Love like Lamps
Joseph Esplana Feb 2015
They go through many shadows
but most are not right
Day and Night until
Only one is the light
The light can leave
As the Darkness gets Deeper
In the End, Darkness
is the *Real Keeper

bye baby
Joseph Esplana Oct 2014
I remember how things used to be between you and me.
I enjoyed the good, the bad, I really thought we'd be infinity.
Your recent pictures with his arms around where mine used to be.
We had a good run I wont forget our memory.
The first cut is the deepest, it's true, I can confirm this.
There are many things with you  I will and wont miss.
I just want to thank you for helping me to be who I am.
You were once a part of me, you helped me understand.
We were each other's firsts, I appreciate what you've given me.
2 and a half years as one, our 1 year together we had each other's virginity.
Back then in school, it was all i could ask for.
Holding you in my arms, i never wanted more.
In the hallways at your locker smiling saying hi.
Its ok you're with him now. so *im saying bye, baby.
just saw pics of them.. what used to be my world is now someone else's world. that's ok. I really don't regret anything. The fights, The love, it helped me grow up as it did with you too. It's been over 2 years since we've called it quits and went our separate ways. Seeing those pics, i didn't know how to feel, I still don't know how i should feel. All i know is, im saying bye.

If I should die tonight ill go out with my eyes wide opened,
Corrupted mind being cleansed from the joint im smokin' ,
Who are you to tell what a person's views should be,
I hope you don't birth kids into this insanity,
Fill your thoughts with false information,
money for wars while kids die from starvation,
I will never give in and I hate this place,
YOU are the ugly in this "human race"
I hate people. Especially people who brainwash their kids from the get go about religion, politics, etc.

nothing, not even the rain.
Joseph Esplana Oct 2014
Walking through the alleys, its dark and wet.
Words they spoke of me, ill never forget.
Hard drops of water, like the feeling of slaughter.
I hope you never become like me, my son or daughter.
As I cross the street, I remember our eyes used to meet.
They used to keep me sane. but now *nothing can, not even the rain.
its raining outside, so I guess that's where this came from. Also, it's 6:00 in the morning so whatever.

I asked Alice
Joseph Esplana Oct 2014
dark hair, brown eyes,
She saw past all the lies,
higher and higher we get,
rain wouldn't even get us wet,
pills or joints. but whats the point,
I never reached her until she came to me,
calm and stormy behaviors just like the sea,
I finally spoke and her eyes awoke,
fear and love was in the smoke,
I asked about us and she was still,
realizing *it was my heart that she killed.
In 8th grade, I read a book for English class called, "Go Ask Alice" , It then became my favorite book of all time. That's where the title came from. As for the poem, I dunno..

— The End —
