I Cannot Take You Back

By
Just because I said I miss you
Just because I said my heart still bleeds for yours
And my soul bleats  and aches for your tender embrace still
Even as my lips still feel the tender touch of yours
And my body remembers your warming touch as though it still feels it
Doesn't mean I'll take you back

Even as I still dream of a future filled with blissful happiness with you
And I can't help but gasp and hold my breath at your presence
Betrayed repeatedly by my heart as my mind bends its will the other way
Pushed and guided by pride and memory
I stand my ground and deny myself
I still love you my dashing ebony charm
But I cannot take you  back

Tears wet my pillows and stained the earth
Disappointments and lies clouded my trust for you
Hope for your redemption kept me by your side
Perfect as a protege's sonata was a symphony my heart played at the promise of glorious matrimony
But beneath all the desire and denial I knew it was all fable fabrication
We were perfect together
But we can no longer be as one
I cannot take you back

Love plays a cruel game of chance and choice
Those who loose cry a thousand woes
And those who win enjoy it in jubilant reverence
My love for you will forever be
But I cannot take you back.

No rush

By
 Walk a little slower, there's no rush. You ain't got anywhere to be, slow down. You know there isn't anyone waiting on you, You'll be dancing by yourself anyway, like always. But atleast you won't have to pretend anymore, You can finally let go and lose yourself. The four hours of sleep you'll get are enough to collect the pieces. Just enough to keep a smile on your face. The dark circles are almost invisible when you smile, Who cares if it won't reach your eyes, no one really notices anyway. So take the long way home, keep reality at bay. Just a little longer, fool the world a little longer, Lose yourself in the lie just a bit longer. No harm done. Walk a little slower, there's no rush. You ain't got nowhere to be, you might as well get lost.

Crashing waves

By
I’ve been hankering, I’ve been lacking  I’ve been trying to mask needing you  With every puff, every sip, every body I’ve been trying not to carry the weight of the world It only awakened me to deeper truths  Seeing it all and never doing anything  Endeavoring to shed light, trying constantly. We knew the world, we understood it. I wanted to build a fortress for us I wanted to build my life around you. But that obstacle tore us apart  I fell in your absence I fell into the universe and lost myself in spirituality The more I tried to run away from my destiny  The more I tried to fight being in the present  It only awakened me to deeper truths My higher self, my soul spoke to me. It revealed many but one, one was constant that I need you, that I needed my anchor  I’ve been through so much pain  With life turbulences and storms  These growing pains, these aches  They made me fight my true nature  Not to deny any aspects of me...

Truth Is

By
Truth is you're always on my mind. I haven't gotten over you, not even close. I still stretch out my arm reaching for you at night. I wake up with the taste of your name on my lips. At the most random times I feel the ghost of your touch on my hips. I smile and turn my head, but you aren't there anymore, You're just a memory, a dream turned into a nightmare A neverending nightmare filled with laughter and joy. You haunt me with your absence and taunt me with your presence. So close, yet ever so far out of reach. My reach. Seeing you happy tears me apart and brings me joy, It's all I ever wanted for you, but with me. Only with me. I still wonder where it all came apart, when did I lose you? I don't remember looking at you and not drowning in love, I thought you'd always be there to keep me afloat and weather this sea of love. But now you're no longer mine, you're the wind to his sails. You glide through these torturous waters and I dro...
