Chaotic Compass
I fall in love with you more, and I fall in love with you less
Is this a test or a problem that needs to be addressed?
Who truly makes my heart beat outta my chest
I look to the North, South, East and West
Traveling the miles only doubles the stress
My mind a maze confused and insecure,
Highway congested I’m in need of a detour
To be sure, to ensure the balance of my mental temple
it could all be so simple, at least that’s how it sounds,
as my doubt gains the pounds, made me the joker of all clowns
I can see IT! Through bloody balloons no butterflies here only lowly cocoons
I’m so lost I need some direction, I need mind protection,
Survival of the fittest its natural selection
Pull out my compass, North, South, East, and West
Through the trails and the tests, of my cerebral conquest
Should I be through with you? Or keep it new with you?
Shrugging my shoulders, shaking head
Tossing and turning while I lay in bed
Hope I figure this out before we’re all dead

Who wants to share with me my thoughts of death?
They soon will be gone.
I visualize my body on the carpet..the broken mirror pieces are reflecting my blood color...
Dull, dark red with an odor of a lost war.
Lessons of self-love that are totally disoriented.
A demolition of my delusion in my frame of mind
It's devastating and heart cremating, this annihilation's savor chocks me
I've been again hiding, strongly denying, I pretend I'm fine
Grief's at my door, I'm on the floor, talking to me
My inside is empty and the echo is loud
Sometimes it hates me, others it just sobs
Its acid tears are pouring down on my soul like an unexpected storm
Longing for sunshine, I gaze the greenish horizon
It seems like a poisonous gas, there is no oxygen.
The insuperable mountains are my hopes
What will happen to me?
I lash out to my reality with a cry of rage
The radiant facets of my earthly body seem quite unwrought
A hermetic hasp keeps them under my oblivion's guard
And to my dismay, this is what my unrequited love is reveling in
They soon will be gone.

Although,
they never tell you
that to have passion,
is subsequently,
to accept pain
and to be close to someone,
is actually,
a form of mutual
scrutiny
that love is,
by all means,
mostly a battle
with yourself
yet, the deepest scars
are more often than not,
pointed out by another
and when
the fight is over,
(it's really never over)
---
but, I am grateful
for this love
although, it proves
a struggle
for at the day's end,
our polar souls
exist to guide each other

Dinner at his parents (between the cracks)
Ali took another sip of wine
said in a playful voice
"Daddy
was either gonna call me
Ali or Elaine"
turned out he'd a thing
for narrow passageways"
Ali laughed
her fiancee sat seething

A sad sunrise
They're kind of the same:
Falling in love,
And being sad.
You know that feeling
when you know in your heart
that the person in front of you
is gonna fade away little by little,
until you forget about the time
you spent watching him sing his heart out
until the sun rose,
and you watched it together.
Yeah it's sad
being in love.
Falling in love,
And being sad.

Yeah it's sad
being in love.

Sociopath - Hidden Secrets
"I am the perfect idea of what you desire, I am closer then you'll ever know, I come disguised as everything you've wanted. Months turned years of confused enjoyment, your fears have come to life and when my work here is done you won't ever be the same."
This is ME
MY journey
MY time in the womb
Me plotting your doom
The end, your finale
This will not be easy
Proving I'm first
I'll bring you a curse
I'll prowl the streets in darkness
As a person of many faces
But the part and the lie
Must come out exact same time
To achieve you must win
Through patience , discipline
I'll fill you with doubts
Bring on poison toxic thoughts
And your seeds to follow
Will be life - like yet hollow
I'm not one to reflect long
My success WILL destroy someone
I am hard and empty
Cold... I have no sympathy
Mind's a puzzle missing pieces
I prey on weak and helpless
I am the best you ever had
Get any closer and wish you never did
This life has worked for me
I lust and crave power,control, greed
When we meet do understand
Your life will not be the same again
