3am Thoughts

I want to start over
With each a clean slate, 
Without bringing up the past 
Or rehashing mistakes.

I want to get back to “us”
And push the “reset”
I have already forgiven 
Now I want to forget 

We spend our time fighting 
Just assigning the blame
Nothing gets resolved 
So our fights are all the same

Can you imagine going back
To where it all began
When we didn’t need to lie 
Because we were just friends?

Just Friends

I told you from the beginning, 
this is all it will ever be,
You told yourself that I was wrong, 
you knew best for me
I tell you we are only friends, 
I remind you all the time
Even though I pull you close
and kiss you like you’re mine
Perhaps that’s why you tell yourself 
that I will change my mind
You analyze the things I do, 
always looking for a “sign”

So I was telling you one thing, 
while you told yourself another…
I told you we are just friends, 
who happen to be lovers.
You told yourself it meant more
and I’d change if you kept trying,
I can understand why you feel lied to
but which one of us was lying?

Untitled

I wanted you to move on, 
but all you have done is run away 
Put them off til later, 
They are just things for another day
How come on your list 
they are always on the bottom?
They should be number one,
instead of just forgotten.
Where are your values? 
Or do you just not care?
I guess they are learning early 
that life’s not always fair.
When you are dividing your time, 
how is it that you choose,
What is most important? 
How do your kids always loose?
“Father” is a verb, 
you cannot be one standing still.
You have to make an effort 
if it is ever going to heal.
So, its time to figure out 
exactly how you feel.
I’m really not trying to point out
all of your imperfections 
I’m just trying to do what is right 
because it’s my job to protect them.

Chaos

My demons are working overtime 
To screw my whole world up
When the enemy is your own mind
It’s so much harder to overcome 

They whisper when I’m sleeping 
And sing when I’m awake
I know you see me sinking 
With every bad choice that I make
