you tried to convince me
that she was bad
but i know the real her
and you're just a stranger
i'll never trust you
not ever again
you used me
just to draw out
a pointless feud
with someone else
i hope you never
get over your jealousy
she's way better than you
in every way
you may have the spotlight
but that doesn't mean ****
when in the dark
you're alone
wallowing in the fact
that you use everyone in your path
my heart will always belong
to the one who got it first
you can't just pretend to love me
i can see through your lies
i will always belong to her
and it's you i'll forever despise
for trying to take me away
from someone i'll always want
but you failed

i've heard you talk
a whole bunch of ****
i always questioned you
didn't want to believe it
but now i do
because you used me all along
i was suspicious
of your selfish ways
you tried to get me
to stop loving someone
not because you wanted my heart
and not because you cared about me
but because you didn't want
her to be happy
you played so many games
and made me feel guilty
time after time
you played with my heart
and ****** with my mind
you attempt to apologize
but don't even try
i was foolish to ever think
that this could have been real
i'm glad i always told you
the way that i truly feel
i'm not in love with you
and never will be
i'm grateful i never truly bought
all of your plots and schemes
you lied to me
and i was honest with you
you used it against me
that's something i wouldn't do
if you can't handle the truth
then get out of my way
i don't deal with fakes
that's the price you have to pay

we always seemed to have fought
every other day
i don't know if it was because
we were doing something wrong
or because we just really care
our last fight
wasn't like the others
it was more extreme
we said some things
we probably didn't mean
i feel so unwelcome now
like you don't want me around
i feel like i always break your heart
and by hurting you
i break mine too
it was never my intention
i've just been so confused
normally we talk things out
but this time around
you said i needed to think
think about what i want
and it hasn't been that long
but i'm already beginning to miss you
our talks were so fun
we would go back and forth immediately
it was something i told you
i always appreciated
i hope you've been thinking about me too
i really miss how caring you were
and sweet
i don't think we will be
what we used to be
but i still want to be your friend
at least
maybe you can't do that
i'm sorry my heart is stuck in another place
but i will never forget
the potential that we once had

It's been two years
Since the earth lost your body
Since I've heard your voice
Or seen your face
But your spirit is always with me
The memory of you kept in my heart
For safe keeping
For always
RIP. 9/28/1991- 1/21/2012

My cause of death won't be
A physical ailment
I won't have a heart attack
I won't get heart disease
I won't be plagued with cancer
I won't die of old age

The cause of my death will be
The fact that I give all of myself
I stop whatever it is I'm doing
To help those around me
I listen to and advise my friends
I assist my family
While no one does that for me
I am left alone 99% of the time

The cause of my death will be
The fact that I must internalize
Whatever emotions I feel
Because nobody understands
How deeply they go
They judge me and find me crazy
There is no one out there
Who is as equally emotionally strung
I am alone

The cause of my death will be
The fact that when I get sick
Or when I am hospitalized
Like I was earlier this month
No one seems to think it's a big deal
My mother doesn't pay much mind
Not even the one I'm in love with
Said one word to me
I was alone

The cause of my death will be
The fact that I don't see hope for the future
I see ignorance all around me
I see laziness and poverty
I don't see any opportunities
For me to get out of this place
I am wandering aimlessly
And alone

The cause of my death will be
The fact that I hate myself
For allowing my heart and my soul
To break as they both have
I am hypersensitive
I feel abandoned
I am weak and fragile
Even in a crowd of people
I always feel alone

No, I will not die from something physical
I will die from a broken heart

Hey Baby,
Here's a letter
To let you know
Just how much
You allow me to grow
I find myself
In you
There's nothing that
I wouldn't do
We reflect each other
You mend my heart
I think I mend yours
That is why
We shouldn't part
You might as well be
My very first love
Because for you I feel
Something I can only dream of
Is this true?
Pinch me
Love me
Give me all you are
Our love is so strong
I can feel it
Even though you're far
A life without you
Would be no life at all
Every day I get with you
Allows me deeper to fall
I'm out of my mind
Infatuated with you
All I want is to call you mine
Anything less
Would never make do
You're the smile on my face
The light in my eyes
The warmth in my spirit
The pleasure I feel
All the way to my core
You're everything to me
You're my definition of more
I couldn't live without you
I wouldn't be complete
So thank you, baby
For putting me back
On my feet

It is winter now
Yet your heart
Clings to mine
Just like it did
That one time
In the summer
I'm grateful for the one person that puts a smile on my face every day. The one person I couldn't imagine hurting. You know who you are and I love you.
