Unloveable

Hidden in weeds
heart vavle on squeezed.
Watch me not bleed.
Even if it cuts deep 

Keeps you away from 
My bule boredom  face
Made you see unloveable me.
 On a big screen .
Waiting for your glance at me.
Human floating 
Spirt weak 
night terror screams.
Dark heart beating weak.
With a single glance
 Staring  right though my core
 reflection hides and retreats .
Shadows knows you will be bored
Once you uncover all my stains
Not fooling me 
 I won't succeed .

 odds that were against 
Unloveable me.
No way you will  feel the same 
once you finally see .
When you leave my hand
Alone
While you are own  your course 
I 'll be cast in a forgotten land .

Unloveable me
 drifting slowly away
Into space ,
Saying no more
You had the key
You were to save me.
I'll never be loveable
Without you baby
Unloveable me always.
UNLOVEABLE ME

Love , Lava, Rain

My crushing veins.
Its tapping into my tame heart .
And you're to blame .
 
Strange I'm falling apart
As you open up a wound as
 your nails clawing  in
Whipping away at my at  skin.
  I'm sewn up 
  So you could   
pull it out again .
In sight of you 
Pain never ends
  It's your name etched
 in my skin.
Love lava rain 
every drops burns on me.
Melting everything away.
        Love lava rain

     Saw  your crude reflection 
I never seen 
  drop burns in me. 
As you say my name.
Flesh tightening up.
Regretting
 giving you the key 

  Rough terrain
You spoil the peace
 Of my map of anxiety.
Boiling point 
Capacity 
fondling the heat 
that comes off of me.
Sheets are burning  once between you and me .
Pictures of us nude.
On the front page of my brain.
Cant delete my internal drive .
Want to erase you from me.
Wanna forget all the love- lava- rain
ENTERNAL SUNSHINE movie 
wish it was real today 
the burning question
I left at your feet
When I was melting away. 
Love- lava- rain
every part of you melting away.
Erase you from me.
Then wash me 
clean by  rain 
Im done with the lava drops 
 burn on me.
Love lava won't burn so deep
I want love Only
Im done with the lava drops
 burning so deep.

A Vulnerable Lie

Honestly.
 it wasnt me .
It was never really in my reach.
Never knowing what could be.
 I persecuted everything about 
you and me .

time open my eyes,
Vulnerable lie.
IS it too late to  cry?
Can't get back what
 she
 took 
away.
I thought I had It all, 
my first love 
Truly its faith.
Love is complicated.
 Can't be explained.
 Made fun of me, 
as your ex stood there
And all our friends.
You laugh 
Not knowing ,I was scared.
Cause I  told a
VULNERABLE LIE 
I still gave you a chance ,
Proving 
my worth

IT's my fault when I told you ,
it wouldn't work 
if you lied
SHARED A 
Vulnerable lie 
You wanted to see where this leads
 I started the poison
  vulnerable piece.
A place where I won the noose  
To hang me.

We both wanted to
hide the vulnerable piece.
Put it behind us.

Why would you ask me a
question,
If you didnt want to
 answer you own question?
Will the  outcome change
If you knew I was weak?

Vulnerable lie
Hypocrite you
Hypocrite  me
I betray you too
Trying to save what we made.
I know you wish you knew about me

Im losing that race.
If it came up again!
Would you do the same ?
Pick me?
to protect 
Us now?
A
Vulnerable lie 
we both told 
that would've change our destiny.

Trigger clothes or In love?

Love spell 
weight of you.
You have ahold on me .
 Take your trigger clothes.
 I want you to slip them down,
 Now.

Ohh ,
Am I worthy?
Let me see what I can do?
Your affection is my addiction ,
 Intimate eyes looking though 

 Holding my attention.
 Electrifying as you sending 
shockwaves.
 Im flying with you.

In and out space .
You have ahold on me.
Spark a flame in my dark.
Endless fire maze 
knowing you will never get out with me.

Realizing am no good with you 
I wanta tell you 
"Get your trigger clothes.
Stay Away 
from my 700 plex".
You deserve more than that.
I shouldn't want you to go 
I WANNTA  believe
 You're built for me
But
Im down on the  floor with shells.
Dark as hell.
 Don't look at me now,

You're always be my sugar sweet
Im full of crumbs and drity secrets, 
You wouldn't want to sleep next to me.

I'LL Bring you down 
You shouldn't stay.
Cause its cloudy and full of disease.
Im lost at sea.
With an angry monster chasing me.
Its me !
Its me

You're glistening angel.
 Floating above
so everyone could see.
You can have it all
Except when you are with me.
You have the world 
You deserve more.
You dont belong with me.

 I cant take you to Hawaii.
So take trigger clothes 
I know you will find 
an exotic dessert that can pay
 for that dinner you deserve .

As I sink to the ocean floor.
While you still on the shore 
Could I give you more?
Love is letting go 
Knowing  Im not everything
 you deserve 
There's a lot more 
Out there to explore 
Love is letting go.
Something I  dont deserve .
You!
You

Coastline

Reliving Coastline memories. 
We drove to the beach.
I wrote in the sand.
 "  I hate
the way you
make me feel"
I wanta depend on your hand.
You make me the happiest, 
man.
I want you back.

You get me out of my comfort zone. 
 taught me about cow bellys,
I don't want anybody 
to feel the way I do,
  about you.
So don't let them in!
You made me who I am.

Recalling coastline memories
walking on the beach.
Hour car ride.
You're calling /canceling 
With that guy.
You were supposed to meet.
I'm attracted to your honesty.
Did you wait to call him ,
when you were with me?

You wanted me to know that you moved on.
Cause I cut you deep.
I wanta scream Sorry.
We are
Close to the coastline. 
You know where I stand
 I'm stuck on you.
I'm driving you to the beach.
Never losing you again.

I wanted to start the  drive 
 with a list of 
redemption apologies.
At the end of the night, I wanted you to forgive me.
I know in takes alot from your history
Will I have another shot ?
Wannabe on the coastline with you.
 
Promise I won't break your  heart,
Not this time!
You may break mine!
I'll take that chance 
You are more than a treasure chest.
I learn my lesson. 

Even after 20 years
 Making me feel uneasy 
with that stare.
When you are mad at me,
For trivial things.
When old friends bring up your ex.
Talking about your history 
Im still jealous when 
 they mentioned him.

You're still are out my league.
  Deeper and harder  in love 
with you. 
Im into you only.
 You still have a chance to break my heart because it belongs to you.
It ends at the coastline with you.
It always 
be you.

FIX was turned into a song

[ Fix  by John Diket is streaming on all platforms]

 
On the interstate 
Single
 looking for another bae.
I'm a hurt  man. 
Some say I'm cold.

I always wanted to be . 
Now I would be forevermore  
since you hurt me
I don't have a clue 
On what to do .
After this  pain settles in.
Built this palace
You left me in.
 Its an
Open void
Hard to fill.
its killing me.
It has me moving. 
Leaving these streets 
Searching for someone that looks like you
Thought it be easy.
Its impossible to find another you.
Seeing things 
like
 trees
that Im passing by are waving
 bye.
The other side is Motioning 
 come back soon 
and 
 beg her for another  try.

  My roads weaves in and  out of yours.
 All my emotions   leaks out.
When I see you
Do you wanta see more
 of 
this awful aroma
  hitting everyone  like a
 disease
 leaving a  mark
That people see.
Written on my face 
 And when they ask me .
What are We?
I can't say.
I have  (this)
Disappointed face!
Then I think  back , on what I did!
Then  the past  hits,
Then the past hits,
Still haunting me!

I don't wanna move on .
Start thinking of that time I first saw you
With those earrings and your high pony and 
That jean skirt you love to wear

We are gonna be 
Priceless art.
my memories  of us.
We made priceless art.
 Are Cruel Misery dream 
Over thing I have left you


We had something I can't explain !
The only thing
 that keeping me 
breathing,
  Is a Faint smell of you
On my  bed.
Counting down to another fix !
 I  can only wish
I was the only one
 for you!
Can I keep this
 ghost of you.
Telling me
I should go...
 caution....with
Some one new .
That looks like you
 
I keep a sexy  image locked in my head
I'm  following the path of how we met .

You were my  fox
I'm the  hunter 
Dragging my knees into the ditch 
To just  get close to you
Then I lost  sight of you 

I searching  down a wrong path
 I pick one from the box   
Slightly looks like you
Squinting makes her look Like You!
And I'm bored
But she doesn't sound like you.
 memory of you is 
Fading in and out
But I know its not you 
it's not real. 
So I let her go. 
Not fair to the innocent.
I  love you more .
That's my secret
I love you

Instead of  making a new fix .
I wish you were 
Here
Can you be Permanent fix?
How do we reKindle this?
making  you 
My Forever fix!
Can  you be  my fix?
 you are my only fix!
How  can I fix this?
