You have never loved until you have lived
You have never lived until you have loved

One can not be without the other

Just like you and your lover

Toughest thing I have ever had to do was grow up

besides that everything else has been easy

Life is mean
it will beat you up till you give up and die

But while it’s beating you up all you can do is keep on trying

Blah blah blah!!! one day at a time, wipe those **** tears and keep going

Who said it would be easy, well tell them that they were lying

Truth is, I don’t know the truth anymore
I’m just living this life while lying in truth

While having Deep rooted emotions,
that seek validation of my actions,
I am 1 in 7 billion guests on an earth filled with insecure hearts and lost minds

Those that think they know the truth lack vision and those who are blind know too much to tell us what they see

Growing up ***** the living daylight out of our souls
while painting a beautiful smile on our faces full of holes

While directing us to a floor
that’s dug 6 feet under

Love is blind
Love is deaf
It takes away your lovers flaws
Silences their insecurities
While forcing you to hear and see
What it wants you to hear and see

Hearing sweet melodies
While ignoring tragedies

Love is confusing like a female picking out her wedding dress

While glowing painfully

Addicted to silence
so we get high to distance
Leaving no room for forgiveness
While we thrive off of our ignorance

Only true love can fix this

All I remember was her smile
It had a magical feeling to it

Like the one you just had while reading this

It was deeper than poetry
It always knew how to bring out the best in me

She was my poetry,
she was my reality mixed with fantasy
I was high on her ecstasy
Addicted to her like a phin to his needle
Her love solved all of my life’s toughest riddles
She was the morphine to my pain
The fire that burned from within
The calm that kept me sane

She was the reason I...

Are private conversations even private anymore
We talk with caution
Is any body even real anymore?
Fake news turned into fake lives
Oh wait did fake lives come before fake news?
No one even knows anymore

Of the million ways to die
Who would of thought a screenshot
Would be one of them
Vulnerability is now an illusion
A mystery to many
Too many are hallucinating
People talk
while others are investigating
Looking for ways to expose them
Knowing that you are one screenshot away from death, how can anyone be real anymore?

If self-love was an ocean
Would you be willing to drown in it

Others die loving their lovers
but live hating themselves
so tell me is it worth it to give your love while you don’t even value its worth  

Because I see empty oceans
And many broken hearts
Beautiful pieces of art
that have been torn apart
By lovers that are millions of oceans apart
