The Heart

I Feel as if i am wasting my time
Chasing a dime. 
But all in time they said

Its hard to tell when you pushed out like the shutters on a window.
Even when the wind blows its a cold shoulder.

You stand by her, Thur thick n thin
Just to find out your never was meant to win.

Its hard to swallow, the truth, the facts
But I guess that's life and that's that.

They said your heart knows what it wants,
The heart knows what it needs,
But sometimes is it worth it for the heart to bleed?

Time and time again Im pleading,
The feelings I have are heaping,
Struggling trying to fight their way out.

Each day i hold them down,
But sooner or later they will erupt like a volcano.

Alot would say I'm insane, most would say I'm foolish.
But you follow your heart no matter where its pullin!!

Soulseeker

He tells her look into my eyes 
Past the color, the features
He asks her to look deeper, 
To be a soul seeker

But what does she see 
That makes her feel weaker
Drops to her knees 
So hurt and beaten
From the saddness she sees
His soul full of pain and sorrow that nobody sees.
His soul scarred and ripped, still he doesn't bleed.

On the surface he hides it, 
He don't want her to worry,
Everyday he stays strong and covers it,
Tells her he loves her
And burys it.

Back to the present, 
She's crying now, 
Feeling his pain asking how?
He sighs 
Tells her not worry. 
Wipes her tears 

Two weeks later her worst fear
The pain and struggle got to real
He's gone now. 

Her eyes blurry
He said not worry, 
The love she had for him was overwhelming, 
This pain clinging.
She looks to him screaming
Her pain, to much 
Now its the ending
Side by side, she joins him 
Set free and painless.

Moral: Always try to talk about your problems, because you never know when it can get to overwhelming for you or someone near you! #SoulSeeker see what's inside it might not always be what's outside! Try to help before its to late.

As I Lay Next To You

As I lay next to you
your beauty, your smile
A smile that could light a 1000 miles

As I lay next you
You beauty, your eyes
Eyes that I fall deeply into

As I lay next to you
I fall more for you 
Stumbling over every word 

Its absurd how much im into you 
Your on my mind constantly
But always remember boo
Ill never get rid of you 

In my mind its critical 
To do right by any means necessary
Never let you down 
Always carry you

As a man I accept the weight 
But its the wait that im afraid of
Afraid to loose something so amazing

As I lay next to you
Hesitant and questioning 
Im I worth the fight, the time, and the effort

 the only thing im sure of
Is my heart will be in it forever
