I wish I could give you my mind
Because without you I'll lose it anyway
And I wish I could give you my soul
Because without you it's torn and blackened

Lies To MyselfAs I'm watching the screenLies To Myself4 years ago in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
Something wells up within my chest
I see the words
The thoughts in my head
The words
The thoughts
They lie to me
To the world
I wish to destroy them
To rid myself of them
The urge swells through me
To raise my fist
To blot these evils from existence
Some sense of sanity presses on my mind
I'd left for a moment
But once again
I'm back within myself
Just waiting
For the moment I leave
And never return

Beating against my chest
Over and over again it's tried
Locked away
It's trapped inside
In this box without a key

One day my love
I'll rip this heart right out of me

UnderstandingI don't want to understandUnderstanding4 years ago in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
How people work.
I don't want to know how you think,
Or why you think it.
I just want to know you.
Yet for some reason,
I can't help but try to understand.
To try and get into your mind,
Into your head.
To see through your eyes,
To have a greater understanding of life,
The universe,
And everything.
So I dig deeper and deeper.
Not knowing if I'll like what I find,
Or if I'll find anything at all.

Friend Of A FriendI wonder where he isFriend Of A Friend4 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
The boy who shot her dead
He aimed a gun and pulled the trigger
A single bullet to her head
As I look around the room
I can't find his face
The face of a young killer
Or just a boy in the wrong place
I wish I could tell him
Tell him I hate his guts
And not to play with guns
But I'm sure he's heard enough
He was a friend of hers
Maybe I should be to him
He probably needs one now
A friend of a friend

That I can't be your Romeo
But I haven't got the guts to do it
So I guess you'll have to wait.
I can't kill myself,
So I pray that you awake
Though I know it's no vial of poison

This one is forever
No awakening to see
My body crumpled on the floor
In the crypt at your feet.
Sleep now my darling
I'll wait here at your bedside
The one you will never leave
And wait to die, Dear Juliet

Reinventing the UniverseIt is with light which we see the world.Reinventing the Universe4 years ago in Philosophical More Like This
Light reflects off an object and to our eyes.
Our eyes send messages to our brain, to perceive our surroundings.
Then, is not the entire universe contained within our mind? Within us?
We, each and individually, are the universe.

Room AloneA couple looking for a seatRoom Alone4 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
I'd gladly give them mine
But just not this time
Today I need my space
Some room to be alone
I don't want to talk
Not even on the phone
Over the internet might be okay
Because my feelings won't be shown
So leave me be for now
I'll talk with you tomorrow
It's not that I don't like you
I just can't take this sorrow
