Love of My Life?

She was a new girl to me, a day before she never existed
I seen her the first day of tenth grade, mind full of serious intentions
The repped the same style I did, but she was’nt interested
The end of school on the bus ride home
She asked where her stop was, I told her but let her walk alone
Later I found out it was far from close
Than I remembered it was 7 blocks away
Than it finally hit me, she was my homeboys lady
We started talkin more, the convos were nice
Than she mentioned her man, I was envious and enticed
To ask her on a date and she did’nt refuse
Charlie had dissed her or so the story goes
A few weeks later I heard the news
They had sex, I felt nervous like I was abused
Soon it was like Information about charlie was all of my use

The next time I saw her, she was’nt as nice
You can tell she was sad by the look in her eyes
She was cryin for a long long time
What he took from her was sugar and spice
Months later she told me what they had
A deep long relationship, so of course she was sad
I told her be strong and never give up
Theres always somebody for someone so we hooked up
Things were good for the first eight months
Loving and hugging is all that there was
Not knowing what lay ahead in the future
Took it all for granted, but always said I loved her

Start of eleventh grade things went wrong
I started to get moody, felt confined but still felt strong
Told her I did’nt want this much, damn I was flawed
did’nt want this much responsibility and attention
Should have known, you need that with this kind of relationship
I wish I knew that way back than
She was special to me, she was my loyal bestfriend
Situation was like this for the next two years
I felt in control of another persons life
I was so stupid and soon came by biggest fears
Never thought that I’d feel like this
For her I cried, oh god what did I miss?
I’m in her place now with the memories and tears
Why was’nt I there for her when she was lost and scared
When the tables turn you feel so helpless
Wanna go back to the very first day you met this, beautiful person
And say how much you’re sorry for the future and the unintentional diss
Lesson learned, don’t take for granted someone elses love and heart
It will come back to you 10 times harder and tear you apart

Friendship

our friendship 
i hold close to my heart
with out friendship 
the world would tear apart
with out you to guide me
with out you to hold me
with out you beside me
in each step i take
i would just fall down and apart
i'd just break
the world is'nt special with out friends
my life would'nt be happy
with out you to listen to me and not pretend
i'm glad your always there to hear me out
i'm glad your there to hear me pout
i oughta say more in this little poem of mine
but no words can be said to say
how much you mean to my life!!

My Fault

everyday we talk 
whenever we feel down or sad
even though im stubborn and mad
and not to often here for a shoulder
never to cry on never there
ive got a sickness
ive realized today 
none of my business
that will push me away
i know how you felt a long time ago
with the tears and sorrow
i hope you live on to be happy
i wont be here to make you sad anymore
im sorry i was'nt there more
when you needed me 
to help you with issues
im sorry i could'nt make you happy 
when we were together
im sorry you werent happy 
when we werent lovers
you mean so much to me i just dont know
when will this end when will it go

Face of a Clown

i need an answer 
not a prayer
why are you gone
with so much here
i can't let go 
what did you do
can't you see
what you put me through
it's not your fault
i blame myself
answer your calls
i'm not feeling well
try and hide it
when i'm down
you'll know my face 
when you see the clown

Would You

Would you love me if you saw me on T.V.?
Would you love me if I had more popularity?

Would you love me if I had all the fame?
Would you love me if everyone knew my name?

Would you love me if I had changed?
Would you love me if I stayed the same?

Would you love me if you thought I wasn’t mean?
Would you love me if I wiped my name clean?

Would you love me if I hadn’t pushed you away?
Would you love me if I could remember all your middle names?

Would you love me on Valentines Day?
Would you love me if my soul hadn’t gone but stayed?

Would you love me if I was someone else?
Would you love me if I loved myself?

Slip

I felt myself slip away from you 
i can feel it now deep inside
im slipping away from you
letting myself go dying inside

i would love to see you one last time
i wish you were here before i say goodbye
i blame myself for everything
remember me baby you were my one and only

the pain is to strong right now honey
pray for me and hope i'm alright
i'm afraid I'll never see you past tonight

remember the love it was always there
remember my heart it was always yours

the things i should have said
are the things i should have done
now that im dying this is no longer fun

I dont want to wake at all
if i wake as the person i saw
when i looked in the mirror so long ago
after me and jess ended it all

youre not her so dont take it that way
but its my heart that has been broken
so many times even when i say
that i love you with all my heart baby 

i'm going away now to a place so far
i'm going away now please don't grieve so hard
not to a distant land or some place known
i'm going to the place where i'll be happy
a place i call home
i'll be waiting for you when the time is right
when the fields stop swaying and the waves are kind
I feel my soul slipping 
please don't take too much time.....

Too Long

i'm sorry to say this but i must leave
through all the confusion and turn abouts
its not worth staying
you mean the world to me
but those who know me best know it can't be
I wish I was a bigger person and show you love
but with you over there and me over here
how can i show you anything besides pics and such
They say if it's love and if it's meant to be
we'll come together and than you'll see
and if it isn't thank you for the time you've known me
you're a very special person 
you're a very pretty person
you're a very comapassionate person
i've had a lot of time 
a lot of time to think of this ordeal of mine
but i can tell in your voice this isn't what you want
I want you here to be with me because....
you changed my life
changed my ways
put a smile on my face every single day
but i know the distractions and attractions
have us on two different wave lengths
i hope that person who changes your life comes soon
don't wait to long though it might pass you by
and you never even knew
they say don't pass up the good thing
i'm not passing you up i just need time to think
you've waited long enough very patiently
it's hurting me to hurt you unintentionally
one day i hope you find it in your heart 
to forgive me and one day i hope we can both be happy...
hopefully together but maybe apart

Tear Soaked Pillow

As the pillow lies there quietly
it contemplates on asking the question, why?
why are you crying?
what are you saying with those blood-shot eyes?
what's being muffled into this brown cloth of mine?
than the pillow realizes why this man is also asking why
through those muffled cries
she hears the name merry and knows all is not fine
she met her before
one night she slept on her
the pillow knows she wanted more
she listened to the man on nights when he was in
she heard the laughs, she heard the fights
she knows the man was happy with her in his life
as the pillow listens to the man cry
she can't help but feel sorry because he takes out a knife
the pillow starts crying
"please don't end it now,
 you're hurting I understand
but please I'm here now,
punch me, kick me, release your tears into me,
I'm here for you when you need rest
I'm here for you please
DON'T STICK THAT IN YOUR CHEST!"
the man can't hear the pillow pleading
the man gets angry and curses at god
"WHY IS THIS REPEATING?!"
the pillow stops and thinks
"hes talking about Jessica and the last time he was on the brink"
be careful what you do to people, especially the one you love
because one day that special person will die
with or without your love
it finally happened, the end of the path on an inevitable course:
the man took up the knife
put it to his chest and ended his life
with his last dying breath
he reaches for the pillow
he kisses her and puts her to his chest
she starts crying because she's alone
as a blood soaked pillow

Coming From Me

where are you?
are you ok? 
why did everything have to get so messed up?
I'm sorry if it was my fault
I'm sorry that I didn't accept you until the last few years you were here
I was scared you would leave
and I didn't want to get attached to a false hope
Look at what happened
I've never had a fatherly figure to look up to
I had my uncle and my grandpa 
but no one I could call my father
you're strong and positive
why did you have to leave?
everything you needed was here
i was going to buy a house in Puerto Rico
for you and my my  mom to retire to
i know you miss your daughters and you want to be with them
but you can't sacrifice your family here for a dream
maybe YOU can but YOU lost a good thing
you're my father and I love you more than even your real children ever will
and my  mother loves you more than you'll ever know

Maybe

maybe one day if you look back on this 
you'll know how i felt
i just hope you see it as a good thing 
and dont regret anything about yourself
if he's bad to you
hurts you
hits you
does everything i didn't
just remember i was here if you needed to get through it
if he's good to you
lives with you
loves you
does everything thing i should've
just remember i was here everyday thinking of it
i remember looking back 
on the first day you said you loved me
theres no turning back
just all that is ahead of me
i miss those days i really do
like when we played halo 
and all i thought of was you
didn't care if i won or lost
just that you were there to share it all
