He makes me feel afraid
and protected at the same time.

He makes me feel belittled
and challenges my intellectual mind.

He is my old flame,
but I'd like him to be my new thang.

wait, what?

I'm drunk in love,
and not sure what I'm saying!

Rare of your kind,
forever is your time.
Fine as red wine,
you live in my mind.

The light of your eyes
makes my soul shine.
Honey love, lemon drop
could you please be mine?

I love you
no, I'm lying
I want you
you see I'm crying!

types of kisses
ZL Sep 2014
The forehead
Is from a protective lover, who will secure you until you're dead

The cheek
Is from a sensual lover, one that is meek

The lips
Is from one who lacks control, a ***** one on the go

The hand
Is from one who wants nothing more than for you to understand

The feet
Is from one who worships the ground you walk on; your filth they'll eat

Then there are people like me
Who will kiss every inch of a lovers body that my greedy eyes can see

A lonely lovers misery
ZL Sep 2014
I always compromise when I’m lonely

In the beds of strangers,

hopeful that someone can love me.

Many see I'm broken beautifully.

Some think I’m art; crafted delicately.

Others say; dangerous, sad, and extreme!

but they'll willingly be that drug I so desperately need.

Sin

Sin
Syn has always been my friend
I always confided in him.

Temptation; a bully
a brutal lying enemy

Tired of his attacks
attempts to **** me

Maybe I’ll surrender
Back out, give in

Acceptance will start
The madness will end

Surely, he’ll step off
If I just let him win!
ZL Sep 2014
thinking in the past

only wastes time

energy and thought

lectures; my friends preach about.

For those moments of us are gone

But, tell me you do it too

that I won't feel so alone.

so I can continue to gloat on.

in misery of a kidnapped heart

bound at your home.

And life has become a dangerous place.

she looks in the mirror
in pitch darkness
no light upon her face.

And life has become a disguisting place.

American sin we chase
no unity, no purity, no love,
filth from every race.

And life has become a desperate place.

Death will forever be man's case
born into sin was our crime
the punishment is much more severe this time.

A dozen black roses
Eleven ex lovers
Ten tears
Nine lost years
Eight personal fears
Seven deadly sins
I've commited six.

If only I had one wish!

Five secrets I swore to never tell
I’ve repented four of them
Too afraid to go to hell
Three is for the trinity
Always fighting two sides of me
atlas, one lonely heart

God should have warned me
life would be hell from the very start.

He made me feel my flaws
did not exist.

flattering kisses
my lips could not resist.

tickled me pink
I wore his compliments like tattoo ink.

and it's not that I suffer from low self esteem
It's just I always wanted to feel something

Truth is: I've never felt special.
Not to anyone, besides handsome Jesus and the ugly devil.

She was afraid when her eyes led astray
but was filled with joy of happiness and gay
she had this feeling that he'd make her okay.

I loved you right away.
awoke to mornings,
you were the sun to my day.

I loved you right away
lost, I'd think of you and feel at home
you were my way.

I loved you right away
the reason my heart hurts
is because I always expected you to stay.

Now tears of sadness
cuddles her frail body
the side of her bed, where he used to lay.

I watched from afar so pitifully.

Big world.
Little me.

why does living feel like dying?
and pleasure feel like crying?

why are we expected to be good,
when we are told we are bad?

why do they tell us to be happy,
when our souls are sad?

why do I hate them
and love them too?

Why can't life be a new rainbow?
instead of depressing old black and blue.

There are women.
And there are girls.

Then there are ladies in between
Who feel the wrath of a *** crazy world; a place so mean.

Usually not the one to lose confidence,
We stood on our feet.

Our eyes met,
I had an urge to take my seat.

I immediately felt
Shorter and less attractive.

Amazingly beautiful Amazon Woman.
