Lonesome Love

I remember a time 
now a distant memory
but you were once mine
it started sweet 
but went sour like lime
we first met
I witnessed a crime 
you stole my heart
oh what a time

life had moved forward
so did our decisions
some good some bad
but with one 
I was especially glad
you were all that I ever wanted
all I needed to have 

one month 
till you share my last name
I may not be next to you 
but my feelings have not changed
I just wished yours hadn't
you spoke words of great sadness
distance had taken its toll
I couldn't be there when you needed me most

you found someone else to hold you close
I wasn't the one anymore
you both watched as my heart slowly shattered and broke.
my emotions were your toys
jealousy took over while you had your fun
I was manipulated by love
now you say you need a real man huh

months passed 
and here you crawl
back to me
you say you love and always thought about me
but that was bullshit that even I could see
you used me
you lied to me 
you tarnished my ideal of love
you now realized you messed up
these lies  I am  above 
so I'll spread my wings and fly
like a lonesome dove

Truth To Love

the heart
a beautifully tragic concept
its where most decisions are made 
and all emotions are kept
its the part of us that is strongest
yet the most fragile
it takes a million actions to beat 
but to break it
only takes a single lie
some can break and remain to stay kind
while others build walls and hide 
some will live and thrive 
while others suffer and cry
it never takes much to feel dead inside 
yet requires so much to just be alright
it takes a lifetime to heal
but a single moment to be broken
love is not temperamental
only unconditional
if its true 
its a perpetual feeling of comfort and bliss
and can sometimes be discovered through a single kiss
it comes to all
whether you're short or tall
insecure or broken  
big or small
so don't try to find it
make mistakes  
make your self and break yourself
because you don't find love 
love finds you 
please trust me 
every word of this is true 
if love can find me 
love can find you.

Realizations

he lay next to her in peace
keeping him warm 
a blanket made of fleece
she was all he ever wanted 
all he'd need
till the day she said the words
that made his heart bleed
he begged and pleaded
please don't leave
she said he was the part of her 
that she did not need

he thought these wounds 
would heal in time
they say it was his fault 
for love made him blind
he began to realize
that he ignored all the signs
a rush emotion fills him
he couldn't help but cry
abandoned by love 
he was living a lie

he had seen the truth 
after months had past
even after devastation 
his heart would last
he wasn't worried in the least
because now he sees 
she was an angel craving chaos 
and he was a demon seeking peace
