Missing Something

I’m missing him and I don’t want to be having these feelings
I’m missing him despite the shit he put me through
No I won’t go back I don’t believe in taking steps backwards
I just want this damn longing to stop
Cut my heart out and place it on the ground
To be stomped on all over again damn him
and I am damned for thinking of him
I’m missing him, gotta get that poison out of my system
How do I do it what’s going to erase his face, his touch
The way we made love
I hear a song and suddenly I’m reliving memories of him
I’m insane I have to be for these feelings to be in control of me
No I won’t go back I don’t believe in taking steps backwards
I’m missing him and I hate myself for this weakness
I need to purge him from my soul
Is he facing this agony too?
Or is out of sight out of mind
I’m missing him but not for long

Too Late

Are you missing me?
Do you miss the sound of my voice?
The perfume I use to wear
 Late at night do you run your hand across?
 The empty side of the bed where my
 Body once laid close next to yours
Am I haunting your dreams while you’re awake?
Can you still see the look?
In my eyes when you looked my
Way but didn’t say goodbye
Walked away from a God given treasure

Yes, it’s too late
I’m a distant memory
It will never be too late
I’ll make her mine again

He cried silent tears realizing
The mistake he made
Head bowed in defeat
Wishing he could take back everything
Cruel words spoken in ignorance
Her perfumed lingered in the air
Made him feel lesser than a dog
Treating her with such disregard
Yes he was the fool to throw away
His God given treasure

Yes, it’s too late
I’m a distant memory
It will never be too late
I’ll make her mine again

I gave you my heart and soul
Stood by you
Loved you unconditionally
Bathe you with my tears
Dried you my concern
And in the end you said
Nothing, not even thanks

Yes, it’s too late
I’m a distant memory
It will never be too late
I’ll make her mine again

He couldn’t give his heart
He didn’t possess one
She tried to teach him the meaning of love
He mistook it for a weakness
It was his foolish pride that
Kept him from acknowledging her

Yes, it’s too late
I’m a distant memory
It will never be too late
I’ll make her mine again






Beautiful Liar



Blinded to the truth
Eclipsed behind a disguise
Angelic persona
Utilize to hide
Transform to devil
Ignorant of its evil
Felicity taken away
Umbrage building to a crescendo
Lulling into false security

Loathe an existence
Irrational behavior
Autonomous narcissistic
Reflect deceptive beauty of
          Beautiful Liar

Make Believe

It’s getting harder
 to keep my feelings hidden
Outside I smile, 
inside I’m dying, Pretend

Deaf tears I cry, 
each intake of breath 
I’m wishing
were my last, Pretend

Why is it that I’ve fallen
 and I look for rest to siege
Me in its arms, Pretend

I wear a mask no
 one can penetrate
My eyes are soulless, Pretend

To match a spirit held in an
Arroyo deserted 
and forgotten, Pretend

I hear words spoken 
saying never give in
Yet there said 
in a whisper, Pretend 

Fool to think my 
feelings are put first
A lie I’m told to keep
 me satisfied, Pretend

Stand strong 
stand alone, Pretend
On a ledge I totter, 
the fall forever
To eternity, Pretend

Hoodwink

who are you to have the world so fooled
buying into your lies
damn the disguise
you wear it so well a real cool veil
no one even bothers to stop
and take a closer look
your smile so serene
in your hand you bleed the blood
of those you've
fooled, tricked, bamboozled
who are you to have the world so fooled
the universe rocks with your deception
the words you speak are super sleek and slimy
and damn grimy and
yet you get away with
stepping on feelings wrapping your lies
so skillful in honey
the image portrayed have those believing you're a god
when you're a fraud
the truth will be revealed and you'll be left
standing in an empty field surrounded
by those you hurt ready to give back justice
well deserved

Decisions

Doughty choices not committal to the grave
Epoch of emotions ageless as time
Contagion of despair touches us all
Idiom of words not making sense
Sublime affirmation trusting in paroxysm of untruths
Immersed in making sense out of nothing
Opulent opinion of one’s self   
Nonentity thoughts divulge ignorance
Surrealistic end to painful
DECISIONS


Running Away To Something

Tears falling I don’t even know why
All the pain you caused me and here
I sit crying because of something lost
Broken heart will heal
Soul comforted
Spirit rejoined
In all that’s transpired I still question why
If your love for me was real than why
Am I soaked in tears?
Washing my body clean of
Any memories of you
If it was that easy
What’s going to erased them from
My mind
Running away, running to something
Believing there is a future where
I can survive without you
Maybe the memories will never
Be completely exorcised
