A broken heart
No silver lining in this cloud.
No reason to smile when you're not around.
It's like my days are stuck on repeat.
I'm down. I'm restless.
Can't sleep. Can't eat.
Everything's different, even though nothings changed.
Everything's normal, but it's not quite the same.
My glass is half empty, even when it's all full.
I was on cloud nine then gravity pulled.
I was flying high, then I crashed and burned.
It was all smooth sailing, then the tides turned.
Thats it for love, I want no more of that.
It's painful picking up the pieces of a...

Missing you
Fuck texting and conversations on the phone.
It's actually imperative that I see you today.
I want to see your words leave your lips.
See the creases in your face as you talk.
I wanna make you laugh, and see you smile.
I wanna hold your hand, and experience you in 3D.
I wanna feel your lips on mine.
I've lost patience with the basic approximations of you.
So fuck texting and conversations on the phone.

Drowning
Drowning
That's what it's like to fall in love with you.
I hold my breath, because I know that to inhale is to die.
But God, how I long to let the water fill my lungs.
Give my self away, and sink to the ocean floor.
But to love you is to court death.
I know how this story ends.
This script is all too familiar.
Fleeting happiness followed by eternal torment.
That is the promise of love.
But God, how I long to let the water fill my lungs.

Baggage
I have mine, and you have yours
I'm broken, and you're damaged.
Defective models, making peace with our flaws.
You've been through a lot. And I have too.
No one else knows what it's like to walk in our shoes.
So we found each other.
Two damned souls in the dark.
Wounded animals looking for shelter.
And we found it in each others arms.
Because the world can't get her when she's locked in my embrace.
And nothing else matters when I gaze upon her face.
We all have baggage.
I have mine, and you have yours
I'm broken, and you're damaged.
Defective models, making peace with our flaws.
You've been through a lot. And I have too.
No one else knows what it's like to walk in our shoes.
So we found each other.
Two damned souls in the dark.
Wounded animals looking for shelter.
And we found it in each others arms.
Because the world can't get her when she's locked in my embrace.
And nothing else matters when I gaze upon her face.
We all have baggage.
I have mine, and you have yours

DARK POEM

Dark thoughts
Dark thoughts, culminating in secrets and lies.
They ask how I'm doing, I smile and say I'm just fine.
Hypocrites. No one wants an honest to that question.
No one wants to hear about the demons I see in my reflection,
Or that when I look in the mirror there's a stranger looking back.
So I tell lie after lie, 'cause no one wants to hear the facts

Thoughts
Life is love, and God is love.
Without God life is hard.
Salone tranga these days, d kontri nor well
Ebola don drop, earth is feeling like hell
But when all goes south, remember God is right above you.
Even when you don't feel it, just remember that He loves you.
And he's right there when you need someone to talk to.
So when you wanna talk and nobody's there to listen.
Way tin meet you en nobody nor seem for bisin.
I'm here to tell you that God's got your back.
En e enemies d scatter enitem e grap.

She said she craves scintillating conversation.
Her last man was a bore, so she ain't with him no more.
She's enthralled by everything that I have to say.
So we stay up all night long and let our words play.
Other guys are better looking, but she ain't feeling that
She's got a bright mind, like a 100 Watts
So we let our minds make love to the melody of conversation
And let words brew the love child of intellectual creations

Hit and Run
You stole my heart too, when you took my breath away.
Now you're killing me slowly, telling me you can't stay
It's like a dream gone bad.
A comedy turned sad,
When the love we have became the love we had.
It was a hit and run, you did that day.
You stole my heart and ran away
Now you're killing me slowly, telling me you can't stay
It's like a dream gone bad.
A comedy turned sad,
When the love we have became the love we had.
It was a hit and run, you did that day.
You stole my heart and ran away

Loss
Loss. The word describes it succinctly I think.
That's what it is.
The fabric of your life gets torn apart, and you just know you'll never be the same.
You lose someone you could never imagine life without.
But the earth has the audacity to keep on spinning.
The sky has the effrontery to remain blue.
Birds dare to sing.
He no longer draws breath yet the world goes on as if nothing happened.
Your world left in pieces...
Yet this one doesn't give a damn.

Futility
I'm gonna run to her, while I'm thinking of you
I'm gonna take her clothes off, and admire the view
I'm gonna let her get you out of my mind
You're killing me slowly, you're my cyanide
Flesh on flesh, brief blessed reprieve
To feel sweet nothing, in that sweet release
And after the deed is done, Imma think of you still
These past couple hours, we both know it wasn't real
She's got her demons, and I've got mine
We're just strangers in the dark, lost and hopelessly blind
And so we use each other, just trying to find the light ...
I'm gonna take her clothes off, and admire the view
I'm gonna let her get you out of my mind
You're killing me slowly, you're my cyanide
Flesh on flesh, brief blessed reprieve
To feel sweet nothing, in that sweet release
And after the deed is done, Imma think of you still
These past couple hours, we both know it wasn't real
She's got her demons, and I've got mine

You take me to a place where gravity doesn't work,
To an alternate universe where nothing else matters,
A world where I float in the air and physics is irrelevant
You're radiant like the sun, so we don't need one.
My love overflows, it surpasses the oceans.
Time is a nuisance, it's never enough.
Your beauty shines constantly so there's no night.
You don't seem to understand
I just can't let you go!
You whisk me off to a world where I understand nothing,
Yet everything makes perfect sense...

I think I'm over you, but I'm not
I think my heart is free, but it's caught
Without meaning to you've ensnared me with your feminine wiles
Got me hooked on you like a drug
And now you've cut off my supply
I'm stuck on you and you can't even see
Hoping for something that can never be.
So many things that you've never heard me say.
I wish I could tell you...every second of everyday.
Always on my mind, you ain't going nowhere
I've got you on repeat. You're my song and it's so clear.
Baby I'm intoxicated
I think my heart is free, but it's caught

Hoping for something that can never be.
