Crush Rebuild

I think I have a crush because I 
never felt such a rush,
Time and time I been let down, I 
always found myself on the 
rebound,
My life has been a living hell but 
when I saw you my crush rebuild,
My life has changed drastically But 
because of you I feel complete,
When you kiss my lips their so soft 
and sweet, when you hold me I can’t 
retreat,

I know we don’t know each other 
that much but hey it’s just a crush;
I know there’s thing that are 
blocking the way but believe in me 
an the crush we change, I kind of 
know the way you feel but time will 
tell I just know it will,
I don’t know does that make me 
sound cheap to have a crush on a 
one way street, trying to 
make this a two way thing,

I often close my eyes and image 
that everything right but time flies 
by and leave me paralyzed,
Thinking of this crush I have on you 
hoping that someday I can make it 
true I'm always come 
back to the crush you made because 
that’s the day my life was remade.

Lost

My time is free
 all I got to do is rome aimlessly 
searching for answers asking myself why
why am I here 

every things in my life don’t make sense 
and these answers I search for don’t exist
looking up at the stars wondering what is this for
and still asking why am I here

I’m always getting put in places where I don’t fit in
feeling left out while people stare
burning a hole in me and I ask why
 why do I feel this pain

people always assume that I’m happy 
but I don’t see what they see
I see a lot of pain and suffering 
and everything seems to fade

as I stare at these dark walls
I draft in a place where the lights are out
it’s cold, and I’m alone leaving this world
asking myself where do I truly belong

as I try to sleep these thoughts rome through me
building a wall keeping me trap so that I will always recap
on the life I once had
feeling like I should vanish 

I hide my pain with a smile
and tell you everything going to be alright
its truly hard for everyone to see
the path I walk is just not that easy

living my life as a dream
feel like I’m the person who shouldn’t be seen
waking up and the world seems to freeze and everyone stop and  stare 
so emptily and I see the one person who could help me

my life fade slower and slower by the second
looking up to see if your still there
losing sight of what might be I’m dying
and it all just seems like a bad dream

and now I’m screaming help me
but the world is empty
and no one sees me

My Last Words

I’m sorry I couldn’t be there to see you depart to tell you these three words I hold in my heart, dad I love you in that will never change, you was a great man and one day I wish to be the same, you taught me everything I know and I thank you I just wish you didn’t have to go, I remember back when I was a kid you use to laugh and joke with me that was fun wasn’t it, but remembering things like that just make it harder for me to write this, but your my dad I don’t care what anybody say, I love you so so much I just sorry I have to tell you this way, this man help my family for as long as I could remember going against the rules to make sure we wouldn't suffer, he gave me two people I could call mom and dad for that my love for you will always last I know it’s been a while since we last seen each other, but I know you still look out for me dad I will always love you no matter what mom you was the other half that kept him strong but I guess it was time for him to go home but mom I know you will stay strong because I know you’re a strong woman I will always have you in my prayers and I’m truly am sorry I couldn’t be there I love you mom and dad

Over You

You’re the one….the one from my dreams every time I think of you I only see happy 
things, I’m left paralyzed and always standing last trying to get back where I begin, this 
is hard for me to say but you broke my heart every kind of way, hitting me in spots I 
didn’t know exist shattering it with every waft, I figure one day I’ll try again but I know 
I’m the only one who’s going to be broken hearted, time and time I tried giving you my 
heart but you didn’t take it you just let it fall, I know you’re the one from my dreams but 
you confuse me and not knowing is the toughest thing, sometimes I wish I never met 
you in my dreams cause when I wake up everything is still the same, but hey I got over 
you and now I see my life is like a dream, I’m always chasing something that can’t be 
seen

I Dream

I dream a dream to escape this world to enter a stream of fulfilling hurls, going back and forth I dream a dream of having this everlasting theme, pushing forward in this dream life twist and turn an make me scream, I dream a dream thoughts in my mind confusing me every single time, dancing shadows in my dream i dream a dream of a dream, life gave me this dream to come to past i dream a dream this world at last, having places that are undefined, living this dream I thought was mine, in this dream i dream a dream i know this world is incomplete, I dream a dream of turning time looking for this place I use to call mine, I dream a dream of a place of silence but these demons inside keep realigning, this place at last casting shadows where time wont past this everlasting battle, to give this heart a piece of mind I dream a dream of a future that's mine.
