My parents threw me to the pits When I was just a little kid That’s why I only know the cold And loving touch is stranglehold

Elaborate mazes Of conjured phrases Tickle the ear Of literary peers But don’t read the type

I loved someone and they hurt me They hurt me like I designed them… You don’t know hell Until you’ve created your own

If you’re satisfied with yourself And the world you live in, Is that your cue To start again?

I don’t see much the future I don’t remember past I only know this present A gift, that too, shall pass

You think I’ve got it all figured… I don’t know what’s more wrong I’ve only seen just a glimpse of… You’ve been Her all along

I’ve driven self along my quest I think it might be time for rest To take steps back and then assess What it might mean to be my best

I’ve never wrapped My mind around Making you feel Seen, heard, and found I didn’t know

Don’t give me your heart I can’t bear that pain Being lonely hurts less Than giving you my name

Walked a labyrinth And wrote a poem Then suddenly It all exploded

The only things I’ve ever felt Were lashing tongues and leather b… I guess that’s why it’s hard to te… How I could make you feel so swel…

Your face Transcends Garnish

She is the one I call my life And nothing like Her sweet and spice So if you want

Sittin’ in a patio chair Breathin’ in the cool night air Listening to the breeze Rustling leaves in trees I’m being the love of life

My baby’s got Curly red hair Shimmering eyes Freckles to spare Likes to play games
