with a small smile, i said to him
the truth is gonna hurt you
words are gonna wound you
missguided souls are gonna haunt you
but darling,
you're human.
and after all
let it go my love,
because one day,
in the storm
i'll be here to keep your feet to the ground
i'll be here to watch the sunset with you
i'll be here to watch you go when it's time
i'll try to keep going.
i'll let go soon enough
i'll have to say goodbye, the way i said hello
because after all we're human and i have to let you go

Have the laughs I've given you
finally reached their date of expiration?
Have the nights we spent in each other's arms
seeped to the part of your mind labeled as forgotten?
Have the times I spent by your side
begun to ring a tone so disturbing you've tuned them out as a static?
Has the strength I've given you to fight
those that belittled your existence,
finally become a wisdom that's taught how to stand on your own?
Has that strength you now hold by my grace
become a burden that makes you hate me
out of a missguided fear of being indebted to me?
Has the fear in you corrupted your sight,
nurturing your love for me into this hatred I see in your eyes?
Has it been long enough for my love to become your grief ?
- This rings close  to my heart as my nature has often been seen as a kindness thats cruel in the sense that it make those i love feel like they do not deserve such love.

I feel a great disturbance
Trudging up this landslide disrupted road
An uncertain urgency
Little quips uttered by missguided half witts
Im loosing my penchant for diplomacy
My pupils so undialated my eyes
Are black
the nerves are like hairs on my back
Im backed into a corner like a feril cat
I have sojourned with peril
Encompassed about by the enemy

It hurts me to know that a closed door
can become an open one.
and a goodbye can mean a hello.
and a closed mouth could get fed.
and a bad friendship could be a good thing.
I never understood why misery adores
company so much. why he needed her so bad.
why he needed her to fill his lungs
with Love so he could exhale Lust. why he needed
her company to make himself feel immaculate-
only to leave her feeling ***** and ashamed,
left to wash off his sins from her body filled
with more regret than the last. Yes, “Misery loves Company”
but the love he has to offer is nothing more than a
lost feeling looking for its purpose within another.
filling them with what he believes love looks
like and feels like and acts like, to later be missguided
by his own intentions.
