The Love She Needs

I can't believe
Just to think
How we bounced 
Like springs
Puts a smile
On my cheeks
No jewel not a thing
Diamond rings 
so unique
Your eyes when
u look at Me
I just fall 
I'm free
When You 
look at me
I can't breath
just Brings me
to my knees
Your my everything
My kingdoms queen
And if it's not obscene
You be the drug
I Fein for the thing
That lingers like 
A needle sting
I just can't stop
You the one who stopped
My ships sinkin
Thinking of you and
Baby you saved me 
From an 
early grave see
And I just don't know
Any other way
To repay the day
You graced me with 
Your face 
we kiss
It was rivers raging
Fires flaming
Yes 
Addiction has staind
Me 
so I know if
I'm not the
Same me
I'm the blame
See 
Of the things
I knew the dangers fro
Never talked to strangers
But now we have 
Been tainted 
Like a disease
So tell me if not
Maybe we'll see
Ultimately
My baby
my wife
My life
the flame 
the light
The igniter 
to strike
Desire
In my soul
My souls fire
the only
Thing that 
makes me higher
I'm inspired 
by a designer
I've grown tired
Of her crying
Tears like creeks
So please 
Let me
be a shoulder
For when 
she's weak
A blanket of love
to hold her
When she sleeps
The tears on her pillow
When she wheeps
Sleepin I'll be the hero 
Her saves her in her dreams 
Let me Kiss her cheeks
When she's lonely 
and needs the company
I'll be a light 
to her path
In the dark streets 
when she's alone 
Make me everything
shell need
If she ever seen
bad things
Give em to me
n fill Her dreams 
with clean 
I'm pleadin 
take away
her demons
Theres 5000 reasons 
why I'm 
Pleading 
She's everything I've 
Wanted seen
or Ever needed
For her Ill bleed  
Pints gallons streams.

Dirt

Look
What is
the matter
With me
I'm not 
Myself 
my brain
Is scattered 
it's splattered
Like a
shattered mirror
Anything
that's ever mattered
Has left
me here
To deal with 
My own fear
I climb
the ladder
Because the
wheel won't steer
Please do
I go slow 
Do I wait
right here
Please tell me
How high 
does this go
I can't hang 
on anymore
I feel myself slipping
Wake up
on the floor
I must be tripping
But 
i'm not sure
I'm alert but 
My concern 
Is dispersed
That I'm sure
Is a lesson learned
In life ya
deal with love 
And ya deal
with hurt
You think twice
About situations that
Might put 
you in dirt
I'm not playin 
Tables turnt
Ya ass 
gets burnt 
Cocaine white as 
Kobane Kurt
Brains won't stay
When a 12 GA
Blow em up
Like fireworks
Drugs and booze
Sex and candy
Pirex and brandy
Are awful handy 
When you 
can't withstand it
Gotta gas up 
and expand it
Cloud 9 can cram it
I'm on a different planet
No I'm not stranded
I'm just not standin 
Medication granted
Sedated feelings roll
Over everything I've known 
See I know  
I've felt alone
I've seen the snow
The grass won't grow
If the weeds take over
Where the flowers go
Showers of hope
The Air smells of roses
The towers doors 
Won't  open
Theve permanently closed em
The wind is blowin
Storms like clothin
Like a scar that bust open
A volcanic eruption
Some days i can't even function
It's the drugs that
Seduct me  
Time spins 
I have no luck see 
What gives
Maybe if I
Drift off then 
I'll be ok 
Do u know 
can anybody
Show me the way
Because the 
darkness is 
Around the way
The lights 
fading away
I'm so tired 
of feeling
This way 
day after day
Wired but 
won't play
Inspired but 
colors grey
Happy goes away
Then it begins to rain
Man 
What happened to me
Where'd I run to
Been spun around
So much 
Like a gun that's
Trigger is stuck 
What the
 is up
In my world 
The sky is down 
the ground
is up
Sounds profound
But it 
astounds me like
I'm struck... 
By a bolt
Of lightning
Something 
so frighting
Can be
so inspiring
Snow can't be firey
So 6 ft below 
Can't be a diary

Addiction

Someone please
answer me 
I'm gonna scream
I was weak 
but Why'd 
I hide Beneath
The streaks n stains
for weeks and days
Feel so week
For these things
I feel i
Reak of shame
So now These
streams of pain
Leak down
my face
every day
I day dream
of bein sane
So My Thoughts 
See they lift away
Yea they Slip away lost
So I'm gone
I Drift away
things cost
In life
Im Siftn right 
because the
wrongs lost
As This
Addiction clings
And These
drugs they boss
My Life sings
As death calls
Now all these
Right things
They feel wrong
 Life strings on
But at what cost
I'm Strictly loss
I'm at a toss
Addiction 
 makes u soft
Keeps you lost
Make u scared
Itll bring 
chills to air
to your hair
Those
Pills and  snares
 Like  traps
Thier there
 Times impaired
 you collapsed
And Youd dare
Try n lash 
Addiction
hard facts
It will
Make u snap
Drive u back 
to the past  
A Backwards lap
Thats Packed 
with facts
Stacked with caps
 You just crack
So the 
The Points
And 
Plastic tubes
That Joint 
And the booze
Are your 
Points to lose 
Your Joints 
arent glued 
Your choices 
didn't choose u
So you
come unscrewed
 to conclude
Addiction 
is hard but the  
truth it's you 
to blame
For your habit
Yes
Your to shame
Addicted 
never to be
the same
Just lifted don't
refrain
things need strained
So as you put a drain
on a vein
To obtain
the sting 
That sings
 That clings 
Someone
Don't ya see
The way itll
Make you Fein
you feel  unclean 
takes away your hopes 
Takes away your dreams 
Is it to late for me
to cease 
Or is this disease
 fate for me
Or 
am I 
Hooked like
Bait for open seas
I've painted 
My own tainted
scene 
For you all
to see
Addiction
stay away 
from me
The time
and streaks
Ive Pushed it 
up the stream
Addicted to addiction
On my knees
the faker of the sea.
Maker of all feins
Hater of all things
Addicted
Don't ya see
As predicted
with addiction we
Just Wanna 
break free 
Non the least
So keep 
the beast 
Keep 
your own demons
In your sleep 
when your dreaming
Silent the screams
there misleading
Speak up 
for peace 
addiction
Is now leaving.

Beauty

I love you 
 best bet
Ive been a mess
from the stress 
I aint trying to fight
I just wanna kiss 
I just wanna
hold u tight
I just want 
Us to be alright
Everything to be fine
Girl your outta site 
But i can't 
Get u out my mind
Thoughts got me weak
Dear beauty 
Why do u 
Only visit in
My dreams
Yes as i sleep
Why do u make 
Me fein for unclean
Things that creep
When im resting
Counting sheep 
Its the only thing
That brings streams
Down my seams 
Like a leak 
Down my cheeks
I wheep
And I scream 
These streams
Of feinded dreams
I mean 
Nothing else is true
But my love for u
here for real
You the only drug 
I feel 
Drove me crazy 
But its forreal
You amaze me
Feel like i been blazin
Purple haze n for
The rest of my days
Ill be blazed 
Not changed 
So amazed
The way your face
Lights up the room
When you walk into
Any place
Man outer space
Couldn't hold your grace
The shine of your soul
Resonates
Your as beautiful as heavens
Gates and angel I'll
Chase till I'm in my 
Grave 
I'm just so amazed
You've blessed my days
Please never leave
Just stay
Make the things
That have stained 
My brain 
and felt my heart
Full of pain 
I try to refrain
But you're stuck
Like a needle
In my veins
