Poet Introduction
I have a vicious love 🖤
Master Key
when all reason feels at a loss
just know you’re not alone
we can still be warriors of strength
disease, poverty, fighting for life
people suffering within their own minds
accepting defeat like it’s the only option
I only ask you, why?
why can’t we hug those in need?
why is there such a universal guard up?
ignoring the ones that want to help
being cold to those that are there for us
maybe I’m a different kind of guy
a friend can count on me
they just better never push me over
strong dislike for those that...

Something
the shadows of the past
haunt me in my psyche
striking me with this feeling
I tried so hard to suppress
it’s the only way I can get out of bed
pretending like I don’t miss you like crazy
don’t you know it’s your ghost
telling me you’re sorry
wish I could tell you for real
I forgive you
guess I’ll just have to say it in a dream
closing my eyes to visit you again
the room was dark
while the tv played in the background
we laughed like old times
and in that moment
I felt the closest to...

Dis-Honesty
wow, I didn’t see this coming
I gave up time to you, friend
spoke of love and respect
gave my help and thoughts
only for you to walk away
I shouldn’t be upset
I just feel blindsided
It sucks not getting an explanation
going back in my mind
what did I do wrong?
can’t say it doesn’t hurt
but what am I to do?
just have to take the hit and move on
thought I had a good buddy
someone I could depend on
shared with you things,
I don’t share with anyone
I truly wish you well, I do
but...

Some People
we walk to the local market
a car almost runs us over
in my head I’m thinking
what the f#@k!
now I could lose my cool
flip them the bird
even say some profane words
but when I look over at you
carefree with that loving smirk
I just have to roll my eyes
and say “some people”
we grab us a couple donuts
head towards the checkout
only to have someone cut in front of us
now I could throw my freshly baked pastry
towards this inconsiderate fella’s head
but when I look over at you
with those bright peepers ...

When What Was Meant to Be… (Wasn’t Meant to Be)
The Light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness does not comprehend it”
was trying to assemble my thoughts
tried to think of words that would inspire
but all she could say was that she was a mess
too broken to ever be loved
I did my best to get closer
she did everything in her power to push me away
so much so that I just shattered
into one million little pieces
I can feel her cry my name
but the hurt I felt that night
was so much, too much
because what made us special
she refused to see it
and I refuse...

Lullaby
with the day gone, lay your head on my chest
I’ll sing you a lullaby to drive you off to bed
feeling so fortunate as I run my fingers through your hair
I know I don’t always see that you’re hurting
I’ll take the blame for my lack of caring
sometimes I’m broken when I should stay strong
your pretty face still gives me purpose
even in the darkest moments
don’t ever question that, Love
lay down, dream now
come melt into my arms
keep warm in the cold
and snuggle a little bit closer
with these sweet words sung ...

Devil’s Angel
I never wanted to feel this kind of hurt
not ever
sadly, it wasn’t up to me
so it is as it is...
the longer we live, the longer we die
with each day finding new ways to
numb the pain
those very same solutions are slowly
killing us
just to remind us how fragile we really are
so maybe it was for the best
that you left early
closing my eyes to see the light shine
picturing an angel so beautiful in heaven
it’s hard to understand why it had to be you
even though we all eventually go
I’ll always need to know...

Another Day
we had some laughs
stuck in detention class
opened our hearts like friends
yeah, I believed we were friends
I knew you were troubled
but fuck, so was I
didn’t give it a thought
until I saw your eyes
walking down that hall
I said hi
shook you out that trance
told me to leave the building
I felt you were brilliant
carefree when no one was watching
not that you didn’t scare me
when you were in silence mode
I said fuck them all, but I didn’t mean it
there is a better part to humanity ...
