mhm it's 6 am...
I drank too much
opened the door...
who could it be?
I see two...it's my lady
"how could you? can you see?"
"what's wrong with you!?"
Mh, Maybe it's me? or
maybe it's her?
drunk on the floor as I try to reoccur
all of her words...
all of her...
baby I wuv...you..****, my words are slurred
she says "I'm done!"
I said "Just wait!!"
this instability is what you create!
you hurt me and desert me!
why don't we touch!?
I come home...all you say is "Lunch!"
I know I'm wrong...I drink too much.
I'm sorry, if I forgot to say...
"Baby, you look gorgeous today."
Time has changed all my usual ways
I don't think...you'll like what I'm about to say.

I go out and like to sit down
grab a beer and talk to a crowd
of different women, with different missions
some are divorced, the others are still making decisions
I enjoy to hear their stories, see if I can relate
I then ask myself..."How can love turn so quickly into hate?"
I know you feel the same, don't look at me in shame!
I saw you go out the other night with your "girls"
but you were really with whatever his name!
"no I wasn't"
Now wait, I'm not done!
you know that holding on is just no fun.
we've grown apart over the years, baby... let's just go and move on...
do right by ourselves and even more by our son.
Love isn't a game...and if it was we both forgot how to play..
I'll always have a place for you in my heart, no matter what. That's all I'm trying to say.

I..."NO! It's my turn to speak! First off that was my Co-worker! and his name was steve, you met him and his wife! and don't you dare say another thing!
You've been cheating for years and hurting EVERYTHING!
In college you were the best thing that heaven could bring! now all you do is leave me hanging by a string. I wait with the kids as you go and get lit...you kiss the shot glass more than you kiss me. You tell all your jokes to these girls you've never met...After the baby, I don't know the last time we had ***! You come home and just stare, pretend like you're there... the kids barely know who you are and I don't think you could care. You hurt and you rip! It's been seven years...you walk right on past me as I shed all these tears. I pray everyday that you will one day look my way... that you'll stop hurting me so much and change your dark ways. I must be a fool...to think I'd change you by force...well I'm done I'M DONE....***, I WANT...A...divorce (she starts to cry) hmm babe I need to let you go, I need to take our kids and grow...hmm I just need you to know that I always knew...Now please let me be mhmm just promise, PROMISE, PROMISEEE....that you'll let me be free."


I...****. I came home baby, this just got so crazy. I remember all those days calling you my lady...
I thought I was in control and realized I was wrong...this liquid confidence gave me the idea that it would be good if you were gone...
I know I was wrong
can I...
can I...
maybe it's too late to explain...
Divorce seems to be the only way to free us from these miserable chains.
I wanna say I'm sorry...But a cheater never truly changes, nor wins.
I beg for forgiveness and hope god will let me in.
Crazy how love starts so fast and hits so quick...
If you were to ask me then where'd I be seven years later...
I wouldn't ever imagined this.


I'm sorry. I only wish for one last kiss..
I also hope you meet someone who sees, sees all I missed.

(Give me the paper, I'll sign this)

No family pick-nicks, no "good morning baby", no "Good morning" to my kids...just days and days of deep remorse...I guess this what it all means...this is the pain...this is...

He stops writing this letter.

This is Divorce.
That's Real Life...(inspired by you.)

My heart has always beat silence...
feels being alone is its only love,
my mind thinks affection is violence...
her hands hurt me with every touch, mh
that's real life, honest truth
our bond has our souls shattered,
she's tearing out her roots
Cause that's real life, evil spews
of something that blinds the eyes
and puts venom inside of you...
cause baby, that's real life.
oh, real life...
I'm incapable of such decisions,
I can't commit to your body,
she hits so precise, with deadly precision...
but I can't get that feeling...from anybody...
and that's real life...mhmm
oh, baby that's real life,
she feels the forced strain,
that's me pushing you away,
every woman that's ever loved me,
has slowly endured that pain,
the lost of breath, until nothings left
the traveling tears, sinking for years
being left out...in the cold rain..
oh baby, that's real life
that's me girl, mh
that's real life...
no forgiveness, no emotions...
just your heart trapped in a bottle,
swimming in my disastrous ocean
commotion, your lip stick
your heartbeat is skipping
I'm twisted, drunk in love...

oh, that's real life...mhh...
yeah, real life...
I can't...I won't...
oh, I don't...mhh
know how to change!
and that's real life (echoing)
mh, what am I to do?
cause the reality is...

She's the one that said "I can't commit to you."

oh, and that's real life...(echoes fading out)
See what I did there? he can't love because the other one he thought he loved wouldn't love him and he is saying he can't commit now to his new girl...cool right? and that's real life.

She lost her mind, only to find her heart.
She isn't crazy, she's just different.
She's no longer blind, now she sees everything that's in front of her.
She knows where she's going.
A man once deemed her "weak", only to not realize how powerful she really was.
How unstoppable she's become...how invincible she will be.
Strong enough to pick up the broken pieces, smart enough to know what she deserves and crazy enough to take on the world...with or without anyone by her side.
Never test a broken hearted woman, never underestimate her strength.

It's been 26 years and I'm finally letting out these held back tears
Of confessing to my family and friends of all my hidden fears
Another beer..a lack of drive cause I'm too drunk to ******* steer...the end feels near but I wanna be better than what ya see...who I appear
100 friends yet, they never call and call only when it's a need
I ******* bleed to please all of what ya need! But is it me? Of course it's me... I'm a monster who can't control his emotions that's why my 5 yr love decided to flea. Do I care? Will they always be there? Why do I repeat this *******...is life truly fair?
Fake success...maybe dress to impress...care a lil less and show your ignorant heart with your hollow chest! You can't impress people who already saw you at your best.
You're a poet, hell of a writer with the ambition to change the world! Yet your dark heart has made it impossible for you to remain with any girl...your mind twirls...your soul spins...gain a loss, forget a win...maybe it's time for you to finally look at yourself from within. Where have you been? Have you ever been honest? You can't escape this quick sand! TELL EM YOUR TRUTH! "Hi, my name is Bland" TELL EM YOUR WEAKNESS! I look in the mirror and it's ME i can't stand! "TELL EM MORE! AND DONT LIE!"...I tried and and continue deny. I'm a selfish individual who can't see things for what's right, so I pray selfishly to have "God" listen only to make everyone I ever spoken to a victim of my mission to do whatever the **** I want without permission...(I can't do this anymore!) FINISH! Okay! I'm not okay...I draw picture in my head, of a bed...of dirt and roses that say my name where I lay cause I have more issues than CNN and never know when the right time is to vent, cause I'm a self centered person who could honestly careless...and if it was your life I would probably Payless for me to no longer feel stress and sell you for me to come out best and invest in money power and false respect...I'd sell your soul for myself...I need help ******, .IM SORRY! Please make me stop... NO! YOU HAVE A LIL MORE TO SAY...okay! One day I woke up and told myself I may have nothing left to say and I can't stand the way how most people speak to me and the stupid **** they say so I pretend to listen and care but really I stare and am no longer there and I treat people like **** and use anger as a protectant so that no one can get close...my temper...please they won't dare...but I'm a little boy inside who is terrified and sacred and have no idea how to sleep peacefully because I'm addicted to the nightmares and I sit next to family in an attempt to fit in meanwhile look at my ******* skin...bottom line is, I'm nothing like these people from texture to within...I love to sin and I haven't meditated more than 15 minutes...I just say this **** so ya leave me alone and pretend to think I'm a good person and did it. Now I'm alone and possible insane! TELL EM BLAND! Idk what's wrong with my brain...I can't escape my mental cage...I feed off the world's rage and hate people who change. But I will change! Give me a chance, devil! Let me try to grow? You know what's best for me or you're a master of this manipulation? How do you know? Just let me feel something and be better than what itvm is...my past...let me seek the potential of being better than my dad. I'm not afraid! STF... NO! I'm not done talking, walking and following what it is I'm finally becoming! No longer running! As the alarm goes off and tells me to wake up and make up for my past and grow and feel the sun to warm my "cold heart" and see life for all its beauty, love in the air...seeing how a good thing last. I'm not afraid of your spew and all you do! And you trying to take your pitch fork and stick me of all the evil that resides in you! And yet, I will be something more of what I never knew id ever be! WHO THE ******* THINK YOU TALKING T... nobody, for once I'm talking to me Speaking to you as I continue and find what it is I can finally reach! Honesty, family, friends, love and myself...with everything else I always wanted to be! as I finally open my eyes and see...me.
I've kept a lot this a secret and had no idea it would finally come out for me to share...
No ones perfect...I just hope this doesn't change your perception of me...I truly changed...please...I need ya there.
Power comes from share what hurts your heart

what* have we done?
where is your heart?
who are you?
when did this happen?
how will I move on...
why we did we do this?
the main questions to any untold story
Dougie Simps Jul 2015
She attempts to kiss my lips, it's a novacane feeling,
What use to be beauty, is no longer appealing
My heart no longer needs healing, my mind feels free
Thought I needed you but it was you who needed me
Used and abused, but not broken and confused
The spark made our fire, the connection charged our fuse
Three hearts can't exist, one has to lose
Now baby did you choose?
Let me help you decide,
Opened up your mind, only for you run and hide
Remember those city lights?
I would of shut them all off just to wake up from the morning sun by your side
But the chemistry had died
The pain now lies...or was it the words of "I love you"? I don't know can barely keep track of time...
And I don't lie...I love you but...
Would you rewind?
Would You repeat?
The sweat dripping down your body, The seduction of me...
A night of slo-motion...
Passion bitten on your neck
Baby, take it slow...it's been a while since my last...now, what's next?
Fast forward to the taste of disaster
Feels like these days are moving faster
We attempt to search for one another,
No hearts on the tracker
What's supposed to come after?
Long nights of the gin...
Of a melody to spur the moment
Another body to help your replace your skin...
Maybe it's him?
A dark shadow follows, that is your past,
How can you hold on to me when you can't let go of that...
Said that I wouldn't, wouldn't meet anyone else like you...
If that in fact was true, why doesn't she make me feel blue?
Why doesn't she make me go through, all the bullish you put me through..
Regardless of what I'm saying, I look at her and think of you.
Stuck in the madness...
Feel crazed and dazed,
My mind is running through her thoughts...my love going through her veins...
An addict can relapse and her *** is my drug...her eyes captivate me...her lips become a must...
Was this all more than lust?
I always want you then wanna leave...
It's addiction, it's addiction, it's addiction...pretty girls make you believe they are a need.
You're beyond my need, you're my love, the perfect song in a vortex of a mixture of what we create.
The passion of our hearts and differences in our shapes.
The butterflies in your stomach are the thrill of what you haven't experienced in me,
Don't you see?
I can change your life, just like you've changed me.
What's a man to do...when he only wants a wish...that he can't control and may not come true?
What's she to do? When her mind says "go farther" but heart says "go through" and she wants to come to you but tears go down a path they've already been.
I wonder when...
I wonder why...
I wonder if you love me too, I wonder if I'll ever be your guy.
But this isn't for anything more than to calm what lurks inside

*Your pushes can't move me, your words can't shut me out...because I will forever be there, I will try...one more time.
your walls can grow, your heart can fade, your mind can close and your feelings you can evade. Your truth can lie, your emotions can spill, baby this may take forever...might have to be patient...but for you...I will.
I'd wait for you. Story I just wrote quick

I use to think I understood life.
It's easy right?
Get a job...aspire to make a lot of money! Forget the past and race toward your future!
Jump over road blocks, avoid danger and make it home safely.
Fall in love! Marry the person of your dreams and live happily ever after.
Accept kisses from the stars, ignore the burning of disaster.*
So easy...yet, not one of us can say it's something we mastered.
A figment of ones imagination to attempt the impossible!
To run without falling, to walk before crawling.
You can't skip steps, you can't avoid mishap.
You know no road has ever been straight
No person has always been great.
Flaws, detail our persona and mistakes create our aura.
We can't plan for what we don't know and can't change what has already happened.
Sometimes the way to your perfect healing is that nervous feeling of uncertainty that has us anxiously laughing.
Live through your dreams but never measure the clouds
Even the smallest accomplishments should be awarded, something to be proud.
Cause things just stop and friends sometimes leave
You're probably going to fail 1 millions times...before that 1 time you finally achieve.
So many people falling in and out of love...
One minute this person was your all,
Next thing...you feel nothing...you've become numb.
So we run...run fast from sadness and heartache..
"I do" for ever and always, "we'll never break." The real question should've of been..."if you truly love me...how much of it could you tolerate?"
Why do we leave...Why'd they find someone else?
Before you try to love someone...start with loving the most important thing...that's (yourself).

So many wild dreams! If you dream it you can have it!...No way we can be tamed! Yet, things sometimes get caught up...suddenly your dreams are stuck in a cage...
You can escape. No one said you had to be stuck...
Life to me is 90 percent smart hard work...10 percent dumb luck.
But that's just me...I'm insane. I see things with and open mind and closed eye.
I feel we can learn from the blind...they're the ones that can honestly see.
A distorted, ignorant world that we all ironically can "see".

Is it still "wealth" before "health"

Drop your pride...go ahead, ask for help.
One person can change the world, but first make sure you imply that change in yourself.
Life is a bed of roses...we take the thorns and we make do...
Life isn't a schedule...life isn't a plan...it's a feeling, it's a moment, it's...it's you.
So follow your heart, believe good comes out of your hardest situations.
Logic can take you from A-B...but you can go anywhere with imagination.
So my question is...do we understand life?
Nah, not at all...
It's the mystery of "what will happen next?"
It's our ability to learn as we go, and get up when we fall.

Never stop. Enjoy what have.
