Complicated Love

It's as if every time i take 2 step forward,
You always make me take 5 steps backward.
You're on my mind all the time,
But am i on yours?
I miss you so much,
But do you miss me?
I'm crazy about you,
But do you even see it?

Sometimes, sitting here,
I feel tears rolling down my cheeks,
Just the thought of you,
Makes my heart melt into to two.
But yet, i can't let you out of my head.
I can't go a day without thinking about you,
Or i may go crazy.

Just hoping and praying,
That you'll soon realize that,
I'm going to be here for you, when you need it most,
I'm going to be here for you, through your roughest time,
I'm going to be here for you, when no one else show care,
I'm going to be here for you, because i love you.

Rest In Paradise Eric Toscano

Another innocent soul down

But this time it’s our own

Making us all say goodbye

Because he was shot down by a drive-by

We hear the the streets are at war

But we won’t take it to consideration until the one we love it out that door

We now have to face the truth and embrace

So we can work together to solve this case

Working together we can start promoting positive

To put an end to all the negative

Temptations

Can you hear my pulse through my skin?
Can you see the hair on the back of my neck rising?
Can you sense the need of my body?
Can you see the temptation in my eyes?
When I'm around you I feel weak.
Not that bad weak, but that good weak. 
The one that has me tingling all over. 
From my head to my toes.
From my mind to my soul.
From my skin to my nether regions.
You make me feel something so strong. 
A new definition of temptation.
The kind you don't sense too often. 
It's a new feeling, the kind that I can't describe. 
I'm curious of your mind. 
I'm curious of your thoughts.
I'm curious of what I can see when I look deep into your eyes. 
Are you feeling what I'm feeling?
Not quite sure, but I feel like you do.
My senses may be off, but...
How about I pause?
I'd stop but that'll be hard. 
'Cuz when I try to ignore these strange new feelings,
It doesn't seem to want to budge. 
So what do I do?
I sit here and write a poem I'll never show to you.
In fear of your reaction.
So I guess that is it.
A confession you'll never see.
A confession of my temptation.

What Use To Can'T Always Be

Contemplating back to a time when there use to be an us, when our relationship was built on trust, but truly it was only lust.

But I must admit that I was only being honest when I looked into your eyes and said I was in love with you.

If I can undo the past, I would go back to the time where I reckoned that you were not being true and seek to see-through your mind to have caught that clue.

But what can I do, I already knew, but I didn't want to accept the fact that I might lose you.

But I did, I did lose you, and I was torn to the deepest part of my soul to the point where I felt I was never ever going to be the same, like it was some kind of fate.

Sure I had hate; I hated you for misleading me and then leading me to believe that our relationship was going to a great place.

It was unfair that you had to tear my heart into two, misguiding me to think that you cared.

Thinking what we shared was rare.

I thought it was a nightmare, but I came to realization that I shouldn't care.

I should stop the war that was going on between my mind and my heart before it gets too far that I can't ignore.

Tough yes it was tough but enough is enough.

What we had is now through, and I am sure enough done with you.

My Temptation

The look.

The simple look that will make my mind explode.

Your lips.

Any movement and I’m ready and will give you my all.

Your eyes

The exoticness that compels mine to not look away.

Your touch

The soft lingering fingers that makes my body melt.

You.

Stirring feelings and emotions that I’ve never experience.

You.

Make my knees weak, when you push me against the…

You.

Make my body wake up and feel alive…new

You. 

Are my temptation.

Confusion

I struggled to let you go 
Why does these feelings constantly grow?
You walked out my life with no hesitation
Got me here thinking of all the possible explanation.
Puzzled and confused of your decision 
Never thought of this division.
But everytime you return
My heart burn.
What is this feeling that I feel
It all feels so unreal. 
You hurt me and left me 
Why can't my heart see?
Do I use loved or love?
Something I will always speak of.
I attempt to take you out of my life
But it always feels like a knife,
Trying to make it's way to cut part of you out of my heart
But we never seem to pull apart
You and I have many memories together
In cold and hot weather
Everywhere I turn I see your face
Those are the times that I embrace
The warmth and joy that I felt when I was with you.

I'M Still Not Over You

I can sit here and retrieve all of our memories
But why bother holding on when you've already left
Contemplating because the thought of the hurt feels so fresh
Trenching in my tears because it's so agonizing
I go back to the times when it was all joy and happiness
But like a dark cloud, the bad times seems to overlap the others
The fights, the tears, the emotional period, the look on your face
I can retrace back; visualize it all in only but a second
It seems to have been tattooed to my mind to never be forgotten
I try every method in the book to erase any memory of us
But like a nightmare, it constantly come back to haunt me
Continuously playing in my head of your face, your smile, us
Something that I can't seem to have the power to control
Like a deer being preyed by a lion and will be caught soon
I'm getting dizzy, the room seems to be spinning
It's getting faster and faster and don't seem to want to stop 
It's slowing down, everything seems to have slowed down
Now I see everything in slow motion and I see you
I got a chance to see your true face, who you truly are
It was all a game, a game you played and got bored of
Now it's game over, and we're over for good
I see it now, I see that... I'm still not over you.

Love

The day that we became to be
Been nothing but amazing to me
You make me feel complete
And no other feeling can compete
You are my shining start
That I gaze at from afar
Reminiscing our love
That can be represented by two doves
Are we truly meant to be?
We would have to wait and see
If we are settle on a date
To spend our life together eternally.

My Secret

I’ve come to point in my life
Where I can look into my eyes
And say you are beautiful
But I cannot look down.
My face, I feel pretty
My eyes have this exotic look
The way my lips are shaped
The way my nose is structured
The way how everything comes together
My face is beautiful that is only when.
But when I look down, I seem to look away
I see a body that I still have yet to love
I see stretch marks that has been engraved into my skin
I see the stomach that is always peeking out
Like it’s playing peek-a-boo but more always visible
I’ve had body image issue dating back to forever
I’ve gone through certain extreme to feel skinny
I’ve had certain moments where I gave up
I’ve had certain moments where I love my body
But now at age 19, I’ve never been so insecure
I’ve gone back to methods I told myself I wouldn’t
I have consistently weighed myself throughout the day and night
I can’t eat the way I use to
I’m mentally unstable to the point where I’m at war
“What you’re doing is wrong!”
“But its working”
STOP!
I just want to accept myself 
All of me, the flaws and the beauty
But I can’t. 
And to be honest I don’t know when that will be.

Untitled

all you care about is how you look

spending hours and hours on your face

trying to cover an speck of beauty you have, that you forget

all the morals you have in yourself

you lost all knowledge that has been placed in your head

so desperate that you'll get on your knees 

and do anything for the taste of popularity

popularity, whats' so special about it?

you look down on people, make them feel bad about themselves, and truly just be fake

is it the attention you crave?

why can't you be known for being you?

they say you have to love yourself before others

so why give a damn about what they say?

it's your life, live it with no hesitation.
