I feel your cold sighs over my shoulder
All the lies brought to light
The things you've done are magnified
Its not like I want you
Don't let it, get it, hit it
Broken into shards
Misunderstood the concept
Its time, to feel fine
Throw out, come on
We have much time
Its our turn, to go
We'll die, and you'll live your life
Filled with guilt, blackness filled void
Darkness is hard to avoid
I am the only light you can perceive
Get lost, its done, pointless
You freak, you don't realize it yet
You have been deceived
Wish once again
I can help you this time
"I wish I wasn't here"
Alive, fallen in despair
Deep breathing, gasping for some air
Its gone
Soul and mind
No longer coexist and let it be lost
4 life we will make this our backbone
To every great thought wasted
Is you in it
4 life, i've tasted the last of your affection
I couldn't be more disappointed
but this is your life and this is how you chose to live it
and I saw the look in her eyes
I could tell shes had better
So girl why are you wasting your time with me
So girl why'd you waste your breath on me
bet you thought you knew it all
bet you thought that I would fall
but thats not what you wanted at all
you can't deal with it because i'm different
you're beautiful but what does beauty have to do with this unrequited love
:Everything
I loved who you were so I looked past the flaws
which made all the difference in the world
And through your eyes you've picked me apart
Like what I had to offer wasn't ideal to you
but thats not true because no matter what I do, I'll never be the one for you
this is my poem and not yours so don't try to point out any "mistakes"
Your ambitions seem to fall
Underneath a messy sheet
I tried to avoid it but it was too much
Hit straight on I couldn't feel a thing
The pain that arrived
Left so quickly
I've said this before
I'm done with the games
When ever you're ready just call my name
A firm grip with hands fully extent
Pressures rise when I meet your eyes
Fists clenched, I know I'm not your type
Its not till now that I see, you meet all my tastes
I don't even know you
I let you stir trouble in my mind
Gave a stranger access to my emotions
Cause me to have misfires in my mood
I feel angst in my soul and see my hearts aura explode
No control, no taking hold of it, don't look back on me
This is a tragedy, its a force of mischief
Enlightened by my mysterious characteristics
You try to get closer but I am chained
You say you have the keys
You tell me not to be afraid
I sat there defenseless and opened up the doors
Because I knew I wouldn't have to worry about getting hurt again
If I am a joke to you
Then it won't be a problem if I walk away
I’m done entertaining you
And the idea of ever having you
I guess that was the true joke
One that still makes me laugh
You just opened a bad omen and now you can’t stop reading it till you reach its end

Living in a time where depression is a good reason to die
Soon you’ll only be able to talk to me through prayer

You know whats sad? Your laughing at me and mocking me. How could you overlook me? Why are you always going to count me out? You haven't even seen my best.

Is it kindness thats giving me the will to live?
To take away my own life
A life connected to all of those who love me
Is it mean to tear that all a part
Just because I'm dealing with a broken heart

Theres a dark man at your door and you don't know if you should answer it.
He spends his time inside your mind trying to give you reasons to die until you finally decide he's right, that's when the devil wins, when you become so fond of the idea of death because you feel like life isn't worth living
When will she see
What she means to me
Open your eyes to the obvious baby
You're the girl of my dreams
While you silently sleep
I'll be waiting in your dreams
Can you feel my heartbeat
The rhythm of my body
It's her 21st Birthday and she’s out with her "friends"
So the first shot was on the house tonight
She believes she’s tipsy but that's not what I heard when she called me that night
She is going to die on her way home tonight
Not even an Uber would have saved her life
From a drunk driver going down the wrong side
and only one witness makes it out alive
that was me, on the phone
I cried
How could something so cliché
end a life
Heard ya was in danger
So im here to save ya
**** now that i'm the one needin the savin
You wont save me
And I died
And the hate i feel in my heart isn't for you
Its the pain that it brings
And thats what I get for loving you
I would have never guessed that it would be you
Even though you know it you wont tell me how you feel
Its what kills me
To feel alone to feel like you never cared
I thought this was a combined effort but instead I was always on my own
I know you love me but you wont admit it
You don't believe in me
Yet I always prove myself
Its just another case of bad luck
And with bad timing
It was you this whole time
I wish I had known
You don't need me
I don't need you
Those are obvious facts
None that were ever true
Remain persistent
Thoughts consistent
Where ever that went
It was time well spent
Not a moment too soon
Should I release my consent
I found it dwelling beneath
All of my black crude arrogance
Lays in the smoldering cinders
Of what once was our hope
No future between us
Only decades apart
Do we truly start crumbling apart
Decayed and blown ashes
We cross paths as dust
Don't you dare stay
This isn't your place to begin with
Don't you change your mind
This isn't what it was before
I'm destroyed and theres nothing that can fix it
I let you go and you were happy
I chose this route because of you
Thats why I'm not happy
It was always you
I had to lose
I wasn't the one
You are the sacrifice I made
My decisions led to suffering
I sense the pains rising from within
The uncertainty of the length
The time it takes to go away
The life is yours, here it lays
Distances farther than heaven
I am here alone, I hope you see
It may be nothing, I know its broke
But still remains
My heart
Forever yours
This life calls for uncertainty
With you my love I'll never be certain
This life leaves messages for us
Those messages all left unheard
We are those children left ignored
The children grow and explore
As we leave this phase we lose our worth
Till we find the face of innocence
Our youth will yet again be restored
Basically she said 'I don't need you'
With out moving her lips
I read it from the signs
The signs they led me to the conclusion
That I may not even need you
You're my best friend
And we live such lonely lives
The necessity of ones comfort isn't required in everyday life
So my emotions begin to pack and leave my being
Because I'm done being used
Because I let you
And I still let you but I no longer poses those emotions to show you that I want you
And I know you know
Doubt never entered your mind when it came to my feelings for you
I surpassed the limit of my patience
My anger is settled and my temper has faded
Let alone my soul thats the one thing you can never change
Nor love nor lust
I believe in a higher trust
I hold grieve deep in my heart
Keep digging girl you're getting deeper
Sadly you only scratched the surface
God has put us on this world with purpose
Don't shame it, fulfill it
I laid down my heart for you
Fate came along to drag us apart
Lost souls flowing freely
I catch them as they wander
Crawling helplessly hoping to escape
In this life you must find the exit gate
Give up and be stuck forever
So many doors to take
Rest your head down and pray
Forgiveness isn't dead its never too late
Expose vulnerability and it will be your undoing
Close those doors because you know you can't go through em
White lights there to guide you
Tightropes test your balance
Fall down and I'll be there
Waiting to take you to my secret palace
Please dive into my arms tonight
In our world: Dream Central
Too much to risk
So much put on the line
I wont be putting my time to waste
I can feel you
You're so far away
The roots on my legs remain
I'm stuck in one place
Yet you want me to show my face
I struggle to move
Only dreams help me get closer to you
Grime covers my eyes
Heavy storms pass me by
I can finally see
The truth is so blindingly bright
No more games
Done with the pain
I was never playing
Take my heart and keep it
Anything that tries to hurt me
I wont be able to feel it
It wasn't too late
Before sacrifices were made
Misery turned to motivation
Watching it all become a waste
So don't waste my time
I'm here for one thing
So blow my mind
Since you're not mine
Its not the same
I know I don't belong
Just let me in tonight
&tomorrow; i'm gone
This world has me in transitions
From good to bad
But deep in my roots
I'll always be good
This image is just a shield
Protecting me from unnecessary pain
You say you know who I am
You say you're reading me
Yet you haven't opened a page
My hardcover may be misleading
But what it contains
Is nothing but a blank
Undecided in a society of pressure
With no identity I roam free
Of becoming anything I want to be
every waking morning
the lit room that I sleep in
I ponder on her existence
I know she's in a better place
I know theres someone else
who is this about
obsessed with love
you can't run away from it
its something we witness everyday
there's no ignoring it
ongoing battle inside ourselves
we're all conflicted
slaves to the desires
chasing stars that seem impossible to reach
diving deep into oceans that seem to have no end
with the same mind and the same heart from before
everything left unchanged
I can't move on from this
I still love you
A cocoon filled with hate
Time is everything  
Yet I always arrive late
Rejecting all that I have to bring
A cocoon filled of regret
So sorry you had to wait
Loving me is no debate
Love is nothing to play with
Its not a thing to persuade
Ya don't even need me so why try
Love isn't made to convince
Its the peace in you I find beautiful
A lonely soul blessed on a journey
Keep walking your path to exile
We ought to find one another eventually
Thoughts never stop to pour out
Not even drips because its a broken water main leaking back in to an ocean of countless careless things
Contamination never seemed to pass through your filters
As pure as the warmth coming from your fingers
Don't turn back or look the other way
To all the problems you should've avoided
Whats here is yours to claim
Everything you've done has summed up the value of the name you hold
If thats really your name
Who are you really and whats the act you're playing
Own up to your name to feel whole again
Let go, to regain new strength to combat the evils on your crooked path
Its all on one line that never ends
You may seem to be on a loop
Its all inside of you, the things that intoxicate you
Everything remains continuous
I'm happy for you but I'm sad for me
We don't see eye to eye
Thats why you're always the first to leave
Thoughts of suicide I no longer feel alive
I'm frozen over with your absence
I need to find my own warmth
The memories of the times we spent together doused in gasoline
I try lighting it but the sparks aren't enough
My hearts like a freezer and my soul is locked inside
Screaming out in pain from the burns of the frost
Slowly spreading within my chest
She'll bury a seed deep in your heart and when it grows you won't even know what to do with the new life thats waiting to be exposed
You want to **** it but it's so beautiful
I have so much to give
And nothing to lose
Time is running out on me
They only gave me two years
Two years of feeling free
I've been given an opportunity
One I never wanted
At least with a time period
Life isn't a trial so why put an expiration
There's nothing worth chasing anymore
So I fall flat on my back and forget I ever had a heart
I fall infinitely in to my own self
Never going to get back up
She hates my guts
Oh how she hates
Its how much I love her though
And my soul implodes at her very being
Came in to my life like some lost child
I offered her everything I had to offer
By helping her I was helping myself
I lost who I was
I've become what I am
I'm nothing lesser than a man
Every human bleeds
This isn't a movie
Invincibility only lasts in art
So our love never died
Because it lives on in my words
The poor words of a broken poet
It was you or the world,
I cried when I chose you girl
Deny it all tonight baby
I know you'll change your mind
By morning comes, its rise and shine
By and by, the day ends
To my surprise tonight its ride or die
One misguided step, its your call
Come on by, see what needs to be seen
Be what you want to be
Be all that you need to be
If you're everything that I want
That would make you: nothing
All words have been said, come pick up your spirits
Clean up the filth that you've left
Respirating so desperately, get these things off my flesh
Alone I whimper in my self made deception I believed to be my life
Tonight you'll catch me riding but tomorrow you'll find me dying
Stop me, while I'm still alive
You open yourself

But not emotionally

The slide of a sharp blade

Sharp because you have soft skin

The pain she feels isn't real enough

I took her hand and whispered in her ear

I know of sharper blades

Look into my eyes and I'll cut deep into you

But instead of pain

You will feel me touching your skin like silk

Kissing the most fragile parts of you

So now you wont have to wonder what deaths like

Please accept my gift and live your life
Colors seem to fade
Vision is taken away
Same faces everyday
Worthy of recieving honor
My soul giving out
My heart pouring out
Small touch of your skin
Another touch it'd be sin
To be loved is pretty great
Lust must be displaced
Blackness turns to grey
Transformations night and day
We are all owls
Suddenly we behave
In a awkward kind of way
A behavior that no one can take away
Depressed by night
Moon hear our howls
Its the scent to her skin
Shes the one who drives you wild
The girl that just can't be peeled from you
Spiritual connections I jump in to her mind from mine
So much that I can see her when I close my eyes
Expressions of pleasure it seems
This is no winning game  
I failed before I could make a move
Now I stand here and watch you bleed
I had nothing to offer
But I wonder how much you got
How much can you make out of nothing
Because nothing is all that I gave you
Yet you took it
It was a mistake, everything becoming what it is
I took it so far
To you it wasn't enough
Putting sweat and blood for you
In the end it all had to go
Truth is you never let me know
That you've already been carried away by the flow
Everything that happens in the moment is okay to you
But nothing is okay it wasn't right yet you did it
Why did you do it
if Jesus told me to write
several notes here etched for you
read from tablets of stone
there she goes
far from the grasp of my reach
there she goes
I still stand before her
as she leaves through the gates
gilded with the purest mineral
I still stand before her
taking her shame along
this is a good bye, so long
*so long so long so long
A flower only blooms in sunlight
but you have managed to not lose sight
in this God-Awful darkness
in loves mercy is your only bliss
a silent but deadly kiss
your own love couldn't even diminish
just needs to be replenished
cough, crawl, cry coward cry
let your fever go sky high
and hide every struggle, every sigh
and let your smile go on for a while
just smile
because a flower only blooms in sunlight
after every storm comes a rainbow
after every tear comes your own show
where they come to entertain you
to please you
give everything that life's taken away from you
and love you
so grow my dark rose,
my dark heart
grow
I know you're not mine
But in my poetry you've always been with me
I wanna take you high
Grab you by the hand
Give you the ring that'll change your life
I've seen your past and I still want you
For the woman you've become
I'll be the man you can hold on to
Baby don't let go
All my actions will mean nothing
Everything I poured into you
I just want to stop your suffering
But I can see that you just want to be left alone
You'd rather depend on yourself and do things on your own
But I'm not tryin' to help
You were a rose still on the bush and I was too late to pick you
Now I am forced to watch you die
Nothing I can do about it now
Its karma falling down from your black cloud
Vines grow
Wrapped around the skin
The skin of a lion
King of kings
Sail the skies with your ships
You'll never sink
See that the sun sets
Thats when the sky's pink
Full of sulfuric love
Clouds of puff
Rest your vessel on this pillow
Cotton and feathers
Will it all be soft enough
Or will the grayness
Coming from warm waters
Rough it all up
Can it weather this pressure
Dropping no anchors
Focused onward
What lies far ahead
Is the treasure
Only found after death
My body feels numb
You make it hard to breathe
I hold my breath so I can listen to your body
I hear it crying out my name
With every gentle motion
The passion in my soul burns higher
The flames glow brighter
Don't quit
Keep feeding the fire
I've never felt this urgency
To repeat every memory
Where we could love happily
Don't take it so rough now girl
I'll make this easy
And whistling all around us
Is the shear sparks of our passion
Hear them crack against our devolved skin
Our souls mix with each other
Theres no other with the capability of owning this type of compatibility  
And I pray
Could this no longer be a struggle
Just let us be
What we are:
Lovers
A soldier like me
Can't show weakness
So I've been keepin ya a secret
Can't let the world know I have a weak spot
That the one thing that can destroy me is you
If they ever found you I don't know what I'd do
But i'll go through hell to protect you
I'll die over and over again just to hear you breathe
Because I would push past previous limits
At the cost to see you live
Sacrificing everything just to keep you
Putting it all on the line so I don't lose you
All feelings detached
I can't even sense you
You were always so out of reach
But something was always pulling us closer
Now that I've torn all bridges apart
I can no longer touch you
The touch only the soul can make
Now I sense an unbearable pain
I've been attached again
But this time its not with you
Chills cover all of my body
Tingling underneath my skin
Never thought it would end this way
A promise in the form of a ring
A commitment only a real man would make
From all my flawed memories
I can still see the sands of time trickle
Labeled hope because there is no time left for me
I know this wont be the end of me
Theres a gift only given to those worthy
Please give me a miracle
Given nothing to produce everything
These thoughts conjured in my mind
Give me time to release these dragons
Watch them blow fire over my conflicts
I was given nothing so I could give you everything
The only thing I got is heart  
This determination can be seen in my eyes
Its a fire blowing steady never to go out
Its the suffering before the glory
Don't hold onto these words
They hold no promises
Look in my soul and search for the fire
Thats where the real promise lies
I hope that you're the one
To be able to perceive it
A passion burning stronger than the sun
If you feel this then you're the one who is about to receive it
Stop loving me
Stop faking
Stop everything
The stillness in my breath
Is the fear I have in you
Start hating me
Start honest
Start over
I can't gather my thoughts
Thought this through
I can't sustain the damage
I still see the worth
In those damaged goods
You never lost your value
Nothing can break through your gilded barrier
I treasure your very existence
Every breath of yours should be savored
A life like yours can't go to waste
As tall as you as strong as you
Those walls will remain standing forever
Above the clouds slumbering peacefully
Nothing can touch you
Don't let nobody wake you
Theres a dream that keeps you trapped in deep sleep
But who is he? Who is he? Why does he keep you asleep?
Its the past that keeps bugging you
Its no wonder you've sleepwalked through it all
Nothing is there to help you
This dream you call a nightmare
Is nothing that could compare
With the horrors of the unknown
Tell me what you know about the future
You are a victim of your own appearance
Don't let yourself be judged, I know you don't
The way you see yourself means everything
Buts thats not right, don't go far enough to be someone your not
Don't turn sides, wether you're confused or not
If you do you'll be consumed by your own self admiration
That you will no longer be on the bright side
You want to be appreciated then stop hiding and come out of the dark side
Though I waited for your love
I received nothing but your kindness
I could feel it in your eyes
And the feelings that lay behind
Its deteriorating me from inside
I am left with no emotion
So take an ounce of my love
Cause I don't need it
The flow of love halts to a stop
My heart starts to drop
Cause I don't feed it
The love it desires
Girl you eliminated all the darkness in my life
All the love I can see it through your eyes
You don't even have to tell me
I can finally see the light coming from your eyes
Fulfilled my life and my soul burns bright
Always been the one to be there for me
Always been the girl of my dreams
The feelings you hide are so obvious
Fate has stepped in and now I can't stop it
You've always belonged to me
I just realized what you mean to me
All my life I have been unsure with myself
And now I finally feel complete
I've been starving myself my whole life just waiting on the right pizza to eat
You're the perfect pizza slice that I can't wait to eat
When theres doubt in my mind
I can feel the pain lingering through your eyes
Its hidden in disguise
The clues to your evident denial
The sequence of your steps
Strokes of fear and regret
Death, misery and sorrow all share common bonds but will never swallow the entity in which we follow
I believe that there is a God
There is good in this world, theres a face which we can praise
Look to him and remember what he gave you
All this life here dwindling down to your last moments of distrust
Its pretty large, its not too small, its out there where we can all lay our tiny little eyeballs out and see that you're nothing but a disgrace
Its the race that your proud of, we can't take that notion for granted so we bury it deep inside where there lurks nothing but mischief and hopes for a way to escape
I see nothing more, I can't forget that night when we loved but knew that there was no one knocking on our hearts door
So we lay our poor souls down, falling out like the petals of a poor bouquet left unappreciated
Endless times where we have nothing to say, theres times like these
Time where we, enjoy our lives, where we just let things be
Theres this new feeling, down in me, just now being born in me
And I feel, that I've lost, the unique seed that grows out of me
The past is gone, my time is done, dried out and left to bleed
I am apart of a cycle, like the leaves on a tree
Get it together
Theres a sun under that nasty weather
Time is all that holds you back
I really hope that you get better
Staking it all for once, this was all you ever cried for
The truth hidden behind the ocean of lies
You allowed time to pass you by so quick
You were never on your own
Tonight this becomes OUR crime
Youth inside the crevice of your mind rendered blind
Time passes, hour glasses, crazy how they fly
Reminded by the fine grains of gravel in your eyes
Watch the erosion from your tears wear away your foresight
The blood wiped clean, these toxins can't penetrate too soon
Slowly fade away, the drugs can't fight for you forever
Stop trying to terminate it, Stop where you are
The exit isn't far from here but there's no escaping destiny
Shred up the evidence of any severed wreckages
Stranded thoughts within the quicksand’s of a mind outside of prejudice
Erase the messages
Evacuate the residence
This competence won’t go ignored
I felt too many feelings and now I'm going to back you down to the ground with the affliction of my own pains that lingered and still dwell in these pits of agony I call my own
Traced faintly along your soft skin
The kisses of a sneaky serpent
I don't know why you listened to sin
You've took the bite off the wrong fruit
You are blind for that reason
Thats why you're with him
But not even I understand
Why you said yes to the poison
It carries its infections to your mind
It was never up to you to decide
Chances were that I was on the wrong side
I still haven't given up
Although every night I am one day closer
Death is waiting for my time to end
So tonight I will die
Because you're all I ever cried for
But in the morning I'll be alive
So the cycle continues
Till you're back in my life
We are forced to change
To adapt to the things around us
Our environment never stays the same
So don't be surprised when the people around you switch up on you
**** happens so fast but I don't give a ****
Lost control of my deepest emotions
But that was back then
Now I have them in a choke hold
I am like a blank CD with many scratches
Try to play me and you'll get nothing but static
My thoughts flow and my mouth stutters
The sight of you makes my butterflies flutter
The loss of you though
I still feel the shivers
The stars search for a world to light up
But no world would light up
One star sad and alone
Dies and blows up
Supernova  
Now every world lights up
Every world powdered in star dust
But its too late because the star's gone
one stroke of your brush
to put your mark
those rosy lips
compliments make you blush
kiss me softly
to **** me slowly
tonight its just you and me
tomorrow i'll be dead
like I never existed
strike my name off your list
you're more in love with your game
than you could ever love another
Give up your future
Lose all your friends
Use up all your time
Sleep late nights
Sacrifice your pride
Gave you everything
From you I got nothing
