Cold nights
Souls drifting
Hearts beating  
Dream chasing
Echoes of wolves speaking
My ears listen while my hearts skipping
Fear befriends my lonely soul
It holds me hostage
As I sleep with these wolves
I remember the touch of sheeps
In pain I dive deep
Giving sorrow my soul to keep
Seeing that love is as sharp as these wolves teeth

Fear is a drug
That cowards take too much of
Burning with emotions
while ignoring solutions  
just to end up stressing
devoted to pain
so they worship it
fighting for nothing and falling for everything
darkness looms their minds
As they depart from courage
They allow insecurity
to be their only form of security
What a tragedy....

Love is a blame game
That nobody wins
Just moments captured in space
That take place in times place
Whether we leave or stay
We become addicts of our own emotions
Controlled by the past or present

Trusted
Lusted
Wanted
Kissed
Just ask (ed) what happened to being loved
Smiled
Hugged
promised
Waited
Slapped
Rebuked
Misled
Abandoned
Crossed

she asked me if loving her was worth it
I said yes
Every single part of it

I dreamed of nights where days never existed
lost in her eyes
as she gazed deep into my soul
when she spoke about love my heart listened
and my body followed
through pain and pleasure
I promised to always love her
she was the beginning and the end of it all

A sunrise
A sunset
Naked stars
Gazing eyes
As she felt his soul looking into hers
A Beating heart
As she held her young child
A breath of fresh air
Goosebumps on her skin
As she remembers his touch
Moments she took in
As she hid from her pain
These are memories she stored
A place she runs to
When hell becomes a reality
This is her sanctuary  
Her heaven on earth
Simple things to her are priceless
None like wealth
These things are timeless

I will live to see another day
even when life gets tough and suicide befriends me
I will ignore that voice that whispers in my ears
Robbing me of tranquility
Today is my first day of many days
Here is to life, love and laughter
I’m here to stay longer
Hold on a little stronger
I’m here to taste life’s beauty
As I overdose on happiness
