I truthfully want to be close to you
A real friend who you talk to each day
Somehow fights erupt over nothing
Arguing gets in the way

You just want me to be healthy
And normal like you think you are
But I can see you're clearly not
Weakness visible from afar

Another year quickly passes by
Hung up on past mistakes
Old offenses should be forgiven
You don't have the strength it takes

I just want a clean slate in your eyes
A second chance to impress
But you can't peel off your predetermined labels
Convinced I'm incapable of progress

It is difficult to face the truth
Your pride I will never earn
So I may as well give up trying
To my bad habits reluctantly return

I accept you just as you are
Favorite pain-in-the-***
Thought we hated each other as kids
Was wrong to conclude so fast

Nothing can replace family
Though at times you drive me mad
We've always had each other for support
That's a lot more than some others had

You think you know what is best for me
Preaching about my decisions
I wish you could see you don't have all the answers
Put an end to derision

Someone needs to show you
How to make a change in the way
You brutally express your thoughts
Or I'll keep walking away

You are not as perfect as you believe
There's no difference between you and I
How can you stand there intoxicated
Lecturing me not to get high?

I yearn to share intimate details
Hidden deep in my brain
Halted by your lack of empathy
You wouldn't understand my pain

You insist on criticizing me
Each time you come around
Maybe you should fix a few things in your own life
Before you choose to put mine down
Another one about my well-meaning ******* brother

Sometimes, you make my dreams
And why do you break them again?
Sometimes, you hide your face
from me, with shyness
Then why do you want me to stay close?

Today why is there so many tears
in your lovely eyes?
And why is there no happiness
in your smiley face?
Baby, don't worry, tell me your secrets.

You're in the bloom of your life now
and darker times will away
by the touches of you.
Who stopped you?
Who closed your dream doors?
You're suffering from ardor
and your broken heart pains always.

You are like a drop of dew at night
and not used to with the morning light
What is the fight with me?
and why do you ignore me?
Forget everything and come to me
to take pleasure in happiness.

in the palm of her ruined hands
was a single seed

if she grew one flower
spring would be in her sights

but winter pulled her down
together they were miserable

she could not bring change about
and so spring never came around

How often we drank
to our health
and discussed trips
to far-away places
like Florence
but the closest we ever got to Italy
was Olive Garden

And then there was the state
of the union

We made love
the same way we made money:
tax free and under the table
neither ever worked out for us

Once our intentions got caught
under the wheels
of complacency, it crushed
everything in its path
including the balter
of our offspring

Nothing
A ravaged soul for the cost of being able to speak
A dark  one for wanting peace
A troubled one for sitting back
A scorched one for endurance
And a stolen one for speaking out

uprooted from
dew ridden dirt
and while growing from
such a sight
it's still hard to hold
on to what defines
one as human

It's so much easier               .
                .
                                           .                To cry out
          To let go
.
                                             to drown in whatever has us
        
     to willingly let it end         .
.                      .    
                                  ­              
                   this is were the hopeful part comes in   .

.
     but I can't seem to
  
                                             Come up with anything

I love her soft voice,
It warms my soul
And her bright blue eyes
There so beautiful and pure
Your the one I adore,

I love her soft touch
It melts my heart
I'm truly in love,
I love you for your loving heart
It makes mine
Feel your love,

And her beautiful bright smile
And I love you so much,
I remember how passionate
Our first kiss was my heart
Was beating for you,

I'm still in love,

And I want to live
With you forever
Inside your beating
Heart we'll always be together..
True Love Together ❤️
