I Love You

Actions speak louder than words
but my actions have been all over the place
so when you say that you are confused
you seem to have a valid case
I want to express how I feel
but maybe I should just tell you flat out
eliminate all speculation
and erase all doubt
Love is a strong word
people always use it wrong
I am afraid to use it
cause one day you could be gone
 I don't want to hide behind my fear
because you really need to know
with out you in my life
it will always be hollow
I love you
saying it one time doesn't seem enough
I love you 
even when times get rough
I love you
you are my best friend
I love you
no matter what, until the end
I love you
its becoming easier for me to say
I love you
I won't let nothing stand in our way

Better Today

I try to be strong
I try to believe it will be okay
but then it comes along
That one horrible day
It all falls apart
feels like the world is caving in
I'm walking on balloons
and the people below are carrying pins
every step I take
a balloon pops and changes my route
leaving me walking in a circle
it makes you want to scream and shout
but yet I stay silent
channel everything within
to burden others with my stress
for me, that's a cardinal sin
I want to be under the balloons
so they can lift me and carry me away
but I don't want a better tomorrow
I need a better today.

This Is Why I Cheated

This is why I cheated
We never talk; all we do is fight and argue
Things between us are always so heated

You never say you’re wrong
So that means I am never right
Constant battle we go through 
Every day and every night

I want to be done with this
Just wish you would walk away
But you won’t 
And I won’t
So we drag this mess along
At least for another day

With the distance
Between our love getting bigger 
And bigger
Temptation becomes such a powerful
Figure

With the voices of the change and lust
Screaming in my ear
Those moments where you say 
You love me
Are sometimes hard to hear

I don’t know when I will slip
But I know I am due
And when it finally happens
I know it will somehow
Get back to you

I will tell you I never 
Meant to see you hurt
Never meant to see you cry
I know you don’t believe me
All my words sound 
Like a bunch of lies

And for some strange reason
My heart will also hurt
I know I will feel some pain
It doesn’t make sense
Like when you see no clouds
But your body feels the rain

The reason why I am telling you
This is because if you don’t learn 
From history you are doomed 
To be repeated

And I didn’t want you wondering
Why I broke your heart
I didn’t want you wondering why I cheated

Kinda Pissed

Its rough wanting to scream out loud but knowing that wouldn't be wise
so I go through life wearing this disguise
I appear to be calm, letting things roll off my shoulders
while inside I feel deflated, crushed by a thousand boulders
Its hard being on the bottom, people treat you like crap
I'm trying to make my way up, but its so hard to understand this map
You're suppose to be a good person 
something about helping thy neighbor
but no one wants to help you in return unless you promise them a favor
not something simple, more like giving up your soul
people won't help you unless you give them all control
that is something I can't do so I am at the bottom but I won't make it to the top
something has to change, the ways of the current world need to stop
I don't know how long I can last, how long I can remain calm
at some point this disguise is going to crack 
til there is nothing but pieces laying in my palms
I fear that day, people will see a side of me that even I have never met
and this isn't my emotions taking over, I'm not even upset
Just stating how I feel, explaining what I fear
really I am just thinking out loud
so anyone who cares can hear.

Let Me Explain

Let me try to explain this mess 
life is a pain in my ass and it has me stressed
sometimes I want to quit, give cause I can't take no more
probably would if it wasn't for the ones I adore
they care for me
believe in me
some reason they something good in me
so I can't let them down, can't throw that love away
I need to believe like they believe
that I will have my day
But I looked at the sky, no longer blue, its all cloudy and Grey
I am on the pursuit of happiness
but is this the price I have to pay
Every one is struggling, I know its not just me myself and I
but being stuck in this rut has me feeling like life is quickly passing me bye
No girl, no kids, no one to miss me when I'm gone
reason why I write, to leave my thoughts for when I'm done
and my heart is so scarred I fail to see how hit beats 
I use to be excited to come across someone new, now I worry
with every person I meet
Are you going to be the one? The one that brings me down?
I'm not afraid of death. Worse things than being six feet underground
Like being forgotten, or never really loved
I know I'm going to hell. Never was suited to be sent above
But I did my best to make people smile
All I wanted was to see people happy
saying that it sounds stupid, but not in the mood to hide being sappy
So if words are ever spoken for me. Know l loved all who loved me
just wished when I looked in the mirror I could see what you see
But I guess that's a human flaw. Never knowing how good we really can be
But this is just me venting, getting things off my chest
trying to explain, a little, why my life's a mess.

Adulthood

Sometimes being an adult can suck
but you can't go back
once you become one you're stuck
you have to make decisions
you have to learn quickly from your mistakes
there is no slowing down
there is no calling timeout or asking for a break
Once you become one you set for life
and then you start adding more titles
mother, father, husband, and wife
There is nothing wrong with those titles
but all of them carry some kind of stress
and if you keep adding titles
a person can start to feel compressed
I respect those who can navigate through this
and keep their sanity in tact
being an adult is not all that its crack up to be
and I am not a grumpy man venting to the world
I'm just stating a fact

Her Worth

I know a girl who doesn't know what she is worth
I tell her all the time, she is the most precious thing on this earth
but my words go in one ear and right out the other
she tells me I can do better but I have yet to find another
she is a combination of what I want, but more importantly, what I need
to say she is best thing to ever happen to me is something I am willing to concede
but all of this is meaningless if I can not get her to believe
I have all this love to give if only she was willing to receive
I don't know who lied to her so she wouldn't know that she is amazing
But I am bringing the truth, and this, this is her pedestal that I will be raising
I am holding it up high so the whole world can see
that I know she is special and that I believe she is the one meant for me
and if the world doesn't agree, then the world can kiss my ass
just more proof that today's world is way too crass
because if a person doesn't know they are special then its up to us to show them the light
tell them until they understand you, tell them every day and then tell them every night
I promise to keep reminding her until my words finally sink in
and when it finally does I'm going to tell her again

Trade Spots

I have an idea
lets trade places.
time to see a new view of the world
interact with new faces.
I will deal with your struggles 
and you can have mine.
cause I am tired of you telling me lies
telling me everything will be fine.
its time for you to see.
time for you to understand
what its like to be me.
 I need a break
I want to try something new
I hear the grass in greener
but I doubt that its true.
I know you have problems
you just know how to Hide.
won't show them to the world
because you have too much pride.
but now you are are walking in my shoes.
and what you have hidden, 
I will wear on my sleeves.
the truth will be written.
do your best to handle things.
lets see what you can achieve
I will do my best to handle yours,
amd maybe we will finally see and believe
 I will get a better idea of who you are
cause even though I stand before you
I feel as if I stand on earth, and you live among the stars
so for us to trade places
means the truth will lift me up
and hopefully bring you back down
and you will see
that we stand on equal ground
I am not better than you
and you are NOT better than me
trading places is needed
so you can finally see

Monster

I am a monster
look at what I have become
I have lost all feeling
my heart is cold and I am numb
you look at me with fearin your eyes
but this is all because of you
I trusted you with it all
an act I have only done with a few
My heart, my mind, body and soul
given without a second thought
and yet I still thought Ihad it under control
yet one by one you slowly broke me down
I did not want to see the truth
til I was scattered across the ground.
Broken into pieces
I did my best to buildback what you tore apart
now I stand a monster
because a monster has no heart

Cleanse

You have the face of an angel
that is why I believe all those lies
easier to believe my own truth
than have to consider telling you goodbye
you know how to get to me
blur what should be clear
make me think that losing you, us
should be my biggest fear
And I am willing to believe
I think I love you that much
your presence is intoxicating
I get paralyzed by your touch
so I tell myself things
things I should not believe
but we all know the truth
you are at your best when you plot and deceive
you ran your game
I hope you had fun
because my heart may not know it yet
but you and I done
you taught me a lot
to get over you will take some time
been dragged through the dirt
need to wash away the grime
But I will get clean
I will start over new
find someone who loves me
something that is way overdue
