Why Cant You Just Love Me Back

It thrusts over me

Something like a drowning pain

And the only thing that comes to mind

Was do you feel the same

Cause for Days I've been askin myself

Do you love me for me

Or is they're someone else

Has they're ever been

A moment where you missed my smile

Cause I've been having this moment in my head for awhile

And I can't seem to let you go

Even though I know you said its best for us both

But I just love you so

And you say its wrong but it just feels so right

How can you be the one to say what I feel inside

Somehow my words never come out right

It always ends in us starting to fight

Then we say its over I dont wanna be over

I wanna know where we even begun

It feels like every step forword is another ten back

And if the past is the past

Then why is it always in the back of your mind

I cant believe you still blame me after all this time

I just wanna make you mine


And heaven is so far away but I see it in your eyes

And if the devil is what made us this way then lets hope that God wont let us die

Because I can't survive I know that I cannot live without having just one more kiss

And I can't survive I wont let it go if you do not tell me that you love me also

The Broken Puzzle Piece

Your strength was my weakness

Your heart was like my home

Your love was mine to keep

But now I'm so alone

I thought this was for the best

Atleast that's what you said

My heart just seems so broken

Its almost like I'm dead

I've gotten so lost and confused

I feel kind of twisted and abused

It's like my feelings are a letter left unread

You would'nt take the time

You said you didn't care

But throughout it all I was still there

I guess it's time to let go

I guess it's something we will never know

The words left unsaid will be kept with us until we're dead

Heres my last goodbye

I cannot stick around while you watch my heart die.

Goodbye

The tears that I cry,

Shows the pain that I hide.

It was all left out for you,

Tell me what am I suppose to do?

You break me down,

Tear me apart.

We are always ending,

Back to start.

And still I stayed,

So many times you told me to go.

I only stayed,

Because they're is just so much I had to know.

Do you love me?

Like I loved you?

Did you mean it when you say you were through?

Think carefully before you say yes.

and STOP telling me that this was for the best,

either way its still gonna hurt.

Because I know we could of made it work.

Untitled

When you have your heart broken it takes a toll
it's like it's your goal
you wont stop untill it hurts 
more than getting shot 
and put 6 feet under in the dirt
I dont know whats worse
But to many times have I spent my ryhmes 
on someone not even worth my time
as if you were mine
Yeah its my fault
cause I caught you in the action 
and your words can't replace all the things that I've heard
it's your word against her's 
and it's getting harder to listen 
when we're kissin 
I'm wounderin whos mouth your missin
I invision, its like where is waldo
I think I outta know
what it is that she does that's got you so wrapped up
when I do things for you it's like it's never enough
I cant stand not being loved
and if this is love then I dont want None
of the love that your givin 
and just cause we're livin 
doesn't mean we won't fall hard on the ground
we're bound to lose faith in this sound 
it's all profound 
but so far what I've found 
is all we've got is each other 
there aint no other 
so why walk away from one another?

A Time To Let Go

I know I've got heart

I know I've got brains

But where do you start

When no one understands what that means?

Since when did doing whats right

Turn into doing the wrong things

And how can you say you know me

when all you've got is a name?

I've got my pencil to my paper

And a mind set in range

I guess I wanna tell you that Ive been feelin something strange

Now before we start to fight let me explain a little more

You were the one who went and started up this war

And now im crashin down

it's out of my control

I guess your right

It's time we let this go.

Questions I Ask

I can't help but start thinkin
After all this drinkin
People keep sinkin
6 feet under
It makes me wonder
How your gonna sit there and say
My life isn't that great
Bet you can't walk a mile in the shoes I made
They fade, I just wish my father could of stayed
I still wanna see true love to this day. 
Sometime's I wonder If im really goin under
I can't picture my daughter without a mother
She's already missin her father
It's like my past has now been passed to another
Which my past was passed down from my mother
Why do we all have to suffer?
