Naked Emotion
As I lay here naked on the foor, I think back to what we were. We were fun, we were free, we couldn't keep our hands to ourself.
Now I am broken by your tongue. Your words stab deeper than seraded blades. I just wanted to please you. What we had was great. Now it's gone. I am the fool I know. I gave you all that was me. You consumed.
I have no more to give. Your greedy paws your greedy jaws...you put me on a pedistool..only to point at my flaws. Im shamed, broken and alone. I was just a game, a passtime, a plaything. You made me a mockery. Now here I lay in puddled...

Grief Stricken
Nothing left to be said
Words no longer have meaning
They have outran their purpose
There will be nothing left but silence
A silence that shall remain forever
No feelings left whatsoever
I will drown in my chosen solitude
Courtesy of my simplistic existence
Light no longer exists in my world
Darkness is all I now live for
Unknown path, am I heading towards something?
Or will I forever drift into an eternity of nothing?
Words no longer have meaning
They have outran their purpose
There will be nothing left but silence
A silence that shall remain forever
No feelings left whatsoever
I will drown in my chosen solitude
Courtesy of my simplistic existence
Light no longer exists in my world
Darkness is all I now live for
Unknown path, am I heading towards something?
Or will I forever drift into an eternity of nothing?

I Don't Know
I don't know if it's just the way I feel.
The way I have been,or slowly heal.
I don't know if it's something I have seen.
But sometimes,I wish for something I've never been.
Yearning to feel those memories once more.
I don't know if I just fell on the floor.
Or if I had t actually walk out the door.
Maybe it's something I drank or ate.
Maybe it's destiny or fate.
I don't know if I ate something wrong.
But I feel broken like a love song.
I don't see if it's something I drank.
I want to be frank,not blank. ...

Buried freedom and Expectations.
Through the dumped imposition of expectation,
we stare at each other.
No words needed to slip into each other’s minds.
Is it finally getting us?
Maybe the Herculean Task wasn’t a good idea.
All those promises and wishes I made
to keep you safe —
shattering in front of my eyes.
And even after giving my best,
it’s futile.
Why is there no freedom for us,
if that’s the only thing we want?
Should I give in?
Will you give in?
Fight, flight, fallen —
I see no end.
Do you have some hope left?
I...

Hollow Crown
I feel your weight upon my chest,
A hollow crown I can't contest.
You speak in tongues I almost know,
A language carved in undertow.
Each step I take is backwards now,
Your shadow bends, I learn to bow.
And I am tethered to the ache,
A fragile thread I dare not break.
Drag me down where your kingdom starts,
Bury me beneath your heart.
Lay your claim, tear my temple down,
Crown me with your hollow crown.
Let the void seep into my veins,
'Til nothing but your will remains.
Your hands are cold but so alive, ...
A hollow crown I can't contest.
You speak in tongues I almost know,
A language carved in undertow.
Each step I take is backwards now,
Your shadow bends, I learn to bow.
And I am tethered to the ache,
A fragile thread I dare not break.
Drag me down where your kingdom starts,
Bury me beneath your heart.
Lay your claim, tear my temple down,
Crown me with your hollow crown.
Let the void seep into my veins,
'Til nothing but your will remains.
Your hands are cold but so alive, ...

To My Old Self....
To my old self,
I apologize for turning out this way.
You held high hopes for the future —
I crushed them down,
all in vain.
one by one,
broke the promises we made,
lost your essence,
realized it too late.
Will I disappoint you,
if I became the adult we hated?
In moments of loneliness and despair,
I wish you were here,
to heal the wounds
with your love and care.
I tried to be
what we wished for,
but nothing ever seemed to work.
I brought more trouble.
I asked you to leave,
just to...
I apologize for turning out this way.

Quandary
I didn’t want
to thicken my skin
I didn’t want
to build tall walls
I didn’t want
to withdraw from giving…
But I decided
Those choices were better
Than the regular beatings
to my heart.
“Don’t give up on me” he begs
While still oblivious
confused how these scars
Exist
…
I wonder…
if they’re even really seen
…
Yet he asks
that I bare my soul
I can’t
to thicken my skin
I didn’t want
to build tall walls
I didn’t want
to withdraw from giving…
But I decided
Those choices were better
Than the regular beatings
to my heart.
“Don’t give up on me” he begs
While still oblivious
confused how these scars
Exist
…
I wonder…
if they’re even really seen
…
Yet he asks
that I bare my soul
I can’t

Look At Me
What Desperation Looks Like]
Glass shards traced
Something worse
Than these scars on my wrist.
I chose to draw blue hearts over those
Other caramel skins,
To prove that something tainted by me
Still had the potential to look beautiful.
When I spoke to the moon,
I didn’t complain.
I asked it to send someone my way
That would look at me like I wished you would.
I wanted someone.
Someone to look.
Look at me like God took time to sculpt me,
Look at me like no boy had ever done.
Look at...
Glass shards traced

You see no bravery in me
Friends
You see no bravery
In me
Because I am afraid
To end up poor
Like the people
That are sleeping
On the street of
Toronto
Also friend
I am always being
Very careful with my money
I never go over my budget
When I buy something
Like clothes from the
Second-hand store
I also don’t see anything wrong
In buying second-hand clothes
Yes friend the second-hand clothes
That I bought a while ago
I am wearing every single day
And I must say that it is my style
Of clothes
Friends ...
You see no bravery

Unwanted Double Date
Another year, the calendar turns,
Still silent, where your laughter learns
To echo in the empty air.
Today, a birthday,oh, the joy you'd share,
A happy day, you're two...bright new start,
But grief still tightly, clenches to my heart.
December eighth, a dreaded double date,
Your birth and your death, a cruel, harsh fate.
A life unborn, a future grim,
A world you never entered in.
No childhood joys, no sunlit days,
Just shadowed years, and the tear-filled haze.
My heart, a bird with broken wings,
Still flutters at the...
Still silent, where your laughter learns
To echo in the empty air.

But grief still tightly, clenches to my heart.

CAN'T GET RIGHT part 3
Yep yep that's right.
It is i says me.
Can't get right.
Aka the B.E.D.
I'm still alive just barely breathing.
Speaking on alot of bullshit.
Shit my eyes just can't stop seeing.
I relocated my residence.
Makes no difference, my thoughts are still hella bent.
Moved back close to family and friends.
Friends? Maybe not so much.
My dad has gone back to despising me since I'm back. Fuck.
No matter. My time is close at hand.
My body here on earth may be damned.
My soul is with God.
I have no self-esteem no confidence....

Bitter-Sweet Memories
Tonight, a soft melody plays in my heart,
echoing faintly, the sweetest love.
Here, thinking of you under clear moonlight,
you are still on my mind.
The sultry summer nights we spent together,
in pastel shades of lucid blue,
the memories of your beautiful brown eyes
and smooth caramel skin tone.
Come back to me—
you were all I wanted.
Now I’m here with memories,
memories—bitter-sweet memories.
There can never be another like you,
the one who made my every sunrise,
the woman—Puerto Rican,...
echoing faintly, the sweetest love.
Here, thinking of you under clear moonlight,
you are still on my mind.
The sultry summer nights we spent together,
in pastel shades of lucid blue,
the memories of your beautiful brown eyes
and smooth caramel skin tone.
Come back to me—

Now I’m here with memories,
