In the End
In the end
I'll need a friend
But for now, i'll just ask that you forgive me
.
.........................................for everything I did when i don't remember anything...
By then, it will be at a point where i cannot take it back
Hopefully, i won't take your words as an attack
Because then, i wasn't in my right mind.
Sure enough, you will say that you will
It won't be fun or a thrill,
Can't you see what i'm saying to you?
Forgive me, please.
I'm on my knees..
Begging God to forgive me for...

** MASTERMIND **
PATIENCE ISN'T MY STRONG POINT
SELFISHNESS ABOLISHES MY KINDNESS
AS I STARE IN THE MIRROR
THE MORE I SEE, MY CHARACTER APPEARS LESS.
THE FOUNDATION OF MY RECOVERY
IS SUPPOSED TO BE BUILT ON EVEN LAND
MY FLAWED, IMPERFECTIONS SPEAK VOLUMES
IN A DROWNING POOL OF SELF-MADE QUICKSAND
DARLING, MY DEAR, FORSAKE ME NOT
AS I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THIS FLAG OF LIES
I PRAY TO GOD THAT HE STILL LIVES WITHIN ME
ALTHOUGH, DOUBT IS IMMINENT, FOR IT ISN'T GOD WHO I DESPISE.
SLUMBERING INTO A PEACEFUL ETERNAL SLEEP
I REMAIN UNCHANGED AND WEEP...

Trapped Inside the Ocean Tides
Ocean tides
I feel like the ocean waves, in a hurry to come to tide
I feel like I’m not worth the ground I walk on, so fragile.
Pain is nothing new to me, just something I endure.
Forever torturing me, just to see what I can handle.
SO many times, I’ve let you hurt me
So many times, I have given up on and left so calmly.
I just don’t know what to do anymore
And my heart hurts in such a way that the pain is slowly killing me..
A long time ago, I felt that nothing could ever be different.
I am always adapting to my environment with such...

CATCH A GLIMPSE *(OF THE REAL ME)
NO ONE SEES THE REAL ME
IF THEY WOULD CATCH A GLIMPSE
THEY WOULD SURELY SHATTER MY HEART
FOR MY ENEMIES HEARTS HAVE GROWN SO COLD
WHILE OUR FAMILIES GROW SO DISTANT
WHY MUST AN ACT OF SIN BE CARRIED OUT
WHEN MOST OF MY INTENTIONS ARE PURE
THESE FEELINGS OF DISMAY AND PAIN
ARE WORN LIKE A BADGE OF TRUTH
FREEDOM BECKONS ME FROM A DISTANCE
LIKE A LONG, LOST SIREN BECKONING THE SAILOR
TO COME CLOSER AND THEN WRECK THEIR SHIP
ON THE ROCKS OF A MILLION RAZOR BLADES
SURGING LIKE ELECTRICITY IN THE PITCH BLACK NIGHT.
IF THEY WOULD CATCH A GLIMPSE
THEY WOULD SURELY SHATTER MY HEART
FOR MY ENEMIES HEARTS HAVE GROWN SO COLD
WHILE OUR FAMILIES GROW SO DISTANT
WHY MUST AN ACT OF SIN BE CARRIED OUT
WHEN MOST OF MY INTENTIONS ARE PURE
THESE FEELINGS OF DISMAY AND PAIN
ARE WORN LIKE A BADGE OF TRUTH
FREEDOM BECKONS ME FROM A DISTANCE
LIKE A LONG, LOST SIREN BECKONING THE SAILOR
TO COME CLOSER AND THEN WRECK THEIR SHIP
ON THE ROCKS OF A MILLION RAZOR BLADES
SURGING LIKE ELECTRICITY IN THE PITCH BLACK NIGHT.

***CrUsHeD WiThin The LioNs DeN***
Love too much
Hurt too much
Always needing a heart to touch
Limitless sources of abundance so clear
No ability to cause you harm or unnecessary fear
Sometimes momentary blindness, inability to truly hear
Critical lapses of excruciating, intensity from my vivid past
Try, as I might, to make the most healthy relationship last
As days turn into nights, I wish a moment of bliss with you that would last.
Not sure anymore, of anything that is real
Putrid, agonizing, annoyance seems to keep me off keel
Hoping, dreaming and wanting for my...

HOT BURNING FLESH
Feel the fire on your flesh, burning, transforming your entirety
Keeping all your secrets, forever hidden from the ones that you choose to deceive.
And if you feel that he is getting too close, run away…. Far away..
Never be too far away from home, to truly leave.
There in the distance, there is a siren beckoning for you.
She has her hands out to embrace you, only to crush you.
Her velvet dress is plunging down, so deep you can see inside her.
But, its never enough to make her want you as much as you want her..

PENETRATE MY SOUL
WHEN IT SEEMS LIKE ALL IS LOST
AND YOU HAVE NO ONE ELSE TO COUNT ON, READY TO GIVE IN
ALL OF A SUDDEN, SOMEONE APPEARS
AND IT CAUSES YOU TO TAKE INVENTORY OF YOUR CHARACTER WITHIN
FOR ALL THESE YEARS, I DREAMED OF BEING WITH SOMEONE REAL
SOMEONE THAT COULD REALLY ACCEPT ME FOR ME
YOU WERE ONE HUNDRED PERCENT UNSELFISHLY AND LOVING
I HAVE ALWAYS YOUR LOVE COULD SET ME FREE
WHILE YOU SLEEP, SOMETIMES I GAZE INTO YOUR SOUL
NOT OFTEN WILL THERE EVER BE
SOMEONE WHO CAN TRULY LOVE AND BE LOVED
ESPECIALLY SOMEONE AS DIFFICULT AS THE LIKES OF...

Goodbye.
I follow the light at the end of the hallway
Towards the kitchen, where all is dark and I swallow the fear.
As I creep towards my destination,
I realize that our future is never quite as clear.
It pains me to say goodbye to the ones I loved the most
But it doesn't help matters to stay and ruin everything we've ever managed to save
I open the refrigerator and grab a beverage of my choice.
Close it softly, tears fall down my cheeks, strength and control---- I have to be brave.
Tiptoe, tiptoe, silently, quietly back down the corridor to the light...

SCARS
Sadness envelops
My heart and soul
Keeping me confined
Choices taking their toll.
Freedom seems so far away
Melting into an abyss of emptiness.
Bloody parts and organs dying
Not coping well with all of the stress
Something grips me, leaving me cripple.
Tortured by my own worst enemy, myself
Too late for the past, so tainted
Unforgiven, unwanted,
...

Praying for Forgiveness
font=Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Grande]
My pain is like a dripping faucet
abused and mistreated
My overall condition, worsening drip by drip by drip.
Filling up the sink of life and drowning slowly,
agonizingly.
Choices made with haste and without true understanding of the possible result of the bitterness and pain I was causing.
The loss of the only child you carried in your womb, protected and loved by you, tenderly and with intent.
Mistakes so numerous, an exact moment of loss not known.
Immature woman given young child to raise in this world ...

FROM DENVER TO ANYWHERE
2-3-13
THE SUNRISE APPEARS OVER THE MAJESTIC MOUNTAINS
AS I GAZE INTO THE BLUEST COTTONBALL SKY, TEARS WELL UP IN MY EYES
ONLY GOD COULDVE MADE THIS EARTH WE LIVE ON
JUST GRATEFUL TO BE ABLE TO SEE ANOTHER SUNRISE.
ALL MY RAW EMOTIONS WELL UP WITHIN ME NOW
TEARS WILL FALL, BUT EVENTUALLY THEY WILL FADE
FOR I KNOW THAT LOVE IS EVERLASTING
ALL OF MY FOUNDATION BUILT, THE BEST OF HIS PLANS THAT HAVE EVER BEEN MADE.
CURIOUSITY HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY ENEMY
CAN'T SEEM TO SEE FOREST THROUGH THE TREES.
SOLDIERS MARCH TO THE BEAT THEY HAVE BEEN...
