Don’t pretend to care about me
I can see your eyes rolling again
Inside and straight to the back of your head
You think you’d have been bored already
Dear self,
I found your old book.
The book of lines and ink that pulled you out from where you were.
Poetry saved you.
I re-read the poems you had marked.
I gave you somethingyou probably shouldn’t of receivedI’m weary eyedthinking about how you seemed to lead
charming sweet smiledemeanor honest and truthfulwhy did my heart have to be so couthful?
Perfect, ever confident
Never tries, always wins
Speaks no evil, hears no sin
What a picture perfect family
A model of what we should be
Perfectly incompetent
Always tries, never wins
A single lie says it all,
A love that blossom after all,
Can be ruined by a single roll,
Without your way to overhaul.
I made a mistake and I felt sorry,
But saying sorry adds only weary.

Hello I’m Drizella
I’m going to marry a fella
Royal and tall
He’ll catch me when I fall
during the waltz and the tango
Wrapped in a bow
I am not Cinderella
But I happen to have her shoe size
A coy smile
And I’ve come to the conclusion
That this
Is enough
For a man
I am not Cinderella
But I happen to have her shoe size
A coy smile
And I’ve come to the conclusion
That this
Is enough
For a man
Do you know about his dimpled cheeks,
His crooked grin,
or his chocolate gaze that dare matches yours,
Do you know he calls me baby,
just like you did,
I gaze upon you, and what is it I see?
An expression? A soul? No, it is only a body.
I listen to your word, I know your mind to be strong
But reflective, slow persuasion
Prove my thoughts and feelings wrong.
At the breakfast table,I'm hungry.Hungry for something to have, for something to know.While others can scoop Cheerios out of their bowls,I'm trying to spoon my way out of an "undiggable" hole.
When will i win a prize possession.
Something or someone who belongs to me.
Am i to urgent or never on time.
Do i belong here or just well unsure of what’s going on.
A mess. An ultimate mess.
Can't even decipher what the message is,
That's how crazy it is. Nonsense.
Pain, hurt, lies.
It's all common, yes, but when like this,
It's worse. It's torture.
The shadow of love isn't just found in dark spaces.
It's found in a sea of familiar faces
who stretch out their arms for a quick slap of the hand
She's a demon, she's a spider,
Where's the cigarette lighter?
A promised kiss, a promised liar,
Don't approach; where there is smoke there is fire.
Adulthood snuck up on me, deceived me
Oh, she’s a sly one
She flirted with me for a time, dangling her alluring maturity and ravishing freedom before my eyes
Half truths breed
Multiply faster than any truths
Rot the soul
Eat the flesh
Half truths
They sit upon the gossipers tongue
My words are truthful how you take them is on you
You can take it the wrong way and feel some type way
Or you can understand what I'm trying to say, take my words into consideration
My bones were feeble
My breath had weathered
My voice can be heard as a bare, cracked whisper
And I listen at how fragile we are...
For which my lungs, they were thirsty for air
I am a parasite
Love, masked in depression
Darkness conjured from the light
The familiarity is lost on me
Suicide is too disgraceful
I feel numb, the pain no longer subsides
I am a parasite
Love, masked in depression
Darkness conjured from the light
The familiarity is lost on me
Suicide is too disgraceful
I feel numb, the pain no longer subsides
There was no Potential coiled beneath your tongue
And I was too enthralled by the sound of your voice to notice.
So while you whittled away at my unending devotion,
Got me addicted like novacane, sitting here numb without a feeling.Tried to retrace my steps with a little sexual healing.
i've listened to it more times than i can count,
but who's to say that i'm wrong.
what you can see is the fading memory of me in a song.
why can't i be true, why do you have to love
please i'm begging you run away
Blurred memories of the past play, replay in front of me
Me eyes captured by rain of joy and sorrow
I miss it, I miss them, I miss us, I miss him
Cramps of love clench tight
My heart breaking, aching
Your lips love to sing a melody
The way the words slip off of your tongue
It's like a song yet to be sung
Your smile is cunning and daring
Beckoning others to come near
Your eyes are dark and dead
The light of a ghost
Spilling violently down your cheek
Stars spin in their eyes
and you sat complacently
back arched, head tilted
i slinked behind you, grazed you with my fingers
i could see the trichomes on the nape of your neck stand up in uniform silence; electrocuted soldiers
Eyes can be deceiving and yours fooled mine
I thought I knew everything, but I guess I was blind
I was very naïve to believe you really loved me and I was stupid enough to let it drag on
When I saw people around me, I try to read between the lines.
Their faces was covered with masks .It was a part of what they called the circle of times.
Circle of times? What could this be?
What a punishment it must have been
to have lost your faithful's trust again.
No time to atone and no love to hone.
Turns out you have to relearn how to live alone.
Emotions become a circus
I've never been one to cheat
or even flirt
With someone who's not mine.
I don't know what's happening,
why I suddenly want this.
To be unfaithful.
There are others,
Nowadays, it’s hard to know what the truth is.
We have tampered with so much as seen
Our environment, plants, animals and even our bodies that
We are oblivious to what is real, what is true
Shes blind
She walks around thinking they are really her friends
Thinking that he truly loves her
She is deaf
Hearing only what she wants
The rumors are nothing but a lie
You think you want to die,
But you really just want to be saved.
Do they ignore you when you cry?
Do they see your inside is decayed?
My destination was not to your heart, but your mind.
Can I trick you into believing your mine?
Of course I can,
This wouldn't be my first time.
Shall I compare thee to a siren?
Thou art more seductive and charming.
With a song that is a melodic sin,
And beauty seen best in spring.
Sometimes a man strides through,
Do you recognize your own lines, or do you turn a blind eye to lies that deceived me...if you're going to be an ass, at least be an honest ass.
Your love was intangible, out of my scope
Joker, u desired nothing more than to create a fool out of me,
Like the tongue that gets burned from the yearn of hot tea
Human
Complex creatures
That fight to survive this
World full of madness and darkness
'till end
Mountain, built of wood and covered in silk
The fine covering serves to disguise
The hollow middle, full of devils and thieves,
And others of their ilk.
The tongues of the traitors lie and deceive
Outside it's too quiet;
inside it's too loud.
All the words I'm thinking.
The secrets abound.
The loving,
the hating,
the liking,
the hurting.
I wish they would just let me be now,
There was my old friend
And then there was you
You were very sweet
And she was too
It was you I fell for though
And the other friend agreed
What made me happy
Was what I did need
