I wanted to carry the world for you.
I could have.
Would have.
All for you.

The tears rolling silently down your face made it okay
that you weren't ready for me to stay.
The night was dark, but my heart glowed, still,
since I thought you had told me your sorrows to confide.
I thought maybe you wanted me to be your saving grace.
When I stepped back, it was because you weren't ready,
not that I wanted to be replaced.

I hope she is special. I hope she is kind.
She'd better be one hell of a lady to make you leave me behind.

I wanted to carry the world for you.
I still could.
Still would.
All for you.

Fear

I have a fear
That you will disappear
And leave me here
In this wasteland I keep
My troubles are too deep
I can never sleep
With you on my mind
I lose track of time
I know you will never be mine
And that’s just fine
You tease me every time
Now I just rhyme
It’s my new pastime
Away from all of your lies
They follow me like flies
They force me to cry
On the happiest of days
You swept me away
The first time I saw your face
You drifted up to first place
But now I just have a fear
That you will go far away from here
And date another girl
From a whole other world

Stumbling Choices

Hopes die when your trust overdoses, strange.
From the little things I saw came admiration,
Like hot lava it slowly but with quantity it filled.
And rapidly did it started turning into stone unaware.

Exchange of words would be great joy,
Only until her decision was to lose interest.
Little by little I saw it coming collapsing down,
Yet I denied judgements and chose patience.

Sometimes everything looked so easer,
I never knew how they change so fast.
Dying to reach a place in her heart, rejection
Just one word to vanquish all you're.

The so called fortress of hope shattered,
A barren wasteland is what's left of it.
Confusing to understand why all the time
Leaves you unanswered intuitions.

Constant and stable is an unpredictable paradox.
Forget all and go on or stay and wait,
Stumbling upon choices when thoughts invade your mind,
Always the unpleasant but still confounding,
Fight the painful war thence you may reign once, at least!

Still...

I still romanticize everything about you
Forgetting why we never worked
Letting my past out like the string on a kite
Letting your voice swoop me up like a storms breeze
With ease

I still notice the tiny details about you
Your nose like a roman god
freckles like the night time sky
Keeping my feelings in like the lock on an ancient chest
Keeping my mouth quiet like a hollow winter night
To make things alright

I still love you in a way
Not like lovers, a brother, or a friend
It's complicated
But I push it away like high tide to the sand
Push myself to get over you
Even though you don't have to

Will you be with me?
No. You are not good enough.
Yes, I see that now :-(

Controversial use of a sad face here

Youth (for you)

For to be younger
To be naive again is my dream
I have seen what is unwanted
and experienced pain I knew not of
I want to be new for you
I was not like this
I must live with the decisions
I should have thought of you then...
To have your lips
Pressed to mine
For the first time
Even for me

I was inspired to write this when I was rejected by a girl that I thought was pretty amazing. It hurt because she rejected me because of the past mistakes I had made in my life.

Infectious Thoughts

Did I come off to strong,
Did I do it all wrong,
Was it desperation,
or maybe an exasperation,
I ****** it all up,
Contamination,
I need to face it,
Memorize and trace it,
I can't fake it,
Impostor,
I think I lost her,
But did I ever have her,
This is just one big disaster,
That I have yet to master,
Thoughts,
Please leave my mind faster,
I need a pastor,
Whats the factor,
This moment I capture,
So I can look back at it in the future,
And see that i'm such a loser,
I want to be close,
But fall short,
I can't possibly retort,
So I hide in my forbidden fort,
Lost,
fading,
Dreading,
Letting Go,
I let go.

When you feel like you tried to hard and made it awkward...

i tried my best

the necklace he wore turned to a noose,
his neck stretched until he looked like a goose.
i tried to hold him up, but he fell apart and when he fell, so did his heart.
it shattered to shards once it hit the floor, blood burst forth staining the windows, walls, and the door.
in crimson, four words were written: “i tried my best.”
