the black rose Feb 2019

it’s like my feelings are a game
& my heart is the main entrance to the place where you go to get your rocks off.
then leave when you become bored.
we won’t see you for several days or even several months
until one day you come strolling in with your perfect essence & words of affection.
carelessly flinging around emotions and seeking amusement through my misery.
you’re no different.

you’re no different..

wasted love

-
i can put it on my life
and everything i love.
i gave you all i had
but my all wasn’t enough.
never crossed no lines,
never did you no wrong.
tried to wait for the right moment,
guess i waited too long.
my love had no pride
i loved with no lies,
& i loved you when i didn’t even know why.
wasted time,
love got away from us.
waste of time
cause we ran away from love.
ain’t even been a week,
im not weak
but i can’t even sleep.
it’s you im needing
& you won’t even speak..
how did love get away from us?
-
guess it’s not my time,
maybe i should wait for love.

i had a dream..

& i don’t know how much weight visions hold on your scale of zero to relevant,
but i know that mine are not to be threaded upon lightly.
i don’t dream much,
but like the first time i missed it,
twice in specific
you were the target of submission.
feelings and spaces so vivid
but so much still left unclear.
& i could feel you so direct
like you were standing right there....

update

update

been falling asleep to the sounds of you,
mocking me.
& every time you say you’re gone,
i hope for good.
from September of 17
to new beginnings in 19;
from raging enemies,
to dreams of all that could.
-
like all of our personalities had split personalities,
inconsistency played big reality.
& im always crushed when you leave.
the first few days are a breeze
then all my old wounds start to bleed.
i can’t control my breathing,
i am never at ease with you
and yet i always want to see you through.
and yet ill always wish the best for you.

house & home

im not saying everyday will be sunshine filled
and im not saying everyday will be calm & still.
im just saying don’t make yourself a home in the madness,
just make your bed,
& stay the night,
to make acquaintance with sadness.
pack up your things,
& make an effort,
move on.
cause you will surely lose yourself
if you stay for too long.

most of us

most of us are fighting wars within ourselves;
& we project them onto people that are sent to be of help.
most of us are too busy,
most of us are too linear in the way we are living.
most of us want to love
but aren’t prone to forgiving.
most of us are full of pride,
most of us just run & hide.
most of us,
we know the truth
but we stay comfortable in lies.
most of us are everything that we despise.

wicked games

the smallest measures
are the trigger to the most violent break downs,
that’s how i know
that it’s a war and not a game.
a thousand miles in just one minute,
a loaded gun,
erasing moral innocence,
dismissing all of soul’s initial claims.

she knows

two minute series speaking volume,
sharing hints when i am cynical.
yours words always seem viable,
they take control of my mental.
you know she knows
that’s why you’re quick to question loyalty.
you know she knows that you’re not fit to prove your loyalty.
i am the catch
& if you disagree
you’re dismissed
you see,
i **** egos,
make them none to exist.

unrequited luv

witnessing a love so unrequited;
bad energies invited,
with open arms
but uninviting.
no true intentions,
not enlightened.

plot twist: love.

love has turned us into enemies,
a love gone spoiled,
a broken bond.
we lost touch with loving energies
we’re enemies.
but we’re supposed to be in love.
love wasn’t enough
to keep us in love.
we’re out of touch
so beautiful,
what it could’ve been.
