This lad right here
Will do anything to make anyone happy
This lad right here
Will make you feel special
This lad right here
Will do it all with good intentions
This lad right here
Will love you like everyone else
Make you feel loved like no one else
Don't fall for this lad right here
He only means well
But he'll break your heart
This lad. This lad.
Will love you like how you feel for him
Won't love you like how you fell for him

Brick by brick. I have built a wall around you.
Alas comes he, demolishing what I've constructed.
Little does he know, I erected not one but a few.
Some walls, I doubt, even you knew existed.

Just like the rest he'll tear them down with kindness.
Cause, oh tender love, all you seek is some attention.
Estranged, these men truly think I have left you loveless.
Selfish me, only with me shall you embrace affection.

They pursue with presumption that they came to save you,
They pursue with presumption that they came to love you.
The robust walls they've destroyed imprudently to seize you.
Unknowing my intention was to protect them from yours truly,               **You

In stories of love and conflict
The greatest were of me and you
The influence of hydroponics
Done unravelled a thing or two
Like the perfect slurps in life
Are of chowder not of stew
And the perfect us derived
From the balance of me and you
We basked in endless reverie
Though the years were but a few
This reality of fantasy held eternally
For today
     my love
           today
                I bid you
                                                Adieu.

Full bodied. A crimson blend.
Sugar and milk. Woah, transcends.
The sweetness over your toasty brew.

Years taken away. So was murky density.
Just sugar infused. Tis was culminated destiny.
Has elimination brought enhancement?

"Black. Just black"
Am I for real?
I embrace you for you. Smell. Taste. Feel.
Less for more. Will I soon drink an empty cup?

I'm appreciating nothing as everything anyway.

Like the beauties that my eyes
adore on Turner Classics.

Your picturesque demeanor yanks on my
heartstrings every chance I face you.

By poise, by grace,
by articulation and physiques.

I shan't deny existence of such splendor
in others but definitely one too few.

i once was twenty one
my life was up in smokes
she asked if i remembered
but i forgot the day i awoke

my memories are healing scars
they do not depict a clear story
but i remember a time of chaos
a time i stood in glory

there was static in my hands
and fire in my eyes
when the smoke had cleared and fire died
it was a tad too late to realize

but fire is no more a friend
now gardens grow far and wide
she is the rain to wash the ashes
the moon, the mood to my tide.

Fall in love
and don't hold back.

Even if the past
is all you see in the present's eyes.

Soon enough, in the future,
the present will be the only past.

Like stars that once shone,
fade unhurriedly from the skies.

Sometimes i feel
Like giving up
Smoking up
Just let me drift away

Shove me on ship
Just shackle me up
Wake me up
I'll be a stowaway

Hide me deep
Beneath the ground
No sight and sound
With maybe just a shovel

With tranquil mind
Less profound
More lost than found
I'll throw in the blood drenched towel.

We were the ones
who were bred in the fire

Forced to reconsider
our primal desires

Wants and needs stood still
in the want and need to survive

A place we were taught to ****
From the day we first arrive

Told that guns don't **** people
People **** people

But people don't ****, bullets do
So stop speed mailing bullets people

Having much of everything
Yet still doing the taking

And making those who have nothing
Give and keep on giving

Not just reaping harvest
But even lives, loves and futures

Taking away tomorrows
We are a man in the dessert
And they, they are the vultures.

If I could fall in love
I'd fall in love with you
I'd carve your name onto my heart
And have you sign it too
A contract between two fools
Treading cautiously this time around
In a cesspool of broken hearts
Clearer visuals clearer sounds
Well if I could fall in love
You'd be atop of my list
But my hearts locked up right now
And I've jumbled up the keys.

They hold on to the beauty
of that one withered rose
hanging on the bedpost

While a devoted new blossom
craves for admiration
spreading itself bare on the sheets

You were the story
           everyone loved hearing

The story we all knew
            noone could live

The one that anyone stupid
             enough died from trying

All the attention to the
              impossible with no ***** to give

A little empathy to
              your main character

Only partially cause all
              were born in different skins

A fiction to the fraction
               that never mattered

But real as reality has ever been.

The experience in our lives
We collect like stamps
Some more precious than others

To give meaning to being "me"
A vision to those around us
Some we've hated like lovers

It is our own conscience
We learn to understand
Raise and nurture

A child from the past
Living in the present
Unaffected by the future.
