A Bad Hair Day

Walking around my parent's house in the morning
With a bed hair that is breaking down
My mother is in the kitchen scorning
Before I knew it I was wearing a gown

Valentines Day

Valentine Day is arriving soon
And your smile is as bright as the moon
So why don't you give me a kiss
Because this chance we cannot miss

Don't be wrong this is not some cheesy hook up line
Perhaps we can also go out to dine
Because your smile is a crime
Even when your face is covered in grime

So what do you have to say
Won't you be mine on Valentines Day
You and I cannot let this chance pass
Especially when you are one fine lass

Speck of Hope

Day after day I feel my heart aching,
As I hold my head in my weary hands,
Anxiety caused me to start screaming,
Because my fragile heart has turned to sands,
Slowly it falls into a hourglass,
Each sand quietly fills up the spaces,
Piling inside like a Sunday's Mass,
Looking straight ahead with Poker Faces.

Behind those faces lies the hidden truths,
Of the seven deadly sins that exists,
The sins that all began when they were youths,
Sins that caused me to bash trees with my fists,
Oh how I yearn for forgiveness and hope,
The hope to live that's not given by God,
For I have dug a hole without a slope,
So I lean against the dirt for a squad.

Or a tiny speck of hope to arrive,
And rescue me alive so I can thrive,
So I can learn all I need to survive,
And only then my soul will be revive.

His Weighted Heart

No matter where I am
I will always be condemn
My heart will bear the blame
Slowly dying due to shame

No matter who helps me bear this pain
My body will continue to strain
My heart bears a knife
Making horrid sounds like a fife

As the world continues day by day
My mind falls into dismay
My heart slowly sinks into a pit
Rejected of being acquit

So now my world goes into a seclude
Doing all I can to collude
From my heart that is slowly dying
As tear streams down my cheek for I am crying

Devastated from fear and pain
Lost in an unknown terrain
For my heart has collapsed and caved in
Now sounding like a broken violin

Now I sit here staring off to space
My mind left Earth leaving no trace
But my heart remains aching
While it is quivering and shaking

Fear and pain slowly wraps around my heart
While knives are thrown at it like a dart
My heart weeps twenty-four seven
With no chance for it to be in Heaven

Tears and loneliness slowly dominate
Grouping up and causing my heart to constipate
Now my heart is torn and wounded
It's soul unable to be lucid

And this is my story
Of a soul who lost all its glory
For his heart is nothing but open scars
Like those burnt out stars

This is the end and not the beginning
The end of a heart that is slowly thinning
Until it flattens and rot like a humus
For he is now nothing but useless

Hopeful Waiting

An adolescent living his life day by day
Who had once gotten into a fray
Tries to find his soul mate
As his life piles up with unwanted hate

He is searching and waiting
While life is using him as baiting
Life have attached him to a hook
For he was mistook as a crook

He  once found the love of his life
And wished for her to become his wife
But she mistreated him like he was a crook
Forcing him to live in a nook

The girl betrayed him and left him all alone
Leaving him on the ground in a prone
Sometimes he curls up and wept
Because the girl's promises were never kept

After a while he pulled himself together and stood up
He slowly live life day by day and bought himself a pup
The pup lasted for a day until he was returned
Which caused his heart to be burned
After that event he went around searching
He searched here and there while lurching
Hoping to find that girl that he love
Like someone who is missing their other glove

Soon enough his love found him
But she left him back into a grim
She wanted to be free
And soon enough she wants to flee

He forgave her for her betrayal
Causing him to be a portrayal
He decides to change for her
Like the kind heart Gir

And now he waits all alone for her
Seems like he was being a chauffeur
While she plays her game and live her life
And now he seems like he was a wife

His soul mate is like the boy playing games
As his hatred boils up in flames
But he remains true to her since he loves her
Because he believes their love will recur
