Devil Eyes
I went back.
I feasted on crow.
I knew all the answers you wanted me to know
I looked at you with love in my eyes
I was the one who put the past aside,
On my hope.
On my hope.
You'll never know the hearts I laid bare,
that day that you never believed how much I cared.
My different hearts on different days,
yet breaking always.
The pained colors of "what if" became my only scheme.
What if I wasn't calm?
What if I could make myself belong
and just...
I feasted on crow.
I knew all the answers you wanted me to know
I looked at you with love in my eyes
I was the one who put the past aside,
On my hope.
On my hope.
You'll never know the hearts I laid bare,
that day that you never believed how much I cared.
My different hearts on different days,
yet breaking always.
The pained colors of "what if" became my only scheme.
What if I wasn't calm?
What if I could make myself belong
and just...

RESIDUAL OF LOST FEELINGS
Its true mens go through hurt and pain just like you do, feeling the mere desperation that comes from being hurt and abuse, compelling the mind to just shut down and keep you out of our heart and mind.
For it is no big secret that we men also suffer with low self esteem, believing in what we though was not a dream, only to be awaken in a nightmare increase by pain and scattered thoughts of how it use to be, when it was about...

pernicious break-ups with loquacious encounters vs. truculent matters of love with domestic disasters
To watch two people engulf themselves full of love and hate
Showing an example of how perfection can be achieved
Experiencing the highs and lows struggling to keep the faith
Inch by inch there are no miles just baby steps to our dreams
" I fucking love you " and " all I ever ask is for your attention "
Losing ourselves to the nonsense overreacting way to soon
" I bust my ass at work " and " im not good at affection "
Forgetting to not waste water on gardens that never bloom
So you gave it your all and you just feel its not good enough
As we try to...

Dysfunctional Love; Roses and Russian Olive Trees
We go round for round
Grinding each other into the ground
We're stuck in tit for tat
You did this so I did that
Over and over, Back and back
If we're not fucking we're under attack
If we were in person we'd have killed each other
God knows there's always another
You lie to my face saying I'm the only one
You're a liar and burn as bright as the sun
I'm the type to jump off a cliff holding your hand
But admit we have problems? Who'd understand?
For we will always be fire on fire
Living and dying for our desire
Some nights I...
Grinding each other into the ground
We're stuck in tit for tat
You did this so I did that
Over and over, Back and back
If we're not fucking we're under attack

You lie to my face saying I'm the only one
You're a liar and burn as bright as the sun

The Little Shul in Manchester, UK
Aged five. The Sabbath.
In the morning, we took a walk to the synagogue in Cheetham Hill The Little Shul, as we referred to it. We lived in a three-bedroom terrace house in Sedgley Road, about two miles from the centre of Manchester.
The houses surrounding the one in Sedgley Road had privet hedges out by the fronts, along with the damp look common to properties in the north of England. A few minutes away stood a huge Catholic Church on the main road.
This building for whatever reason would conjure up images in my mind of fried cashew nuts...

The Break Up (Mary)
I met you when I was at burnt mill
Familiar name but I heard still
That you were a dame that could hurt, kill
So I didn’t race up to make your acquaintance
But all of my mates had been saying your name
Smelling your fragrance at every place
Couldn’t escape, Id picture your face whenever I wake up, I needed a taste
One night after school I was meeting the boys
Thought it was basketball up at the courts
I didn’t know they had brought you along
And that’s when I let you get into my thoughts
You whispered to me as you...
Familiar name but I heard still
That you were a dame that could hurt, kill
So I didn’t race up to make your acquaintance
But all of my mates had been saying your name
Smelling your fragrance at every place
Couldn’t escape, Id picture your face whenever I wake up, I needed a taste
One night after school I was meeting the boys

I didn’t know they had brought you along
And that’s when I let you get into my thoughts

Confession: The Choice I Would Never Make
Heavenly choir sings,
And so plays the strings,
As in my ears it rings,
All too true,
It makes me blue.
Sometimes, when I hear certain songs,
Even though there's no wrongs,
In my life, or the music,
It gives me a feeling tragic.
I feel no bitterness, or resentment,
But this, I lament,
Sometimes when I listen to certain songs,
I get not just butterflies, but also a feeling as if it grabs me like prongs.
A feeling...as if I want to pack a bag, and just run...
Run...run...run.
Why do I...
And so plays the strings,
As in my ears it rings,
All too true,
It makes me blue.
Sometimes, when I hear certain songs,

I feel no bitterness, or resentment,
But this, I lament,

Run...run...run.

RESURRECTED FROM LOVING YOU
As these very words screams from the mere depth of my mind it feels as if they are ripping my heart to shreds into tiny little pieces of broken glass that cant be mended, but yet as these words resonates deep within the chambers of my thoughts what resurfaces is the constant struggle to mend my broken heart, back together again after you broke it without even a care of the outcome of my heart nor my soul nor my mind.
But what you truly forgot to realize that I never stay down long for through my travels I always...

CREEPING IN THE DARKNESS
It has gotten so hard lately for me to even think straight since you walked out of my life and world without even speaking a word leaving me with just so many unanswered questions for the depth of my mind, for I though we were on the same page as far as what we wanted for our life and world together as one man to one woman but I see that you had other plans creeping deep within the darkness of our suppose to be lives as one.

I’ve Been Running
(Perform to “Zombies” travis Scott type beat)
I’ve been, running, all, my, life, I
I’ve been, running, all, my, life, I
I’ve been, running, all, my, life, I
——————————————— I
I’ve been, running, all, my, life, I
I’ve been, running, all, my, life, I
I’ve been, running, all, my, life, I
——————————————— I
I’ve been running all my life
I can’t seem to win this fight
I can never get it right
I’ve been pulled from left to right
I can’t seem to get away
I ain’t seen a better day
I have always let you...
I’ve been, running, all, my, life, I
I’ve been, running, all, my, life, I
I’ve been, running, all, my, life, I
——————————————— I
I’ve been, running, all, my, life, I
I’ve been, running, all, my, life, I
I’ve been, running, all, my, life, I
——————————————— I
I’ve been running all my life
I can’t seem to win this fight
I can never get it right
I’ve been pulled from left to right
I can’t seem to get away
I ain’t seen a better day
I have always let you...

Twisted Truth
I can’t I can’t I can’t
No matter what I do
I can’t I can’t I can’t
I know I’m gonna lose
I can’t I can’t I can’t
I’ll never see it through
I can’t I can’t I can’t
I can’t
I’m giving what I got
But I know it ain’t enough
I’m reaching for the top
But the game has called my bluff
You can witness as I drop
And land with thuds in clouds of dust
I thought that love was what this was
Yeah you guessed it, it was lust
Put my heart aside and let desire lead the drive
My destination is a life that I...
No matter what I do
I can’t I can’t I can’t
I know I’m gonna lose
I can’t I can’t I can’t
I’ll never see it through
I can’t I can’t I can’t
I can’t
I’m giving what I got
But I know it ain’t enough
I’m reaching for the top
But the game has called my bluff
You can witness as I drop
And land with thuds in clouds of dust
I thought that love was what this was
Yeah you guessed it, it was lust
Put my heart aside and let desire lead the drive
My destination is a life that I...

The cruelest thing
Went over my old poems here
like flicking through an old photo album
mostly shit, some deeply profound
many about you, my love and intent
clear as fucking day
Starting to question yours though
sure feeling played the fool
orchestred like only you can
what you trying to do paint me a monster, fucking erase me,
what was I to you nothing more than a sperm donor something to be cast aside
erased, as if an immaculate conception occurred, rather than the love that was there, from my perspective anyway
what you want to piss...
