Overprotective you are
Am confused if its
Her you are protecting
Or you
Coz we know the cycle of rebound
Its ...she walks head over heels,
Thinking she in heaven
Unaware of the loop holes at
The end of the road.
Only after she falls harder
Then the understanding
Dawns that
She is just but a cup cake,
Once you heal
You move leaving her
Behind.
But i can't blame you.
She allowed her self to land
In style.

Ode To You.
Every morning I see your face,
And for that fleeting second I'm in a different place,
A place where we smiled, laughed, and talked,
A place where we could hold hands wherever we walked,
I'm reminded of this each and every day.
Then the sleep clears and it's all blown away.

Realization sets in and I'm all alone.
I quickly have to check my phone
In case you've called or sent me a text.
Then it hits harder as what come next
Is the empty screen with your smiling face
And the emptiness of this forsaken place.

I wither up inside as all my hopes disappear
And the burn in my heart really starts to sear.
I sink back in my bed and think of you
And wonder if there's anything I can do.
I'm knocked back every time I try to get through,
And now the decision is up to you.

Leave me out here in the cold and the rain,
Leave me to choke on the tears and the pain,
Missing you every minute of every day,
Loving you more and more in my way.
One day, my love, this will all be like a dream.
I just hope we can dream it together in our place so serene.

Ex
The world agreed
We seperated
Opinions flooded our world
Gave up and in
But my heart remained
Aloof
You can lie to yourself
But the heart knows best
Craving your attention, affection
End goal dying by your side
Its longivity to be real
Making me desolate
But be sure am coming to get you back
Honey we ain't done yet.
Getting back the glory

Too Broken To Break
@niamornimo
Here's to the girl with the invincible spirit,
No matter how confused her soul may be.
She's been broken many times,
Searching for love that was just not there.
She's learned her lesson now, put up her wall,
And never again her heart she'll bare.
For she realized that in the end a body is still a body,
No matter whose it may be,
And love may not exist for anyone,
So we should all just settle and it'll be easy.
But she'll never give in.
All she needs is herself and whoever she is that day,
But this she'll never know,
Because life is surreal
When all she does is feel.
She thinks with her passion,
Sees the world through her heart,
Even though many times it's cold, desolate, and dark.
Yet at the same time she can see that there may be hope out there,
The one nobody else possibly can.
She's a dreamer and an idealist,
Life's greatest pessimist and realist.
She's a contradiction sure
But never a hypocrite,
Because in her soul this all somehow fits.
She wants to explore the world just to understand what she's thinking,
Dig into the deepest corners of her heart to understand the universe.
She often loses herself though,
And who she used to be she can never know.
Yet she's happy like this,
She's free and to no one she'll commit,
Except sometimes when she's all alone,
She just wants some place she can call home.
She knows every side of every story,
Because she has felt absolutely everything,
Often all at once.
This contradiction,
This ability to see in ways that no one else can,
Is it a curse or is it a gift?
Even she cannot understand how or when or why or what,
And sometimes she doesn't even know if it is.
She wants something more,
Even when she is sure there's nothing else out there.
But no, she'll never settle,
Especially for a love, if that even does exist.
She'll always hope there's something out there to bring her bliss. But she doesn't expect it and convinces herself she doesn't want it.
This is how her spirit is infinite.
Oh, how I hope there's something more than this.
Life has its ways too

@niamornimo
It hurts ever day
Longing for your presence
My heart bleeding
Continuosly waiting for your return
Everytime i look at her in your arms
It kills me.
I know you are mine
She reminded me to fight for you
I hope its not gonn **** her
Coz she a jewel too
But i will fight either way
Blood you had my heart and crazily still do

Be yourself.
@niamornimo
How many times have you missed the point even if the cross exists,
Looked at your reflection
Pin pointing all the negatives
That pitch it all louder
Till you can't take it no more,
The wishes and not wish
Lives left at maybe If,
Crying  your broken self
To a ditch you never imagined
Would get you,
But there you are throwing
A pity party for yourself
Using all manner of staff
To escape,
Don't matter the duration
Just the littlest glimpse of
Peace and safety to breathe
And be yourself.
Yeah i know what will they
Say or think of me,
The books,movies and other
personal testimonies declared.
Question is when are you going to
Ask the intertwined rhetoric of;
Why not you? instead of Why me?
The power to bring it all to a halt
Lies within you...
Surf it out to the surface
And embrace it like a lost
Son back to his fathers arms*
Its true time can't be reversed,
I say it doesn't matter,
Start now, right here.
Heaven is in you.
You got this.

TELL IT OUT
@niamornimo
Its said you never know pain
Till you begged God to heal you
I promise its true
Scars are maps to history
Night after night
Cried my little self
To sleep even if its just some
Power nap but I could not
The figure of him on top of
Me in that pink shawl
Claiming am beautiful only to dart
On the beauty
As if not done my own
Blood found a toy
He could jump on
And feel good
I tried to tell her
I could not bring it all
To context coz I had
Zero idea on what was happening
Forced to grow I was
Took in all trash
Re-cycling into positivity
Was my cup of coffee
Reckless and carefree my attitude
As I ran out of ideas
bashing out the wails buried in the
sea of tears in my stomach
Like a church mouse stuck in the sanctuary
Series of sermons almost
Like rehearsed songs
Swept like wind over my face
Was all fallacy
The daily inner battle of
What come may
Circumnavigating back to point zero
I needed to let go
Deep down I know
There is a girl I need to find
Face her and revive her
Torments never stop
As we journey on
In search of a better tomorrow
Just belief of scars are beauty marks
my voice my story
