Unconditional love
"Why do you love me?"
He asked with eyes full of tears
"I don't deserve you"
He said as a tear started to run down his face
"I put you through so much shit,
and you still stay. Why?"
I tried to hold back tears
as his words hurt my heart
I gently explained
"There is this beautiful thing
called unconditional love" I said
A smile lit up his face
I still feel like he doesn't understand
Nothing he could could do
could make me lose my love for this man
Losing him would be worse...
He asked with eyes full of tears
"I don't deserve you"
He said as a tear started to run down his face

I tried to hold back tears

I gently explained
"There is this beautiful thing
called unconditional love" I said
A smile lit up his face
I still feel like he doesn't understand
Nothing he could could do
could make me lose my love for this man

Crazy in love
People tell me I'm crazy
because I won't give you up
They wonder why nothing you do is bad enough
Bad enough for me to run
Bad enough for me to be done
I'll admit I'm crazy
Crazy in love
My love for you out weighs
all the bad you've done
They ask why I don't hate you
The truth is I can't
I can't explain the happiness I feel
when you hold my hand
I've tried to give you up
I've tried to say it's the end
But I always end up running back to you again
When I try to give you up
my heart screams in pain ...
because I won't give you up
They wonder why nothing you do is bad enough
Bad enough for me to run
Bad enough for me to be done
I'll admit I'm crazy
Crazy in love
My love for you out weighs
all the bad you've done
They ask why I don't hate you
The truth is I can't
I can't explain the happiness I feel
when you hold my hand
I've tried to give you up
I've tried to say it's the end
But I always end up running back to you again
When I try to give you up
my heart screams in pain ...

How Long [Redux]
There are times when a man needs to back down from his strength
And remember his weakness…
The way isn’t always easy to see but the feeling is unmistakable
My heart has missed you
You who are closest to me…
And how can that be
Have you learned to live around me instead of with me?
If I think I lead
Where have I lead us to
A place where we each go our own way
And say we’re together
Can I still touch the part of you that thought I was everything?
Because I so desperately want to feel like that person again
Would you...
And remember his weakness…
The way isn’t always easy to see but the feeling is unmistakable
My heart has missed you
You who are closest to me…
And how can that be
Have you learned to live around me instead of with me?
If I think I lead
Where have I lead us to
A place where we each go our own way
And say we’re together
Can I still touch the part of you that thought I was everything?
Because I so desperately want to feel like that person again
Would you...

Processing
As I have previously written, my mother growing up was hard to live with, and that's putting it nicely. I never felt good enough, but now, she's back...the mother that I had up until I was about five, before she turned into a hard women.
As she lay there curled up on the sofa, her ice water with the straw clanking against the metal thermos sides as she stirred the half melted chunks around it's perimeter, all got quiet as she out of no where says, Sis...I need to tell you a few things.
As the lump in my throat seemed as if it was starting to block my airway, I mumbled ok, but wasn't...

Gary Lineker a genuine Brit and quite discernibly also, a man of high stature!
By Stanley Collymore
So there are some of you, effectively
actually intellectually challenged,
brainwashed and invariably
braindead; also, as well, similarly and rather
thoroughly gullible and toxically verminous
scum; readily and simply easily led by your
noses, and with others wholly in charge of
that course of action, as you quite eagerly
at their behest quite actively, jump on this
evidently quite orchestrated, anti-BBC but
specifically rather in this case, really Gary
Lineker's bandwagon, very vilely churning ...

The Cat Lady (part 1)
Ain't this a bitch… I haven’t seen her for more than twenty years and now she went on and gotten herself killed…
A few days ago I got a call from an estate lawyer or something asking me to come back to London. I haven’t been home since I was kicked out. It’s not my home anymore. I left London when I was eighteen and I haven’t been back since.
“Lord Howard..” The testatrix began her deliberation… however I had to cut her off.
“You know very well I am not a lord.”
“Yes, well, my mistake, please forgive...

Moses And Abraham Knew To Give Thanks
God created everything, therefore he owns the whole. I could say God is in everything, and he is.
For when he created, he said let everything that has breath worship me.
So..there's the proof.
He blessed us with free will to seek and believe in what we want.
That's love...
But in truth, nature, frequency, all in all...is owned by only one.
You acknowledge nature, yet something prohibits you from taking the next step.
How perfect are his works and mechanics.
How Beautiful the clouds of his feet.
Following smart philosophers when you...

Raindrops
As I take my final walk
Down to my favorite lake
The voices from beyond talk
Reflecting on my life I shake
Myself staring back at me
In the crystal blue reflection
My life and my history
And a thorough introspection
I see my reflection start to cry
My tears I try to splash away
Regret that made me want to die
Revisiting me this incredible day
The dark angry clouds form
Cutting through me like a knife
Then the water transforms
As I anguish at my life ...
Down to my favorite lake
The voices from beyond talk
Reflecting on my life I shake
Myself staring back at me
In the crystal blue reflection
My life and my history
And a thorough introspection
I see my reflection start to cry
My tears I try to splash away
Regret that made me want to die
Revisiting me this incredible day
The dark angry clouds form
Cutting through me like a knife
Then the water transforms
As I anguish at my life ...

Humanity's Siblings
Dear Sister,
If by chance you find yourself standing in the middle of a ball room, dressed in rags, soul exhausted.
Were you even invited? How the hell did you get here?
Layers of beautiful people circle about you.
Laughing, poking, provoking you to respond to their talk and chatter.
It's just ok, let your internal need to defend yourself grow numb.
Be grateful for their lessons.
Matter of fact, thank God for them.
A little deeper?
Thank God for loving you enough to invest people's time to help you grow....
