Mother

 There's little to no words to describe you. To describe the strength you carry without boasting , To describe the power you possess without pride. Always with humbling humility you serve without asking. You are the embodiment of phenomenal and grace. Your selflessness is without bounds, it sometimes drives me mad, And yet it is your most beautiful quality and it humbles me still. The smile you wear on your face through tribulation and truimph is flawless, True in every essence of the word and it shines through without fault. The grandness of your heart fills me with tears of joyful pride, It holds so much love, care, kindness and genuine affection, It's a wonder you aren't glowing. All these words I've written will never be enough to express my truest emotions Because there's little to no words to describe you. You are mother, precious and beautiful. I love you wholeheartedly and without doubt.

Truth Is

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...

Only My Hands Can Explain These Tears

I am one of those ever smiling people, never sad and never angry. I float and drift through the sun's hours with happiness on my face. I wave, laugh and tell a dozen jokes to blind witnesses who see but don't really see. I move from crowd to crowd, wondering and searching for one who'll actually look. But no one seems to notice, no one seems to care So only these hands of mine can explain the tears I shed. When the sun recedes to rest and prepare for the morrow. I too rest my smile and brick by brick tear down my walls. I put away the memories I carry to stretch my face and hide my pain. I shelve away what strength I have and hope it'll be enough to carry me still. I look in the mirror and the nile flows in graceful streams down my face. The dull eyes staring back are that of a well known stranger. And the hands reaching up to offer comfort are stranger still. The sobs that wreak through my battered body go unseen. The violent trembling barely hidden und...

Would You Stay

Would you stay with me even if... Even if we weren't even, I mean Would you love me even when I no longer say it? When my fears consume me and I run When I lose myself to insecurities not cured When my will falters and I seek escape Could you really handle my inconsistency Coz I won't lie to you, I'm an emotional pendulum Never the same long enough to enjoy I'll twist your thoughts and turn your heart I'll test your patience to the extreme, and then some I'll beg to be the center of your universe To be the sun to your solar system and yet I'll treat you like Pluto, unsure of what you are Yet refusing to let you leave my orbit. I can be selfless, selflessly selfish I'll love you like no other and show you the rarest wonders I'll win you, mind, body and soul I'll bury them up so deep down, you'd drown before you reach them I'll embed myself so deeply into you, I'll echo always Even in my absence I'll echo, ever...

It's all right little boy

It's all right little boy, It's alright fragile heart The pain will go away at some point Give it time, it has healing powers. But it's not strong enough, not even close The pain is only gettin worse, festering and growing It's almost all I know anymore The smiles and laughs are harder to pronounce now This deep craving for attention is all consuning Yet I'm always alone, even surrounded I'm alone It's all just a bit much for me You aren't there to hold me up You aren't here to brush my tears away You aren't here to say it's all right You have my heart and I have your absence

Love me anyway

Look at me, I am flawed. I don't have perfect rows of pearly white teeth They're stained a bit yellow even thou I brush every day. My body isn't all too great either I don't have a six pack and my chest is flat, I let it be. My voice sure as hell isn't going to make you swoon It's raspy and out of tune and my singing might kill you. What I am saying is, I am not perfect but love me anyway. My mind is rather dirty, it sees and imagines a lot I can't control it but I promise I am very loyal. My heart is riddled with fear, pain, and suffering Yet I'm still willing to love and trust, I'm actually very eager So please don't take my senile narcism as reject. I'm projecting. I can't really promise you that we'll last forever I can only love you and hope that will be enough for you to stay What I am saying is I'm not the greatest boyfriend but please love me anyway. I am very insecure, needy and clingy I can't help ...
