Its time to go
Now its done
It was good
We had our fun
Its finished
So its time to fly
Don't look back now
Don't say good-bye
It was my choice
And I made it for me
To leave you
Now we are free
It hasn't been too long
since you've been gone
So ill take it slow
Dusk to dawn
It hurts
Your not the only one
Because I did this
I settled like the sun
It got too far
And I let it
Its my fault too
So don't forget it
Don't cry
Unless you have to
Just tell me girl
'Cause ill cry with you
I never lied
I stayed honest
You'll always have me
I promise

AM
Only seventeen && I've been
through hell
Like the time I met Kenny who got
caught stealing from taco bell
Or Rashad who talked a lot &&
nearly drove me insane
Tim, Tom, Thomas couldn't even
remember my damn name
Shawn was way down for peace
Charles was to possessive to kept
&& Devin only cared about weed
Troy had no heart and all game
Donald's crazy self thought I'll take
him back like he changed -__-
Bobbys hobby was pure sex
&& the only time I seen Carter is
when I had a check
Any regrets??
No, just another thing crossed off on
my list of "what I look for best"
I could, but it wouldn't really be the same
Boy meets girl
Salt, pepper
Green eggs, ham
All the imperfect complimentary, and no 'Ta Da'
Not a surprise
All of the time in the world to spend and no leg to stand on
Every time she says so, it's like it doesn't
Decisions
My time is valid, I am certain of it
All about it
Do I convince the finest, the weakest?
Do I convince myself?
All in a days work, and the gain of it was worth the pain of it
No pain, no strain, no gain and adequecy.
Last time makes me matter of fact, and suprisingly enough,
This is it now

Is she the one?
Again I ask myself, “Is she the one?”.
She’s the only one I used to love.
It’s More than kids that like to flirt.
We would hike, ride bikes,
share dessert,
even go to church.
I comfortably would share my hurts ,
As always, we dispersed.
Was it not time yet?
Or,
was this relationship destined to be cursed?
Once again she’s resurfaced.
I’ve been through this time and time again with her.
Should I go through with this.
Is there any purpose?
I ask myself,” Is she the one?”
My mood has shifted.
My spirits have been lifted.
This lady is so gifted.
Never acts shady.
Always acts like a lady.
Never betrayed.
Why can’t she sway me?
It makes me crazy.
It looks like he’s sent her,
again,
to save me...
I know she’s not lazy.
So what, if she get’s drunk and acts crazy.
Ha.
Not this fine lady.
Well.
Sometimes..
Maybe...
Either way,
There’s no stopping this now.
Riding on this cloud,
I’m reaching for the stars.
In god’s time well see how far.
Is she the one?
Needs
~~~~~~
On the outside looking in wanting to be more than just a friend
Still it seems that the one I love has chosen to take a dead end
Bound and yet stifled by the screams and pain of the past
What I want is more of a need it’s a love that's of truth and will last
Down a road of deceit and facade for an agenda of greed no surprise
Confrontation is a waste of time as she continues to spew forth her lies
I already know this is not what I need as the curtain on the act descends
Since I’ve aired her dirty laundry and confronted her with her sin
What she needs is to stop and think sometimes and gain perspective
And I on the other hand need to let her go stop being misdirected
The time is now to make my way towards a brighter better tomorrow
Stop living this lie of what’s good in her heart and reaping only sorrow
It’s like learning to walk one step at a time let the healing start to begin
Needs are intrinsic for us all and sadly enough I need to tell you the end.
“Slay me a dragon,” a maiden requested
“ I will, I will!” he said.
And he did, and the maiden was
Appropriately appreciative.
And time went by….
This time the maiden asked for
diamonds and pearls.
He thought for a moment,
remembering her charms.
“ I will find you a treasure”
he said..and he did.
But the maiden was tired and only
had time for a quick kiss
And thank you…
And more time went by….
No longer a maiden, her luster fading
.she begged him to “ take out the trash”.
He did, grudgingly, asking for his just
reward.”please, dragon steak for dinner”
and she obediently complied.
And time went by….
One day he found himself under the apple tree,
kissing the baker’s beautiful daughter.
“Slay me a dragon,” she asked… “ I will, I will,” he said.
And so it goes…
