A letter to her
You fed me the perfect dream
but that dream was not what it seemed
Do you feel me? Know what I mean?
Was my one and only; now you leavin me on seen.
Maybe I was trippin cause I thoguht that you were different.
Thought you would lift me up but baby you had me slipping.
Down for the ride. I thought you were my mvp.
Instead you're the Most Vanishing Player with the way you abandoned me.
The cause of this shit was so plain to see.
Never really in it, it's not your first time giving up on me.
So find yourself. Do what you need. ...

Discarded again
Here we go again;discarded by a lover, when that lover should’ve been a friend in the end.
instead, I’m treated as if she’s a cat and I’m a chew toy that she’s grown tired of.
I went up to bat but didn’t really know what the game was.
See games aren’t for me. I can’t burn them with passion then bounce once the tempo is at 100 degrees.
I’m a real simple man. I’m not hard to please. However, you think you’re getting over but the deception was so plain to see.
I just wanted to give the opportunity for you to step outside of yourself and into what you could be. ...

Discombobulated (thoughts of an insomniac)
the pen seems to be my only comfort lately. this drives me crazy. you were my comfort baby. now you’re some distant lady. you got my mind all hazy.
see we were all good just a week ago. Then flash. Like two worlds clashed. there was a new hoe. I know that seems rash but I don’t say that to be rude though.
I’m just in my feelings and paranoid as shit. the way you got me thinking has my mind all flipped. twisted, turnt, burned up, and hellbent. my mind is in the gutter and it can’t be dealt with.
there’s a ghost in my house and I think it’s from the demons you and my roomate...

In bed with the devil
In bed with the devil:
The devil will fuck up the whole schedule. He grips people’s souls and twists them at every level. Like a plague they pass on their pain at a rate that’s truly incredible. Hurt people hurt people, so Lord please help me let her go.
These people pretend to be something their not. They give in to temptation, no matter how many souls that they rot. Making promises of the future but can’t even truly see what they got. Thanks for lighting the fire under my ass, I’m back on the path to glory, I’m hot.

If I could never love again
If I could never love again. With such strong emotions, it seems that I can never win. Love to me, should be a terrible sin.
No, I shall never love again. Women after woman, again and again, they rip out my heart while having a devilish grin. Again and again, I wish the pain will end. From the most recent heartbreak to the 1st way back when.
I shall never love again. I wish this were true. I said that the last time but then I met you. For no reason, like a bat in the night, you just flew. Now I'm stuck guessing. My mind's churning like stew. Don't know if I will love again,...

Sleepless thoughts
Sleepless Thoughts: Alone when I’m “not alone”
Another night sleepless. No energy but my mind races. I’m restless. Like a C-150, my mind races to different places. Sometimes I wish I was mindless but instead I must find creative ways to fill my empty spaces.
There are three different versions of me, but I never feel complete. One is a confident and intelligent scholar. Still crawling to my goals but it feels like I’ll never be able to stand on my feet. My mixed martial arts side always makes me stand a bit taller, but the third side holds all my demons and right now he’s...

Emptiness

You see, there is this empty pit in my heart and it grows deeper with every passing minute.
Alcohol used to distract me from it but now that I'm sober, it all is becoming too real. I used to use alcohol as a way to cope with the many issues that come with growing up in a house of functional dysfunction.
My parents were great but they were not perfect.

The check-in
It's torturous! The distance and lack of communication is destroying us. How did this relationship become so fragile, when it was so momentous. We should've slowed down like I wanted but no, we had to rush.
It's so misfortunate, the rate we went. Two bodies entangled in passion and love but now we're fucking spent. You swore you wouldn't switch up but then you fucking bent. Bent, turned, crushed and fire lit. I hope this is the end of how bad it gets.
An ultimatum makes me fucking hate him. Give him another chance or he'll make your life devastating. This dude has a grip...

My chemical romance
What's love? And what's it got to do with it? Love is a drug. It's the oxytocin that you get, knowing shes the last part of the puzzle and it's a perfect fit. You fiend for her hugs. The dopamine overload makes you feel like you're fucking lit. The serotonin from her smile got me wanting to sleep and shit. I see her face as I drift away into a slumber that's so relaxing. Remembering the blissful sounds of her laughing. What I wouldnt give for just once chance to hear my Angel's voice again because shes my chemical romance.

Words hide in the elements of emotion
There is anger in these words. When I speak she sees a black stone surrounded by red flames. It's not that simple, our thoughts are blurred. In too deep, the words are burned.
My mind is what I wish I could temporarily give her. Where she sees a rock covered in flames, I see a beautiful flower surrounded by a ugly river. This river is made of tears. These tears are led by fears. Fear of losing the only one who understood me in these 28 years.
Picture this, I'm hanging off a cliff. Dangling there waiting to fall into an empty abyss. Addiction is painful. That pain I dont...

Running
You used to ease my heartache. Now you've gone and made my heart break. Why are you pulling away? For God's sake! I knew you were a drug, yet I chose to partake.
He swooped in and you switched off. You avoiding me is like a cut from a dagger that is so sharp. You were so down for me, who knew that you would go dart. Now I'm sitting in the dark, listening to a sad tune from Mozart.
'You're such a good dude. You're gunna run away'. Damn, where have I heard this before? Oh yeah, that's what they all say. Right before they steal my heart and leave. Then sit back and...

Knockout
Knockout:
Leg kick, checked. I think "owe that hurt". 1,2,1,2, head kick but you evaded like McGregor putting in work. I shoot for the legs but your sprawl put my face in the dirt
(Pause)...
"I can't do this," I think but you give me more hope with a smile and a wink. Your guard's up but that beautiful long red hair and perfect smile make my guard sink.
(Pause)...
It would be easy to blame you for my pitiful feelings. However I should thank you for what you're revealing. I have to slow down, gain composure, and relax. Then I'll be willing. ...
