My heart beats
So my heart will speak
My heart knows
So my heart will choose

My heart gives
Then my heart will beg
My heart loves
Then my heart will hate

My heart breaks
But my heart will heal
My heart dies
But my heart will live...

THE WORLD OF ME AND YOU

My eyes are dark from seeing
The pain of my fellow people from the beating
Of the problems and trials
Betrayals and denials

Corruption is widespread
S** in teenagers heads
What are we to do
With the world of me and you

Innocents are killed every day
Children are abused every way
Now I'm here to say
Let's make a difference, okay?

Let's make the world a better place
Back to its former grace
So that the beauty we can once more see
And every man can live free

Where black and white people are best friends
Where peaceful agreements are all that is needed to make amends
Where a person can love whoever he or she wants
Where a rich man shares his wealth instead of flaunts

Is this to big of a wish to ask?
To long and hard of a task?
Will this mission take forever?
No! It will not if we stick together
What am I
When our lips are miles apart
And the words
you whisper
Are not for me
What am I
When you run your fingers
Through the hair
Of an unknown beauty
One of many
What am I
When you give me wings
To fly away
but cut them off
As you please
What am I
When your eyes are blind
To the pain you cause
When you call me love
What am I
My love
What am I to you

Last night, I fell apart.
I woke up blanketed in sodden ash,
Tears saturated into the eruption's fallout
The proximity of crackling fire assaulting my senses,
I was still angry.

I felt intoxicated, drunk on words never said
But the ones that were spoken lay spiked into my head
Partners apart, but strangers together
The hawks are gone in my life, but you can still find the feathers

Questions slicing through my mind
I run away from stormy brine
These tears that fall, I think you know
Have haunted me since long ago

Buried in formaldehyde
These skeletons reflect our inside
The secrets that we made to keep
Take me before I fall asleep

Though you're my fixer and my mess
The walls echo with you less and less
I fear it's not you running from me
I'm forgetting what we used to be
"You want them when they don't want you,
Soon as they do, feelings change"
