you said you didn’t want to lose me. you said you could “learn to love me again.” but love shouldn’t need to be relearned, should it? i carried those words like a promise years later i learned that you were already celebrating him. i wonder how many times i loved you while you were already gone.

already gone
Filling my buckets of red— I promise you, I don’t have enough yet. I don’t have enough anger to paint the hands of every man who ever dared to be a traitor.

Enough Anger
You have trespassed on my soil, manned You have stolen my nation and my land Killed all the songbirds, the larks You have eradicated any sense of glee But everything you have taken from me Around it, you will find claw marks There's tears on the floor And bullet holes in the door And blood and dirt under my nails You've made me flee from my own home The place I live in and roam And yet you still don't know what that entails.

Traitor
Should I call myself a traitor For not honoring my needs When I fall for you again When I'm struggling to breathe In the pool of old regrets I'm still asking what it means As I'm sinking to the floor As I'm drowning to be free I lament my current ignorance For forgetting certain things Like when I lay down in the dirt From admitting our defeat There's no basis for return If you're always in my dreams I had finally let you go Until I ruined everything I shouldn't play with fire When my heart is made of weeds But I was so desperate for attention And the comfort it can bring So I'll call myself a traitor Cause I'm only hurting me When I'm crawling back to you And am on my hands and knees

Lament.
If you were really my best friend, you'd know that all I needed was for you to be there for me. I didn't need to know the truth. I already knew I had ******* up. I just needed you to assure me that everything would be okay. But instead, you were there for him, acting like what I went through wasn't hard, telling me how much I messed up, assuring me that everything that happened was my fault. True friends don't do that. Ex-friends do.

My Ex-friend
here i am on a train ride on it for the first time in years when it was supposed to be with you this year we made plans to travel more together many times and we wanted to make it work this time around but now it ***** that you ain’t here maybe it’s for the best maybe it’s meant for me to make memories with my girls maybe we were not meant to make any more memories and be each other’s first time for everything you were great, but you were broken and you dragged me down the pit with you as selfish as I can be as a person you were way worst than i can ever be i loved you with you all my heart but now all I have left to offer you is my rage i don’t wish you the best i don’t wish you happiness i wish you'd cry regret suffer for all the torture you’ve put me through

you were great, but you were broken
inteiramente perfeito tirava-me suspiros és tão belo, tão doce tal como uma miragem com certo atrevimento tentei lhe alcançar porém não consegui pois tal como uma miragem você nem mesmo esteve ali

. . .
You were supposed to love me til death do us apart. But Then you let go and decided to trample my heart. You've turned love into a lie and made heartbreak a work of art. It was something I should have seen coming from the very start. I was so foolish. Choosing someone like you wasn't at all very smart. I fell in love with you because I knew your heart and knew who you were. Now everything good about you has been wiped away, now a blur. When I told you I loved you I meant it. I didn't stutter nor slur. Now, after all is said and done I wish this charade had never occurred. My heart, soul, time and tears were all taken advantage of. Oh, how you lied to me because what you offered was never love. In spite of the suffering I went through by you, I still considered you sent from above. You disregard the times I treated you like a queen, when you were my white dove. When my heart utterly melted for you. When your beauty was my treasure trove. Now that its all over, you've given love a bad name. Now that its over, I'll never look at it the same. Love is no longer beautiful. Its a disgrace, a pity, a game. Because of you Ill probably never find true love and that's a real shame. However, I do hope someday I can find another that'll light my heart aflame. But for now its a darkness a void. Because of you that's what love has became.

A Loving Lie
The greatest enemy is the enemy within The most evil is one most believed as God The Shepherd sacrificed sheep, and sheep cheered How can anything not be what it seems How can I mean other than what I said How can eyes see soul, when there is none An apple can be nothing but an apple A patriot hugs the flag, a christian waves the bible And the loser, unarmed, accursed, hangs from a tree In robes of peace, prosperity and power, reigns evil In dispersion, despair and death, are its enemies In friends with cleaned feet are traitorous deceivers

fallen crown
Fire a blaze with a roar so loud, a fort that keeps people away, vicious sort with a corrupted mind, extort the poor and needy, distort the reality, the people retort I am the bad heart, now they cavort as I am no more, the fire fort has done it's deeds, foolish people court with imbecile intellect, contort are their lives now accomplices are now turncoat.

Fire breathing dragon
Are they snowballs down in hell or just fire, smoke and heat? I must live forever in my shell, solving the matters of your deceit. You put my feelings in the shredder, wearing that silly mask of Cupid, I'm guilty. I should have known better. You're Evil in disguise, and I'm so... stupid. You were feeding me with charming lies about how your Sun is kissing the snow, you made me walk away two thousand miles, now I don't live at home anymore. We should stop playing this blame-game, and don't hide behind the shadows of a traitor, the loneliness is whispering now my name, believe me, you will thank me for this... later, when your raven years will bring you wisdom, you'll sit and have your morning breakfast, you'll make confessions to God's kingdom, only then you'll triumph over Life's tempest.

You convinced me it was us against the world but once you finished building your kingdom I wasn't worthy of you anymore. Kicked to the curb and drowned in the bottom of your swimming pool. - high and almighty.

I have story, There were three friends, two of them were lovers. I love you, and you also love me. Our friend was happy for us but things had changed. You left me, and you two started to begin your story.

Happy Three Friends
How it must feel To be a traitor To everyone who's loved you Does he know what we did? Would he still love you? Call me disgusting A  horrible person Manipulative even I hope he learns And that he leaves So you are alone And I hope you know my pain

Our ***** Secret
Crumble brothels sprout flesh peddlers collect their fees selling daughters in twos and threes Lopez or Diaz lazy or defiant escaped in polluted lagoons the virus spreads Dancing with the dead priests absolve the devils in their mist Pilar sold her virginity for a few bars of gold wrapped in an old ladies hatred she murdered her vows Mexico is a land of smiles the knife only glints in the Aztec sun as they bury you after eating your heart

once we were one, so close now turncoat in lakes of oleander, creeks run poison we two betrayed what stolen ideal cast in stone against her? my anima still wants love from me, yet twists on proverbial dime coats were rejected colors negated, unflown prisoner of tumble town chained like a queen a shanty wish disregard so no wings, air of nonesuch grace barrio color to fly in my mind, sleeping mariachis playing loud, my anima rescued me real,  such desert here just my shivering id skinned seal, bad memory still hopeful still here surely mi anima mi alma will grant my dying wish I am the traitor of my anima

my anima calls me traitor
With the same pen and paper as the last love letter I wrote, I now write this. PREAMBLE: Everyday he'll suffer in silence and I'll be content with the thought. The same hand that wrote loving words is the same hand that brought tears to his eyes. Over betrayal and deceit hidden in plain view with a longing of decadence and validation. BODY: He choose carefully, or so he thought - the wounded of the flock. But he knew...somehow that I was different. Unable to be read like a simple book, I am that of an enigma to most, alluring to others. I could have loved that side of him -- the part unrestrained by persona. The damaged part, carefully tucked away. But the beast must be fed by the tears of the innocent, a pervasive pattern of loving women he made love him back. He fed his soul with their sadness. For he deceived them for proof of love and in it, he destroyed himself. Day by day, he'll look at me and realize, like the last - he was wrong. That someone had cared and someone was hurt, and that was not I. And I am grateful - for not loving a traitor. To his own cause or mine. Because every time he looks for validation in the tears of others. I will not be there and he will not find me.

From the moment we became a union My mind, my heart, and my body All thought of you. You were constantly running through me. Every hour, minute to every millisecond was just You. Only to find out, You have given me the worst gift of all. Now, I am suffering from the disease of heartbreak. How treacherous and blind A first love is. Painful yet sweet. Bitter but happy. May I find peace between these dualities.
