5 Years In the Making

"5 Years lost in a week, 
Decisions Determine your Fate, 
So if your choice is to leave me, 
Then that’s the choice, you'll have to make, 

I've given you my world,
Disoriented but True, 
Your heart was filled
I desired nothing but you,

So as you run away from home,
Remember my love is not far away
I'll do my best to carry on, 
But, even better if you stay,

My Dreams revolved around the way your eyes moved
My life was planted around you with roots going abroad,
My biggest fear was losing my muse, you, 
And now this Tragedy has taken away my love,


So go as far away as you can,
My words, so sad, so true 
Come back to me when you can comprehend
The words, "I'll always love you" "


No Really, Tell me what you really think. I can take obstructive criticism

I Found Peace

The night was long and restless, 
So I watched the sun come up, 

As I sat, watched, and listened, 
The trees whispered sweet nothing in my ears, 
While the birds played me an undiscovered melody, 

And in this moment of nirvana, 
I realized a key element of my life, 
In this corrupt world of miscommunication and misguidance, 

THERE IS STILL PEACE, 

Not through sex, drugs, or music, 
But through the eyes of a child, 
The warmth of a loved one, 
The look of happiness and excitement on a strangers face, 
And YES the silence in the early morning dew misting the grass, 

As I stared in at the beauty not yet defined by another, 

PEACE, 

And So as I sat watching the trees sway back and forth bringing life into this 
death bound world, 
I sat… 
Listened… 
And Felt something that I thought could only be felt in a dream, 
I felt Peace

A Love Only Dreamt Of

A Love Only Dreamt Of


3,972 Bricks on the west side, 
of the Pirtile technology building, 
I sat, Stared and thought about her 
Beautiful face. And As I counted, 
Reminiscing of that day she looked 
Deeply into my ocean blue eyes and 
Said, I think I love you. A little.. 
I realized a virtue of life 
Love is a paramount quality of life. 
If I died tomorrow I would die 
a happy man. You see for every 
Brick I counted on that wall I thought 
Of a new feature about her I loved 
And It seemed that love was never 
Ending because… 
I Ran out of Bricks. 
3,972 Bricks on that wall, and not 
One is a strand short of perfection 

Call Me "No Life" 
Call Me "Crazy" 
But, I'd Do It Again

I Hurt

Because I know the words are true
I hurt...
Because I can't stand you
I hurt...
Because Im lost in ag0ny
I hurt....
Because I miss who I used to be
I hurt...
Because Ive changed my whole life through
I hurt...
Im like this BECAUSE of You!!
I hurt....
Because I can't make it another day
I HUrt...
Because I can't stand the things you say
I HURt...
Because I know this Relationship Wont Work
I'M HURT...
