I planted flowers
At your feet
But they soon
Grew too tall,
And tangled 'round
Your face until
You were not
There at all.

You Just Know

How do you know that its alright
To start over once again
To pack your bags and not look back
A new journey to begin

How do you know the time has come
For you to make a change
To give yourself all you need
So you can walk away

How do you know when to go
And leave it all behind
To start out fresh with something new
Not knowing what you'll find

How do you know to say enough
You have given all you can
To know inside you did your best
And it's time for different plans

I always said inside you'll know
When that time has finally come
That you'll feel it deep within your soul
And know what must be done

So if for sure that time is now
Then you know what you must do
  Turn the page on this book of life
A new chapter just for you

You Just Know



Carl Joseph Roberts**


It can be a life change with a divorce a break up or simply a move. Maybe a decision that needs made that you have put off for to long or even a work change. No matter what it is you must go and do what is best for you.

There's a terrible feeling
crawling up your spine.
Whispers slip in your ear
claws tap at your sides.

There's a terrible feast
just about to begin.
Cuts and bruises, lust,
a tea party of sin.

I'm terrible, I'm terrible.
you're tightening around me.
I'm terrible, terrible,
part your lips,
your tongue around mine.

I'm terrible, I'm terrible,
your sounds echo in my head.
I'm terrible, terrible,
part your lips,
your soul is all mine.

Look me in the eyes
and I'll look though you.
Look me in the eyes,
I feel what you want.

Deeper, fall deeper
and don't look back.
You're another willing victim
just waiting to crack.

Look me in the eyes
and I'll look though you.
Deeper, fall deeper
and don't look back;
you're another willing victim
just waiting to crack.

I'm terrible, I'm terrible.
you're tightening around me
I'm terrible, I'm terrible
and you feel incredible.
I'm terrible, terrible,
part your lips,

I'm terrible,

I'm terrible and your soul is all mine.

I remember my hopes and dreams being relentlessly ripped out of my heart.
Shreds of unrequited desires polluting the atmosphere around me.

When love found me the first time,
I could've never fathomed the amount of agony that would wreak havoc on my already fragile existence.

Consequently receiving an unforgivable understanding of the relationship of pleasure and misery.
Now when I commit myself to another I surrender to vulnerability.

Though there was never a choice, I submit myself to you,
knowing fully well the potential torment you could cause us both.

Equally well-versed in both the magic and the pain.
If ever the day comes when we say goodbye, I'll look back without regret and smile because I knew all along you were worth it to me.
I'm laughing
but it's not really funny how
the ones who make you the happiest
can also make you the saddest.

Exploitation of vulnerability,
just never get too comfortable
because the day will come when
it'll be time to move on.

And if you chose to linger
in that never-world of lost love,
then getting used to broken springs
is the key to dreaming again.
