I'll leave before the day I know you'll let me go
Because , you see, you have no idea how good I'm not for you
You put me on this pedestal where I know I don't belong
And yet, though I'm standing right in front of you, you can't seem to see how many pieces I'm broken into
Now sure, I may smile in your presence, laugh as if the world and everyone in it is like a dream come true
But that fact of the matter is, I haven't been happy in such a long time
And you may think that the reason I left was because something must have been wrong with you, but no, it's the other way around
How can I stay and have you fall in love with my false presentation
How can continue to allow you to put me up so high where I know eventually I will not meet your expectations
So, as I said before, I'll leave before the day you let me go
Leave so you will have this lasting impression of who you thought I was before I ruin it with who I truly am
I need you to remember me as someone I'll never be
Because if you found out who I really was, I would have never felt a love like what you've shown me.

***********The Devil is Hipe'*********
------
I have said it before
And I will say it a again'
When it come's to Death
And Destruction
The Devil is alway's lending
A helping hand..
------
He sleeps' with the Heart
Of thy enemie....
He stir's the pot
He carries' their thoughts
-Fore-
He has a Handy
Forget Me not
------
He can rip right threw
A family....
With-out even giving it
A second thought..
----
These are thing's that We
Should really share..
But, the fact of the matter is
That You never even knew
He was there..
----
Fore He is every where
Since the begining of time
If you search for the Truth
Then He is harder to find..
-----
Their is such Evil
At His command
But, don't forget Jesus
He always' foil the plan
With just one simple
AMEN
And to this I say
AMEN

I could ask you to stay,
But there's really nothing to say,
I guess we naturally grew apart,
But it still hurts in my heart.
I tried getting you to notice
that I was still there,
But you made up your mind
And didn't care.
No one told me about this pain,
Tears have fallen from my eyes like a rain,
I'm at the point where I feel nothing but shame,
With you is what all I wanted to remain.
You never told me that you loved me
Nor did you say you don't,
Holding onto you was a sin
And now I'm being atoned.
I'm tired of living,
Yet so scared of dying,
May be things are good for you,
But look at all that I've been through.
I kept questioning like why didn't I leave yesterday?
Why did I let things that way?
How are things going to be?
Since there's no more you and me?
N now you've left without a goodbye,
I've got no energy to even cry,
No matter whatever it may be,
One thing will always remain true,
The fact of the matter is that
I'm still into you... I'm still into you!!
the fact of the matter-
just a P.C. euphemism for opinionated chatter
One's suspension of belief does not make the fact of the matter change.

The colorful times of cool warm autumn
Warm autumn breeze blown
Trees bark chap like lips burn
Mothers snuggle up with newborns
Green grass brown no longer shown
Ants scatter bees sucking blooms
Everything’s dying no spring zone
Fact of the matter is stone
Promises of squirrels planting nuts loan
Hearing chitter shatter rattles of groans
Warm autumn breeze blown
Trees bark chap like lips burn
Turning whirling whisk of cyclones
Boarder line tornadic paths unknown
Warm autumn breeze blown
Hummingbird trombone based beak
Tamable radiant sugar nectar sweets
Autumn fall trees multicolor leaves
Leaves orange, yellows, brown red
Notable tones overgrown alone bled
Warm autumn breeze blown
Trees bark chap like lips burn
Turning whirling whisk of cyclones
Boarder line tornadic paths unknown
The colorful times of cool warm autumn

No one tells me anything
For fear I think
Of my brittle nature to the
cold heart truth being exposed
As obviously better than I
they know me
And what fickle nature consumes
my soft underbelly and wafer thin skin
How I take every little setback to heart
And that I simply can not rest knowing
someone i love
May rest just as uneasy as I now do
knowing what we both know
And no amount of pretending the
problem does not exist
Will make the problem or this
sinking feeling subside or go away
Maybe that's why no one chooses
to tell me anything at all
Because although I may wish I can
not solve other people's problems
Fact of the matter is in reality
I can barely solve my own
And will probably only end up making
the problem ten times worse anyway
And besides that i am supposed to
be the fun one
Uncle Just Play Court Jester
Who tells cheesy stupid childish
jokes in order to make light
of just incase any dire grave situation
should occur
For the fact of the matter
The matter is fact
A substance that
Handle and hold
Often stories told
For the fact of the matter is fact

For the fact of the matter you matter as you feel
As you feel your spirit soul with mana
The breathing the kiss of God yes you matter
Prosperity's probabilities you gather
Utmost probabilities just like soap you lather
For this fact of the matter as you feel you matter

Rumor has It you know
Fact of the matter is you know
You know what is
It is what's known
What is it

Maybe every god is real
Story a necessity
However it began
It was all about the end
If you don't believe me
Fact of the matter is
A bag of matter wrote this
***
the fact of the matter
is the new year is stronger
a perfect vision of victory
fewer obstacles
fewer tears
and increase in harmony
the specifics of my journey
are always the same
life, good health,
and a steady flow
o creativity is what I
claim
true love for self will
continue to be my
gain
Absolute Zero - The fact of the matter, it's all about nothing.
Rosemary's body shrinks
And looks strange, her facial expression
Changes, village doctor checks her ventrally
And declares she is a non-human.
The fact of the matter is that
She is pregnant with six-month old
Living fetus.
And the villagers expect a demon-snake
Would come out of her body
Proclaiming death.
So, they kill her as per rituals
prescribed for the occasion.
And amnesty for them is granted
By the King
For he knows the truth.
where left becomes right and right is wrong and confusion is the vice that keeps her running into the disappointment, it’s yet another man’s arms, because he told her she couldn’t breathe without him when the fact of the matter is without her he cannot win
he can’t embrace his future, he can’t wake to a dream, he was wandering a mist the madness, there is no king without a queen, she solidified his purpose, gave meaning to his plan, listened to his desires, so he would understand that he was not alone and never had to be, equal but unequal, This knowledge will set us free
but not today, there is a struggle going on, purpose is not learned and woman tolerate what is wrong, so can we return to our purpose, can that be the plan, can we be responsible and until we find that worthy one who will move within GOD’s plan
