Should there ever be a rhyme
That could bend the fabric of time,
I'd recite it to you
So I could remind you that nothing's changed for me
This love is true
And oh, quite bold
This love is new
But somehow so cold
It pains me to know
Your heart beats slow
And your imagination runs wildly
This pen could write forever
Yet, it will never bring you back
Is it out of line to say what I'm thinking?
Indeed, I'm childish by nature
However, wise beyond my years
No amount of wisdom helped fight back the tears
From you I could never sever
I know what it means to be forever
All that's heard is never
The sun's dropped and my heart's stopped
To you my love is endowed
For me, you are too proud
The words I used to whisper in your ear
Will never be spoken aloud to anyone else my dear
Drink up the courage to find another
I dare you
Remember alcohol tastes better with regret

The revelation of my ways lead me back
But that wall, it never crumbles
If we forget and forgive how long
Till we relive all our fouls and fumbles?

Carry me back to that time at the water
And your skin never looked so good
Your lack of persistence I never understood
And where are you now?
Where are you now that I'm gone?
Do you feel wronged
Or regret that I had to write you this song?

It was never gonna work
You told me last
Did you even bother to look through our past?
Who called it bad?
The only thing you told those faces is why you're so sad
But why not me? I was always open to suggestions
My bones could break from the weight I carried for you
And you can't turn away and act like it's not true
Stop this front, it's getting old
You always do what your music told
Wanna hear some romantic ****?
Take a seat and let us handle it
Us, not the voices in your ears
The ones who don't know the good in our years

Carry me back to that time at the water
And your skin never looked so good
Your lack of persistence I never understood
And where are you now?
Where are you now that I'm gone?
Do you feel wronged
Or regret that I had to write you this song?

I'm not sounding desperate
In saying we need to fix this
I know it, you know it,
Always swing and a miss
How hard can it be for you to forget everything that I miss.....

If I tell you I love you, believe me.
If I tell you I need you, don't leave me.
If I say that I want you, don't tease me.
But don't abandon your morals to please me.
When I say to trust me, do it.
My love will help you through it.
But you won't allow me the space to prove it.
You need to be wiser
Stop treating me like some womanizer
You're not the only one upset
I have feelings too don't forget
Anthony Garcia Mar 2014
Nothing's scarier than knowing the heart is just a muscle
That true love doens't exist in the body
And it was foolish to give you the essence of my being and to
Expect you to pay me back with anything less than your own heart
This is where trust gets me?
I've never felt more solitary in my life
Why spill my guts if you're just gonna eat em?
Enjoy the fact you're an animal
A cannibal
A mother-******* monster
Tear me to shreds
I dare you
You've got what it takes
I never thought you'd do it
**** me now and get it over with
Play me like a game
Ditch me like a body
You'll be the one to blame
You're the one being naughty
Run and tell them all what you did
Confess, repent, repeat
It won't bring back to life that twisted, maliced, stone heart
Anthony Garcia Mar 2014
These sails are torn to rags
The churning waves toss me
Water's in my eyes and my feet long for solid ground
Seems this storm will never cease
And I'm about as lost at sea as one can be
Poseidon wants me dead, or so it appears
**** sirens won't stop screaming in my ears
All I'm sure of is who I am and where I want to be
Home
A place for my body to rest
Where my heart will no longer strain
Home
My head can dream peacefully
But for now this nightmare of a tempest rages around me
What use is a bag of winds
When a gale is already whipping at my face?
Just how long can a single man be at war with the sea?
Where are the men who started this journey with me?
Who will come help me now?
Why am I blessed with such misfortune?
When will my odyssey end?
Or rather, when will it begin?
Written with the epic poem The Odyssey in mind. Favorite story growing up.
I wrote it because I feel my life is a constant uphill struggle. I wish for some stability for once but I'm always caught in some freak circumstance. I know where I want to be, but I can't understand how to get there. I feel I am talented enough to make it far in this world, however I have no direction. I curse God often. I fear he wants me to suffer. I can't even count how many people have abandoned me in times of need. I wonder to myself when I'll finally sleep soundly without so much turmoil.

Take all that you are and show it to me
For your heart is something I'd love to see
Now allow me your hand and I'll hold it forever
And feed me your brain for it is quite clever
You are what I want and I want it all
So lend me an ear whenever I might call
Your voice is music, which I love to hear
Share with me your thoughts to make mine clear
I'll steal your eyes, more valuable than jewels
To keep them away from the ordinary fool
Give me your love, and I'll give you mine
What we share is something divine
This world we live in needs to improve
But with you by my side, we will make mountains move

Maybe I'll live to be ninety five
Maybe I'll die next year
Maybe I don't know how to be alive
Maybe death isn't something to fear

Maybe I'll find the thing that gives my life meaning
Maybe I never will
Maybe one day I'll stop dreaming
Because all that I dreamt of is real
Maybe one day I'll be popular with the ladies
Maybe I'll be popular to one
Maybe I'll marry and have babies
Maybe one girl and maybe one son

Maybe I'll get wealthy and buy my mom a home
Maybe she won't have to worry about bills
Maybe someday I can send her to Rome
Maybe she'll finally be a housewife of Beverly Hills :p
Maybe she'll find love
The kind she **** well deserves
Maybe that guy will come from above
And father my siblings (who sometimes get on my nerves)
Maybe I'll build my dad an empire
Because my God he rules
He's been there for me when it came down to the wire
He always gives me the right tools
Maybe one day Cancer will just be a sign
And my Nana will win once and for all
For what she's fighting is far from benign
And for decades more she can enjoy my phone calls

Maybe I'll repay all that I owe
Because I know I finally can
Maybe I'll quit my job and go
Because I don't like being a pizza-man
Maybe I'll make money doing what I like
Helping people enjoy their life
Anything from teaching a kid to ride a bike
To someday ending the world's strife

Maybe these words mean nothing
And maybe IS just a word
But I'm making it big, not even bluffing
Maybe I'm just being absurd
Is it selfish for me to want for the sake of others?
(Maybe it is, hopefully it's not)
To take what I have and give it to another?
I don't believe this selfishness will make me rot

Maybe I doubt myself too much
Perhaps it's just a phase
I might not have the magic touch
But I'll try for the rest of my days

Maybe it'll all happen
Maybe it won't
