#brokeness
We keep breaking the other only to pick the broken pieces off the ground Either we put the pieces together or leave them down We can’t go on forever and not find a piece of us around

Broken Pieces of Us
# She is hiding behind her projected frumpiness.. but when my young lovely takes off her glasses;    Ah,    **** Those eyes are the reason men were given theirs. Group facilitator is Christ incarnate..                                       I am sure of it.      "How well do you want to get, Paul" I look over at her-- curled up on a chair pad.. hiding,  wondering Looking down.. and then looking up at me wondering if I'm gonna answer him;       "Paul?  Are you there?" I stare at her--  all alone, biting the back of her fingers fighting tears few in this world would understand There is roll-playing  in the group using both action and Word    **to climb all over me    and uncover me from where I hide.** He (my Jesus with an MA) is staring at me,  inviting I look back over at her "I'm not leaving it, Dave"               "Leaving what. Paul?" ***"My brokenness.. its shattering of my soul"*** He is staring at me, but begins to smile. I look over at her,  and just know   I will be with her forever #

I open my eyes But can't open my heart It's a door tightly shut So new love can't start Looking for an antidote To take the pain away Heal my brokenness I want to feel okay Find myself between two walls One is hope The other fear I can't climb over either Frozen in place here I know I'm not the easiest Soul to love and adore I try my best most days I live But still should be doing more I push away caring arms Force myself to be alone It's safer to suffer solitude Than risk venturing into unknown The past haunts my every move Reminding me of my mistakes So foolish though I never learn How much more regret will it take?

Open My Eyes
There she was. A beautiful little rose. But heartbreak after heartbreak. She looses her precious petals. Until nothing was left of her.

There he was With his black velvet heart Smooth to touch, to feel, to love Drawing me into that luxuriousness of this man Something so soft, but so dark, so dark. So I continued to be drawn by the softness, the richness The dark eyes, dark hair, oh the lair Once captured there was no escape My heart forever was bound by his sultry all No escape for whom we fall. I shall never leave my cell Of love that is lost and at great cost Was my love was for him. In my dreams he does come But only with pain To hurt me, break me over again Oh the love that was lost at such a great cost. I lost my heart to him and to him alone My sweet innocent heart placed at his throne Till death do us part was so very wrong It simply did not last that long But for him my mind does still roam. To love again I will never impart Because of his black velvet heart. The End

But, your "together" was only "to get her" , nothing more. Love was not present on that relationship that she once had.

No longer the guardian. No longer the hero. Simply a soldier, a pawn in the battle, unnoticed, fighting your own small battles, your shield and skin and soul marked, somehow still standing, somehow able to wake in the new morning, stand, and prepare for battle one more time. There are no victories, only the tide of war, the ebb and flow. and a determination not to drown in your own blood, sure now, after a decade and more, that you will not die of your wounds. Even the broken have power. It is all a matter of how, or if you choose to wield it.

Brokeness (Haiku/Senyru)
Hours Hours have gone by Days Days have gone by A year A full year has gone by Since meeting you Since touching you Kissing you Falling for you I remember it like it was yesterday Your memories haunt me everyday I think about you like your still apart of me Making me wish I could relive just that one day Will I ever learn to forget you? Or will you always be apart of me? You consume me A touch Makes me remember is how you held me A kiss How yours is still the only one that will staisfy me I meet strangers to forget you But all it ever left me was wanting more of you

It will always be you
My heart has been broken for too long now. It seems like an eternity of all now. Nothing's the same and everythings gone. But as much as I want this to end somethings wrong. The brokenness just doesn't feel like normal heartbreak. Though I know I can never make up for your mistake. So I'm just stuck For ever Wondering how. It makes my Feel so D   o    w       n          .

Heartbreak
I'm choking on oxygen My palms are sweating too much My heart is jumping inside my chest My brain is on a drunken haywire I'm literally left speechless and dazed I didn't see this coming You're standing in front of me Once again I get a glimpse of you A glimpse that I would've killed for In what was like a lifetime ago You render me helpless I thought I was done with this My life was back on track again My heart healing from the wounds That your departure inflicted on me And yet here I am Time froze again for me Because as the pain resurfaced in me You seem like you're having fun Living life as if nothing happened And yet you left me in misery How dare you smile in front of me Showing me expressions that I've never seen before Your smile a mockery of the harrowing experience Of everything I went through because of you I'm trying not to sob You look like you own the world Being happy with someone else nowadays Yet here I am frozen and dumbstruck As you blatantly ignore me when our eyes met Here I go again Spiraling in a downward depression Feeling used and abused When I simply gave my all to you And you show me how insignificant I am to you I'm done with this I'm done with you and your cruel heart That enjoys the misery of those she left That craves attention only for self fulfillment And leaves destruction in your wake You are a storm As storm that passed by my life Who's torrential downpour I craved But left me destroyed and broken Leaving me to die out of breath This is the last goodbye I never want anything from you Whose love is too hellish to earn I never want to go through this again Even if it leaves me wanting more from you See what mess you left me in?

I grew up in the putrid decay of trauma Trying to reconstruct the systems drama Playing a part of victimized slaughter. Of every word of hope I had, every laugh Every stab, every push in the back every part of love I lack Every piece of hate I contract. Man I'm losing track. Keeping every Jenga piece in the stack. And I hate the negativity I attract. Thats why I’m trying something new. Turning my progression into something true. Every copy, Every piece, Everything I do Constructed into a new brand of truth And as time is passing. Voices are still asking. Why is this white kid up here rapping. And I ‘ll tell you why this is my passion. I hate the thought of our trauma crashing. Making the better of us while the devil is laughing. And in a corrupt world where body’s are stacking and hurt is open traffic. And the only frequency we receive is static.  And the fact that my mom was an attic only adds comfort to my panic. This system is nerving ending. And the shock is sending a mixed wave of pending impulses. And when the action is constructed, Their only thoughts are the past your stuffed with. Gagged and fed in. The hate of what you did that you’re continuously stuck with. And no matter your current sins. You are still given the opportunity to be forgiven. Points are misconstrued. Any question, Every answer. Anything you choose. Lets pick one to re-construe. Our systems are filled with hate. Abuse to recreate. Siblings are disconnected. And our worlds are fed with the continuous negativity within our media that our minds our sent with. Peace within the races is drifted apart. And theres no light in the dark. Only bodies of morals that were taken from the start. Blood fashioned into a negative art. There’s racial divide right where the lines are. And the distance of peace is mile like far. Crimes committed every hour by the powered while someone innocent is arrested every hour. And when the diverted posture of hate is playing a part to keep our mouths sour. Eyes are closed. Centuries of neglect rose. And hatred is like fire ready to emerge from the stove. And our ideas of morals are completely distorted. Warped and contorted. Flooded with the pattern of systematic blood. Ideas of change are purposely adverted. Not enough pineal glands Removed  from the skin when the knife is inserted. The system designed to keep us devoured. Within the difference of civil slavery and power. You want something to pray about. What about the neglect of the deaths of the ones who are left. And yet we are still having *** with the devil, who is the one to meddle with our lively hood.  And yet those things aren’t understood. The first thing to truth being unearthed is.   The possibility of the word ‘could’. And then change can finally give birth.

Beautiful disaster
My heart hurts... and I feel burned... I feel USED! AND ABUSED! AND TORN! I'm not mad at you but at me. I just.... want.... to flee.... INTO YOUR ARMS! **** you don't like rhymes, I'll stop. Why could not I have been ready for you when you were ready for me... I'm sorry. I cried when I saw your book of scraps and pictures today. Never have I ever, felt, so, loved. I guess I thought it was a game. Time to stand up cause I lost, never have I ever. Because you weren't a game but a person, that's been used and abused yet somehow stayed true despite the blue....shit there I got again. I do it cause it's easy. Unlike you, I just... wish we could anew. I'm not sorry I still love you

This, is, so, hard...
a stone              that falls                               down a                                                hill,                                                         rolls. a mind                 that escapes                                         reality,                                                        exceeds. but a            heart that                               bleeds out                                                    tolerance,                                                                      breaks.

They say learn to let go Let go with love and kindess But wouldn't that entrap you with blindness Others say hate to let go But wouldn't that hurt you more Won't that break you to the core For me love the memories But never hate consume you For this is all treasuries Treasuries to store in your heart For this is loves art The beauty of love Always love what you had Always love the little things For those little moments and memories These are what makes love special This is the beauty of love

Beauty of Love
*I feel lonely every time I think of you; My first love I thought I found the perfect match for me; The match for my heart But you slipped away between my fingers Now you belonged to me no more; The saddest sad I must fight each day and night to live and love again; Like I used to be I'm counting on time to pass quickly but time is infinity; Eternity is a long time What is wrong with me? Do others feel the same way or is it only me, myself and I? So, so crazy for you I would wait every morning and evening; Even for eternity Until you come back Whether in this life or the next I want to be with you forever and a day; My first love.*

My First Love
Eto ako ngayon, nakahiga kama ko isipan ay walang laman kun’di ikaw. nababaliw sa bawat senaryo na kasama ka. Ilang beses ko na naisip at na plano ang gagawin sa oras na dumating ang panahon na kailangan gumawa ng desisyon kung pagpapatuloy ba natin ang ating pagsasama. at ilang beses ko na ding nasagot ang sarili na oo. Kase wala lang naman akong hihilingin kung’di ikaw na nag papatibok ng puso ko. Ang taong pumupulot sa mga basag kong piraso, at binubuo ako, gamit ang ginto. Kase ang mga hapon ay may sining na kapag ang isang bagay ay nabasag ang ginagawa nila dito ay ginagamit ang ginto bilang pang digit. Para sa kanila, ang bagay na iyon ay mas maganda at kabighabighani kesa nung eto ay hindi pa nababasag. Ikaw ang ginto na bumubuo sa mga basag kong piraso. Salamat. Mahal kita.

Nobody Lovers
If there's no mystery then there's no need for God. But there are certain things I know- and other things I know not. I used to think I knew everything, now I know just how wrong I was in everything I thought was not wrong. But I knew I would lose you by the grace of God- I got used to the abuse of you And my heart started to rot. Now I'm used to not having you and only having God. And that's two times you gave me the gift of love. Blessings I'm thankful I have got. You wiped every tear that fell No, I don't deserve you at all. I am so broken about the whole thing I wonder how you loved me ever...at all. Victories are had to take for me, I don't deserve what they call Success and it seems to me I'll always be chasing God

It's Not So Impossible
My mind stretches outward. AS my fist reaches the wall. Bruising the skin and muscles. I think of him, Dark hair. Blue eyes.. I close my own, As tears reach me. I miss you... My god I miss you... I tell myself to forget you, When I have forgiven you. My heart still feels like yours, My mind.. Is somewhere else.. Please be alive.. Live your life to the fullest.. I will see you one day.. My dark one.. Fading into sleep, I only dream of him. When my heart is someone elses.
