My Friend Is Lost, My Heart Is Broke

in a room I lay with you invading my thoughts
I cant seem to get you out of my head
I know I should let go and move forward
But It eats me to think I lost my only friend.

I cant bring myself to cry
nor do I know how to get closure
I don't want to let go of you
but reality is, it has been over.

I didn't care if you hurt me
because at least you were there
pride no longer a factor
and I know you really cared.

It became a chore to stay away
that is what u needed at the time
I tried to be there regardless	
because I was the happiest when at ur side.

I never could grasp the reason
or what I did so wrong to you	
I felt like I understood and It was okay
but at the end of the day, it wasn't  i u'd choose.

Understanding on a verbal contract	
but I wasn't the one who left	
I get why you did the things you did
but u didn't get,  for you i wanted only the best.

well, now I am here and you there
as I have come to peace with whats real	
I know I have to be at a distance for now
need time for my heart to heal	

I am still your friend, that won't ever change
but I have to go on with my life 	
you told me from the beginning but I chose not to listen
and I can say that with you I honestly tried.

tried to love and never judge
although things made me feel like I wasn't good enough	
Maybe I was to deep into my heart
and I was mistaken our arrangement 
     for something it never was………

My Life As a Lie

I cried but you couldn't hear the 
sobs
the tears were there but never shed,
I was confined within my pain 
and only lived, the life created in my 
head.

I convinced only myself
that I wasn't who everyone claimed
I felt I was pure with intention
and everything gone wrong 
     I had someone else to blame.
and they were the ones with 
conditions.

I lived in a fantasy of deception
only I understood what mystifies 
the rest
I thought the world was completely 
wrong
and alone I stood when everyone 
left.

I become content with being alone
because friends and family never 
existed
It was my mind that twisted my 
heart	
thinking I was the only one who 
didn't have 
    corupt intentions….

I had the time to analyze
sit back and replay it all in my mind
I caught myself pressing pause on 
my memories
and then a memory brought tears to 
my eyes
   as In my head I would press 
rewind 
seeing me destroying my life .

I couldn't bring myself to accept the 
proof
as it was played over and over for 
my eyes	
I fought what was proven to be 
considered truth
and Concluded that I was the only 
person who
  was convinced of the lies.

I Feel Something Great Coming My Way

A different vision seen 
than whats been known as my life	
I cant  explain the difference
or the thoughts crowding my mind…

I can't quit describe the feeling
or the way it soothed my nerve
like a weight has been lifted
and my prayer,  god has heard….

I can't find the words 
to put it in perspective
I am at lost for a description
for  another cant understand 
   how my life it is effecting.

I sit alone in silence	
although there are others in the room	
I am having fully concentrated on the conversation
only, Its only my mind debating on what I should do.

I shake from my thought
observe four of us in this man's house
not a word exchanged between any of us
but conversation proved us to be thinking too loud...........

My Confusion

Many thought processed 
few were understandable
confusion corupts comprehension
leaving my mind in shambles.....
Loss without explanation
or explanation for the loss
whats suppose to be free to all
     for me has a cost.....
Love to live life as life is to be lived
or life never lived due to loss of love
where do we turn when the world turns
and there's nobody left to trust.....
Fighting an endless battle
for the battle within ones mind
why doesnt anyone understand
for the battle took my life....
my soul was sold for mere less than worth
as i was quick to give it up
for i am so quick to give
not realizing i sold the me I used to love.....
then my mind began to slip away 
and I got lost in my thought
i seemed to over analyze the depth of  each word
until my mind got completely lost.
and then my heart faded til it was gone
no longer passionate like i was before
passion ran out and before is gone
and being rational is the biggest chore.
As it stands, I am alone lost someplace
or maybe someplace is alone and lost 
and I happen to be there
I could be wrong about what going on
or what now happening has me a little scared....
