dirt
I look across the street at the woman walking by. Her slender form in bright reds dressed, a beating crimson heart against the exsanguinated grey of dry asphalt. I look across the street and dare not move. Because my mother raised me undeserving of the time of someone whom bleeds life into an exsanguinated day. I look across the street and nothing more. As my father taught me to live unremarkable and let all songbids fade away from memory... I could not walk with her. I lay here on ashen asphalt and wait for the red to bleed out of sight. I look across the street and exsanguinate any hope of lasting love.

Exsanguinated
i love them, "do you?", whispers my mind. "i do," murmurs my heart. but i stumble, always. words slip, unwelcomed, uninvited. i don’t deserve them. a tear falls. the mirror blurs. "it’s over already," the mind sighs.

What about them?
For God So Loved the World that He gave his one and only begotten son For God so loved the World that He saw our sins and didn’t call it “done” For God so loved the world that He sent a lamb to be grown for slaughter For God so loved the world and we chose to hate us… harder and harder The Heaven rejoices, the night’s stars delight The night runs gleefully in a bright satin light The people around me, scurry with the customs. The people around me, quaff honey and merry The people around me, buried in delicatessens The world reminiscing in carols with cake ‘n wine But remember Christmas, not for its colour and pop ‘Tis the dawn of our deliverance by Love from atop For God So Loved the World that He gave his one and only begotten son For God so loved the World, that He paid a price in blood for us, bloodhounds For God so loved the World, and we chose to gracelessly trample our brothers For God so loved the World. and we chose to hate our kin, harder and harder. Harder and harder.

RED CHRISTMAS
i lay here hollow for you to fill the spaces between my temperaments im so sorry i have enough anguish for the both of us and that it may feel you can’t stand the burden of your own around me But the lovely things between each switch bring me unimaginable hope That one day you can feel the same i will repent every misery laid onto you because im undeserving of your heart im undeserving of your embrace feelings i fight that say I’m undeserving of you may one day i can awake feeling that I deserve you as my only faith

I want to love But I hate me So what love I deserve I cannot see Pray and hope For someone to embrace Glance in the mirror And I'm not worth the chase So back away now Before my heart latches on Don't step so close So I can tell myself it's wrong Frail and grasping The slightest kindness And you outshine the sun I will never bare that likeness In my eyes As much as I want Don't touch me It's a cruel taunt My heart sprints to keep up Attempting to reason With a self mutilating mind Saying to love me is treason So don't touch me I'll love you for a while Tell myself I'm undeserving Move on, nod and smile And you'll never hear a word of it

Just a little confused
too busy feeling sorry for myself to listen to them, my pain hurts others in unforgivable ways, when can I stop fighting this battle? coz that's when I can stop fighting them their trust and love I don't deserve. this battle isn't theirs, its mine I need to do what's right, one touch and it's all gone. then I can stop hiding, stop fighting against them. breathe one last breath they'll cry for a day, but realise its all for the best things will be easier for them, not just me. the war I'm fighting- over I admit defeat i'm sorry like sorry can cut it

Do you miss me? Do you love me? Do you care if I live or die? Why should you? Why would you? I don't deserve your love I don't deserve your caring I don't deserve you And I never will

how could You love something so selfish and broken and confused and undeserving? how could You love a sinner like me? But I suppose That’s what The Cross is for.

You have a good woman Who did any and everything For you. It’s such a waste of her time. It’s such a waste of her effort. I couldn’t see before but I understand Why you don’t deserve her.

Such a waste
remembering how we used to be back when I couldn't breathe call me breathless bc you were breathtaking and mine . you were like a rose . beautiful yet dangerous with thorns tipped w poison . grew up through a crack in the cement , felt nothing but continual abandonment and an ache for something you know nothing about . maybe you were more like an onion . each time you pull back a layer , there's always another in its place . had heart of ice , one I tried to unthaw . I wiped your surface , and it just froze back over immediately after . an imperfect flaw of perfection . someone in need of affection , commitment , attention and direction you are someone who would've died saving me . and that just can't be .

The music blares And I'm stuck between bodies Pasted together from all the perspiration, That's when I burn from your stare Enveloped by blue seriousness And the crease of your frown, You want to smile, And something in me Is convinced of your earnestness I peep back with a little bit of uncertainty, A little bit of desire Why would you need to peer at me? An eon of futuristic images shine in my eyes, It's so easy to see happiness, To feel warmth To smell coffee next to you in the morning But I know you don't deserve me... You deserve more than ill health, More than self-pity, More than anxious worrying So that's why When the music blares And I'm stuck between bodies Pasted together from all the perspiration, And I burn from your stare, That I never look at you Because I know you should save your stares for someone who you might appreciate more.

Undeserving
where do i end and you begin? in the grasp, you hold me in, when i am merely a summer breeze or a kiss of death. what am i to you, if nothing more than crashing symphonies playing tone-deaf melodies? i am entirely unto you, bound to your grace where i am held, hostage; in the belief that if you kiss my poisonous lips and seek refuge where i do not deserve such a happily ever after but a gravestone next to yours.

a goblin symphony
As if walking down a dark staircase, every step forward gives way to uncertainty. Downward, tripping upon my thoughts feeling less, and less likely to feel the sunshine again. It’s the smell of decay, rotted souls, & tortured hearts smothered dreams, forgotten hopes, among all the lies. Broken hearts left in its wake, like the skulls upon Golgotha, condemned for their crimes. That darkened staircase has become damped by tears, fear as taken over, with its siren-like call into the unknown. Crashing like waves, an undertow of raw emotions, my demise now bellows from the locker below. I’ve created this fable, where the plot twist is all to real only to assume its identity in ghostly winds. Loneliness, my old friend my true undoing. Sun rises and falls, day after day, It does not change so will it ever get better with the dawn? Do the monsters I've brought to be, ever vanish into the darkness, forever? For I know I’m not alone, no matter how I feel. HE walks along side me lovingly, waiting for my less than faithful cries. Unconditional, Unconventional, Unrelenting Love No matter my feebleness, my flaws, my imperfect human form, Forever will HE make good on his promises to me.

(Un)Deserving Child
Underneath my skin, in a corridor of void occupation I am blindfolded, threaded along the tracks of my mind for yet another time. Blisslessly awake, and I wanted to disclose to you;    It's felt like days since I knew you. Never took you in to be a collection of pages, raveled with things gone unspoken. I was always so curious of you and the letterings scripted across you and I'm sorry that at the time, my eyes were so weary lacking a voice of clarity, to speak to you with the words that you've so deserved. the pictures in your eyes were something that always sent me to another place entirely, sailing alongside you, a snowglobe that had passed through to the summers. You, just as those golden linings in the clouds saw it fit to decorate my memories, your reveries always evoking me towards a warmth that I held so dearly. I never noticed that you were thorned, just as I. And so things went amiss quite fast, just as they came Hesitating too much to let myself fall forwards, together with you, sense veiled with all the things that were tethered to my spirit. Living in between the sobriety of this circumstance and the fingerprints that were left behind. within the tides    it had felt like I'd known you. Swimming, while we dreamt of flying together. To the moon and back. Later do I remember the horizon, the water below me gleaming, beaming down to the things I thought I'd known. but by then, all that I had besides me were those obscured stars and I realised that the sky wasn't all that bright without you,    and it had been forever since I knew you. The elapse of time, evading these clocks of mine. Little porclain angels whispering to me from afar, without a trace of my voice remaining. As those pages of yours go on without me, As the blossums continue to fall for you, in the distance And I didn't know, how someone like me could ever know someone like you.

What did I do to deserve you? Never-ceasing love for me, The courage it took to say those Three silly words confidently. No. I am sure I do not. Don't cover the desperate truth, I have no reason or motive to lie, You think my words are untruth. Honesty hurts both of us, No. The stubborn word stuck in my mind, My own voice repeating two letters Constantly playing on rewind. This is how things have to be, I thought you should know, How awesome and amazing you are, I lack those traits, so my answer is no. You do not care if I am perfect, You feel the exact opposite as I do, To know you think you don't deserve me, Has me laughing and appreciating you. I smile while I fall asleep, You must be there in my dreams, Our minds work so differently, Mine houses worry, yours holds schemes.

Undeserving Of You
I sit here in the dark,      the emptiness that      envelopes me.                          There is but one question,                                   one meaning and purpose,                                   one that I can't fathom.           Through my life, this simple,                    inadequate life                    there are things I've done.                                                  I've hurt people, torment,                                                            through my explosion of                                                             expression, Anger... Silence                I know I've hurt you,                          as painful as that is                          to reflect.   Yet, through it all,           you're still here,           withstand, ever present.       No matter what explosion,                what outburst I apply,                 here you are... Why.                                                                     You say it's out of love,                                                                                you say that no matter,                                                                                no matter what... Love                                           I've pushed, I've prodded,                                                      pushing buttons, breaking barriers,                                                      when I shouldn't...                                                I don't mean to hurt you,                                                       I never do, I never did,                                                       But still you comfort... calm.                         No matter the pain,                                  the pain that I've caused,                                  here you are, caring, loving.                                                               I know that you could do better,                                                                   better than what I offer                                                                   a seemingly endless barrage..    Why? Why do you stay,                stay in the place of endless,                endless pain... Why?                                                Is this the love everyone speaks of,                                                        if so, why am I,                                                        why am I so ashamed, undeserving.                           I try to push you away,                                   because I know I...                                   I hurt you, yet you stay.                                       I love you, but I don't,                                              I don't want you to hurt,                                              not anymore, let me leave... Please But no, you won't let me,          you continue to love,          a love that is so... undeserving.    You've done so much,                so much love, but why...                why do you put yourself... in pain?                                                  I don't think that I can,                                                             I don't think that I can                                                             ever make you happy, ever again                                       Yet you smile, a smile so                                                     full of love, patience                                                     an understanding that I can't accept.          I ponder and I question,                    no matter how I drag it out...                    Why are you still here?... here with me... -Navahopi119

I'm not guilt-tripping you I'm just telling you the truth of what I think That it will be better for you If I think I should leave. I can't find love, I'm terrible at that It brings me to places where the way out Is narrow that I have to cut a piece of me To get through, scathed but free (I think). But when love finds me I panic. Some kind of beauty I just can't take in. Some kind of gift I don't deserve to receive. Love can give in all its capacity But when I can't reach that level of reciprocity I'm afraid I might hurt love And love would leave, scathed but free. It'd be better for love to leave soon Before I give love reason To hurt, to be numb, To cut a piece of itself to get through.

Unworthy (10W)
You see me beautifully clothed, But deep within am thoroughly shredded; You see me peaceful and calm, But there are deep cuts beneath my palms; You see me stable, the kind of woman you want to keep, My mind is crowded with chaos, I barely sleep; You have plans to walk me down the aisle, Am really not sure how much longer I can travel this mile. Be careful what you think you know, That was me several years ago.
