I wish for the older times
When a bad boy could be good
Makes us their shrines,
Instead of the inspiration for morning wood,

Where fathers would discipline,
Their boys who treat a women as an amatory,
Thinking like a simpleton,
Only with their anatomy,

What happened to the lioness?
We’re only hurt by the succubus
As pain cometh
As we try tears suppress

Why must a good women
Suffer for the horrid
With the stained linen,
For a dream so torrid,

All we want is to be respected,
Witnessed pain,
Just to be rejected,

Nothing is perfected,
Nothing pure,
Only selected,
For deceitful lure,

Why don’t we earn the respect?
We so desperately work for?
Because a man has a defect,
Easier is the *****.

I was the relentless sun,
While you the calming moon,
I was radiated with passion unforgiving,
And you fled from pain into the inopportune,

My mind had begged to run from you,
but my heart had demanded I stay,
You radiated the dark in me,
And I stopped at nothing to make your heart sway,

And so we were polar opposites,
That could not exist without the other,
We were in complete contradictory denial,
But one could not do without the other lover,

So I shone my rays of desperation
And reflected off your doubt,
I fought for respiration
And you responded to my draught,

You’re moon will stir the seas I heat,
My rays will warm your darkness,
As we co-exist together,
And work towards each other’s calmness.

Roses they did wonder
contradictory to their character
but love had they squandered
at the hands of a gifted actor

What a feat it was
to become an unexpected pawn
they came in red camouflage
from his hidden pocket like a weapon drawn

Now bathed in mistruths
and dyed black by misdeeds
dismissed of thier behooves
as tainted blood stains their leaves

The roses they wondered
in search of a new elucidation
for their job had they blundered
condemned by pains preservation

She rejects them like a plague
as thou they were poisoned by his lies
though their part in it vague
she blames them most of all for the tears she cries

Roses they wonder
in search of their redemption
as her screams do thunder
while they fight against her apprehension.

I am the broken stereo in your car
That no matter what you try
And no matter what you do
All you ever get is static
Because the owner before you
Didn’t read the instructions
When it said “Please handle with care.”
I am useless to you,
Taking up this empty space,
You wish for me to sing sweet music
But it is in brokenness you only hear whispers
I wish  I could play to you
That favorite song you drive to
That will carry you on your path
That desperate song you cry to
But all I am is static
Broken and plastic
Because when I worked for someone else
They handled me roughly.

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Or rather a winters noon
As you left no sunshine to stay
You just wore me out with gloom and doom

I was the summer’s breeze
And you were the winter’s chills
With sun beams through clouds did you tease
And I will admit your storms gave me thrills

You wore me down like rotting wood
Fighting against the dampening rain
The winter’s blizzard was all I had withstood
But then came the splintering pain

I crumbled at your tempest
Snapped to pieces at your will
You had me at my barest
And like the season you left still

You marked me with your hurricane
You tore at me with your hailstorm
As only my dampened dust remain
As my structure lay torn

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Or rather a winters noon,
From all you destroyed you walked away
But with the rain something new may bloom.

Like a moth to a flame
You reduced me to ash,
Singed these already broken wings,
And at my wounds your flames did lash

I was captivated by your danger
Senseless from your beauty
I only wanted to touch and feel
And so your inferno left my heart sooty

Enticed by your primal heat
I was seduced by the warmth of you
And so I was scorched in defeat
As my wants took over my needs

Ready to burn down whatever crossed your path
You were a raging inferno
I a single moth defenseless in your wrath
Drawn to you by your impassioned thermo
