It was dark,
We were six,
The air was filled with the heavy smell of cigarettes and weed,
Some drank, 'I' did too.
You were dancing to the rhythms of jazz.
And you were gazing at the stars.
While you stared into your phone screen.
She and him talked.
And you... You were silent.
Maybe thinking
"What was the conversation?"
"What was that noise?"
"What transpired?"
And then she spoke words devoid of meanings,
Words that were abused till it bled,
Words that were round,
Words that were opaque,
Words that actually never left her mouth.
The smiling faces soon disappeared,
Confused and gloomed,
They left.
But he stayed.
What did 'I' feel?
Like,
The slithers of snake,
Shaking of the earth,
Torrent of rain,
Choked.
And then 'I' forgot.
Till today.

Most only Seek there higher powers
In there final hours
Or servin a sentance, when things are out there
Hands, man gods always in high demand
For those with nothing to give, and everything to ask for
I believe its possible that there is a god,
But weather there is or isnt he will not be relyed upon
Not by me, because i can only rely on me,
I can't wait for him to step in, on some divine intervention
In my time of need,
I would never trust a stranger with my home
Shoot I wouldnt trust a stranger with my phone
So, how am i supposed to go...
& trust a stranger with my soul

My memory is like an ill-tempered old car
that refuses to start
on cold, miserable mornings...
or sometimes stutters
and shudders to life
in fits and starts with rattling parts
Names and faces of those behind me
shrouded and clouded in thick exhaust fumes
'til memory resumes and smoke starts to clear
...oh, what was the year?
Then suddenly (without warning)
the engine revs high, and I start to fly
downhill fast, into the past
brakes not responding, gripping the wheel
too much to feel
that terrible fear- stuck in high gear...
Old trauma impacts like a car crash
re-living events that
don't always make sense
deadly debris and jumbled bits of trash
litter my head, feeling half-dead
confused, in a mild state of shock
Although a car is a useful thing-
sometimes it's safer to walk!

Disorderliness,
You counted on me for years,
Undependable.

Why can't you tell the truth?
Why are you not reliable?
Why will you tell me 'today'
And today you'll say 'tomorrow'?
Why can't anyone trust you?
Why is your yes not yes
And your no not no?
You disappoint people as a way of life
And it's okay by you
You don't care about people
Or at least about your name
You've foiled me twice, thrice
And I can't count anymore
You're unbelievable
Unreliable
Undependable
And never to be trusted
'Wish you could see what you are doing to you
How I won't commend you to people I knew
How I'll discourage them working with you
But too bad you are too blind to see

He was unreliable in many more ways then just the one,
Stretched his black wings and left his family for fun,
Now his life is complete as he sits at a computer screen,
Leading others from God with *********** that is obscene.
Latching on to the innocent and those who are pure,
Hand in hand with satan to coax and then to lure,
Nothing worthy beats in his black little heart,
Throwing horrible contests to rip the sad apart.
