Love Is a Beautiful Thing

Whoever said love was a beautiful thing  left out a few parts...
Yea it's an amazing feeling, but it hides the monster  deep in the heart..... 
They say If you've never felt jealousy you've never been in love.... 
BULLSHIT! 
You see  jealousy is the  monster that shows it's face and engulf you in green despise hidden 
behind loving eyes that make YOU seem so heaven sent.... 

They make you believe that love is the most powerful thing.... There right 
But not for the hallmark reasons or the pictures defining love.... 
That's just a second in time, 
Right place right time, 
And you tell me this, you show me this and I'm supposed to think your right? 
GET OUT OF HERE!
Love is powerful because it can drive you to do the most outrages things that shadow the 
monster u hide inside waiting to emerge and bring a beautiful destruction to light. 

So it's just  easier to forget....
All the fights 
All the words that penetrate your mind And bring u down to micro size.... 
Love is a beautiful thing.... But only if you can tame your monster who seems to be 
multiplying and recruiting.. so now pride joins in and brings with him a sense of cocky I'm 
right attitude.. Rage is right around the corner listening and waiting while verbal abuse is 
making his way over to get in on the fun.....  
ARE U JOKING?
Your monster is the reason you question this emotion the reason your going through motions 
that make you seem like a horrible person.... So let's put jealousy away and tell his new 
friends that he's not coming out to play...
Instead,Reminisce on the moments that made love be what they told you.... Let's live in a 
frozen moment and extend it and see what it brings.... 
Cause then you can say with a smile LOVE IS A BEAUTIFUL THING.

Lie To Me

I see the gears in your mind 
begin to turn and the look on 
your face slowly switch, 
So I want you to lie to me and 
tell me how your fine an it's 
just a twitch. 
 I see the look in your eyes 
slowly start to fade and your 
body slowly shift, 
So once again tell me lies and 
tell me your ok, your not 
feeling well, and it's only an 
itch. 
Lie to me the way I've been  
lying to myself everyday,
Look the other way and say its 
for the best and how love will 
somehow find a way. 
Toss and turn and dream of the 
empty space that occupies your 
heart, 
Wonder in your mind and loose 
yourself in memory lane and 
daydream of a fresh start. 
Conjure up a place where we 
were once happy and in love 
knowing that its real, 
Talk to me in tongues with 
subliminal messages hidden 
behind the lies, 
Rip through my flesh with 
words and melodies and let me 
read between the lines. 
Touch me once again and 
watch me drift into my fantasy; 
Where we are the same people 
we once remembered.
Lie to me like I'll lie to you.... 
Tell me you don't miss me, you 
don't love me, your done with 
this part of your life, that your 
done waiting for the old me, 
and the illusion has faded of 
making me your wife.
Tell me I'm nothing a nobody in 
your eyes, 
Stare into my eyes look into my 
soul and tell me more lies.
Tell me you don't hear the faint 
sounds of our happiness & 
wedding bells, 
Lie to me so I can lie to you..... 
Let's keep fooling ourselves

Untitled

If I try for you, will you try for me?
Will you make me smile as I do to you? 
surprise me with something you know will put a smile on my face? 
Will you fall in love with me again, as I have with you? 
Or will you speak empty words that mean something to me but nothing to you? 
Will you be the man you want to be for us? 
Accept the unique design of your other half? 
Tell me what would you do to make sure I'm always going to be there? 
Beauty fades with time and all that is left is what captivates you. 
So will I be the one that lights up a crowded room? 
The beauty that sticks out amongst the rest? 
Or just another pit stop in your road to success?

Forever Mine

I am hypnotized by the glimpse in the windows that are your eyes, 
The masculine lines that create your face.
The precise detail put into your body that make you a golden prize.
I am addicted to the creation that gods have worked so hard to form. 
The dimples when you smile the hint of hazel in your brown eyes that appear as if lovers intertwined in a dance of 
romance & seduction. 
I remember every detail. 
I admire every mistake. 
I watch every move. 
And in moments I fall in love again. 
Speak to me and show me the world through magnificent eyes 
That dream of wealth happiness and other things you fantasize.
Immobilize me with your touch and whisper sweet nothings in my ears to silence the body.. 
Let me breath in your skin. 
Taste the essence of you. 
I am In love. 
I am afraid. 
I am addicted. 
I am so many things. 
I am his. And he... 
He is forever mine

The Story of My Life

There's a story in her eyes, of sadness and tears, 
a symphony of lost loves & goodbyes,
There's a story in her eyes that are filled with unknowns fears,
And a ballad of emotions that dance around her heart trying to mend the pieces that held painful lies. 
There's a story of love hidden behind  walls of uncertainty that tries to heal every wound ever created. 
There's a story. 
With no happily ever after. 
There's a story that's waiting for the right author to finish the tale. 
There's a story waiting..... 
For you.

Ghost To Your Love

As I stand an empty shell of a person... 
I see the path I couldve had 
The joys and moments of sad 
The fantasies you believe reality
And I've come to realize....
Pride is a hard pill to swallow. 
 
I built an image. That You've knocked Down in seconds.
 You made me feel two feet tall when I thought I could touch the sky.
 I stood with a sense of accomplishment, and you showed me that I haven't even touched my goals.
I died a Lil inside. 

My innocence to a world you exposed me to is not what you want. 
I can not be silent as you assume my life.
 As you think you know how I've lived.
But I bite my tongue... And everything I've ever built... The strong independent women that once stood is no 
longer there.

So as I stand empty, hollow, and a totally new person.. 
I just stay silent and hidden in the crowd.
 Ask me who I am & I would know how to answer.
 Who do you want me to be? 
Cause I no longer exist.

Searching

Shhhhhh..... Don't speak....
Just look past the mistakes, the fears of getting closer, the conclussion of why you didn't feel the same, & the 
fact that our hearts are divided fighting to concur.
Look through the eyes that gaze as gods were standing before her. 
Kneel at the psychological mind of chaos and realize the master mind behind the tyrant. 
Follow the sounds that serenaded you in sweet seductive sounds with a love that burns like the flames of a 
thousand suns.
Once all this is done all that's left is The real me....
Looking back.

Silent Killer

Can I put you in a box and show the world that you don't exist..... 
Can I just walk empty shallow & show that I no longer resist...
You've held me back leaked from every pour and shown everyone your true identities...
You've ruined me...
Wore me Down to nothing but a lost Insignificant blank canvas
I will no longer let you lead my life
Your tracks are on a blank piece of paper my pen is your escape. 
But I will paint my life in vivid color in memories of what you left scared behind
I'll drown the box with your own kind.... 
I will let sadness open up and drown you all 
Envy, jealousy,anger, happiness, love, rage, excitement, resentment, & everyone else I hide 
And when you feel hopeless I'll open your cellar door and let you spill out onto the blank pages of my mind...
Introduce you to the shell of a women who you left to die 
& make you remember why you no longer have rule 
My emotions will never get the best of me

Evolving

That Lil green monster thAt seeps in my skin 
Making me trip on whats to begin 
Thoughts race and create words I'd never speak 
A new vocabulary evolves from the simplest of minds 
It's only cuz I'm exploring cuz still we tend to speak lies 
 it's the Lil canon that explodes the truth 
Just look around cuz society is living proof
You need too look this way 
Talk that way, and make sure everyone is pleased... 
That green monster is the revolution of change rolled into an outfit of his own n reeks of creative uniqueness. 
This is a piece of your generation living in mine.... 
That little green monster for me is the key to open the other 90% of my mind... 
I am at a stand still looking, observing, and dividing the journeys into groups
The intellectuals, the artists, the explorers,the lost souls, the ill prepared...
 But It is an unknown definition which society branded illegal because the greatest moments came from the 
monster himself. 
Viva la revolution... Creativity can not be silenced it is lit and passed to all..

Alter Ego

your beginning to show,
I see your true colors finally begin to expose. 
I watch as layers of disguises begin to unravel before my very eyes, you are everything I warned myself about. 
You are the light at the end of the dark tunnel waiting with mocking words that pierce through me.
you are the beauty I envisioned you to be with hidden agendas I chose not to see. 
You are my rise and fall of greatness the roller-coaster from hell,
You are the breath that held the very secrets I choose not to tell.
You are everyone who's ever hurt me and everything I've tried to stay away from.
You are everything and nothing that I looked for.... 
You are you after all. 
The one who filled me with hope and watched me break and shatter into millions of heartless pieces. 
The one that kicked me when I was at my lowest and told me everything I'm not. 
You are you after all.... 
Careless and loving 
Sane and logical 
Irrational and illogical 
Lost beyond gods grip 
You are the truth to why I constantly shift. 
You can't be silenced 
You are you after all....
And I get to see the act every time you stare back from the mirror... 
Your nameless.
