Deception

The smell of a delicate rose That scrapes a nose Flowers in Spring With a smell so obscene A taste of chocolate cake Causing a face to break It's like a walk on a cool beach That scorches the feet It can be just a step in warm water That freezes to ice Or a deserted Island That's no longer paradise Deception in love and life Is like getting married, to find no husband or wife It's a heart that loves unconditionally But is smashed so brutally A trusting heart, that's a beast in size Only 2 be beaten down, by tiny lies It's a deceptive shower in the month of May When all hoped for, was a brighter day Like freezing snow on a night of June When summer ended so very soon Swimming with dolphins, with no care Then spotting a shark there Like waiting Winter, each December And find out it's not coming, or didn't remember Deception has no regard for anyone or any things It destroys like a hurricane, then sings

Loving and Losing : a Part of Me Died When You Died

Losing someone is like losing the very breath u take to survive

Like holding in air, taking the deadliest,deepest dive

Like someone knocked all the air,better yet, the life out of ur life

Like they jabbed u in ur heart with the sharpest knife

The emptiness inside ur soul,makes ur blood run cold

Like red roses that stood high, that turn black, then fold

Lost without ur eyes, in a dark empty wood.

Grasping to reach anything u could.

Nothing in reach for u to hold close

No one around, when u need them the most

Nothing to warm ur heart & keep it beating steady

U didn't ask for this,unexpected, u weren't ready

It's like a stiffness in ur body,like ur growing old anew

No one around to console u

Ur at a loss for words

No chirping for black birds

Ur missing apart of u & inside's a hole

They used to stick with u,like a mole

Losing love is like losing ur mind

Every thought,but the reason, u still can't find

Enough memory to last ur lifetime,but they're still not there.

Ur mind is gone,but u can't think as to where.

A part of ur heart & mind have vanished with the lost of someone so dear

& u love them & miss them more with every tear

Thinking bout them, only makes it worse

It happened so quickly, u'd think it was a curse

Loving & losing a lover or a friend

Family, or next to kin

It's a universal emotion, which we all can relate

They accepted their fate

& we must face

We'll get through it at our own pace

Because we know , they're in a better  place

A Driving Force : a World Apart

We were like the sun in the month of May Now we're like June, with the sun gone astray Like Ice on a July mornin Now, we don't belong We were like sand on the beach; so cleansing & smoothe But now we're like the shore, that's washed away We used to be sunshine on a cloudy day Now we're like the clouds, Gloomy & gray We used to connect on so many different levels But now, we're so far apart, there's no reception Now we can't talk We have no connection Our bond was so strong it could not be broken Now it's broken down with words unspoken We used to finish eachother's sentences, but Now we speak a different language We used to care about eachother,but Now we care about ourselves We used to get eachother,but Now we get tired We used to work things out,but Now we're both fired Used to be in our own world,but Now we're on different planets Used to share a mind,but Now,our thoughts are hard to find We used to know eachother so very well,but Now we're strangers We used to be joined at the hip,but Now we're a thousand feet away No force could pull us apart Now a driving force has separated our conjoined heart. .

Beauty

They say Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder. ur beauty is a magnificent bright.A strong sight. & yet it gets bolder. Each glance of ur extravagant beauty. I shudder wit an uncalled duty. An uncontrollable effect of prescence & assets,I squirm into the pits,into the depts. I appreciate a beauty as fine as urs,its above the rest,its of an Eagle,it soars. I can't compare thou beauty,with anything less great, a lesser beauty shall not participate. Its damn near unapproachable,but extremely noticeable. A blind woman can see ur beauty.Without eyes,u can't mistake the beauty of the Earth's sunrise. Oh its no surprise,wats in thy eyes,a one of a kind beauty,that never dries. Ur beauty is pure,wit no additives. Rare is ur beauty, its hard 2 find. Its way beyond the surface,its ur heart,its ur mind.

Infinite Number of Beings In a Lonely World

Have u ever felt so alone?

I mean,ur surrounded by others,but they don't hear u.

They don't feel ur pain.

They don't take ur hand, when u reach out to them.

They don't want to.

They are selfish.

Have u ever felt like u were in another world?

Like u were being ignored?

Like u were invisible?

Like the pain & hurt inside of u is a punishment for what u have done?

But what u've done, u don't know.

Have u ever wondered, what did I do to deserve this?

Ur heart is beating so rapidly.

Ur heart is crying so loudly;but still, no one can hear it.

The people in ur world just seem like the walking dead,

They are there,but it's no interaction.

Or could u be the dead one?

& could it be that u need someone to touch u to make u feel alive again.

Has ur body ever screamed out "Touch Me! Touch Me!" ?

Has ur heart ever cried out "Love Me! Love Me!" ?

Has ur soul ever hummed "Take Me! Take!" ?

Loneliness is an illness.

We die of a lack of companionship & longing for another's touch.

One can not live in a world of one.

One will go insane.

& If u shall feel this way, should u be near the point of insanity?

One will go crazy or die if one holds in waste,that shall be released.

It's more healthy to let out, rather than keep in.

But if u can not find a reliable object to direct, it does ur mind,body,& soul no good.

There's only so many days that go by that u can be content with urself,b4 u erupt.

A healthy mind, needs converstation. Talking to urslelf is pure insanity.

A healthy body needs to be consoled,nurtured,held. There's only so long,u can touch urself,without coming to realization that it's u.

A healthy soul needs to be calmed & at ease.

A healthy mind needs to be stimulated,with thoughts of peacefulness. When alone for so long, ur mind has negative thoughts & feelings.

Everyone seeks companionship,friendship,& a just a shoulder to cry on.

Most ppl have a cold shoulder or turn their back on a friend in need.

I just wanna know,is there anybody lonely out there?

Longing for someone to hold.

Growing out of patience, with no one to reach out to?

A room full of ppl,& u still feel alone?

Everybody needs somebody.

It really does take two.

Out of these many people in this whole wide world,Y do I feel so alone at times?

How can someone feel so alone in this world of infinite beings?

Its a question u've become all too familiar with.

& the answer is. .

Hurt: a Non-Curable Disease

It hurts, it hurts like hell For someone to hurt u, That u thought, u knew so well I can't explain the pain It hurts in every vein Everything's a lie All u can do is cry Cry so hard, ur eyes & head hurt Tears all on ur face & shirt Could it get any worse? It's just a curse Hurt seems to be a disease That grows on u with ease Inside, slowly dyin Symptoms are a broken heart & excessive cryin Like ur eyes are bleedin non stop & ur knees weak, u just drop U just wana be cured, it seems to never heal U wana be assured, that love is real U wonder, how does love feel U've forgotten the feeling of the real deal Ur so hurt, that ur heart goes numb But u still feel that hurt,sting, like a prick of a thumb Gosh, it's an unbearable feeling & everyday, u hurt more, instead of healing As soon as u get the least bit of relief Another bomb is dropped on ur heart & it's back to grief U wonder when will it stop, when will the pain go away? It's no medicine for it, so all u do is pray...

Deep

I'm dying inside. 
Shredding to pieces. 
Open me up. 
There's a dark empty hole. 
Deep enough to bury a thousand souls. 
The remains of a thousand lifetimes,lay bare,unyeilding. 
Fatally murdered by love. 
Love lost and not returned to sender. 
Painfull enough,one by one, surrender. 
I'm crying as I cringe in fear or getting deeper. 
I pay no soul. 
The cost of life; much cheaper. 
Cold and empty; with days 
Gets much colder. 
If my head had a heart,I'd lay it on my shoulder. 
Once unbareable,but it hurts no more. 
Just to remember love, 
I'd patch my heart and leave a sore. 
Numbness hurts even more. 
No feeling to explore. 
Just a memory of what was in your chest, 
Now in your head. 
I'd rather hurt, 
Than be dead. 
It's painful memories, 
But only in ur brain, 
If ur heart had sensation, 
U'd feel the pain. 
Ur paralyzed in a sense, 
Yet there's no sense of feeling there. 
Ur brain appears disconnected from ur heart and body 
So there's no feeling anywhere but up there. 
Dying of love,with no possible cure. 
And ur so deep, 
U can no longer endure. 
So u've lost. 
And only can remember what was 
As if love were a crime, 
And now u have to pay the cost. 
An endless rope can't pull u free 
Ur in love deep & dangerously. 
Painful memories. 
An indication of a hole so deep, a thousand lovers can't fill

Hard To Put a Finger On

I used 2 be so in touch with my feelings, but now I can't touch my feelings. I can't feel my feelings, if that makes sense. It's hard 2 put a finger on how I feel I'm just goin through the motions, with no emotions Is this real? Is it a dream, cuz I can't feel anything I'm blank inside, if u know what I mean Could I be sad? I don't know, cuz I feel no tears down my cheek Am I mad? My feelings are playing hide & seek Could I be hurt deep inside, sittin here while my soul cries I could be heartbroken, waiting til each feeling dies I really don't know how I feel My soul's confused & doesn't know which feeling 2 choose .

The Connection

There was an instant connection, Thru the first bars & lines, as I gained mobile reception, Eyes glowin in excitement, Body growin from enticement, As my fingers moved swiftly thru the keys, My fingertips tingled, My soul at ease, U were a breath of fresh air, It was like we'd met before, I swear, It felt like deja vu, Everything u'd say, It felt like a reminder of what I'd been thru, The feeling I felt, it's like nothing I can describe, The amount we had in common was uncanny, From our beliefs, Down to our relationships with our family, I was amazed how words could have such an effect through a screen, But I was touched in every way from my head to my spleen, I'd imagine u whispering those words softly in my ear, & with every message u sent, thru my heart, It was clear, Falling for u had I not seen u in front of me, I'd ask myself, Was it crazy, Then u'd convince me not, that it was just the divine connection we shared, & Question God, I had not dared, I knew it was a reason for ur placement in my life, I'd not encountered u, without some sacrifice, God taketh away, & he'd given me, u The reason ur here, we shall see in a few, A great friend u'll always stay, & I'll still think of u,everyday, Though, our plan is to meet sooner or later, But each day, my anticipation grows greater, My mind wonders what will come of this, Will we get one another? Will God transform u, from my friend, to my lover?

Still

I'm living in the past. 
I'm goin nowhere fast. 
This concept of life, I can't seem 2 grasp. 
I'm reaching, I'm reaching, I can't catch a break 
It's like im sleeping, & can't seem 2 wake. 
I call & call on God, but no answer 
How much does it take? 
I pray, day 2 day for heaven's sake 
Painful memories of the past, 
I can't seem to shake 
It's like im walking, running, in place. 
Regret haunts me 
He stares me in the face. 
I can't fight him off, 
I have no mase. 
I'm standing still in a memory pit 
I'm daydreaming, 
Reality hasn't hit. 
I wonder what if 
What coulve been 
I need to smell the coffee, just a wiff 
I swear, I can't win. 
Save me from the postion im in 
At a standstill, 
Yet my mind is moving 
I just need the courage, the will 
I need 2 move forward, but I fear losing
