What If

What if I took another turn
Walked up straight and never 
turn
What if I closed my ears that 
everytime you yell it echoes 
back in your head
What if my heart was made of 
steel That when its broken it 
never bend
and stand still 
What if this wasn't real
The feeling, and emotion
The action and drama all a 
fiction
What if I lied to my own self
This doesn't make any sense
Because  what's done is reality
All I just wish for is clarity
Some closure to hide this 
sorrow
Since every day its getting 
narrow

He Doesnt Love You If

He doesn't love you if...
He treats you like a sheep
Puts poison infront of you to drink
Shoves you against the wall while you weep
He looks you with lion fueled eyes
Smack your beautful face sore-dry
Tells he loves you when he lies
Punch your stomach with a fist force,
that you'd puke out yesterdays food
He shouts and pin poke ur forehead
Compress while that sad tear is shed 
He doesn't stop not even when you beg him to 
His anger has led  him into a gangsters room

Tomorrow he is  so remorseful,brushes ur hair and kisses you gently
telling you how pathetic and a jerk he is
Wrapping you all around him to soften up the shame
As much as the touch arouse and heat the  system in the love-cave
Don't give in, its deception
He will make love to you with intentions of making you forget
When the storm comes again he will dig you a whole and bury your remains
Like a dust in the surface you will no longer have a soul
He will squash your inner being and leave you a corpse
A part of you will forever be lost, because you allowed yourself to be a victim of abuse in the name of love
I understand maybe you are scared of loneliness and rejection
You value the time you have invested 
But it is not going to end 
Until you pack and never return
Maybe u fear nobody will ever love you again but trust me its not true
You are unique,beautful and a special woman, you deserve the best
The right love will find you again
And it won't leave you with scars and bruises in your beautful body
Never settle for less than your worth!

Gun and a Bullet Proof

Every soldier needs a gun and a bullet proof 
This is not a battle, but baby i need a hiding-head roof 
a gun, for power and ability to give out affection 
Bullet proof, for heartbreak control and soul protection 
a soldier like me must be armed with flexible minds 
Strong enough to defeat the changing times 
Today you are beautiful and loved 
Tomorrow who knows you would be pretty and naive 
every soldier needs a gun and a bullet proof 
A gun, to make a voice when you cannot be heard 
Bullet proof to accept response that is said 
Baby im not forcing things, I'm being prepared 
Who knows what's next,I can't be chained, i'm scared

Constant Love

I'm riding into a sinking boat
Into this sea its so deep, I 
drown
For these scars in me, I've 
fought
Struggled so today you see this 
crown
I'm laying underneath your 
shadow
That when you move I'm 
stucked within
Your compassion for me is 
narrow
Excrutiating so hard to fit in
This feeling is a burden for the 
soul
Yet music out loud in my ears
Loving you became a goal
A bridge, still I cross wth these 
fears
Within this wounded heart you 
are loved
Though these marks can't be 
removed

Ematiated Talent

You are just a girl..oh wait.... A mother!!!
with ceasing dreams
ematiated talent
fading destiny
repeated history
yet you never learn.....
You are just a girl...oh wait.....a mother!!!
almost forgotten responsibilities
of growing up with undefeated needs
binded in chains of uncertanities
lost in the ground where you would flash insecurities
You were just a girl
planted fatal seeds
shattered dreams 
played wrecklessly
you are fumbling with no direction
outreached the stage of progress due to age
you are still in the foundation phase
why  woman won’t you learn? why can’t you adapt?
You are just immarture but yet and adult
selfish and selfless
with hands and fingers you can not utilise on
consecutive erros you don’t acknowledge
wasted time you can never replace 
 I feel sorry for you mate ,
but thers still hope in regrets,
to fix the mistakes

My Power Point

My power point I lost
My ink to the roots of reality's 
closed
My stick to walk when the edges 
of my ankle sores
Sinking slowly in boat I've 
watched
My inner builder just a one 
faulty step it fell
Like winter tree leaves it blew 
away
As there were no foundation it 
never stood
Died like little rats poisoned in 
food
My power point I lost
In the heart it ache so bad I 
weep
With tears in my pillow can't 
sleep
So much of what I don't need
Planted in my path with a strong 
seed
Developing no matter how I try 
cut the ties

I Love You, But

I love you, but... 

I love u but there shouldnt be any BUTS 
I love u but, its this lost dignity to love that drives me NUTS 
I love you but, there should be no DOUBTS 
For love know no bounderies, should be dancing like friday NIGHTS 
I love you but 
Love alone is not efficient there'll always be misunderstanding and FIGHTS 
I love you but, complete and leave no space for DOUBTS 
Erase and limit all chances for those BUTS :) 
And i will love you still, but this time differently

Obsession

Losing my brains
Because of love I'm insane
Thoughts of him remain in the 
head
How on earth do i live again
How do I get it in my head his 
not the same
Fantasizing has just became a 
pain
Torture that's is so heavy to 
maintain
In finding his sight I lost my 
touch
So much now doesn't feel right
Maybe it was all in the head
The perfect picture I've drawn 
to everlast
It's painting so bright convinced 
me so fast
So ignorant and dump I got 
doomed loving a soul that is far 
to be zoomed

His Touch

Its sweet and tricky cushioned with compassion
Faded with dense affection
You sleep in a massage
compressed with love

His touch is smooth you swear you are inlove, and its nice
Little do you know
The touch can turn to ice
Freezing as snow

 A Touch so dry and warm at the same time
Its like a test of a season you mostly
Like
To stay throbbing in ice and cold
Or dance in the sun and be bold

Its your choice at the end you know?
To choose the touch you want to feel and know
Be it the one that makes you cry in closet
When its dark
Or the one that makes you feel closest
To finishing an ark
The one which will provide you safety to bounce

Let it be the one that makes you see stars during a random boring night
His touch should be relief to the constant pain of life 
Not addition to  the carved scars
Of an intended knife

Destiny

I have spent 1460 days chasing you 
When u play that hide and seek game, I start to panic as you forget I'm turning grey 

You told me before 
The desires we have contradict 
And I chose to ignore 
The seeds I needed for defeat 

Now I'm here once again 
Introducing myself like im insane 
As you already know my name 
Is it bound that things will be the same? 

Is it wrong that I long to finally touch you by my rough and swollen hands ? 
That have been twisted that every time I'm an inch close my mind bends 

Is it because you have a class or standard that i dont meet 
The mere fact that you are too difficult to greet 
Or I am too damaged to even be considered and fixed 

I'm talking to you Destiny 
Are you even listening?if so..... 
How long does one have to run and finish the race? 
I'm tired of running I really need to see your face
