Forever Worn
Love when it slips through, your fingers. you are left with a discarded cardigan. Its seen better days. It has been worn draped from shoulder's who never felt the weight of the world as it was shared and cared for with a label of delicacy and fibres that withstood the test of durability. A double-knit pearl one knit two with a tight stitch which was entwined. You never realised that years down the line it was exchangeable.
Now your favourite is demoted in an infrastructural remodel. It doesn't seem to meet the new guidelines it’s not considered to be a classic staple piece it...

Forgotten
I’m drinking on a Wednesday
And it isn’t even noon
I try to make the hurt go away
Want to fly over the moon
Each morning when I wake up
This shit starts up again
When the hurting stop?
When will this torture end?
When will I forget what you did?
Replay it all the time
Betrayal that I guess I earned
Deserved it for the lies
Karma found its way to me
And now I have to pay
Pay the price for evil deeds
I pay it every day
I know that I don’t deserve you
Or all you put me through
I...
And it isn’t even noon
I try to make the hurt go away
Want to fly over the moon
Each morning when I wake up
This shit starts up again
When the hurting stop?
When will this torture end?
When will I forget what you did?
Replay it all the time
Betrayal that I guess I earned
Deserved it for the lies
Karma found its way to me
And now I have to pay
Pay the price for evil deeds
I pay it every day
I know that I don’t deserve you
Or all you put me through
I...

You do not Have to worry
You do not have to worry
About me any more
You have no idea of what you're writing
When you're adding up the score
You have no idea of who I am
And care so even less
I am more than over you
And have nothing to confess
You don't own the English language
None of the words are now your own
If you treat others, as you have me
You will find youself alone
This is all the time, I'll waste on you
I'm surprised I went this far
I will not mention any names
I know, you know, just who you are
About me any more
You have no idea of what you're writing
When you're adding up the score
You have no idea of who I am
And care so even less
I am more than over you
And have nothing to confess
You don't own the English language
None of the words are now your own
If you treat others, as you have me
You will find youself alone
This is all the time, I'll waste on you
I'm surprised I went this far
I will not mention any names
I know, you know, just who you are

Opposites
Love’s Hate's
gentle touch enraged strikes
embraces thrashes
the connection. the affection.
Love Hate
is wounded, is laughing,
scared, cruel,
and confused. and amused.
Opposites
stemming
from the same
place.

She Listened
She Listened
Tragedy
Is commonplace,
We live it
Everyday,
And when it comes
To love's erase,
There seems
No other way.
Would he'd said,
"Go hide your face,"
And she had
Done the deed,
And then perchance
She'd stole away
Upon some
Faithful steed.
But to the depths,
Where none are spared
To birth
Each self anew,
Yes, there she's drown
In hatchery,
Where nunneries
Lie to.
Thirteen was
Unlucky then,
When added ...

is war all there is ?
you hate them
you haven’t met them
but you hate them
they hate you
they haven’t met you
but they hate you
know better
than this
you haven’t met them

Below the surface
Where once there was harshness,
compassion now flows.
Where once I sensed sharpness,
a golden heart shows.
But the critical spirit—
I wonder who knows?
compassion now flows.
Where once I sensed sharpness,
a golden heart shows.
But the critical spirit—
I wonder who knows?

Points Of View
you gotta
respect what you want in life
or else it'll turn to dust in your hands
these are tales from a
first hand account
the amount of woulda coulda shoulda's
that slipped through the fingers
does the regret linger?
only as learning lessons
a sankofa principle
look
backwards then move forward
with remembrance as your shield
see the field of dreams with an 'old' set of eyes
be patient with the patient
you're both under each other's care
know she's hurting just like you
needs more...

Shifts in Perception
It feels like
being surrounded by a dark fog,
Waking up in this existence.
Completely surrounded
by strangers that know my name
But agree to keep the distance.
I'm speaking in babbel,
My simple thoughts cannot be heard,
Even with insistance.
What pity,
To point at my perception of salvation
And to be met with resistance.
I find I was wrong,
My chains are as confined as theirs,
And all worn with proud persistence.
I have to accept
We are just parallel realities
In a world of...
being surrounded by a dark fog,
Waking up in this existence.
Completely surrounded
by strangers that know my name
But agree to keep the distance.
I'm speaking in babbel,
My simple thoughts cannot be heard,
Even with insistance.

And to be met with resistance.

Can we save this
No matter how much we try,
Can we really save this?
All the fighting,
All the arguing,
Are they really worth something?
Are they constructive
Or the cause of our destruction?
We both giving it our
But this turmoil between is driving us insane.
Is it really worth the pain?
All the sacrifice and our desperate attempts to save?
Can you really say
If it's me or you who's dragging us down?
No matter how much we try
There's no leaving behind this monkey we've dragging around...
The weight is slowly killing...
Can we really save this?

DO YOU WANT IT, DO YOU NEED IT
WHEN will you know that you will have a wonderful, thought of the romantic kind with a SENSE, of the most wonderful feelings. As it comes from that kindred spirit that flows from this figure that stands before your eyes. 👁️👁️ Yet THROUGH process of someone else mind. Reaching into the very deepness of your BODY AND SOUL, and then you will know as you will understand.That there is a difference between what you think, you have and when you have nothing, but the hurt and the fact that it will always be, deeply rooted in the process of the illusions. THAT you were...

THE MUD BEING THE SAME
Exchanging bullets, bombs, gas
obeying hole-in-the-ground commands
unknown the face of the enemy
monstrous in imaginings
Exchanging well wishes, songs, stories, cigarettes,
laughs, smiles, a bit of sport.
one day of Christmas detente, cease fire
enemies indistinguishable but for their clothing
The following day
was it harder to pull the trigger?
obeying hole-in-the-ground commands
unknown the face of the enemy
monstrous in imaginings
Exchanging well wishes, songs, stories, cigarettes,
laughs, smiles, a bit of sport.
one day of Christmas detente, cease fire
enemies indistinguishable but for their clothing
The following day
was it harder to pull the trigger?
