The Sun is pretty–Yes ,we know,
It makes the sky and flowers glow.
But look too long, and you will find,
It's beauty scars. It's strikes you blind.
We're taught to chase what shines the most,
To the love ones who shine like ghosts.
But not all gold is made to keep ,
some glitters loud and cuts too deep.
Not every smile is safe or true,
Not every life is meant for you.
some lovely things will draw you near,
Then leave you burned, alone with fear.
So, next time beauty pulls you in,
Remember this beneath your skin:
Even the Sun, is all its grace,
can leave a mark, you can't erase
A pain I have
Yes I do
A pain I have just for you
A pain thats like no other
Causing you to shudder
A pain I have
Yes I do
A pain I have caused by you
Just lie to me.
I’ve revealed everything to you
So take advantage of me.
I’m too vulnerable right now.
Use me for your pleasure,
Take my money for your needs.
Treat me like some type of accessories
Trust me, I can take the abuse.
All I want in return is a lie,
That I can fall for easily.
Just like how I fell for you,
Especially when we first met.
Baby make sure I don’t get doubts.
Manipulate me down to my core.
Gaslight me into thinking I’m the problem.
I don’t want to be hurt no more.
If there’s someone else besides me.
Hide him away, I don’t need to know.
I want you back at night in my arms.
Please don’t leave me like this.
I’ll take the blue pill
Before losing you.
I dreamt of her last night,
It was so real I could taste the salt on her lips,
and the vengeance on her tongue
So sweet and so violent.
I believed she loved me
but only for a moment,
She was so tender
seemingly veracious.
Till I lifted her black veil
and saw the lies behind
her sparkling amber eyes.
That almost gets me every time.
I look at you
With a blank stare.
Thoughts all over da place
Cant concentrate.
I cant believe
Things have gotten
this
far and how.
But my feelings
Are scattered in
The air.
I try to figure out
What we did
But blanks is
All my mind gives.
Before things get worse
And they cant change.
I bow my head and
hope an pray,
For some better ways
To communicate...
something gotta give
Before the love fades,
An thing dont change...
Add we go are separate
ways
You never knew how to love me well,
Sometimes when you kissed, you cut,
Sometimes when you touched, I bled,
Sometimes when you left, you robbed me.
Many reasons left unsaid
For why I journey beyond your head
And why a space is left maintained
For when you say "let's meet again"
Reasons for a shedded tear
But never what you think you fear
The outside world they say "be warned!"
When inner demons are so near
Mental bruises deteriorates
Sanity at a rapid pace
And when it's gone we only have
A bond you swore would never break
Reasons why you're seen this bold
In dreams that just can't be retold
Is for a better want of word
A sheltered love to be unfold
And if you go you'll come back home
For you are mine and I am yours
I was so young when you looked at me
a Boy who did not see you as a she
your look was deep your look was warm
I felt so good I felt no harm..
But suddenly a Spark ignite
I saw your skin and smile so white
your hair your hands your smell so sweet
a urging pain crawlet up my feet
I sucked your beauty needed more
Im hooked for you the more and more
and then I saw your flashing breasts
I nearly fainted what comes next
and then you disapeared so fast
I laid in bed my breath with gasp
So I became a man so fast
The fear you will not ever last.
( MY PAINFUL LOVE )
Why does it have to hurt inside,
why do I have to cry each night.
I think I have to walk on by,
cuz I'm starting to lose my sight.
What is it that changed your mind,
who is it that keeps you blind.
Why did you change so fast,
did you really have to leave me behind.
I start to think about all we had,
and how it turned this way.
I guess I'll have to leave your side,
and turn my face away.
Although my soul will die,
although my heart will cry.
I've got nothing else to do,
I'm hurt deep inside.
But although I'll leave your side,
you'll be always on my mind.
My heart and soul will ache for you,
every day and every night.
You're my never-ending love,
the love that keeps me alive.
You're the one I'll love forever,
although it hurts inside.
Why does it have to hurt inside?
Why do I have to cry each night?
I think I have to walk on by...
Cuz I'm starting to lose my sight...
What is it that changed your mind?
Who is it that keeps you blind? Why did you
change so fast?
Did you really have to leave me behind?
I start to think about all we had
And how it turned this way...
I guess I'll have to leave your side,
And turn my face away... Although my soul will
die...
Although my heart will cry...
I've got nothing else to do,
I'm hurt deep inside
But although I'll leave your side,
You'll be always on my mind... My heart and soul
will ache for you,
Every day and every night...
You're my never-ending love,
The love that keeps me alive...
You're the one I'll love forever,
Although it hurts inside...
My feelings are so strong
Yet I've always done something wrong
I've fallen in love once again
Yet forbidden from ever touching her skin
There's no longer a point in moving on
The lyrics will change but it'll still be the same song
Another one sided mirror of emotions
And no way to put love in motion
I believe there's other fish in the sea
Great and beautiful mermaids of the deep
Yet, my rod must be broken
So many years and yet to reel one in
Love for me is a virus and i have no immunity
It has me sitting and hoping for opportunities
The chance to be that perfect one
And until then i sit here, fishing under a burning sun
An open grave of a lover
To be killed is better then to suffer
And say things unknown
For my worst fear is to be alone
The nights are numb and tired
For they are not admired
The words you spoke cease a pain
So sharp my life is to be slain
I would have traveled far for what's mine
Take your unfair times fine
As long as you keep me and not
Please don't let it rot
Take back the sad goodbye
Oh how time please, just fly
For me to return to loves embrace
And be mesmerised at the beauty of your face
Make our bodies one
And say our love has won
Oh ! How much I would not give
To have one speck of hope to live
Deliver me God I beg
For here on this earth is a drag
But your will be done
And the song has been sung
This is not the last
It is just life who it self is fast.
What made me write these words,
is it our bike rides or late night talks?
Are we missing all the fun and joys,
just becoz we both made flaws?
What is the meaning of our love,
if nothing is in our hands now?
Where are the beauitful days gone,
when we both spent the time on?
What if my heart beat stops,
and if you hear people cries?
Will you then make up your mind,
and open your eyes without being blind?
I wish i see a change soon in your brain,
without any pain,my love gets refrain.
PAINFUL LOVE AFFAIR
I love you, my love
I don't know why?
You are working hard,
I love you from nine to five
Soon will clock out
Going to our separate ways
To a life, I was forced at hand
Thanks for the attention,
My husband does not give.
Simple kisses with full affection
A love affair
No more teasing, no more flirting
Sneaking and releasing our lust and tension
Accidently caring.
We see everyone just staring.
Two lives now were torn
I love the things we talk about
Until that one day,
Which is now,
I have to say goodbye
Writing you a last love letter
Explaining the reason why?
No one can make this better
All I can do about this is cry
You said your wife was in doubt
My husband after soon found out
At that moment, I felt the need to die
In my face, he did more than shout.
Now I sit ---
Far away where I can't say hi
It's your baby, with no doubt.
The one thing my husband wants to deny
This love affair I can never talk about
Dead and gone

I guess you never felt the way I did
you just kept things away from me hid.
But now i see you didn't love me so
I don't know what happened but time did show.
But now I believe things do change
you said you loved me, ain't this strange.
You lied, you cheated,n you left me lost,
you ditched me, you hurt me, hold on let's pause.
You told me you would never do any of those things
but now i see "HURT" is what you had to bring.
I thought you loved me like you said
but i guess "HATE" is what you meant instead.
I never thought this would be
you being gone away from me.
The pain you caused just made me cry
i felt like i wanted to die inside.
You hurt me bad, you broke my heart
you was the one that tore us apart.
I got to move on and suffer the pain
I just got to accept this new change.
So this is the end of all my pain
you is the one that should feel ashamed.
