poetry
not so innocent now, you’ve been used now you’re confused
her body’s been abused, for so long
I want to do what’s right and take my time to make you feel alright
backs turned after her every move
watering your roots again, you feel me pouring down
I’m watering your plant now, I know you feel it
you won’t understand now but give it some time I know you will heal it
you said we never made love
I had you right on top
you told them we were never exes
he picked you up the last time, you wanted to see me less
you blame me because of my past
I should’ve known that we wouldn’t last
stealing friends away, a drug to them
the devil to me
it’s hard to see you other than a memory
picked up my phone and never spoke once
you’re calling him nicknames, when I heard the information I knew I wasn’t insane
I knew I never should’ve trusted you with all convincing tries
knew I never should’ve trusted him with all these damning lies
you got the next best thing in your palm
imitation, selfish image, impersonation of your last love
I start to pray and don’t know what to say
a decaying flower in the grass
my bible hasn’t turned a page, I must find the words to say
mourning doves speak with chirps, my mind is filled up with wisdom
I’m a change of heart
I have no room to spare, you’re slowly withering away
but my heart won’t change without your presence
so kick me with your lustful lies, I know I’m not the one who stayed in charge
it’s all about the love we shared, you saved my life then slept with spares
I’m hurting bad, and I’m healing faster
my dreams are shattered but my life is ahead of itself
I’m living in a dead man’s body
my visions been clogging up for some time now
can I escape reality before my time is up
who did I die for?
who did I lose for?
how can I imagine this in another man’s innocence
my face is bloated from the trauma
my scars ain’t healing in his honor
I must shed my skin, while you hold me closer to a different life
visions cross my mind, I think of you all the time
I must find the truth so I could honor you
life is haunting, your presence is not
we live in a world of hate and have a savior of grace
I must find a way
you didn’t want to choose this life, you’re still figuring it out
separation from a lover is what we have in common
Imma hold you still, facing all of our fears
you don’t have to leave the world behind
don’t keep your heart three sizes too small
you have my all so read this story to the world
you got some weed to your side, having dreams about our night
how could you picture me with someone else?
deeper scars, you ran to me when times got hard
let me be your guide, I wanna choose universal life
mistakes will be made, but I will not judge you for the path you take
the past is behind us so let’s keep moving forward now
never rush let’s keep this hush
we’re still making our way around this world
with the whole world against my life, have the same one by your side
it’s the things I keep to myself, the things I’d rather not speak about
keep me awake
don’t end me too late
a promise comes with playing the game
I must keep on trying with all these rose thorns in my surroundings
i caught you with someone else, who’s the one being played?
sewed my heart shut, you didn’t flinch
your voice is so delegate with your whispers filled with negligence
I think it’s way too soon
was it all in my head?
they misled I sat there and bled
they always found a way to kill me
haunting my soul constantly
why can’t you say my name, the only time you slept with me was like a floating fantasy
you’re no weed, you’re ecstasy
you shut your lips when it was all said and done
it’s no longer in my head
you’re no longer in my bed
you’re always missing me, I know your passion was to kill my life
it’s all I had in my life, it’s part of the reason I trust
if this love was shared I wonder where I ended up
