Tonight I realized that
you weren't the one
who wrecked me,
ruined me,
or destroyed me.

It was me.

Because only I
have the power to
do that to myself.

                                        I destroyed myself
                                        by loving you.

If change really existed how would you take it?
In other words If I told you I'm carrying an infant of yours
Would that turn your whole life around?
Would you stop running the streets and act like a man?
Or go on with this immature behavior of yours running the streets selling Dope convincing yourself it helps, but in reality all it does is tear You apart not only you but us.
You think I enjoy watching you inhale that herb going onto a different world of an illusion?
Or watch you grab onto that cigar because it "calms" you down?
Or let me remind you of the time you got locked up, saying you were sorry, but simply got back to where you started
I know your hurting I see it in you there's a reason why we've come this far Right? two And a half years already I'm still here.
Now tell me what if that infant of yours came out with those gazing eyes
With your cute smile that I can still picture from when we first started dating.
Now tell me how would you take the existence of change?

eb
Can't be seen,
Can't be touched,
Can't be smelled,
But it's there

Constant & consistent,
it grows.
Powerful & persistent,
it revels.

is everywhere:
In my heart,
In my mind,
In my daily life.


takes over life,
takes over people,
demands death,
demands people.

Cloudy Heart
I dream of a place
where I have endless space
where the air I breathe is clear
where no one I despise is near
I dream of a place
where the water is ice cold
where no secrets can be told
where no person is too old
I dream of a place
where the sky is blue and grey
where there is never a loose fray
in the knot of my life
I dream of a place
where I can get away
where I will have no worries
for the rest of my days.
