Laying it all out on the line
What've I got to lose?
Maybe we were a flawed design
But I'd have died for you

The ending was entirely my fault
That much I can admit
But was it really so easy for you
To throw me to the pit?

There I go again
Unintentionally shifting the blame
I'm half into a bottle of liquor
Calling out your name

Now things are getting hazy
But one thing remains clear
I'd give anything && everything
For once more to hold you dear

I still remember the first time we spoke
As if it were just last week
Even from the very start
I knew you'd be the death of me

Have you ever just stopped for a second and said "wait!", "what was that again?"
You're familiar with the warmth, the floating feelings, the butterflies.
You remember how happy you were, how happy you might have been until the clock says times up and woke up.
The thought still hunts you, in your dreams, places, every single thing reminds you of him.
There is always those sudden three seconds of "wait! somethings missing" kind of feeling, guess there's something wrong.
Your heart knows it fully well, you lack something.
Something important, something really special, a four letter word you keep denying ever since... love, L-O-V-E love.
You badly need a dose of it and yet here you are pretending like its nothing, you're ok and can still continue to do so.
Ask me what love is again, I believe you might have forgotten but please don't tell me you don't need it
Please don't feign ignorance on this topic, you've suffered years from it, it's the exact reason you can't give it easily to someone else. You can't move on , you still haven't moved on! why?


Because you're STUPID ENOUGH TO LET GO OF SOMEONE WHOSE PRACTICALLY THE ONLY PERSON THAT COULD GIVE YOU THE VERY DEFINITION YOU NEED ABOUT LOVE! and yes you let him go.

For a prolonged moment, I thought my world was crumbling beneath me.
Every beautiful sunrise I've seen had scolded me to sleep. Every savory food I once craved, an exhausted effort to cook. Every passionate hobby seemed to be another task to my list.
Beauty was bland, love was lost.
But just then, something so irrelevant and small had moved mountains inside me.
I found yet another missing piece along my journey.

why did you came when all you wanted was to leave ,
I know I wasn't perfect,
I know I wasn't normal.

I loved you,
I gave you my heart ,
All you did was leave me alone in this materialistic world .

I changed ,
I cared ,
All I wanted was to see that free smile of yours that i was unable to copy.
My memories come back to haunt me
My emotions tangle in a web
A web of life
Why am I weak
Is it for others to tremble over me
Or is it because I'm the lil guy
Give me strenngth dear God
Strength to overcome my memories
To over come my emotions
As well as my weaknesses
For only You can do it
And I believe you will
Dear God be with me
Amen
You try so hard
You try to meet every standard
You try to be good enough
But it wasn't enough

You feel like nothing
You feel like ****
You are weak
And you thought you were tough

You tried to prove everyone wrong
That you are so much more
All was for nothing
Everyone was right about you

You feel like you heart is breaking
Because you know that you are worthless
Why did you ever think you had a chance
You had no clue

It is too bad for you
That hard work and loyalty means nothing
You wasted your time
You gave up a possibility for this

You are nothing
You are defeated
You are worthless
Losers are made up of this

I haven't found peace
And I'm guessing I should
Like it is fundamental for my journey
Yet my journey has come to a halt
Well at least part of it
Like I'm in one car going at the speed of light
While I'm in car that has stopped moving because it broke down and a guy named Joe refuses to fix it, even though he has all the spanners and whatnots

So while one me is almost at the destination
The other me is hopelessly lost

I love those appealin' eyes
you know ya can't disguise
your dimpled, stoppin' perfect smile
Never gonna go outta style
see you in a little while?
my sweet poet....

I love that I could love you
not saying that I do
cannot tell by the words I bleed
or feel the need
inside this stupid heart?
Sometimes we gotta let go
in order to grow
ya know
it's true
so...
what about me ....
and you?

I knew that smile
was going to nail me down
turn me right back around
I read my crystal ball
knowing what to whisper in your ear
told me whatcha  wanna hear
Exactly what to say
exactly what to do
exactly how...
to love you

maybe you still miss her  
as I'm penning you verses
an liftin' her curses
line by line....I'm readin' your mind
you want her sometimes
I'm bleeding out these rhymes
c'mon it'd be a crime

let's go down to the swimmin' hole
maybe a lil' cold
bare feet on the dashboard
wine bottle on the floorboard
cause' were all gettin' older
we might need a shoulder
to stay when the rains comin'  down

I'll stick around...
I'm all hometown
what else can I say darlin'
to make you wanna leep
I promises to keep you
forever...
if only you'd say yes
I'd love you
If I could
I told you
I'd
confess.....
This is dedicated He Said Jenny Williams... it may not be your cup of tea I don't know but love your voice girl.... been making me think in different ways so there's a line in here and just for you.. metaphorically speaking. I could hear this sort of like a country rap song...hahaha.... did this just for fun;-) oh and thanks to Rosalind 2 for the fun idea just doing something fun!

.
Cantilever tombstones
Gathered in a row
Broken bits of someone else’s deed

Weeds are overgrown
Thorns about the snow
Endless come the struggles as you bleed

Ravens are amassing
High above the trees
Searching for remaining shards of bone

Circling intruders
Cutting through the breeze
Waiting as your sins you now atone

Thicket mangled wings
Fractured fighting fear
Carving sad initials on your skin

Thunder clouds approach
Storms to gather near
Drenching darkened sorrows now begin

Iron barred protrusions
Block the jagged way
Keeping you from exiting this place

Fall upon your knees
This your ending day
Every thought of you to soon erase

Fade into the gravel
Claw this frozen earth
Quickly 'fore a morning sun does crest

Bid a found farewell
Far beyond your birth
Time has come to take your final rest

A Lover Should ......
Enchant
Your soul
Mesmerise
Your mind
While bewitching
Your body
Fitting together
Like the proverbial glove
Treasure
Your dreams
Share
Your sorrows
See eternity
Hidden in your eyes
Leap
Into the unknown
Be brave
And true
Honour
Their own heart
Love
Themselves too
Fascinate
Captivate
Elevate
Take your breath away
Lie spellbound in your arms
Cherish your value
A Lover Should
Only ....
Love
You .....

I wrote this a couple of days ago after reading an article about what being a 'Lover' means .... not just physically but overall - so this is what being a Lover means to me ....
