#youdeservebetter
I don't know if I can change anything. But I have to try. I've seen too many people let their dreams fall by the wayside. And for what? A chance to survive long enough to see their children thrive? No. We deserve better. For ourselves. For our loved ones. For everyone. Like I said. I don't know if I can change anything. But I have to try. I've seen too many people let their dreams fall by the wayside.

By the wayside
Everybody tells me to forget But when I hear the song in your voice I just can't get away from you The feeling begins anew That's how it was when we first met Lovin' your skin was more important Felt the tip of your tongue When you had me all wrong Even in your death I've got life in my palm But I just can’t get away from all these memories   Every time I close my eyes I wake up in a Paradise Wishing someone else was here tonight To push my desires And carve out my dreams To match the life   I've been waiting for There is no medicine for this kind of treatment   Your face is one big memory Your brain is like a eulogy split into All the things you've done And it won't leave my mind Your ghost is haunting me But now it’s telling me that all we had is dead I wish for everything To go insane So I can rest my brain Stay in bed What you made me do Was too much for you I was too good to you But it's not over yet As this dream scene makes me see all the things you've done Once haunted by your darkened melody All over again I'm not here to stay in your waking mess Not mesmerized by your burning soul Your eyes so cold and alone Even when I get to heaven I know Gratitude defines the truth in My soul I got out of that void a long time ago Now waiting on the other side Maybe one day I'll find him People ask me how you live on I tell em when you find true love It lives within your blood It lives it does not move on Everytime I close my eyes I wake up in a Paradise Wishing someone else was here tonight To help my desires come to life   I've waited for so long And all I can do Is be true Knowing you once made me feel Alive My heart has mended the wall   And I won't stay to try to convince it to feel something else That is inauthentic As this dream scene makes me See all the things you've done Once haunted by your darkened melody All over again My standards have become all the more honest   And I just can't wait to get away tonight

He doesn't care about you If he cared he wouldn't lie He wouldn't blow you off last minute He wouldn't be okay with all the pain he's made you feel If he cared he'd let you know He'd give you a straight answer if you asked He wouldn't respond with "I don't really know what I care about" He'd talk to you for conversation, not *** Stop lying to yourself You deserve better than this

He doesn't care
And just like a mason jar Or a broken car You threw aside my heart Like some messed up art And just like the ocean Or a dead man's house My heart is now empty All the people poured out You took all my love And you threw it away And all I can think is I wish you had stayed It's not much your fault What happened to me. You're just a child My heart is the sea. And I suppose after all My foster child You just did as you were told You just moved on

Inside The Empty
***Pain and sorrow lace my chest, I'm sorry that I must do this. I can't aid you in your heart's quest, Although I'll always think fondly of our first kiss. The tears I cry will surely end, But that doesn't mean that I'll stop caring. You'll always be my forever-friend; Though I'm sad to say it's no longer my heart that yours is snaring. Tonight this poem has been finished, But it's lines will be forever writ, And although, like this poem, our lines together are finished, A brand new stanza has just been fit.***
