Love is hard no matter whose involved
I dreamed about love having kids living in a loft
But over time love hurt me more than anything
it was no one time lover or no simple fling
my heart was never poured out and given
but instead it was ripped out and i was livid
Cold blooded females and none wanted a good man
If i approached some would laugh some even ran
I understand im not the most attractive or appealing
but im still human dont i deserve to exerience that feeling
what do women want what do they need
do they wanna man who can write or even read
Do they want someone to comfort them when times get rough
to show them support with tons of love
Or do you wanna guy who shows you disrespect
a man who shows no effort treats you like an insect
Do you wanna guy who cheats and never says i love you
a guy who shows no love and never tells you whats true
Theres tons of great guys, its like a scent its a heavy aroma
Im done trying im done with love, AMORFODA.

As we grow older we discover and we see the truth
Especially the things we couldn't see during our youth
Life's full of challenges its one big test
It becomes crystal clear there's no need to attest
Birthdays become regular days
As we make our way through this unforeseeable maze
Christmas lists become shorter and soon rot
As we grow older the things we want most cant be bought
Days become shorter and life becomes colder
Because life is no game as we grow older

One more look into those beautiful eyes
One more hug to stop those tears that you cry
One more night alone in the bed where we lie
One more gaze into the night sky
One more sweet sweet goodnight lullaby
One more kiss before I say goodbye
Duane Emanuel Dec 2016
The immense emotion of looking deep into her eyes.
She can see deep into my soul all the truths and all the lies.
As I continue to look deeper I continue to fall in to a trance.
Her eyes are so hypnotizing is this true romance.
The eyes of an angel is where I stare
She knows I am under her control something so hard to bare.
Her hazel eyed gaze is beyond modest.
I’m in love and I can’t help but be honest.
I’m under your control I have fallen under this spell,
It’s hard to speak my love for you neither ask nor tell
The eyes of an angel is what controls me.
Is it bad that I don’t want this to be over I don’t want to be set free.
I will never stop looking into the warm hazel scene.
The eyes of an angel can never be unseen.
The warmth and comfort I must retain,
Her stare is too powerful, it’s so hard to abstain.
Her desires are mine to fulfill no matter the demand
The eyes of an angel, I cannot withstand.

A place of warmth a place of desire
The loving place we all admire
Mom's hugs and kisses are an unforgettable feeling
While being on Dad's shoulders made everything more appealing
Sibling rivalries were more than just a fight
It was sign of love not a test of might
Holidays were cheerful and merry
Home is the place where the burdens are gone no more to carry
Duane Emanuel Oct 2018
He hurt you and i understand your pain
but i will be there for you, even through the rain
He was your best friend and your love was strong
but i can show you im worthy and my love will never go wrong
He said you were his everything no matter the situation
but i promise my love will be forever no matter the duration
He said you two would be together forever
but you can trust me, cause with me our love will never sever
He broke things off and you two lost traction
Im better for you i will give the satisfaction.
Duane Emanuel Dec 2016
Alone no one to talk to no where to cry
As i hide behind a smile a heartbreaking lie
I act happy for no one can see my true pain
The despair i am in is hard i feel i have been slain
Where am i in this world of sorrow
Theres no leaving ill be back here again tomorrow
No one can see who i really am who ive become
The stress has gotten to me now i am forever numb
You see me laugh but you clearly cannot see my true fears
Because behind this joy are invisible tears
Duane Emanuel Oct 2018
When the tears fall from your eyes i wont hurt you
When the rain falls from the sky I wont hurt you
When we argue I wont hurt you
When our love struggles i wont hurt you
If the fire burns out I wont hurt you
If you stop loving me I wont hurt you
If the world ends I wont hurt you
If you are unfaithful I wont hurt you
I will never hurt you no matter the cause
The only pain i will inflict is my love it can never be lost.
Duane Emanuel Dec 2016
I sit at the bar just dreaming about you
The immense feelings I have are all true
The henny runs through me vein by vein
The sight of you drives me insane
This love for you burns so deep
As I take another shot because it’s so hard to sleep
I stare at the jager as I am its next prey
Because your love is so hard to bare it leaves me in dismay
This liquor has got me in deep there is no turning back
The next shot comes near me ready to attack
Her love is what I  need I can’t go anymore
What more can I do what left is in store
Just thinking about the chances I leave on the table
The opportunity to ask you out but sadly I am not able
This liquor has hit my brain and I’m down for the count
I want to confess my love for you an obstacle I cannot surmount
I leave the bar and look up and here it rains
As my love burns more with liquor in my veins
Duane Emanuel Dec 2016
Distracted by those around me
Their reactions is all that i want to see
The caring mind of what others may think
Im blinded by their thoughts there is no need to blink
for i am a man with constant depression
too afraid to tell the truth or a true confession
At times so destructive and with no intent
I have no help no one to help me vent
Im not perfect i am no king
My flaws are painful with every sting
Im weakened and it tears me apart
For every ending their becomes a new start
So i have learned throughout my years
but on occasion i shed many tears
When the pain starts i shall wait for the restart
For i am human with my sober heart
Duane Emanuel Dec 2016
Is it bad that I feel this way?
The words I want to confess I cannot say.
My heart is in such despair
It has become so hard to bare.
For I don’t care how she looks or what she may wear
Her good soul is what I love, that’s where my eyes stare.
Because of love and pain
I will take your pain, for it’s your love I want to obtain.
You have already taken my heart there is nothing more to steal.
Because I want you to know my emotions and how I truly feel.
Because of love and pain
I will take your pain, for your love is what drives me insane.
No matter the deed your wish is my command
For your my queen and my desire is to hold your hand.
I bow down to you at the base of your feet
Cause it’s a blessing just for me and you to meet
Because of love and pain
For you do not need to take away my pain,
For you already possess my heart there’s no more to gain

The final party is over and done
waking up the next morning from the lights of the bright sun
The cap and gown pressed and clean
Finally the day has come for you to be seen
The diploma is obtained and life finally begins
However, it all becomes harder nothing is decided by losses and wins
No one gives you chances no one wants to help the journey is harder
You get pushed back farther and farther
Vehicles are hard to obtain
Alcohol is hard to abstain
Truth is all the fun from college and all that laughter
Is something to never forget especially because of the hardship of the road after
Duane Emanuel Dec 2016
I can’t help but love the cold.
Because I see her so beautiful and bold.
The arctic breeze brings her closer to me.
As I look into the eyes that only I can see.
The warmth she brings is so hard to believe.
Her love is so strong it’s the greatest gift a man can receive.
As I hold her tight in my arms we stare for awhile.
She looks up at me and gives me that beautiful smile.
The winter wind brings her body closer to mine.
Her love gives me warmth, something I want to confine.
Its hard to give up her love even for one night.
Because her brown eyes and smile are truly a remarkable sight.
She has me for the night I could never remiss.
Her touch is so heavenly along with her sweet kiss.
Her love brings be so much warmth, no one can upend.
Tonight we have each other, because of the winter wind.

Anger has me in a place of despair
Sadness is an everyday occurence it leaves me empty and bare
Depression is something i hide behind a smile
Happiness is something i havent felt in while
Fear corrupts my mind for what is to come
Love is painful it leaves me numb
My emotions have a hold on me
Look into my eyes and tell me what exactly you can see
I feel lost and alone no one to communicate with
All my life the feelings i showed were a myth
When I smiled I was sad when I laughed I cried
I hide all my real pain on the inside
True Emotions are hard to reveal
So the emotions you see are just an allusion they were never real
