Starlight

1-1-21

Starlight gazing next to me 
I feel your warmth up in this breeze 
In the core of my entity 
Sparks a glow when you’re in the vicinity 
Chemistry like electricity 
We connect in the wreck 
Together, no matter the weather 

It’s been like forever 
Since we saw the stars 
They’ve gotten very far 
This fire won’t let up 
It beams show the ember 
So pardon my temper

Vibrations reignite the light 
I revel, something stops my mind 
Danger zone to the right 
Our beings need to realign 
Is it in our design to decline

All through the night 
Sometimes I write 
To continue this fight 
But will we reunite 

Counting the hours
This love has gone sour
Love has some superpower

Through all of my highs
I dab my eyes when I cry 

Moving forward, I rise

Empty

6/23/15

It’s just that I feel empty without him
But whenever we talk I feel my mind block
My heart wants and wants but it never wins
Walls built up so tall

You don’t even try to climb them
You think you’ll fall
But if you tear them down
We’ll be buried alive
But with you by my side
It could be worth all the pain and the climb
It’s not all bad because if I leave
So much is at steak
I don’t want to feel my heart ache
I just need you here
So I can lower these walls
Let you in, once and for all
We can establish then what we really want
I’m just so empty without you
I feel like I need you
I wouldn’t want a to live in a world without you

He’s just not listening
Doesn’t take me seriously
I love this man

I love you man
Don’t you understand
Stop playing games this is serious
If you want to be with me I want to hear it
Scream it at the top of your lungs
Spit the words out
Then smear them
On to my subconscious
So then I know
I’ll be aware and we’ll finally grow
I said Scream it at the top of your lungs
Spit the words out
Then smear them
On to my subconscious
So then I know
I’ll be aware and we’ll finally grow

We’ll finally grow that’s what I told him
If only he’d let his love show…
But he won’t
So I should disown him

Is that what you want?
You want me to leave ??
So then months down the line
I’ll receive this message of plea?
You wanting me back
Cause its always been me…

Why does it take so long
For people to finally see what they lost when it’s gone
It seems like its never on time
If it were it would all be sublime

What Never Made It To Her Couch. 

1-5-21

I think about suicide all the time
It’s always about trivial things 
I never go through with it 
But it always crosses my mind 

I always feel like I’m better off dead 
Who wants to deal with life
I really didn’t ask to be here
Sometimes I feel terrible and miserable
I guess the feelings gloomy 

The spliff helps but I want to build a life 
Where I don’t want to die 
And I don’t want to run away from it

Not my job, home , relationships
Nothing 
I want to surround myself with 
Goodness
Happiness 
And most of all
God

Because God is love.

Soft Voices 

1-10-20

Soft voices from within
I hear your whispers 
See your grin 

It’s our language developing
This time things feel real
My dark clouds are now subsiding 

Purely emitting zeal 
I must express honestly 
How I feel

For now’s the time of action 
To say I’m surprised 
Would be a fraction

From what’s said done 
I can no longer run 
I can sit here and be still 

Soft voice in my ear
Your softness I want near 
Your love I wanna feel 

You’re so much more
You have healed me to my core
You have healed my heart that tore

It was sore
But now I soar
Forever yours ?

Can’t be too sure 
You, I can’t speak for
But it is you, I adore

I cannot complain 
I have all that I need
I no longer need to abstain 
From this I have been freed

Moving forward I know
Moving forward I’ll grow
Whether or not I have a beau 
It’s for a reason life goes slow

Sometimes it’s fast
And you can’t forecast 
On the contrast 
Looks like overcast 

So when things start picking up 
Look for balance 
Whenever you’re confused back up
Before the damage 

It’s things like this that I can manage 
And when I can’t stand the rain 
I give it to God who takes all the pain 
He gives me the advantage 

So I am content
It’s to him that I vent 
He helps me pay my rent 
And those are my two cents

Why 

1-12-21

Why do we do the things we do
I’ve always wondered
No one really knew what you went through
Until your demeanor plundered

Everyone is mostly caught up with themselves
Nothing wrong, just want to break out my cell 
I want to call your attention 
I must be stuck in another dimension

The cause and reason may be unknown 
Take listen, put on your earphones
Listen to this song
It’s what you needed to hear 
All along 

Its the why 
The why you stayed 
The why you’re alive 
Don’t hide
What inside 
Its why you’re saved
Don’t be afraid
Keep pushing on 
& You’ll get strong 

You’re meant to be here 
Yes you are
You shine brighter
Than a star 
Your very essence 
Has granted your presence 
A spot 
& that is a lot
