What the hell is love?
Don't think any one knows except for God above?

It's a push and shove here                Until we get what we "need"??
Open your mind                                   You might find it that's it too distracted to see whats right in front of your blind eyes                                                 socially programmed too disbelieve, too live in an illusion of pleasures and "success"                                           Because that's the key to happiness??                                              Open your eyes, which are too deceived, to disbelieve, the truth                           which resides in God's word, and his covenant that his son had to bleed

open your heart and
Just begin to start
You might just find that you could lead your world
Back to the way it was meant to be

But oh don't you see ?                          you, as well as me

We are Cursed by the serpent
Until we learn of our life's purpose

Its a poetic blend
A beginning to the end

Love and Life

Love and Life

She was my all

My everything.

Naivety played its part

But I thought this was true.

 

It began in innocence

But moved on.

Love.

It can have so many

Meanings and none at all.

The oldest symbol in the

History of Humanity.

Those infamous words.

My love is for you

And you alone.

Is that not how it should be?

 

No. The Fates have rolled

Their dice.

And now I stand here

Alone

With the weight of the world on my shoulders.

 

That smile. Just for me. No one else.

I felt alive. Its what I lived for.

Nevertheless, I will carry on; I will walk with my chin held high

And confidence in my stride.

Life is the road ahead of me.

I have but stepped upon its verges.

I am ready.

And I will take every step as it comes.

all figured out

all figured out

what if i told you
i had it all figured out?
we could get it working, m'dear

you tell me you'll find someone better,
someone who understands you more than i ever did
but what if i told you
i had it all figured out?

maybe you can tell i haven't slept in days
with every line and shadow mapped out on my face
ah, you know i've never slept well anyway

but if i think too hard
about the times you would lay with your head in my lap
as i cartographed the tangles in your hair

and if i think too hard
about the loose threads feathering off the sleeve of your sweater
and the way they tickled my cheek--
oh, god.

so what if i told you
i had it all figured out?
when maybe, m'dear
i just like how that sounds

romance, unrequited, love, pain, loneliness, breakup, relationships

The Return

The Return

I loved you, I loved you
With my whole being
Until my eyes started seeing.
You held my heart with tender care,
And looked in my eyes with a loving stare.
For months it was love and it was true,
But I began to notice a change in you.
Your tender care began to pass
And you left my heart laying in the grass.
Yet in your steps you remained staring
But under it all was a mysterious glaring.
You began to fade and acted fake
And inside me, I began to wake.
I gave you my all, my all, my all
But maybe that's not exactly what you saw.
You forgot my heart on the ***** grass,
And it wasn't an action that I let pass.
I picked it up with love and care
All while maintaining our curious stare.
So in the end, when you broke the gaze
It was okay that we split our ways.
I expected it then, and nothing less.
In the end it was a pathetic mess.
