Voids Need To Be Filled

Sitting alone like the rest of my life,
In my eyes I see it, no family, no wife.
Love is on my mind, companionship in my heart
People all around me are happy, my life torn apart.
Depressed, Disrespected, Dis-owned, whatever you call it,
There is a void in my heart, just like an empty wallet.
Meaningless things with no substance at all, might fill it temporarily, but not for the
long haul.
Remember this that cash spends quickly.  Then you are stuck with nothing at all.
Love is what I'm looking for and that might scare some away.  But the ones that stay by my
side are the real winners today.  I'm not the best catch ever, I have my faults and
problems, but no one is perfect there is always a puzzle to solve us.
I'm respectable, lovable and would never cheat, but I'm also a nice guy, so that means
women will use their feet.
To step on my heart and leave it to where it cannot be fixed, But in the end an asshole
leaves them even more Vexed.  Men and Women are so much alike, neither knows what the
other is thinking.  All we can do is go with out gut feeling.  But so many times our gut
feeling has been wrong.  We pick up the shattered pieces, continuing to where we belong. 
On our different paths, we might cross at sometime, It is in these moments we share, That
everything seems fine.
Your hand in mine, your head on my shoulder, not thinking about anything our love is a
boulder, Not moved alone It is sturdy as hell, I'm so glad we are to this point im no
longer empty as well.  I need this Void filled and I believe you are the one to do that.
Don't run away at the first true sign of Difficulty. Stand Strong, Be Firm, and Stay with
me as I will do with you.

Random Thoughts: Part 2

Random Thoughts: Part 2
Sitting here with Random Thoughts on the Mind,
Not a care in the World, I'm leaving them behind;
Things started to unravel, doesn't matter anymore,
I shut myself off from it all, and slammed the door;
This isn't about anyone, not perticularly at all,
It's me sharing feeling's, trying to break down my wall;
So many people have hurt me in my present and the Past,
That no matter how hard I try its like an unbeatable task;
To break down this wall and let new people come in,
Then someone comes along and it seems like I win;
Only to be denied happiness, like life's a crule joke,
In the end its always me dying because my heart is broke;
I kick and I swing, always trying to fight;
For what I believe in, I want A "Good" Life;
No matter where I go it happens the same,
Again and again like I'm some kinda lame;
Shouldn't Trust Noone, that's not the life That I live,
I Want to find someone, my whole heart to give;
It's out there, out there for the taking,
Maybe that's why my heart keeps on breaking;
Maybe I should hide it away, like I have for most of my years,
That would solve everything, that would Quick-Dry the Tears;
This isn't something I'm selling, or anything I bought,
This is Just Part 2, Of My Random Thoughts

Random Thoughts Part 1

In a new place, I'd like to call home.
Meeting lots of people, but still feel alone.
Everyday is a struggle, don't know what to do.
I live for the moment, that moment is you.
I hate not being with you, I feel you are my prize.
Sent down from the heavens, I'm feeling alive.
The problem with this, is I hate what I'm feeling.
My walls are enclosing, from the floor to the Ceiling.
My mind is screwed, I can't explain why.
I know I can't have you, that kills me inside.
I love everything about you, and it's making me crazy.
I can't call you my girl, my one true love, my baby.
People ask me about this and about that.
Don't know how to respond, I'm about to crack.
They ask me things, but I just change the station.
I go to my friends, they're my rock, my foundation.
I don't have a family, and I'm not asking for one.
My friends are MY FAMILY, ever since day one.
These are my thoughts, With no one else's help.
I'm putting them all in a cabinet, on the top shelf.

Random Thoughts Part 4

I hate feeling all of this Pain,
I have tried so hard, but its all in Vain.
My heart was yours and you threw it away
it still beats for you, but its trash, like garbage day.
I wander around in my mind at night
to catch a simple glimpse of you then I feel alright
until I realized how wrong I was done
how stupid was I to think you were the One
still to this day you are always on my mind,
what is she doing, how are her kids, hopefully they're all fine.
I can never forget the times that we have shared
In those few moments I thought you really cared.
You said that you did that I meant something to You,
I started to believe that what you said was True.
I know better now, back then I was a Fool,
If u really cared you would have said I Love you too.
You couldn't even talk to me like you said you could
You didn't trust in me, when you really should
I'm not over it, even though I try to be,
What you have done, really did a number on Me.
Some people will laugh some people will Cry
But the only thing I have ever done was Try.
To be there for you, through thick and thin
Hoping that it would be you and I in the End.
So far it looks like that will never Be,
So I guess in the end, its always gonna be ME
This isn't a game, Not one I can win.
Its me releasing Random Thoughts from deep Within.

Random Thoughts Part 5

Moving on, families started;
We are here to remember the dearly departed.
Not from this earth, but more from our lives.  
For better or worse, we're still gonna survive.
Remembering the good and the bad, 
Cherishing the different memories that we've had.
Not the end of the road,  but merely a detour; 
Our roads aren't mapped out but our paths will cross once more.
Forever Alone with the memories of our past;
We will come to find happiness one-day at last.
You will go your way and I will go mine;
Cherishing our friendship until the end of time.
Our lives on this planet are not meant to last; find your happiness and get to it fast.
Darkness is not meant to be a part of your heart
Even when those you love are miles apart. 
My writings are never about anyone, not singularly at least; but more of a collection from those that bring me peace. 
Without all of you, I would cease to exist; 
Way too many to name, too many to list.
All of you have given me a new way to look;
At the world in my palm, like it's some kind of book.

I thank you all for everything we have been through.  Know this isn't the end of the road for any of us and that we'll always have our memories and friendship.  

I LOVE YOU ALL.

Random Thoughts Part 3

Welcome everyone to Part 3 on my list;
Again with some Random Thoughts if you catch my drift.
Starting anew with so much things going wrong;
I know my life sucked but I had to be strong.
In a better place, not close to what i thought it could be;
Doing my best to hide how i feel, me doing me.
So many times have people ed me over in life;
It took some time to forgive them, to let go of the strife.
I have a million things running through my head ;
Like everyone else I should be laying in bed.
Not mad at anyone, I can say I'm content;
With where my lifes heading its like flipping a cent.
Heads or tails, what will it be
Unlucky or Lucky, doesn't matter to me.
People of the past finding success in what they love,
Makes me strive harder to fly like a dove.
Like beautiful poetry high in the sky;
Flapping it's wings, feeling so alive.
I'm going to be something, thats how it's going to be;
Until then though it's going to be me being me.
Alot of you know me and know what I'm about;
Alot of you know my past, but can't figure it out.
I have ed up in my life and have burned many bridges;
If you haven't accepted my apologies, then  off es!
I'm not doing this for closure, not even a lil bit;
If I have wronged you, know that I feel like .
Things have opened my eyes to the ways of my past;
Showing me that I was a BIG GIANT ASS.
Drugs ruined my Life, Many were there to see it happen;
Memories would be made, None will be forgotten.
I write a lot of things down, now, that I never did before;
I guess I should leave them for My Random Thoughts: Part 4
