I'm not finished, im not done
We're in no hurry, baby, we're still young
I have more to say, more to do
you cut me short, as if on cue
I was mid sentence, caught up mid stride
You cut me deep, acted like you had a free ride

Drove away with my all on board
I tried to hurt you back but its a double edged sword
my words hurt me, now I'm back on the floor
when I was with you my heart, it soared
as I lie here cut up and open 
trying to feel scarred, yet im still broken

to look at your face, its such a disgrace
you were never really there; a ghost in your place
respect me you say, but respect you did not
you took what was not yours and gave none back
watching and waiting but I never crack
Spat at my back and then in my face

respect me you say, but respect you did not
you took it too; the secret that was all mine 
now the knife hovers there just over my spine 
I lay watching and waiting for that final word
And this torment, well it's absurd
end it for for me, just say the word

scream it, yell it, dont let it go unheard
how I gave you the power, the power to me 
i gave almost all, i gave to you freely
I take nothing back, for what I said I felt 
looking in your eyes, though I still melt 
respect me you say, but respect you did not

I'm a new person, with new feelings to give
trust doesn't mean I've lost my chance to live
I'm allowed to breathe, but I'm still mad 
how worthless I was you, the power you had
its worthless now;  its back here
match me, kiddo, I kicked it up a gear.
So, I know I'm not the best rhymer in existence, but I gave it a shot and I do know that I changed the rhyme scheme partway through :)

mask
The beauty of
transparency
is that everyone can['t] see it.
Belle, the french word for beautiful,
Her face so sweet love it with my mind and soul,
Little is known about my unfound love,
Hidden deep, never to be shown disposed of,
As we meet the feelings begin to blossom,
Something that feels amazing and awesome,
Past memories bring up forgotten scars,
Flashbacks through my head  as I look to the stars.
Have some tea with me, let's share a deep conversation

about the stars in the sky

about what happens when we die


Make a kind gesture, hold this ladies hand and show me

what you think is proper love

how you'd hold only me above
You asked me **one time,
why I liked the stars so much,
and I didn't really have an answer for you.
But now I do.
I like the stars because,
we're really seeing the past,
and it seems to me that I liked my past
more than I'm going to like my future.
Light spreads across the land
Footsteps trailing me in the sand

Memories flashback to me
A wonderful day I do see

Visions speak with such wonderious light
Only to be forgotten before the night

id like to be buried among the kings
                   and walk with the dead soldiers
                                      id like to meet the boat man and tell him
                                                                                               it was all a lie

id like to see every god
                   the people once believed
                                      and let them know
                                                                                               i never did

id like to pay the toll
                   in less than wealth
                                      and know that thats all
                                                                                               thats needed

id like to know where we went wrong
                   and if we can grab the chance to fix it
                                      as it passes us by and is to late to say that
                                                                                               we were wrong

id like to think this is a good place
                   to know it wasnt all in vain
                                      to think of all the losses
                                                                                               and not count them as such


id like
                   id like
                                      I would like;
                                                                                               To know Life.

Rule your world with an iron fist

Be fortunous by happenstance

Accept those that need it most; and hope they do the same

Look ahead; Face your fears - head on.

See the sounds of anger; ignore them with a passion

Be who you are
*Because you dont know how to do it different.
