I've seen brothers **** one another
for the wrinkled print (Dollar bill) Mama's & Sisters selling their bodies purity corrupted to pay the rent. Potential lost in countless deaths needless to most, makes me ask how can you believe in something more when brothers out here killing for less?? How can society grow if we keep taking a step backwards from our elders and ancestors progression & push to see us thrive to be the best. The cowardly hide behind the barrel as the brave but unaware at times are killed off by the no names, crazy how some people out here live their entire lives just to ****** others in exchange to make a name.(for themselves) sad to see but true... I may not have all the answers but in the end somethings have to change...

Tear stained* and damaged
So close to the truth
Looking deep inside
So much to lose
Tear stained shirt
And a tear stained cheek
Impossible to clean
Leaving the heart so weak
Tears rolling down
Asking so many questions
Getting no answers
But tear stained emotions
A devotion to tears
Fighting away the fears
Everything looks clear
Through glistening eyes
Time to apologize
To stop all the cries
Of my tear stained eyes

Take a picture - it'll last longer
Someday you'll miss these days, my dear
Take a picture - we can frame it
To remember it well when mem'ries are sour
Maybe someday the thoughts will be fonder
Always seem to be when the days last longer
But what do I know

Take a note down - scribble it out
Don't want to forget the words that were said
Take a note down - save it for later
When new lines are harsh - feel like breaking
Use some ink - don't let it fade
If it's done well colors will stay the same
Don't let it go

It hurts to let go - hurts to let go
Don't want to forget because
It hurts to let go - hurts to let go
Please come back
Need you right now - need you right now
Missing you so
Need you right now - need you right now
Come home

Take a picture - it'll last longer
Take a note down - save it for later

It's funny how I thought you
were going to be the one
who ends up hurting me,
when the person who ended up hurting me was myself.
I pushed you away when I
need you the most.

You were the only person who
could make me laugh when I was close to tears.
You were the only person who
could make me forget all my
problems.

Where are you now?

slowly slowly
oh so slowly
i like the way that you approached me

nosey nosey
they're all so nosey
you would like to know
yeah if only

good time
bad time
happy i had mine
nothing hurts more than anything thats the last time  

good time
bad time
laugh time
sad time
nothing hurts more
but im happy i've had mine

Love hurts whether it's right or wrong.

Why should I live in pieces?
I once had the best relationship with darkness
And you acquainted me with the light
I'm rejected by barren lands yet still alive in my breath
And how can you say you know about love
And how can one explain of a shadow and acceptance
Because until you share someone's pain
You don't get separated from your own
And that pain doesn't get separated from us

You apologized for venting to me
"I'm sorry for talking about this" you wrote
And I just stared at my phone
Knowing I'm the only one you can really talk to
It pained me to tell you that a love like yours does not grow cold
And a love like yours will make it
If you both try hard enough;
Despite your ****** up history and the silence you're burdened with now
It pained me to tell you that soulmates do not give up on each other-
Every word I typed felt like a stab to my chest
But I love you so much
And thats the consequence of love...
You're hung up on him
And I'm hung up on you
I'm only trying to be your rock
So you can be happy
Isn't that what 'best friends' do?
