I don't believe what pretty girls say,
Because all they do is with your head play,
So let go of mine, it's not a soccer ball,
For your lies I won't fall,
Fool with me and a fool you'll be
Because the joke's on you; you'll see,
I'm not one to smile forever
If you think you'll get away with your endeavor,
You're following a road with a dead end
And this message to you I will send,
There isn't a road for us to share together
If you won't be honest to the letter
Because I can't go around crossing your T's
Ambling around on my hands and knees
Looking for things that aren't there
While you just sit there and stare
Letting me fumble, tumble, struggle
Withholding your magic; I a mere muggle
Not knowing all the little secrets
That hide behind all your regrets,
Trying so desperately to measure up
To another who's already filled your cup,
So I won't let you keep toying with me
When there's plenty more fish in the sea...

Apago el cigarro
Y enciendo otra botella,
Los pensamientos
Vienen en olas cansadas,
Mar sin fondo
Cielo sin tapón,
Las nubes distraídas
Me pintan imágenes
Que me persiguen
Como sábanas en la lavadora
Vuelta y vuelta
Ciclo interminable,
Pero no importa
Cuanto lave,
La grama sigue
Manchando
Verde como jade
Creciendo
Entre las fisuras
De las piedras
Imposible de matar
Con simples químicos,
Solo la muerte
Esperará
Ver el fin
De esta mente
Atado a un corazón
Con un lazo
Torturado
De amor...

Let's get
A bird's eye view
We'll never forget
Be amongst the few
To climb to the top
Never rest, never stop
Hold my hand
I'll keep you  
Out of the quicksand,  
Just as I won't let you plummet  
From this summit
Together we'll scale
Any mountain,  
In our life; our Everest  
The greatest test
No matter if we fail
We can take it again
And again, anew
Break through the mist
And reach for the sky
Into the air ****** a fist
Catch our dreams
Don't let them fly
Away from us,
As we thrive like a cactus
And our perseverance redeems...

She's a triple threat
The kind of woman you never forget,
Beauty from her eyes
Makes a mirage her disguise,
Every hair and every follicle
You'd want to chronicle,
Traversing across from the sky
You can see her smile from up high,
A rose in a field
Her aura does yield  
A light all her own  
Her brilliance could loan  
A little sparkle to the stars  
Wish you could bottle it like fireflies in jars,
This is her gift
To your world; no sand to sift
Through, as you sink
Into the thoughts she makes you think,
More real than a barbie doll
Into her charms you'll fall,
She's a triple threat
Don't you forget...

My love
Is turtle
From my heart
To yours,
Your judgement
Is rabbit
From your eyes
To my face,
Clouded
Fogged
Shrouded,
And I can't
Shell out
The clarity
Any faster
Before your
Dumb lucky foot
Will trip you up
Choked
Won't you pause
Let me catch up
And touch you
Slowly but surely
Bring you round
And sit by me,
Glad you lost the race
Before I ambled out
Of your life forever
And you would have been
Left in your hole of regret...

You lie there
In your
Four corners,  
You think  
That's not right,  
But it's no better
Outside,  
Only if you think
That way,  
Because in your
Four Corners  
You are protected,  
Only need to reach out  
When in need  
And then retreat,  
Whilst outside
It's pouring  
It's hailing,  
Face each day
Hope and pray,  
For tomorrow,  
So don't wallow
In your sorrow,  
Your four walls;
May be for the best,  
Have room for one more guest?

I know you ain't comin'
Back, bad lovin'
But I was funny
Come back to me hunny,
I don't mind waitin'
If that's the game
I ain't hatin'
It's all the same
To me, one day
One year, one lifetime
What can I say
Your love wasn't a crime,
But your getaway
Was the worst part
Of this play,
Target my heart
But you only missed
Where you hadn't ******
All around and over
But now it's Grover,
Trashed and abandoned
Crushed four leaf clover
Cause I didn't bring you
The luck you searched for,
I know you ain't comin'
Back, but your song I'm still strummin'...
© okpoet

I think I caught
A funny thought
In my head
Cheesy bread,
I fed you baloney
No corn dog as corny,
Saved the rind
In case you were behind
The cold hard crust
A sandwich ******
Like arrow or *****
Upon a pretzel stick,
Layer on the mayo thick
Kicked in tomatoes
And lettuce add
Pickles from a hard blade
Mustard knows
Not a salad
Can come in between
This club and then steam
Veggies, the toothpick  
Needs a sparkly lick,
If bacon were
But an apple core
Orange you glad
Of all the fun we had?
If mushrooms could  
Take off their hats
I also would
Cause I'm a fungi and that's
Why never to you did I lie,
But cauliflowers
Don't make the best roses
And no amount of flowers
Can hide that;
Under our noses
Waiting to happen;  
I would stop laughing then...

I want to play
With the shiny things,
I want to fix
The broken stuff,
I want to grow
The seeds of thoughts,
I want to learn
All that no one knows,
I want to love
All that needs affection,
I want to cook
All the recipes of the imagination,
I want to play
With the toys forgotten,
I want to fix
What others gave up on,
I want to grow
That which needs nurturing,
I want to learn
All that is new and mysterious,
I want to love  
All that is hated,
I want to cook
For those who hunger,
I want to,
Because I can...

In between me and you
There are volumes untold
We the bookends
Kept the stories within,
Pop up books
And color by numbers,
There's still crayon splatters
Across the pages,
Folded corners
And still wet edges,
Wilted bookmarks
And underlined sentences,
Highlighted passages  
And crossed out paragraphs,
Pressed in between some layers
Are dry roses and leaves,
Memories that left the letters smeared,
And though our stories may finish
And remain unpublished,
I just want to tell you
Our love was volumes
With no bookends...  
© okpoet

Started to write
A text from my heart,
You said something first
And I paused,
Long press
Select all and cut,
You don't deserve
This yet I thought,
Under a new light;
I again tried to start,
This feeling was the worst;
What had it caused,
I knew of you less
Now that I consulted my gut,
I wished to preserve,
How I thought you to be
Before I started to turn the key,
On those brand new feelings I caught;
Fluttering from the depths of me
To my mind and we had yet to see,
The truth of you;
Now I'm blue...
© okpoet

You were once
A random etcetera,
Woman I hardly knew;
Best friend I always wished for
Muse I always dreamed of,
You came into focus  
Out of the blur,
Now you are my synonym
And the world is our antonym,
Let's become an onomatopoeic,
Sound of joy,
Two drops dripping upon the waters,
A splash a spray or sprinkle
Whooshes in the breeze,
Fluttering flags of independence,
A sign for all to see,
Two souls united  
Inseparable hearts,
Beating as one
To a tune all our own,
If we inspire before we expire,
Let no one extinguish this fire...

In the depths of sad
I found I had
But one smile left
Crooked though it was
It still had the hooks
Sharp as could be;
To hang all my worries
Upon that smile
Nailed onto my face
Centered under my sad sad eyes
A bowl to hold my tears,
This was my smile
I wore proudly,
Until it crumbled
And broke off,
I rummaged again
Tried to find another,
Sifting through
The dried up shards
Of my heart
And all the torn up
Memories,
Rotting compost heap
Deep within
My chest,
Foot locker
Of my soul...

Woke up and found you
Fell asleep and lost you,
Now I'm in a limbo
A nightmare,
Can't find the way out,
Can't pinch myself awake,
Everything is slow motion
Getting ****** down in the water
Wave after wave pummeling me,
I'm clawing at the sand
But I can't get a grip,
I let you slip
Away,
Not that I wanted to cage you
But I got used to your steps
That smile anticipating,
Banter in you laughter,
Now all is cloudy,
I miss the sun,
I miss you,
Uphill
Is all that awaits me,
Regret that I drove you away,
That's all that's left,
Roller coaster closed
But I'm still sitting here
Sinking feeling in my gut
Anticipating the next loop with you
That will never come again...
© okpoet

Every shape in every cloud
Every dream screams of you loud,
Never knew such a yearning
A feeling of longing,
A face to miss
Memories strong as this,
Find me in my mind
To the rest of the world blind,
Time still, time spilt
Earth uneven on tilt,
Fires yield embers
September through Decembers,
Like bubbles through the years
Never revealing the truths of my fears,
So many people coming and going
None worth a minute past knowing,
Feel the warmth fading
No more timber to feed the thoughts evading,
Always you in the grey matter
Always former never latter,
Of what once was
Or might be, still be, twas...

Rocks below
Sky above; hello
I say upon a breeze
Hoping it'll get to you; and you won't sneeze
At it; and if you do
Will it have tickled you
Like a feather?
How's the weather?
I hope that this
Upon your time does not diss,
This note like tumbleweed
On gusts of thoughts I took heed,
Always on my mind
You are, impossible I find
Not to think
About whilst I take a drink
From the murky pool
Beneath me, a fool
Maybe; I may just be
If signs are not obvious to me,
Stubborn until infinity
Even if I cherish anonymity,
But there's only one of you
In all the universe and like Bloo,
A friend like you even if made up
Still exists in my heart forevermore; buttercup...

She sits there
And writes
Her heart out,
True emotion
In her pen
Leaking
In the ink,
Like the blood
She bleeds
When she cuts
Deep into the pain,
Adrenaline rushing
Sudden and longing
Like her love
For him,
Burning beneath
Her seemingly
Calm exterior
The boiling point
Is reaching critical,
It cannot be contained
Under long sleeves
And turtlenecks,
Welcome the breeze
Sweet embrace
Pen in her mouth
Imagination
Molding clay dreams
Into her reality,
Her eyes beckon
His lips to hers
Melding into one
Interlocking souls;
Ditch the key...
© okpoet

I thought you were
An angel,
Come to set me free
But you had not the key,
To let me out my prison,
I thought you had
Brought me light
Into the darkness I reside,
But I'm still lying here
Alone in the cold
Counting my bones
Thin I have become
For this hunger
I cannot relieve;
This thirst constant
For the sun to shine,
Blood run dry
From my cracked lips,
A feather falls
From your wings;
I hold it against me,
Hope that maybe
I am wrong and
You'll come back...

The thunder screams
I feel the lightning
Course through me,
Black clouds
Getting darker,
Day no more,
Now night
Darkness
Is the only light,
Rain drops heavy
I can cry
With the storm,
I can't stop yelling
I feel the pain
In my bones
She's gone
With the winds;
And the thunder
Has taken
Her place,
I'm stuck
In the downpour;
No umbrella
Can protect me...
© okpoet

Shine the headlights
In my eyes,
Expose me
For who I am,
But I'm no deer,
I'm not crossing;
I'm here to stay,
Confrontation
Don't run away,
Red handed
Is how
You wanted me,
Is this red enough?
Knife in hand,
Slice away, I'm sure
The stains
Will wash away,
But you won't,
Can't leave
Without
Putting
You to rest,
Sleep now,
And never wake,
The pills
Will bring
You eternal
Dreams;
Salvation...

I write myself  
A memo,
To remember,
Sometimes
I truly do forget
That there was  
Ever you,
A song will play
And I'll struggle
Whether I should
Sing along or
Change the track,
Afraid to reminisce
Realizing I regret
Moving on,
Because I let
The winds carry me
And I never resist
The cold currents
Because I am
A rolling stone
Without moss...

Nightmares in the dark
Daydreams in the light
I'm haunted
By the sight of you;
By the thought of you;
By the feeling of you,
There's something
About a memory
How can it be
Remembered
Over time,
Sometimes
It gets vivid
And other times
It fades until
You no longer
Can recall all
Of the details,  
Make them up
As you go along
A brighter red
A bluer blue,
Thinking of you,
Until I die...

I'm so accustomed
To writing  
Short stories,
Shorter chapters  
In my book,
Often  
The characters
Have only a sentence
A paragraph,  
A page at most,
But you  
Won't seem  
To go away,
You're a recurring role
Neither a villain  
Nor a hero,
But Impacting  
My tale
At the turn  
Of every page,
You'll transcend
Into a saga...

You saved his life
That little boy
Within the man
I have become,
You said hello
And gave him
A hand up,
From a well
Of sorrow
You helped
Him laugh again,
Love again,
Be Alive again,
You want
To save the children,
Just know some
Are trapped inside
The hearts of men
Just wishing for a smile
Just hoping for a word
From a kind soul
In a distantly separated earth,
When you let them free
From their prisons;
This world will know
The laughter of innocence;
The love of babes;
A world together...

Some would say
You're dreamers
In a tough world
Married young,
Some will say
Reality will hit you
Soon enough
You'll wake up,
Catch your breath
And come down
To earth,
But I say;
You married
In love;
Your union
Was made
By the light
Of the stars
Dots connected
Spelled out
God's blessings,
I say as long
As you have  
Each other,
Nothing will seem
Impossible
You'll live out
Your dreams
Hand in hand
Till your hearts
Fade into the sand...

Imaging turning to
A face that smiles
When they see you,
Acknowledges
Your presence
And lives for you,
Ears for your
Every word,
Eyes for your
Every movement,
Heart for your
Every living breath,
Imagine that!
Next to you
At every step;
Unconditional
Unwavering
Loyal and devoted,
Imagine that
Welcome embrace
Every day
Knowing you're
Never one word
One call; one touch
Away from a kindred
Soul born just for you;
Never alone again,
Imagine that...

Twenty one years young
And he found
The girl of
Anyone's dreams,
He's cut to the chase,
Beat the traffic;
Stopped time
In its tracks;
He's achieved
The impossible,
Saved himself
The headaches,
The heartaches,
Waiting
For that one
Who would
Join him forever,
Now he's got
His whole life
Ahead of him,
To make a name
For himself;
To leave
His mark
on the world,
With his bride
By his side,
Union of fallen
Angels;
Rising up again
To the heavens,
Let the chorus
Sing and the echoes
Be heard throughout  
The hemispheres,
For these brave
Souls; will
Light the world
In a loving fire
And cleanse it
Of its disbelief
That love  
Will always reign
Under God...

Thanks for all
The wishes you granted,
And all the hopes
You grew in me,
Thanks for the summers
That eclipsed
All the other seasons,
And the reasons
You left in dew drops
Upon my heart;
As to why I'll
Never be alone,
Thanks for the
Bright smiles
And brighter laughs
That let me not
Need to run
From any darkness,
And the inside jokes
That left me outside
Of my misery
Without you;
Just watching
It all stupidly
Wondering why
I was even sad at all...

Don't say goodbye
Just yet;
I've only begun
To keep up with you,
Though you never
See me;
I know you can
Feel my presence,
I'm ever vigilant
Of your needs;
Keep the kindling
In the fires
Of your desires,
For your dreams
Ambitions,
My strength
Is prevalent
Though you
May not know
That I share
In each and every
One of your
Ups and downs,
Your joy
Is my energy;
Your sadness
My mission
To strengthen you,
Together in heart
Sharing one thought;
We are one for one
One soul under the sun...

Don't you know
My mop and glow
Is brighter than
A star over Mazatlán?
I'd be more than spittin'
While you're just there sittin'
This ain't just a game
Though it be the same
When they say don't hate
The player when you're just at the gate,
I fill all the stadium seats
And provide all the player's cleats,
Yeah, you get my drift
Like after hockey left to sift
For teeth and glory
Only half the story,
Through blood and ice
I don't just play and act nice,
I am red riding hood's wolf
Watch out or you'll get a hoof
On your forehead wear it proud
The only crown you'll wear in the crowd...

She's still asking
More curious than
A clueless child,
She a tourist
Through my city
Of lonesome pain,
Shall I tell her
The truth behind
The vision?
Set off all the charges
And let all that
Remains,
Come to light;
The skeletons of
A dream built
In haste,
Awaiting her
Who never arrived,
Who couldn't
Board my hopes
That we would be
What I wished
And yearned for,
Empty aqueducts
Of dried up tears,
Hollow streets
With seashell
Echoes of my
Desperation,
Ghost town
Of my heart...

There's just
A few knots
Left in her head
Before she loses
Her mind,
She's had
More than just
A couple of knots
In her back
From carrying
The weight
Of the world,
She's got
Just a few knots
Of words left
She'll write down
To explain why
It's come to this,
She's just
A couple of knots
Away from unraveling
Just enough
To hang from,
At the end of her rope...

Find me a dark room
And I'll light it up
Sparks from my passion
I can't contain,
  
Find me a barren desert
And I'll overflow it
Tears from my desires
I can't hold back,
  
Find me;
And you'll have found
A heart unbound
Seeking yours,
But as if chained
Not any closer
Than a stalker
At a distance,
Observing cupid's  
Little gift unwrapping
Itself before my eyes;
  
Find me a clock
And I'll start counting
The seconds passing;
Because I can see that;
The love between you  
Will last until the end of time,
  
But I'll be waiting at the close
Of your forever,
For us to be together  
In another eternity
Because even in death
I will always love you...

I met a most exceptional woman;
Thought she was a keeper; make me a man,
She stirred my soul like no other
Made me forget the world even my mother,
I opened up again that part of me
That I promised no one would ever see,
Giving bits at first and then whole  
Pieces of my heart complete with my soul,
She took it all it seemed with eager hands
Held mine while I daydreamed of foreign lands
We'd visit traverse the continents
But in this fairy tale there were holes and dents,
I was not to be a lover but a friend
Forever until the bittersweet end;
She had someone for whom her life was for
And I thought it best to close this door
But she pried the **** from my fingers
And what she said to me on my mind still lingers
Declared she needed me as much as he
That this was just how it was meant to be and we
Would travel this road together
This truly made me feel so much better
Made me so happy I could cry;
She was not just another floater in my eye...

I woke up this morning  
Dressed in black
Still in mourning
Not looking back
I closed the door
My sleeve tore
Got in my car
The drive was not far
I was crying sad
Someone cut me off
And I got real mad
But only for a minute cough
Syrup in hand
Going to robotrip land
Played an upbeat song
To raise my heart's beat  
Which was barely there
Faint it wouldn't be long
Before it would deplete
My strength; blurring the street
My eyes were leaking
All over the steering wheel
I could lose control seeking
To end it all toe-heel toe heel
The familiar shifting autonomous
Feeling quite anonymous
Forgotten by someone I adored
For a moment the gas I floored
Going faster and faster
At least of my life's death I am master
But nearing my destination I slowed down
The music my screams couldn't drown
Any longer, hoarse, patted dry my tears
Put on my mask for the ball of fakers
Maybe for a few hours of grinding gears
I'd forget my sorrows my lost heart breaker...
© okpoet

I couldn't call dibs on your heart
Since I didn't love you at the start
I fought the ropes that pulled
Within me; to feel more than I  
Ever have; a hunger grew
Within me; for any minute
Any second around you,
This thirst was different
Than I ever knew,
Never wanted someone
Because I didn't want
To ever have to let go
Always cutting ties
Before they'd anchor
Me down to earth,
For your smile; your mirth
I'd mercilessly ****,
But you had the last word to say
Who you belonged to,
I never prayed this hard,
To quell the ugliness of jealousy,
But it's there like weeds
I have to pull up everyday
Yet from this I can't get away;
You're someone else's
And I must understand
I'll never be with you
Unless it was a dream;
And even then I cannot  
For as you know I never do;
Hope he knows what he's got,
He may one day not have any
Material possessions;
But he's got the greatest
Single valuable on earth;
Your love...

She never meant to linger;
Just passing through she thought,
I never meant to notice her;
She's just like any other I thought;
  
She said a few things;
I said a few more,
A bridge started growing
Between us
Shaky and unstable
Overlooking rapids
Of the people and dangers  
All around,
  
We started across
Sometimes only inches
We'd make progress
Our fears of falling
Were prevalent,
Sometimes we'd sit
And just wave at each other,
  
Until one day
Finally we met in the middle;
She was beautiful close up
Just as she did far away,
The dangerous pitfall below
We were afraid of no more,
  
The bridge grew stronger
As the days passed,
And we'd run across,
I thought it would always
Be like this,
  
But then came days
I'd be on that bridge
Wondering where she was
If she was to come,
But she was running across
Other bridges meeting others,
  
But I never failed to miss a day
I still ran across and waited
I considered burning the bridge
But every once in a while
She'd look over and smile,
Made me put away the matches,
  
And then I decided there and then
I'd come everyday and wait
Just laugh at all the memories  
Until she'd cross that bridge again once more...

I personally
Love food comas;
And cookie periods,
And gumbo
Exclamation marks!
The're the best!
And semicolon pies,
Oh man...
And peach cobbler
Parenthesis,
They're perfect
With scoops
Of delicious vanilla
Question marks
With a drizzle
Of caramel
Quotation marks,
Oh no!
I'm going
Into an
Anaphylactic shock
From the forward slash
And back slash
Layered lasagna,  
I'm going comatose!
Quick! make me some alphabet soup!

Was it time well spent
Or time lost by your side?
As low tide came and went,
What happens now that the
Waters risen and I'm barely
Floating above all the confusion,
Where have you been?
My mind is slowly losing it's grip
On your words your laugh
Was it that much of a breeze?
On my cheek a tear cold
Falling, it's not new to me
To miss someone but not
Just anyone can make me
Laugh so sudden inexplicably,
Just at a thought reminiscing;
But it's all coming undone
And I can't keep it together
Forever, because every day
Is a new day apart and I've
Lost strength without you
To give me reason to hold on
Even if I do know better
Than to let these memories
Die by the wayside
Because they are
The only ones
Worth forgetting...

I never dreamt
Like most people do;
Lived my life
A minute at a time
Come what may
My stride was wide
As my path was narrow
Never straying
From what I believed
To be my highway
To the doorman
In the sky;
And then one night
I slept;
Woke up in a world
Not alone;
She was there
The cliché's came
One after another,
Too good to be true
Not bad enough to be not;
She was the sweetest
Dream I ever dreamt;
Never wanted to wake
From this bliss ever again;
I can't wait to sleep forever...

You tell me three little words;
I reply with four smaller words,
You smile at me;
I laugh with glee,
We share a moment or two
But we hide many things through
And through from each other
Wonder sometimes why we even bother,
Don't know who's going to speak up first
I'm parched from talking got to quench my thirst,
We walk away to our own little planet
Etch a sketch shaken we don't plan it,
What we'll say next
Lies shallow deep fabricated text,
How long can we keep this up
You're half empty I'm half full brimming cup
Of false interchanges amongst us
The world outside can't join this circus,
Always putting on a show improvising
We wear masks to keep from disguising
Our deep dark truths threatening to be sieved,
We are the greatest actors to have ever lived...

She's always there
Staring back
I'm always here
Looking at her,
She's faintly smiling
I'm vaguely crying,
Every time I look up
Her eyes meet mine,
I want to push her away,
Out of my world
But she just sits there
Stubborn and relentless,
She won't leave me be,
Won't let me wipe my slate clean,
Start again with the thoughts;
I laugh at the memories
She just keeps on reminding me,
Never looking away,
Without a word between us;
I caress her frame;
It's but a picture letting me not forget;
Keeping her alive in my heart...

Say but a word
And I'll draw my sword
To defend your honor
Even if I'm a goner,
Give my life
For you to avoid all strife
Because I care
And they'd all die who would dare
To disrespect you
I'm really one of a kind boo;
Don't you believe me?
I guess I'll let you wait and see
But I'm not holding my breath,
I welcome death
To bring rest to my soul
But I'll have a death's toll
To admit to;
Justice I served; pay it's due,
My love is endless
Even if you cared less;
This is love's mystery
Like a surprise daiquiri...

I took her hand
She took my heart
I gave my trust
She gave her soul
To all the others;
I was left wanting,
For a simple touch
Her smile,
They knew not what she was;
Star amongst stars,
A galaxy;
I wished for her to be so much more
Than they who expected her submission,
To do their bidding just another tool;
An equal I desired for her to be;
Bared my desires,
But she was blind;
Thought she could only get so much;
For her worth,
And here I was offering more than enough;
Guess she'll never know true love,
Can transcend the physical expression;
If I can't save her
I must move on...

I loved you,
But you made me past due;
My unconventional ways
Were too old school for your taste,
Don't you know?
Shakespeare; Hamlet?
Those were the times,
Love was more than four letters,
So much more than features
So much more than appearances,
But you are of the new age,
Physical and superficial;
How do you look?
How do you stack up to all the others,
This is your concern;
You probably don't even know,
What it is to be loved
To be safe under a lover's care,
To know he thinks of you
Day and night priority,
Give his life truly,
But this may mean nothing to you,
Curled up in your little box,
Something bigger than you'll ever imagine...

All my problems you'd end you said
I'm lying here with a little fear a little dread,
I've loved and lost
Know true love's cost
I've given in to your charms
Even if I was aware of all the alarms,
Going off in my head
I can't get out of bed,
Knowing I'm nearing a dead end
And my broken heart I cannot mend
If you choose to break it,
But I will bear it
The pain I'm used to
Before death's toll too,
Searing my soul
Like a burning coal
That won't die
Even if to the world I should lie
That I'm whole
Playing a fake role,
While my world is spinning;
Even if I'm not winning,
Know your intention
While I keep up my pretension...
But don't abandon me;
Because I truly love thee...

There is; is there something you're denying?
True love are you defying?
Can't keep walking away,
Hear what his soul has to say,
Why wouldn't you want to give in?
These feelings are not a sin,
I'm not regretting these words,
I stand the most to lose,
To you I'll cut all the cords
So you won't have to choose,
I want you to be glad,
Have all the things I've never had
I cant be imagining the sadness in his eyes
His actions around you cannot be lies,
Notice the angst in his heart
At your every depart,
Just know he nor no one can love you
As much or even close to how I do,
Third set of wheels on the tandem bike
I'll just take a nice scenic hike
I'll step aside
Get off this crazy ride
I'm good for the cab fare;
Take care...

She was my non sequitur;  
Like that hottie
From the south of Ecuador,
So nice yet so ******;
But this one was my interrobang
Questionable excitement,
To her laughter my ears lent
Cautious echoes that sang,
Of the skies sunny and blue
Where the beaches were
Anything but mild
And the babes
They were so wild,
Yet the endless raves
Seemed so few.
As she was my turbulence
Distraction under calm seas,
****** cadence
With a purr
Like a swarm of bees,
No other will equate to her,
Why I met her; and never will again
I'll never know for sure, but then
Aren't those the ones we yearn the most for‽

With my last breath
On the throes of emotional death,
I tried to put the dying embers out,
With my last strength I wanted to shout,
The life within me flickered and I thought surely
It would die with just my intent purely;
Like her memory which I wanted to erase,
No longer did I want to remember her face;
But if it would have been that easy;
I wouldn't have felt so sick and queasy,
It wouldn't have hurt that much,
Still felt the burn of her touch;
A part of me was dying with her distance,
Away from me, a slow miserable last dance,
With her last memorable thought,
But as I was falling into the void I was caught;
I gave one last stutter
And my heart gave a weak flutter,
I gave a final yell towards the heavens; God
Bring her back; it can't end this way; and he gave a nod,
As she broke her silence like the sun  
Breaking through clouds; I put away the gun,
I picked myself up to go at it once more;
Hard to get up again with a pain difficult to ignore;
But in her return I found crutches; support
I hoped to never again find myself outside of her fort...

I've been ambling dead like a zombie
Distressed; not classy like Abercrombie;
Can't get the words out
Like a ketchup bottle needs a clout
I need a hit from my crack pipe
She had the best drugs not a hype,
But after all the therapy sessions
And the endless tears and confessions
I no longer am easily sedated
By an ounce or a pint; the effect belated
Is no where near what it used to be
When it was everyday a dose of she;
But she stayed out of reach
Like a cookie jar hidden sealed from breach
Or intrusion and my system shut down
I couldn't even laugh at a ****** ******* clown
The heat slowly dissipating from my body
Her toxins seeped out my system leaving a shody
Shamble of bones and a dull luster on my eyes,
I returned to the life I led before her; full of lies;
But I'm getting up getting out getting going,
She's back again; my narcotic supply is flowing;
I feel the slow drip drip of the IV trickle
Within me a good warm feeling; no longer fickle
I'm no longer in a sinking trodden ship
Joy is in my fingertips as I'm back on her radar glowing blip...
