Nothing At All

Not enough? Am i not enough? I thought I was the one. You lied to me, yes indirectly but a
lie is a lie the same. my heart aches with fear of uncertainty but knowledge is my game. It is
the path I chose, I wanted the pain but honestly I had no clue, that my search for such even
purely intended would find me losing you.

yes it was my fault for breaking your trust for running amuck trying to find myself. i went
about it all wrong but again my intentions were pure from the start. you'll never realize
though, that you broke it first that night in the hotel room. yeah you have your excuses but
you know they'll never do. you betrayed me first I've never been hurt the way i was hurt by
you.

what kind of monster can be so two faced? love me by day and lay aside your convictions to
crawl into a bed of sin in the pit of hell by the shadows of night. you monster you made me a
monster myself and monster it was made you. this circle of death will kill us all and I'm
afraid. and i feel theres nothing i can do.

i would curse my monster slay him to death and never look back to his ashes.. if only i knew
you would do the same and truly NEVER turn back. its my greatest fear in giving you my all
and if betrayed it would be the honest and ultimate death of me, id invite it back and be done
with this world, careless again id become. but, find a way no matter what it takes to make
me believe your intent is real and ill do what i say because i want it that way our wounds
over due to be healed.

please just give me that love that I've craved my whole life from birth till the time i met you.
none have satisfied since, none ever will. all i want is you and your love. but hide it not like
you did in the past your fear of me is what created my fear. come back to the beginning like
it should have been before that monster got to you. with me, lay it all down and we'll follow
this path together!

of apologies and forgivness i know not the outcome but of love i am certain yet only of this, i long for your smell your taste your hand interwind in mine just as our souls forever, i want it for all eternity but if only to have it in time would be my life's passion. all i want is you. i can say im sorry for the rest of my life but id rather spend it telling you the endlessness of my love. intentions pure and honest and my only want in all the world is for the feeling to be returned with the same passion its dealt out. i love you.

All That I Feel

Life has consumed me.
I am a harsh bitter shell of the hero I used to be.
An innocent boy full of love now flourished into a savage ripping, thrashing, selfish monster.

Yes, its true I am a monster and seemingly destined to wallow this way.
I find peace in little to nothing now and my heart cries out for love!
I believe its too late and nothing can be done salvage what was once so real.

This monster that so subtly guides me has damned me to this living hell 
"Is there no Saviour!?" i cry hoping for more but so faithless i cry.
There is a God who can redeem the love but why should he ever give me what i want?

I'm so selfish i cannot over come! i have no will, nothing to fight for.
It should be everything just to fight for the presence of that God of mine
but alas this monster has taken even that joy.

Why did all this happen? Everything was exactly as i needed..
I let it become this way with all my curiosity and ignorant "insight" of the world.
I realize now that I know nothing and never will I find what I am looking for.

Despair has wretched my inner most being and I am afraid that its grasp will never let me 
live but instead swallow me whole.
The life I long for sits boldly in my face but a can do little to achieve it for every time I reach 
my hand is slapped away and my body and mind are thrown to the ground so that i might 
pick these pieces up and learn a little humility.

But still it all seems pointless, why learn anything at all when you can truly know nothing?
Why should I try? why should I fight? I'm helpless, meaningless here. i am void an without 
purpose so it seems.
I want more but cannot have it. 

I just want to be accepted.

I just want to be loved.

I just want your everything so i can know i am not the only one capable of showing true love.

Selfish it seems because selfish it is. But what else am I supposed to feel!?
You think I never knew but i was watching all along.
You thought i couldn't see but the mirror behind you showed that silver blade.
I watched as you stabbed it through over and over again!

Yes, I know that not all of what i see is true but tone it down for what it is and yes I see the 
truth. You cant deny what you did and for it no excuse. What did this bald man give you that i 
didnt!? iI makes week sickens my heart and makes me want to die! 
Physical or not the emotion was betrayed! You say you love I saw that 
truth so why would you throw it away!?

I Wish Your Love

I would give you everything you ask of me if only to find forgiveness enough to befriend. 
But it wont be enough i NEED your love theres nothing like it.
i want your friendship i want your love.
i need your God and you need him too. 
Anything, absolutely anything i will do it a thousand fold and thousand fold over that!
every flower on the earth every sparkling glimmer of sunlight scattered cross the oceans surface every scene of beauty of hope of love of life i would give it all to you! 
anything that your heart would desire i would do anything for you.

i wish your forgiveness. i don't expect it.
i wish your love. i fear its gone.
i wish your happiness. i feel i took it all.
i wish your want to be with me, but I've spit to far to get you back now.

I'm helpless. adrift so lonely, a victim of circumstance in an empty void of life. 
who can call for home? home is non existent. i am nonexistent, the love the good the hope for all, ill take it down with me because i just don't care.

the only reason i am not already dead is because of that
still small voice that simply said, "just wait". So why not? I have nothing else to live for. My 
curiosity killed me, maybe by some miracle it will give me life.

find my love in this letter and its yours forever. never betray me and I will stand by 
your side till we are gone.

The Fall

I can see the vibrant colors of autumn slowly beginning to mesh into these misty Tennessee hilltops.
I love this season.

Back Then

i believe that i was once this boy of whom your heart, your soul, your mind, your everything was so captivated by. i stumbled upon this cup of soup to realize what ive lost. to myself in true perspective to see just how far gone i am. in days past ive done my best to believe the lies i put on you but that simply wont do. i know what we had and i try so hard to forget. i dont want to forget. this time it will not fade away ill never leave your side. all i am longs for you! baby is it you?

Interesting

its love and its not gone! if this is you please know that i can never take back the harsh words that cut so deep and the anger i built up twords you for mistakes you never made. all i want and can think or even dream about is your love again! i know these words are yours i can tell by the imprint your soul has left on them. i want this feeling back i will gladly die if i cannot have it for nothing else makes a life so happy and worth living. but i will stay forever if only to have that chance..
