Mr. Right I Thought
I was down and out,
Searching for Mr. Right,
I felt so lost,
And he seemed to be out of sight.
Feeling so confused,
Used to the mental abuse,
Always being used,
Its never good fucking news.
Like fuck! Man!,
Why you had to do me like this,
What did I do to deserve this shit,
I was down for you ever since I knew what love felt like,
Fuck, man!, I could've loved you for life,
My mind so fucked up now,
I could strangle you with all my might.
There's a big difference between love and lust,
But what I...

Beast of Love
I was drawn to the depths,
The devil became my lover,
He had cast a spell on me,
And I became colder than a motherfucker.
I played games with they're minds,
Luring them to they're doom,
Soon after,
They fell victim to my tunes.
Like a siren in the moonlight,
They came when I called,
I led them to my lair,
They were out of sight,
Not a sign of them at all.
These strange creatures,
Lusting after me,
They didn't know what they were up against,
They couldn't see.
I was a dream in the day, ...

Spiral
The marks on her skin only remind her of her suffering,
The anger and rage returns back,
She cuts again,
But what is she to gain?,
Its an endless cycle,
With nothing but pain.

Strange Attraction
He's 14 years older than me,
Fairly attractive,
His life was almost together,
So he's regularly active.
He's got many personality's,
Complicated to understand,
I was drawn to this instantly,
I could not comprehend.
His words are harsh,
But his heart is pure,
He's got a dirty mind,
Something I began to like over time.
He enlightens me about the world,
Like a parent or a preacher,
But I can't tell the world,
I'm in love with my school teacher...😶

Broken Soul
I feel empty, I feel...nothing,
These tears I cry mean nothing.
What do they think of me I ask myself everyday,
A toy, a machine to please they're every needs?,
They don't know the pain I feel.
The hurt I've been through,
The tears I've shed,
The mask I wear to hide these fears,
Some days I just wish I was dead.
I feel broken,
Who am I?,
What is my purpose?,
This I do not know,
But I wanna go home.
This world has no place for me,
My heart feels sore,
I've kept up this pace so long,
I don't think i can...
These tears I cry mean nothing.

Stuck
You sat on that pedestal,
Up high above,
Looking down on I, your humble servant,
Here to follow your orders.
You taught me much about love,
I was fascinated by your knowledge,
Only to find out,
They were all lies that you polished.
I thought I could trust you,
That you'd always be there,
Only to know you've corrupted my mind,
I guess you succeeded over time.
You were like a King, an Emperor,
I had put u above all others,
When I asked for the truth,
All you did was stutter.
Why did you make...

Double Trouble
She was my first,
We all know first love never dies.
Our love was forbidden,
Our paths led separate ways,
Thoughts of us caressing each other,
I anticipated everyday.
The way she ran her fingers down my spine,
Kissed my lips gently, pulled my hair aggressively,
God I can't believe this amazing girl was mine.
Everyone else made it feel like being this way was a crime.
We hid from the world,
We couldn't let them see,
Us together,
In perfect harmony.
There's this boy next door,
He was a juvenile...

Te Amo
She's beautiful, yes i know,
She's mine, but i can't let the world know.
Society judges love, most of the times on gender,
But she's so perfect, i just wanna mend her.
She's been hurt,
She longs for love,
She prays every night,
To God up above,
To send her someone to love her forever,
all i wanna do is assist her in her endeavor.
A journey to find love,
A journey to find herself,
She amazes me everyday with her determination and strength,
Baby girl, just let me help.
Why should i not not love who i...

Tick, Tock
Dear father time,
How you have been cruel,
You've scold me in such ways,
That iv'e fought with demons in duels.
Oh father time,
Do you enjoy me suffering this much?
Iv'e had so many hardships,
Isn't enough, enough?!.
Iv'e been battered and beaten,
Pushed around from place to place,
Waiting for the day,
You'll end this fleeting race.
Oh father time,
Remember the good days we've had?,
It was all laughter, smiles and giggles,
But that was when i was a lass.

Wishful thinking
I feel him, even though he's not around,
I see him in my thoughts ever so often,
Creating magical scenarios that will never be,
Lost in thought, just selling myself dreams.
I'd rather not dream of him, but rather be close to him.
My body aches, when he's not caressing me,
i long for his warmth, his love, his all.
I thought he was the one, i could literally feel it,
Guess my heart was playing games with my mind,
Wish i could've seen it.
But am i ready to face the consequences, that comes with love AGAIN?!
Maybe i should call...

I'm free, finally free,
Free from all the ties that drained the life from me.
I'm free, finally free,
I've been holding on to things that could never be,
I was once blind,
But now I can see.
I'm free, finally free,
I see through all the lies,
Only God hears my cries,
He made me realize,
That I am favored by him,
And I'll be cleansed from all my sins.
I'm free, finally free,
Free from all the ties that drained the life from me.

Troubled Tree
I'm like the seasons,
I change from time to time,
You never understood me,
Chin up full of pride.
When summer came,
You had fun in the sun,
You played all day, from dusk till the day was done.
When summer came to an end and autumn stepped in,
You danced in my leaves, like it was a festival of colors.
But while you were out galloping among the flowers, I began to wither.
Winter came, you stayed indoors,
I became faded, everything was ice cold.
The thing that kept you close,
Was no more,
Every time I reached out,...
