Conditional Love

You say you love me
Like a ticket to get what you want
You use your lips like a key
To enter me and get all that you please 
Then leave me 
And don’t return till you feel it’s necessary 
I am you gas station
You seem to think I am cheap gas
But I am wroth so much more then that
But my insecurities kept me from moving on
They kept me from finding someone new 
Because I wanted your false love
It didn’t matter to me that you only came when you were in need
You called me you girl just to keep me slightly happy 
And it was working
I believed in your games and lies
I ignored all the signs 
Hoping one day
My body might make you truly love me
Truly want me
But it didn’t work
I was always just your lost puppy
Looking for scraps you were willing to give me
I gave 100%
While you only gave 20
But I didn’t care
All I wanted was to hear the words 
You so easily said
I let you play with my emotions
I let my heart get broken 
And I stood there in pain waiting for the day you could finally say you loved me
I mean truly love me 
Was that too much to ask for?
I just wanted you to give me half of what I offered you
And yet you were incapable of doing that
I died inside
But that was the only way I could break free
From the prison you trapped me in
I no longer what you hand-me downs
Relationships are a give and take process
 But you took so much it was no longer even a relationship
I was your store 
And you got everything for free
But I’m taking it all back
I was foolish for ever loving you
For ever thinking you cared
But now you have to find another store to steal from
Another gas station
Because mine are closed down
I’m through 
With loving someone who refuses to love me back
Because they’re to busy loving others
I’m through with you
And you conditional love

Prisoner of the Mind

Imprisoned in my own mind
Give anything to bind time
Trapped in the present
While trying to forget the past
Future is approaching faster 
Then it’s going to last 
Anger rising over its potential
Sadness taking its heed 
If only time would just stop 
And give me a second to breath
No one truly understands
The type of prison I’m in
How I’m surrounded by gates
Longing for the outside but can’t escape
Time is my enemy
But in a way my friend
Because in time 
I know this torture will end
If only I could erase those lies
Turn left instead of right
I would be at peace in my mind
Instead of fighting nightmares at night
And having walls block my sight
Closing in
Destroying any and every type of life
Except me
I just sit alone unable to breath
Or see
Or think
Chains on my hands and feet
Feeling nothing but defeat 
I let my music take me to sleep
For it’s my only chance for peace
Where my mind is temporarily free

I Dare You To Love Me

I dare you to love me

Not with just your body

But your heart and mind

When I look into your eyes

I want to see and know

Your feelings are genuine

I want your time and attention

You commitment

If that’s too much to ask

Then you shouldn’t be in this

I give 110 percent

So I expect the same

And it’s not gonna be easy

You can’t let pride get into the way

We both can’t have it our way

Sometimes both of us will have to lose the fight

To make things right

But don’t get my feelings twisted

I’m not one that’s gonna let you play me and be alright

My heart aint on my sleeve for any and everybody’s taking

It’s locked up surrounded and protected

Waiting for the right one to claim it

But to get to it you have to work

And its gonna take time

Its gonna be hard

But it’s worth every step

Because once you get it

It’s yours

I’m an impossible puzzle

But it’s possible to put me together

Very few can handle such a challenge

Even fewer try

But I think you have what it takes to pass the finish line

So I’m giving you a chance

Just to see what you can do

I dare you to love me

Can you handle it?

I Love You

Mixed emotions have been running through me
Thoughts of you have been nonstop controlling me
Grabbing hold of me, rocking me to sleep
With you is where I find true peace
I don’t know how to explain
At times I don’t even try
I just keep it inside
But show it in my eyes
Through my smile
You’ve made me happy in everyway
I trust you with something so important to me
The key to my heart
To me
There is no one better for me than you
I love you

Dear Diary

Dear diary,
When I first met him
He was annoying to me. 
Wasting my time every time he would speak.
But the more we would talked
The more he would open
Explaining to me that he was heartless
And at that moment everything changed
My feelings for him weren’t the same
I had to prove to him his heart could be change
But in doing so I gave him my heart by mistake
And as time past
My love grew stronger
And I somehow I knew he felt the same
We would talk for hours 
All night and day
He became my best friend
My everything
But distance kept us apart
And soon reality hit us hard
He was lonely and needed someone there
Someone he was able to touch
So I began to understand 
“Us” wasn’t enough
Then “She” came into the equation
And as much as I didn’t like it
I couldn’t change it
So I tried to let it go
 I tried to ignore 
“The I love yous” 
”the pictures”
”the love”
But it broke my heart secretly
Because I saw him no longer loved just me
But I’d never let him know these feelings
And through time I tried to let him go
Before I got hurt anymore
But he would suck me back in 
With just a phone call nothing more
Such a shame
Over more time I grew to except the fact I could never let him go
Till I stopped holding on
I started slowing taking my heart away
Piece by piece making sure it was safe
And now I see him and her and just smile
Because my emotions haven’t been in me for a while
And now after all that’s happened
All the tears that I cried
It finally never bothers me 
If he goes to sleep thinking about her at night

I'M Not Ready Part 1

Mother:

Shivering nights follow me as my stomach grows

I feel her inside me

I can picture her face, smile, personality

Worth such a huge future

But I couldn’t give it to her

I’m not ready…

He doesn’t want her

We couldn’t handle it

The pressure, the responsibility

And god the things that are happening to my body

I’m not ready

I’m not

My mom cries whenever she looks at me

My dad doesn’t even look

I couldn’t take care of her by myself

Maybe…maybe I can give her away

To a family that could love her until I’m ready

There’s so much I haven’t done

Goals I haven’t fulfilled

All my dreams are gone

Because of a mistake

A onetime mistake

I learned my lesson

But I can’t take care of this baby

She needs so much more,

She deserves so much more

I can’t let her come into this world like this

I’m not ready

 

Daughter:

Its ok mommy

You don’t have to worry

You’re not alone

I still love you

You can still follow your dreams if you try

And teach me how to do right

I’m going to be a sweet baby

People are going to call me your twin

Don’t you like the sound of that mommy?

I promise to do my best in everything

So I can make you proud mommy

When I come

We’ll have each other

And that’s all that's going to matter

We’ll prove everyone wrong

And do better than anyone expected

We can do it mommy

You can do it

I believe in you

 

Mother:

I can’t do this

I can’t

I’ll try again when I’m ready

It’s not even alive yet

So it’ll be ok

He said he would leave me

My dad said I was stupid

And my mom…

She had such high hopes and dreams for me

I can still do it

I can make them proud

But not with this thing growing in me

It’s ok

It can’t feel anything

And later on ill be the best mother ever

But not now

I’m not ready

I'M Not Ready Part 2

Daughter: 

Why?

Why did you do this to me?

I wasn’t ready to come out

And it hurt mommy

It hurt really badly

But then it stopped

You dumped me in a toilet

I didn’t even get a chance to say good bye

Why mommy?

What did I do wrong?

I loved you mommy

Didn’t you love me?

Didn’t you believe in me?

I promised I was going to make you proud

Did you think I couldn’t do it?

I sorry for not being good enough for you

I see you cry every night mommy, holding your stomach

More then you did when I was there

Everyone else seems happy but you

I wish you had let me be there for you

To love you unconditionally

But you didn’t want me to,

I noticed you never look in the mirror anymore

You don’t spend hours on your hair and makeup anymore

Remember how I was going to be your twin?

Is that why you never look?

Because of me?

Probably not

You don’t care about me

You killed me

Maybe you crying over daddy

He left you after you left me

I would’ve stayed mommy

I would’ve made sure you were happy

I would’ve loved you forever

But you didn’t give me a chance

 

Mother:  

I’m sorry

I’m so sorry

I messed up

They told me it wasn’t alive

But I saw the little body

Bloody, tiny, and helpless

I can’t do anything but cry

My boyfriend left me

My parents still won’t look at me

And now I’ve lost my only baby

I’m alone and empty

And a murderer

I didn’t even give her a chance

To see, breath, smile, cry, love, touch, smell, fail, succeed

To Live, and I regret it

Lets Say I Stopped Loving You

Let’s say I stopped loving you
Would you care?
If I looked you into the eyes then walked away
Would you just stand there? 
Then a few minutes later walk away
Or would you chase me down wanting me to stay?
Do you get concerned when I cry?
Do you think of me at night?
Are you happy I’m in your life?
Do you not care about my mistakes?
If we had to 
would you run away with me?
When it came down to it
Would you protect me?
Stay faithful to me?
Be there for me?
Love me?
Let’s say I stopped loving you
Because it was wasting my time
Every question I asked you didn’t answer right
You’ve failed the test
And excuses won’t save you this time
Because i"m no longer lustfully blind
I clearly see the truth
And there’s nothing you can do 
Lets say I stopped loving you
Because you wouldn’t care
I’m walking away
and I can already feel you just standing there
Preparing to move on
Because to you I'm not worth the chase
The tears on my cheeks don’t matter
Instead of being my protector 
You left me out in the cold
To defend on my own
You couldn’t stay faithful to me
You were never there for me
You never loved me
Let’s say I stopped loving you
Truth is I never started

One Too Many Times

Doy mi corazón a usted con la esperanza de que usted no perturbará como todos los demás. su muy importante para mí, pero con usted que se siente que pertenece,

At times I feel I’ve written one poem too many 
But it’s the only way it seems I can express how I feel 
I can’t explain it when I look at you
Because with you I never think
I just enjoy the moments I have with you
For every minute is precious to me
You know that I love you
I feel I tell you way too much
But tomorrows never promised
So I tell you just in chase tomorrow I never wake up
You know you’re my other half
But because of that I’m half empty when you’re gone
I’m fearfully addicted to your smile and your touch
You know all of this
Honestly you know too much
Ive told you my feelings, fears, hopes, dreams
And most things about me 
I stopped letting my heart open 
Because of all the times ive been betrayed
But not only did you open my heart up
But you came like a thief and took it all way
It for once feels safe
And although my mind still tries to play tricks on me
I know you mine to keep
My love for you is strong
Even once I stop showing it again
But always knows, imma ride with you till the end

When I Think of You

When I think of you

My heart pours out love

Uncontrollably,

Indescribably amazing

The thought of you brightens my day

Even when the worst has happened

You bring joy to my spirit in ways I can’t comprehend

And don’t try to understand

Because then the thrill might be gone

You smile…

Your smile is like a key to my secrets

It opens me in ways others never could

When you embrace me

I feel secure and wanted

And so vulnerable at times I have to let go

Just to gain control of the feelings inside me

You inspire me

To be all that I can be

Every moment spent with you is treasured incredibly

You mean so much to me

The love I feel is foreign but I enjoy every minute

And I hope it never has to end
