Love

It's a feeling that words can't explain,
It's a desire that sometimes can't be contained,
It's worth more we often know but sometimes cost less than we show,
It's a motion for devotion,
It's often taken for-granted but never remains the same,
 We use it for fame and fortune when it's a treasure we all contain.
It's a simple four letter word but isn't as simple as it seems,
If you've ever been hurt you know exactly what I mean.

The Trap

I'm trapped once again in the memories,
of what was and what will happen.
I set the trap and always get lost
in the mental and material emotions.
I set the trap and always trap myself. 
It's like a trap for a rat i know ,
i'll die but i always take the risk,
the cheese just taste so good.

Now i'm dying, the blood is flowing out,
It's dark and lonely and i'm all alone,
My thoughts take over, my heart is still,
It's stop beating once again...
beep... beep....... no sound,
I'm dead!

Emotional Triangle

The love triangle has three angles
but my emotional triangle looks,
a little deform.
I'm left always picking up the,
pieces where there seems to be a hole,

My mind is confused, my heart
no longer feels for the pain,
was just to real.

My death is beckoning my life,
has just begun for in the,
darkness we all,
seem to find the light.

What

What does a man gain if he has the whole world but loses his own soul, You see everyone so entwined in the mysteries of the unknown that they forget about the discoveries of the known. Hold fast, let go, grab on and pull... You see we are so tangled in the everlasting lust that we forget about the everlasting love. The love that died on a cross a famous writer once said There is so much good in the worst of us and so much bad in the best of us it makes no sense to talk about the rest of us... Lust, ecstasy, power, hate, deceit all created for one purpose the evolution of the revolution of the destruction of man. So then what does a man gain if he has the whole world but loses his own soul....

Nailed

They Nailed me to the cross,
the cross of deceit and shame,
It went straight through my heart,
with blood flowing and my pulse
my pulse slowly fading
they laughed as they watched me die...
They tortured me and killed me, 
my soul was dead,
and my self esteem was low.
My eyes are tired and my heart,
my heart has given up it just wants 
to stop beating but the beating,
the beating just won't stop.

Society Lies

My best friend got raped by a man she knew
He covered her mouth and whispered in her ear and then he came inside her
Now we are sitting here without a plan wondering when or how are we supposed to get out of this mess
Waiting on her next period hoping that it came 
It’s 2012 and my family just got bigger 
An my brother in law whom I devoted my love too cause he was my brother 
Stretch out his hands and told me to be quiet and spoke words of distaste and now 
Tell no one for sure they would not understand 
Now my sister is pregnant and 
I’m too young to understand why it aches in my thighs but they won’t understand so I must lie, I must lie 
It’s 2015 and I’m dating a guy and I hold his hand and he whispers in my ears
But why does it still ache in my thighs so I lie because I must lie 
It’s 2018 and I’ll always be afraid of the fact that I can’t swim 
And the crash of every wave will forever haunt me in my sleep 
For as long as I live
It’s 2019 and I have a boyfriend and I live like a queen because I’ve been achieving my dreams
But the crash of the wave still haunts me in my dreams 
I’m invincible and so damn naïve I believed I was protected because I lived on a screen 
Because no one would dare violate me again 
I’ve earned that much
Until a man I don’t know touched my leg 
But I don’t want that I just wanted to wear my short dress
And I wake up the next morning and I find myself in a trance 
Because the crash of the wave still haunts me in my dreams 
And the boyfriend I have he won’t understand 
There is blood everywhere but is it mines
It’s just the death of yet another loves’ live
Hold on a minute.
I’ve worked every day of my life to be where I am 
I’ve pied the piper and lived out my dreams 
Decorated my pain 
And showed up in vain 
So what do you mean this happened to me 
You can’t put your hands on me 
I’m supposed to be safe now.
I’ve earned it.
And it’s 2020 and I’ve realized that nobody is safe as long as she is alive,
And every friend that I have has a story like mine
So listen and be a voice for those that have prisoned lips
Even for those that had to grow up to young
For every story counts,
For every voice should be heard
And every woman should be safe someday
But today isn’t that day and who knows when it would be!

Words

We speak them for that's all we know,
you spoke some promises for later we,
we would know,
but now is later and later no longer,
exist for your words were pure,
negative and mines were pure hate,
For now we have sinned once again,
back to the beginning.
Move forward... we don't understand,
the meaning... 
For words are just words and meanings,
are never meant,
for we never know what later means,
for it's always so bitter-sweet.

Befriended

She's the friend that listens but don't speak
that understands but don't teach
that holds you when you cry but never sheds a tear
see she's the friend that wants to speak
but cat's caught her tongue 
because the betrayal of her past lingers on 

She's the friend that gives advise she can't take 
because her boyfriends lies are more twisted 
than the knots in her hair 
she is the friend that says risk it all 
but denies it all
the friend that tells you dreams 
but is afraid to dream herself because they can become reality
because her nightmares all came to life 
she lives with them everyday 
She still believes in daydreams because shes a daydreamer

So she is the friend that is there 
but your the friend that isn't
your tongue is sharper than a two edged sword
tell lies that hurts deeper than the deep sea
because betrayal is your home
and she is the friend who lives there!

Bewitched

As his hands presses against my body like they knew all my curves,
He reaches out and caresses my body with every touch my body resist,
Doesn’t he know the meaning of No?
I wish my body would turn into water… Poseidon,
Take control of his soul like Hades, 
Watch him burn like fire,
Doesn’t he know my body is sacred?
Governed by all the Gods,
Treasured by all of the World,
Protected by Heracles,
But Not even the Gods could stop him…
For he knew what he wanted and bribed his way through,
Since when Gods took days off?
He snatched my soul with every stroke,
Devoured my walls with every inch of unprotected lust,
Then he watched me fade away like a drawing being erased because of its imperfection,
Blamed and drained me,
The God’s watched as he detained my soul and dragged me to hell,
Sold my soul for free “ a moment of pleasure”………

Box

She was locked in the box of her own emotions. The box she drew to keep herself safe locked her and she lost the key. She frantically looked but the darkness wouldn’t allow her to find it. It was dark and cold, as she shivered with the blast of the coldness she poured out of her soul. She stood there trying to find the key. To unlock the box of her soul to let herself free. For she was fed up of the coldness, the darkness for it started to get lonely. Everything she feared flashed at her as if it was the end of her life. She saw the happy memories fade away as she fought for simple things. She wanted to stop herself for as she looked back at it it was not important and she could have just shut it down but her soul was too cold to learn the truth of the heart. She feared loneliness, to feel unwanted and lost. So she did what she does best blame and frame. Hide and run away for that’s all she ever did run away from the monsters that devoured her soul because the thought of facing them conflicted with her breath of life. She found the key but she was borrowing it, for the key to her soul belonged to another soul. She got comfortable and  let her guard down and now she lost the key. This time she took responsibility and stood strong. She was glad she found a key for now she knew how to devour the monsters that wanted her soul. It wasn’t going to be easy but she was ready for a fight and she was ready to do anything to win the fight. But what she didn’t realize was that she will never win for the darkness and the coldness would conquer her mind and as it slowing runs through her veins it’s going to stop her heart from beating because when u play with fire you will get burn and how can you win when u were born to lose from the beginning because destiny hated you and wrote you down for a crime u did not commit so now she pays for it with her soul and the emptiness she feels is just the penalty, the unjust and harsh penalty  she has to pay for playing with fire she didn’t light.
