It's not you
    I promise
What I say is true
      He never deserved
           You

     It's not your fault
           I know for a fact
      Trust me
             You are better
          Than a boy like that

It's for the best
       Please,
    Believe me
          He'll do it to the next girl
       And the next
            And next
      You'll find your one
          In this world

        It's time to breathe
             Have faith in what
          I'm saying to you
      This might just be
                Poetry
          But I was cheated on too

It's time to believe
      You're worth more than
   You can see
           No more tears, please
      He's not worth your pain
             You're gorgeous
       And you're NOT to blame

     It's for the best,
              It's not you
          Please,
    Just Breathe.
          Believe me,
  Cause I've made it through.
         I know,
      What I say is true.
             Cause
         **I was cheated on too.
I'm here for you.

We,

Only,

See,

Love,

In bits and pieces,

Of,

Us,

Together,

Maybe if you would have called a little bit sooner,
Maybe turn the sky a little bit bluer,
I never seen you in a dress before,
I never seen you in a dress before,
Smile could light up the moon,
Also in its darkest hour,
Beauty to make you do anything,
She had the power,
Of Lovin you.



Tease me into an open casket,
Forgive me if I ever had the thought of looking ratchet,
I never ever judge cause that's your fashion,
Basic teens never quite get a reaction,
She was sure she had me sprung,
She was sure she blew my mind,
She was sure she made it work,
Theres no clock that can handle her time,


There's no other way to be afraid,
There's no other way to be a shame,
Even though your the one to blame,
Two never made it out as a result of getting yourself into an unknown,
That's leaves home grown and clarinets and trumbones,
Everyday is a new wave of doing wrong,
There no there way to say this,
But my boy your going home.
love / style / death

The haunting of a story
it always starts like this...
You wake up from a dream
in the middle of the night
the images are so **** clear
along with dialogue you hear...
You swear these ******* characters
are laying in your bed...
instead of ******* up
your brain inside your head...
Finally you just get on up...
saying, "sheeeit, man" ..
I'm just gonna make myself some Starbucks
The Apple pops up on your Mac...
then the haunting of the story you had...
suddenly fades to black.
Literally,

I've only

Seen
one

Other human*


In

Two months.
My final truth in this series of mytruths. Honestly, it's getting too hard to admit some things...
I don't even have a place to go for Thanksgiving.
I'm not looking for pity,
I'm just admitting things y'all didn't know.

Click #mytruths to read the rest.

Thanks.
I reach out . . . sadlessly
I preach out . . . incessantly

when time comes asking who ? . . .
what are you ?
it will catch you grasping

I took the answer book
Maybe eleven years of age
Put it in my desk
Forgot it in all it's page

Then the squirrel I shot
with my B-B gun through it's ears
It fell dead and in my regret
flooded into a sea of tears

Life and death swirls around me
My eyes leaving me with no surprise
Tomorrow is heaped upon me
All yesterdays materialized

The answer book was found
I pleaded guilty without a sound
Tried , convicted , sentenced
To no crime was I winched

I buried the squirrel
Said a prayer asking forgiveness
For all my wicked sins

That life is so sacred
That without some kind of repentance
I would never be allowed to win .

Jesus came to me saying , " It's all right , I forgive you of your sins."

Even under forgiveness
I felt little of a relief

God said to me ," My son has spoken , it is
one of belief ."

I see the squirrel
Sitting in that tree
One moment alive , breathing , free

My choice to make
My grace to be
I pulled the trigger forever changing me

I reach out . . . endlessly
I preach out . . . repentively

When time comes asking who ?
Then I know what I am
All actual events

The moon looks on
over a blue ocean
along with the Spirits
and, heavenly Angels
where a family once lived
laughing, crying, smiling...
in the 60's
when they were all once young...
The Beatles played on
a turntable
while my mother hung our clothes
to dry on the freshly cut green lawn
where I carved my name on a tree
by the tire swing
where I skinned my knees
on the rocks, and sea shells
running so free...
with my brothers ...
all three...
where we roasted marshmallow's
in bonfires
with the smell of walnuts from the nearby tree
blowing in the air, I remember the scent of the salty breeze
laughing, crying, smiling...
green lawn that stretched for miles, and miles...
The moon now looks on
over a blue ocean
along with Spirits, and heavenly Angels
where a family once lived
in a beautiful home
painted white
behold
it stands alone
except for the memories it still breathes
with the moon that still looks on
with a background of green luscious lawn...
with eyes for windows
gazing over the blue ocean sea...
Yes, the moon looks on
where a family once belonged.

Your love again,
                         caught me off guard
An invasion of,
                         the very same body
snatches,
that once again
emphatically dominated every
white cell.

Defences beaten,
                           down to
                                        the bare bones.

A hospital room
                          for broken hearts reserved.

Time stands still,
                           not even
the ticking of a clock
to count the days
til the grave I will fly.

A tombstone engraved -
She never would learn
