can’t you tell by the cape that’s been torn
devante moore Feb 2015
She says she loves me
But the meaning is artificial
Like a prosthetic leg
To help her walk again
She clears her throat ready to talk again
But the I love you doesn't reach me
I'm to busy shooting harpoons at the moon
Trying to reel it in
With the recycled words she gave me
Fishing for her love
Only to have the bait stolen
By the hate I harbor within
It trickles to the surface
Leaving behind evaporated acid in the air
I wear her I love you
But it cracks easily like cheap leather
Turns brittle in the cold weather
Flacks off and disintegrates before touching the ground  
But I still love it when she says I love you
devante moore Apr 2016
An explosion of cherry
Erupted when we kissed
As we embraced each other
My heart raced
And it was just you an me
In this place
In this world
In this universe
But now it lost its taste
devante moore Jan 2015
Where did this salty substance come from
I haven't seen this in years
These tears
They over flow out of the ducks from which there stored
But I fight trying to hold them back
Long enough from them to drain back in
Where the belong
Behind the folds of my eye lids
Every once in awhile they show up again
This time the burden was to much
The hurt was to strong
They creep to the surface
Like an unbound spring
And they sit at the boundary
Peaking over the edge
Until one has the courage to leap off
Into an unknown territory so it latches on an eye lash afraid to let go
But slowly it looses its grip
Then free falls
But the rest choose the safe path an climb down my cheek
They descend slowly, carefully
And as they reach the end of the path
They detach
And who knows were they'll end
This is the last time I'll tear up again
devante moore Jun 2020
Hearts turned to stone
How can we leave this alone
Excuse me if I riot
To long have we been kept quiet
Waited long enough
It’s time to replace pleads with distress
Love couldn’t conquerer hate
Branded criminals
In a glance
I fear no repercussions
Of this distruction
It might not be the right way
But peacefulness couldn’t come with me today
So your walls I spray
Blacked out
Your glass I shatter
Let it crumble beneath my feet
Let your building fall to ash
To angry to ask
It’s time to take
devante moore Aug 2015
He wasn't a gambler
Anything risky with his heart he didn't take
Feelings compromised by false mistakes
All the chips he has
Kept safe
To selfish to place them on the table to play
Past bets almost emptied his bank
Lessons taught him what you lose isn't greater then what you gain
Always rolled snake eyes
Seven or elevens he didn't see
Until one day
He met the one
Promises of love brought out his chips
Now he was back in the game
At the gambling table
Chips in a neat row
But one by one they started to go
Every roll or a play of cards
He start to see she wasn't what he wanted
He lost more then what he wanted to get
Her promises of love
Didn't win him any chips
She was a counterfeit
devante moore Mar 2024
Were they startled?
How quickly they departed
Feathers now occupy the space they left
Gently falling
Like confetti
The sound of their fluttering wings
Like heart palpitations
Quickly fading the further away they fly
Silent wishes for them to return
But their disperse
Let’s me know it’s not safe here  
Should I flee
And escape the dang- “come back to bed”
She tells me
Before I can finish the thought completely
Just this last time
devante moore May 2018
The Good
Promises of ever lasting happiness
Two beings intertwined by faith
“It’s destiny”
You constantly remind me
Dreams of me and you
I was a lonely flower
Never watered
Never nurtured
Until you walked into my garden
Placed me in your hand
Planted me on fertilized land
I accepted your love
Finally we were good
Maybe to good to be true
Two people in love
On a mission
To prove to each other, our love was true

Bad
But doubt was never far behind
It stood back at a distance
Watching
Waiting for the perfect time
For it to invade my mind
It crept into my thoughts
Switched wires
Pushed the wrong button
Flipped on random switches
Made me believe
You’d never love me
What if you leave
What if this is all a lie
I don’t think this is meant to be
But you were diligent
Determined to prove your love
You’d fight to the death
And wouldn’t rest
Caught a case of the love bug

Ugly
Where’d you go ?
We can make it
But you were a no show
You’re gone
Left
Without a reason
Without a trace
Now I’m haunted with memories
Tortured by Visions of your smiling face
And your greens eyes
What happened to us?
Where did it go wrong
I believed every word you said
Hung on every I love you
Like lyrics from a song
I was prepared to hand you my heart
Gift wrapped it
Shipped it to you
I guess I was wrong
Now I sit here
Sad and stuck
Friends tell me to move on
Others say **** it up
Pain heals with time
You’ll get over it
But how can I forget someone that just vanished
devante moore Feb 2015
He was hung here
Strung up here at this tree
Rope burns imbedded in its branches
From its past memories
So many went before him
Not for a crime
But from a hate crime
And he just wanted to be free
Walk among the streets
Like a normal human being
But instead
He was picked on  
Hit on,kick on and spit on
They didn't care
They gathered around
Laughed an cheered as he hung
Pushed his body an watched as he swung
Still kicking
Eyes blood shot from the lack of breathing
And as the rope tore into his neck
His own kind watch from a distance with respect
Watching the rope stretch his neck  
Hung six feet off the ground
For you an me
But how much has the world changed from he
What's free
Cause I see nooses tied around an tree for you an me
devante moore Mar 2015
More meaningful then the first
But it will be the one that hurts the worst
The last I love you will be me removing the memory of you from this earth
Burying it six feet deep beneath the dirt
Hopefully masking the pain
The last I love you is a bad dream that haunts me
It's a plague in my brain
I want to be cured from this disease
The first time a way to keep you
Frontal lobe drunk on the thoughts of you
Contemplation was there
The voice in my head
You should say it
Wait no, it's too soon
Plus your going away today
Just say it then walk away
A goodbye in disguise
Saying it the first time is hard enough
Like a frog in my throat I just can't cough up
Gagging on the words
Thick out of my mouth
Like swallowing syrup  
I can see I can no long keep you
The last I love you will be the day I release you
devante moore Jul 2018
Most people say
“You don’t know what you have till it’s gone”
That isn’t true
We know exactly what we have
We just never think it’ll leave
And then we try and make up for how we treated that thing we had
And most of the time it’s to late
devante moore May 2018
I ran to the moon
I heard she was good at giving advice
Should I love her with all my might ?
To my surprise
She replied
Why are you asking me
I am but a lonely rock
Trap in a slow dance
And the only time I’m noticed is at night
I do not know what it means to love
I can only imagine what’s it like
All I can say
Love someone who will cherish you even in the dark
Why don’t you go ask the sun

So to the sun I went
Should I love her with everything I have?
But the sun ego was just to bright
He strutted his rays
Polluting the air waves
I demand he answer me
And with a smug look on his face
He said
Love someone who isn’t afraid to get burned by your pain
Why don’t you go ask the ocean

So I traveled to the sea
Stood at the foot of his crashing waves
Should I love her even if she’s far away
There’s no distance to great
He said calmly as the summers breeze
If she’s not willing to fight through my tides
Hide your heart
Because it only means she doesn’t have to patience to nurture it
If it should ever fall apart
Love someone who’s willing
To become stranded with you
So you both can be saved
devante moore Dec 2019
I don’t want to fight
Or be at war
But you
You drew you sword
Ready to charge
Contempt in your eyes
You rather us shed blood
Just to protect you pathetic lies
And there I stand
Pen in hand
Fueled by anger
Slowing pulling me under
Hate building in my heart
Eye swollen
Because of the inability to cry
You’ll never know how I feel
Unless I put them between the lines
Ive alway hid how I feel
But even faced by your steel
I still
Rather write my truths
Pass them on
Then directly expose my secrets to you
Hypocritical
Blamed you
Like I’ve done no wrong
I could at least commit them to paper
But you chosen to slash
And split my skin
Then expose what you’ve kept within
And even if I die
What I’ve wrote will always be found in between the lines
But your sword will eventually rust and crumble to dust
devante moore Jan 2015
As we begin at the starting line we know who's going to win
There's the white rabbit
Obnoxious,Cocky,A *****
Fueled by red bulls an monsters
He can barley be contained
Fur coat at attention
Like there's electricity in the air
But we're drawn to things with a flair
In our eyes his white coat nothing could compare
It's special
Then there's the turtle
Passive,majestic,shy,common
The underdog
We only like them when there's a chance they might win
It takes each step gracefully
Carefully, trying not to impress
It's been counted out shunned for its slowness
As the race begins the rabbit dashes away
Down the trail reaching its peak on the straight away
Not looking back
His speed unforgiven
Giving it the illusion of hovering off the ground
Not a sound heard as it flies by
The turtle still at the starting line
It's progress unhealthily
It to makes no sound
It's footsteps stealthy
But it stills marches on
The rabbit far ahead
Looses his sights that this is a race
He knows the turtle pace
He begins to dash around trees
Running in circles
His momentum makes the ground begins to give
making a donut effect
So detracted he begins to chase leafs
Caught in the wind
So burned out he crashes
Falls into a trance like slumber
As the turtle still moseying along
Moving at a records pace two steps per minute
Begins to catch up
Soon enough it passes the rabbit
Flabbergasted hes asleep
Quietly it sneaks away down the trail
Pace still two steps per minuet
As the race progresses the turtle has the finish line in sight
Thinking this is its moment
To shock the world
But it ain't over yet
The sleeping rabbit awakes
Yawning an switches its nose
Starts running again
He sees the turtle in his sights
Confused how this happened
There's no way he's going to lose
But fate was not on his side
As he widens it stride
Trying to catch up the turtle just near the finish line
One step and it's all over
And just as the rabbit catches up
It's too late
devante moore Jul 2018
Running frantically down a vacant street
Dashing through puddles
As they splash beneath my feet
And squirt from in between my toes
Why am I not wearing any shoes
I’m in a rush
But my destination is a secret my mind has hidden from me
I guess it’s been raining for awhile
Everything is soaked
From the buildings
To the streets
The cars
And even the trees
Who leaves hang like her wet hair
But it’s finally starting to slow

And what the wilting rain unveils is unnerving

Finally I get a glimpse of my surroundings
But the scenery before my eyes....
The street lights
Desperately hanging
Its last few wires hold on tight
But the green is as dim as her eyes
On the verge of going out for good
Stop signs bent
Posters on brick walls
Halfway torn down
Cars parked randomly
The paint faded
Covered in scared
That seem to reach all the way to her bones
Building windows cracked
Open signs
Fizz,spark and blink

Not sure if this is a dream, or foreshadowing
But before I can think
It starts to rain
devante moore May 2016
Are you really unhappy
Is that what you really feel
Or is it something you made up
Believed in it so much you've made it real
Tell me you deep dark secrets
I promise they won't be revealed
Why are you always so angry
Is it because your dad isn't here
Do you feel abandoned
What's going on in the inside
Why can't you let anyone in
It's terrible to hold everything in
Your only hurting yourself
You keep everything bottled up
Eventually your going to bust
I can hear you screaming on the inside
You just want someone to trust
But your never going to be happy
Unless you learn how to open up
devante moore Nov 2017
I use to stay up all night
If you were in pain
I'd be the ice
You applied me to you, whenever you need too
But I didn't mind
You were mighty fine
And my family adored you
But it turns out you were a trickster
Tried to play my heart like a drum
It would've worked
But my heart couldn't be rung
It didn't carry a beat
It needed to be strummed
But my heart was way out of tune
Plus it was previously swept away in my last girl typhoon
You see she was one of those good people out there
But sadly I was more like you
A liar
Manipulative
Replied to all your love you's
I love you too
But that was never true
I was just reading from the script
Reciting a line
Like a play we were acting out
But really
You were just a drawing to me
And I was trying to erase parts I didn't like about you
You were trying to play me
And I was slowly trying to change you
See you thought I was a good guy
But you can't fool a fool
Without getting fool too
Love is really a game
And I haven't been in love in a very long time
You see I'm no longer a good person, no not anymore
Not after parting ways from you
devante moore Aug 2017
Two plus two
Equals four
Four plus four
Equals more
I want more
More
I want more
More
I want fast cars, a big yard
Pretty girls, on each arm
I want more
More
I want more
More
That's what they want
These days
I want diamonds rings, shoes that gleam
Big purses, expensive things
I want more
More
I want more
That's what they want
These days
devante moore Nov 2018
Should I replenish your thirst
Or just let you wilt
Wait until the ground **** you dry
No remorse felt
Your bright yellow
That could attract a crowd
Slowly turned to beige
Your core
Once a perfect brown
Blacken
How quickly you’ve seem to age
At a distance I watch
Beautiful once
But anyone else would think you’ve rot
None knowing what you need
devante moore Apr 2016
How close to this line can I get
One more stop and that's it
So close to hating you
I can taste it when I sweat
The thought of leaving you Is so tempting
I lust for it
Like a pervert
Imagining breast
But what's holding me back
My feelings for you are at rest
My heart doesn't beat for you in my chest
How far from this line can i get
It's to late I've already stepped over
devante moore Aug 2015
I feel at home
Laying in nothingness is where I belong
No Ray of light to call my own
This darkness comforts me
It subdue me when I'm alone
There's no hiding from it
No begging it to leave
This darkness if apart of me
It's the knife that cut me when I bleed
The dead leaves that fall from there stripped trees
It's the anger that needs to feed
The void that filled an empty heart
It's the stitches that kept it apart
Now I owe it
Cause it owns me
This darkness
This darkness
Is me
devante moore Nov 2015
Can be amazing
Then drive you crazy
It can be the rope that snapped
That once held you to the Clift
Love can be the one blocking the blows
But the one throwing the fist
It's the life guard that saves you
After it tried to drown you  
When you were lost
It was the one searching for you
And it found you
Forever your in its grip
When it's not around
You'll do anything to feel it again
A cure after its poisoned you
This thing call love
Is the bandage after it hurt you
devante moore Oct 2015
I do this to forget
If these shots are wind
Then I'm chasing after air
Touching the glass
Rubbing the outer rim
Kissing it like I'm having an affair
Aware of the consequences
But if this is the only way to ease the pain
Then the burden I will bare
Shots in till I can't comprehend
This thing called love drove me here
Sat me in the car
Started the engine
Poured me a glass
And sat and stared
She refilled the glass when it was full of air
3 shots in and I still cant cope
The liquid burns my throat
Feel like I'm being choke
It's hard to breath
She hands me another drink
But it feels like shes the one who tied a noose to this rope
It's her who I want to forget  
Now I'm six shots in
devante moore Jan 2015
It crackles and whips against the darken sky
Disguise by the clouds
It makes itself noticed
Then gone in a flash like lightening
The sound of it rolling through the sky is not what worries me
It's what comes after
What follows
The disaster that it brings
As I look to the sky
The darken clouds looks full
And ready to bring hell
I wonder what kind of precipitation will fall
It booms in again and again
But it's hard to pinpoint its location
I don't not know from where it comes
But it's a warning
A beacon
But I'm use to this kind of storm
And they say nothing is promised tomorrow
But I promise you what happens today
Will spill off into the next day
devante moore Apr 2018
Clears throat
Even when I try to breath it hurts

Because inside everythin is broke
I want to be helped

But afraid of being healed
Slam shut my eyes, and pretend everything is not real

Control by my vicious thoughts
Trapped in my **** mind

I want out
Have the key to the locked door

But barricaded myself in
I’m In pain

It’s stiffing
Pretending no, delusional maybe so

It’s as real as the wind
And I’ve been at war inside my own skin

Almost beating into submission
But I refuse to give up

I’ll fight my demons two by two
Welcome them aboard my ark

And I’ll win
No matter what

Or til death
Do us part
devante moore Jan 2015
Even when my whatch stops my love keeps ticking on
devante moore Feb 2016
If I was a boat
You were the wind that engulfed my sails
Carrying me
As I glided over the open sea
So freely
I took you for granted an let go of the wheel
An as we reached uncharted waters you dwindled
Could no longer handle my careless ways
You were sensitive to pain
And gave into reality
But you were my gravity
That held me to the earths ground
But now I see it was me
So from a bow
I'll set an aflame arrow free
Watch it impale the sail
Caressed by the wind the flames grew
I let you go with the pieces of linen swept up in the wind
Thoughts of you drip from my mind
And get caught in my throat
A taste I once loved
I can't stand no more
You were the balance that help me walk along the tight rope
But it's time to let you go
So I'll let you flow out of me
Like *****  
And it hurts when I gag
There's so much that's there
Not enough time to breath
But if this is the only way to set you free
Then I'll let you go

I'll let go of my selfish desires  
the memories
The moments
The times were all I could do is stare at you
The times where I was at a lost for words
The times you filled my heart
When you where the colors to my world
I'll let it all go
And allow the gray skies to take over
Allow your days to fill with an overflowing sunrise
While I drown in my liquor of tears  
As the hurricane of misery passes me
I'll allow the screaming pain to take over and enrapture me
In my ever flowing blood stream
I watch my foolish words and my vexatious ways enthrall me with torment
As I was yours
I forfeit these desires and cut the ties
This my goodbye
My adieu
To you my beloved
It's time to let you go
devante moore May 2018
Metal
Or steal

Aluminum
Or tin

No longer coated with silver
I remember I use to shine

But now I’m covered in rust
And invaded by the weeds of the earth

Frozen in place
Can’t move my face

Dreams of me stretching out my limbs
But cursed never to move

I pray to the sun
And scream at the moon

I’m cold to the touch
Inside, an empty shell

Press your ear against my tin frame
Knocked on my chest

Echos is all you’ll hear
Peak into my rotted holes

No heart would appear
devante moore Dec 2014
I'm tired of this love conquers all *******
Sorry I might just curse a little bit
Is love gonna stop a fight
Will it stop you from yelling at her all night
Will it stop me from buying this bike?
The answer is no
Love dims quicker then the sunlight
Its glow run out before the moonlight
It was created by someone who got weak in the knees
Thinking he can give her the world
Only to find out she could not be easliy pleased
This is for those who loved lied too
It cut you so deep
Now you cutting yourself too
Well you've been heard
We all know love is an oxymoron
Cause it means way more then one word
They told us look for that person
There's one person in this world for u
That's a lie  you can love more then
One or two
But the heart wants what it wants
We were born to believe
Love conquers all
It can change like the season tho
Like a leaf that's falls in fall
devante moore Feb 2016
This voyage we were on wasn't meant to last
Before the ship set sail
I could already see the crash
My body went numb as I impaled the water with a splash
Sinking into the belly of the sea
My lungs swelled as I inhaled water in the search of air
My skin screamed from the piercing cold
I could feel the blood cruising through my veins start to slow
As my body tried to adapt to the blistering cold
But hypothermia had already taken its hold
And as you floated next to me
You thought we could overcome this wreckage
But you were the only one holding on to the debris
While I sank slowly beneath the waves
I wouldn't reach out even if you threw me a life raft  
I could tell we were lost out at sea
Blown of path from the draft caused by wrath
This ship was never meant to survive the sail
Even before the iceberg was unveiled
devante moore May 2018
I feel everything
Well only sadness and pain
And it’s wounded so tightly around me
I can barley breathe
It’s so suffocating
And I’m so committed to misery
I found myself proposing on one knee
She laughs and says no
Because she’s been with me before I was a teen

Im finding less ways to cope
Maybe I should feel up a shot glass
And throw a couple back
Until my vision becomes out of focus
And let the brown liquor
Run dangerously free
Like the migration of locus
But even then
Will that take away the hurt
I should knock back a few more
Until my stomach swells
And every sound rings in my skull like a bell
Maybe I shouldn’t stop
Until each step becomes a challenge
And even if I’m standing straight up
I still feel off balance
But you see I don’t drink
It’s hard fighting the demons now
Just one sip and I wouldn’t have the strength to keep them down

Ok forgot the sip
Maybe I should match it up
Would getting high
Help me hide what I feel
Because if it will
Maybe I’ll roll it up
And get lost in the clouds
And chock on the smoke
Forget the cup it always burn my throat
Yes maybe drugs will help
I should smoke until my eyes get low
And until there’s no more left to pull from
It’s a dubbie a roach in my hand
But I have connects
So I’d always have an endless high
How many hits would it take
Until my memories vanish and erase
How many blunts in a day
Until I can’t remember what’s hurting me today
Tell me is smoking the answer
The thing is I don’t smoke
So what should I do
I don’t have a clue

Throw me in the mist of an ocean
Storm
Douse me in the water of Alaska during winter
Place me on the hot sand of the Saharah desert in the summer
Watch my skin sizzle
Boiling under the sun
Tie a dumbbell around my ankles
Watch me sink to the bottom of the Great Lakes
Latch me to the walls
Throw daggers at me
You want to see me fight the waves
Want to see me overcome hypothermia
Want to watch me fine water in the desert
I can show you how to cure sun burn
Want to see me escape these chains
Dodge the daggers
You want to see me overcome all your wicked tricks and pain
Fine but you going have to torture me
devante moore Mar 2021
Plastic cracked
I seem to be falling apart
The result of your tight clutch
As you hold me close to your heart
And I sink into your breast
I can feel your hurt
Today must’ve been a bad one
Because the pain is so much worse
But what can I do
I’m just a tool
A conduit
And I won’t last much longer
I’ve been over used
Not miss handle
Chip parts
Just shows I’m that frail
A toy
But a solider still the same
My mission is to comfort
And even as I wither
Part by part
I cannot fail
devante moore Sep 2015
He doesn't quit
Until his knuckles are numb
Or his arms become to heavy to lift
Bruised and swollen
He stands over her, panting  
Like a predator
After a long chase of its prey
His fist are Bone breakers
And he keeps her in place with these
To afraid she doesn't leave
He hit so she will behave
Harder just in case she becomes to brave
When he's drunk his fist cascade down upon her
Until her ribs sing
She ***** up and take blow for blow
Until finally
She's gifted unconsciousness
From the transactions of his fist

Your the priceless treasure that I keep locked away safe
devante moore Jan 2015
I feel like I'm a tree
My leaves stripped off
I lost my glow, my green
My usefulness
Now I'm naked barren and bear
Strong gust of winds whipped away my leafs
The pain of them being pulled away is unforgiven
Each time I've been hurt
The bond between them and my  branches as been weaken
I've been uprooted
An planted at the end of this valley
Other trees hog the sunlight
My branches home to spiders and there webs now
I look like a decoration for halloween
Seasons passed an still I look the same
Rotted
Bark stripped away
Winds whistle through my now hollow holes
I feel like a tree that's lost all my leafs

My circle of trust is so small, even I'm not in it
devante moore May 2023
Flew into the heart of the storm
To afraid to look over my shoulder
I know it’s nothing but an empty seat
Co pilots missing
As always it’s only been me
A message from the tower
Chimes in like the voice in my head
But it just comes across as static
Message unclear
Warnings missed
Is it my fault?
Alone in the cabin
But I still decided to take off
Couldn’t hold on
No applicants deem fit
All protocols cleared
Now I fight to keep the plane in flight
Carrying the hurt and hate
The pain and fear
Saddens and embarrassment
All seating in their separate chairs
But this is where we might all go down
Engine one failed
Brace for impact
The turbulence was stronger then we feared

I won’t be a victim of this love ****
Either hate me
Or love me
Date me or forget me
That’s it

The pulsation is to strong
To many mistake made
That cannot be undone
Now I will die alone
In this place where darkness doesn't hide her face
Shadows and lost souls use my body as a doorway
They want in to this crippling world
I slip in and out of consciousness
I can feel my heart throbbing with each beat
Blood coursing
Trying to keep me alive
This heart of mine is failing
My breathing slows
Fluid builds up in my lungs
The taste of blood that hasn't been oxygenized
feels my mouth
Its bitter taste is the last thing ill know

You can't comfort me like her
I dash into her grasp when she's near
In her presence I feel most safe
I can detect her love radiating from off the pages
I whisper what plagues me in her ear
Behind your back I confess my love to her boldly
When I'm with you I'm wishing she could hold me
When I'm broken
Shes the mechanic that fixes me
My tears full of ink
Morphed into written words
I disclose my pain to her
In each line
Addicted to her like a fein
When I say goodnight to you
I lay with her and dream

A cheater is going to cheat
And a liar is going to lie
If you take them back
Don’t be surprised
When they do it for a second time

You don't like me because I'm not from your race
And my race doesn't like you because the different skin color on your face
It doesn't matter where you go in this world
Pick a place
Your always going to find someone different from you
Why do we have to hate someone who shares the same planet as you

Who knew I'd ever tell you
The words I like you seemed lost
When thought up
They broke into pieces
Were swept away
Like a bottle out to sea
Couldn't find the words to tell you
So I left hints
Like signs on a trail
Hoping to point you in the right direction
But they failed
Hoping you would catch one like a fish on a hook
But watching them fly over your head
Felt like I was eating nails
But the fear of you going away
Was enough to propel
The words out of me
This change of events scares me
And who knows if we can bend this I enough and form an us
Maybe there's things I still can't tell
So my words stay unspoken

He's tormented by his past
Every night
Wakes up in a sweaty mess
And out of breath
Goes In his bathroom  
Stares in the mirror
Not sure what he's looking at
Then Yells and yells
Finally he punches the glass
Shredding his worn out knuckle  
Pulls the mirror from the hinges out of frustration
Throws it on the floor
While the voices in his head laugh
He strips the shower curtain
Rips it in half
Then yells some more
Until his throat becomes sore
Goes under the bathroom sink
Grabs the hammer
That's awefully dull
Grips it tight in his hand
Until the pain he can't withstand
Then he goes at the walls
Bashing
Smashing
Trying to destroy it all
He's tormented by his past
Still see flashes of memories
Dancing on the shattered glass
Finally he stops
And drops
The broken glass imbed itself in his knees
There's a woman smiling at him
From within a shard of glass
"You don't have to cry anymore, go back to sleep"
Couldn't think of a title...

Kick me
Slap me
Punch me
Bite me
Throw salt on my ****** wounds
Stab me with a knife
Poke me in the eye
Scratch me on the face
Beat me till I'm numb
Until I'm black and blue
Covered in bruises
And can't move my arms
Yell
Curse
Scream
Be mean I can take it
What you don't understand
Is I'll go through all this pain
So you don't have
