"you changed yourself and that changed me"

you didn't realize it, but our souls were intertwined. when you hurt, some part inside of me felt that same pain; even more so than you did, because it hurt me to see you hurt. and when you were smiling, my heart filled with warmth and happiness, because I knew how much you deserved that moment of serenity and joy. but when you changed, and disappeared suddenly, all I felt was nothingness because when you left, you took a part of me with you.

This doesn't have much of a structure, but I like it.

September

I haven't slept since September
Savoring a dream that I can no longer remember
Because the crows have picked me all but clean
Chipped away at flesh and bone
I'm naked and unseen
I think we're better off this way
Bare and cold and broken
The rains have fallen and then frozen
There's no smoke in the walkway
Just a ghost in the ashtray
Of a fading little ember
And the fleeting memory
Of the dream I had last September.

Not Everything needs a Title.

Colors that bleed never truly blend- I knew this so I dialed it back a bit- only hoping to catch you in passing.

Love ***** III

Love *****,
Because I thought I'd finally moved on,
Until I saw your name appear on my screen.
I could've sworn my heart skipped a beat.

~Always Last~

~No reason to fight,
Hang on tight.
We'll make it out of this mess,
If only we BOTH try our best.
What's in the past should stay in the past,
And our feelings of friendship should always last~

Freddie.

Is it because I'm black

Is it because I'm black

When the world is your enemy
And darkness runs the bit of world you befriended
What is there left to do
It's all down hill from here
The other day I watched my best friend get gunned down by a white man
Then blamed it on me imprisoning me for eleven years
But through it all I remained mute shocked puzzled wondering
Is it because I'm black
Or is it because some other unknown reason
This man took a life and I got in trouble for it
My friend is six feet underground and I'm behind bars!
Is it because I'm black god has forsaken me
Vengeance struck my soul
As destruction clouded my judgement
What did I do?
I hate you!
Forget this world!
I'm done
Smite me down I beg thee
This world is just not meant for me

Well I guess I'm bringing this series back

The "*****" Slave

"yas *****," I would say
Only to be dismissed away
Looking him in the eyes wondering
How dare you frown upon me
As if I'm the beast unseen
You came to my home stripped me of my joy
***** and killed my family
Holding me captive as a prison of war
How dare you frown upon me
As if I'm the beast unseen
You forced my daughter to cry
As you hauled off her last bit of hope
At least I have some dignity
Though it seems my pride has been lost deep within green
Where the blue skies don't feel darker than coal
How dare you frown upon me
As if I'm the beast unseen

Thinking Out Loud

Fateful

Those moments I remember
that still take my breath away
are in a dusty corner
where somtimes I wished they'd stay

Regardless of the season
or the time of day
I still can't piece together
the night things went astray

And in that dusty corner
I can feel your hand in mine
and see that haunted smile
that made my whole world shine

But no matter how I try
and no matter what I do
that fateful night in August
just keeps on blowing through

My memory keeps holding on
to the little things you'd do
like buying single roses
and singing I love you

And in that dusty corner
I find the foolish side of you
dancing like a wild fire
that quickly passed on through

Wherever I may travel
or what my road leads to
my heart remains in pieces
and I'm forever missing you

Those moments I remember
that still take my breath away
are in a dusty corner
and sometimes--- I wished they'd stay.

It is through our heartache that we become the person we are meant to be. A single moment can change the course of a person's life forever.
