Do you exist?Can i ask you a question?Do you exist?3 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
do you really exist?
'cause ive travelled the world
but its you that ive missed
Maybe i am impatient
But the wait has been years
filled with days of confusion
and with nights full of tears
and each day i grow older
witnessing my youth pass
as i sit here alone
with this question to ask
but your answer is silence
if you even reply
so dont blame me for thinking
that your really a lie
just a thought in my head
that i can not resist
so please answer this question
do you really exist?

there are 88 keys on my piano
and they all play for me
don't you know
that they all play for me now
and six strings
strung on my guitar right here
playing rhythm in my ear
it still plays for me now
the same strings
that played i love you before,
that begged you at your front door,
play,
i don't love you anymore.
the same keys
that you always chose to ignore,
that played for a heart till it tore,
play,
i don't love you anymore.
did you know
the music can play through to my soul
and into my heart

that it still plays for me now

UncertaintyHave you ever laid in the middle of a roomUncertainty3 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
and watched the ceiling fan go round and round
and wondered if it really spun up there for you
or if you were spinning around down on the ground
id like to think the world could be that way
mysterious and not all figured out
that maybe we could not have all the answers for a day
we could just fill our heads up with some doubt
then maybe i wouldn't feel so differently
because uncertainty is what i feel when im with you
the mystic feeling like anything can come to be
like my dreams that I once had are coming true
Love was hereYou saw the oceanLove was here11 months ago in Songs & Lyrics More Like This
while I saw the shore.
Looking in your eyes, you were looking out for more.
I gave you a home
and with it a door.
I guess you just didn't belong here anymore.
Saw it in your eyes,
you needed to break out.
Another day away from the next big beggining,
never settle down, while the world is spinning.
But, while your away just promise you'll
remember me here.
I wrote you a letter
to places unknown.
It's waiting by the front door for when you get home.
But, I'm moving on,
no more waiting by the phone.
I guess I'm just tired of falling asleep alone.
And it's no surpise,
I needed to break out.

Can You Bring Me Back?The last time I fell was the hardest.Can You Bring Me Back?8 months ago in Songs & Lyrics More Like This
It left me so broken and bruised.
I ran from the feelings that consumed me
when my heart became lost and confused.
When I'm lost I don't want to be lonely.
But, when in love I panic and run.
So, I turned off my heart to the feeling
to stop conflict before it's begun.
Now in the dark, what do I do
When I wonder why I ran from you?
and fell into this dark depressing hole.
This callused heart, it's out of love.
Will you lift me up, pull me up above?
Please, hold me here just long enough
for the love to seep back in.
Hold me tight and don't let me go.
One more time so again I'll know

I start to move forward

im caught in the middle

it always looks so good
but i cant forget

I spend my days trying to forget
And never call your name
But, every night i lay my head
My thoughts are still the same
So, how do I move on

could change all these bittersweet existences
i could throw a couples stones

sit back and watch the ripples as they slowly start to flow
cause i

why am i in this room
slowly rotting in this tomb
why is this gloomy world begging me not bloom

but someday the night will open up to another dawn
and i

Broken and BeautifulI knew a girlBroken and Beautiful2 years ago in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
broken and beautiful
such hardships she had seen
from a small town far to north
she lost her mother at thirteen
Before that point the life she knew
was stable and fairly routine
with enough love for all of us
the word family held its meaning
After the cancer came and went
the family drifted apart
crossing states she landed in H-Town
expected to make a new start
But H-town isn't a place for new starts
and hardly a small town
all she really wanted to do
was catch a train back round
Only back around
wasn't where she left it
with hands to hold her down
she ended up once again
right back in H-Town

Lies a road to clarity
If you wish to proceed
It travels through obscurity
And just next to sincerity
But could end in disparity
If you do not succeed
Dusty road of loveI wonder how far do I have to walk,Dusty road of love2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
To just understand how you're feeling.
Will it be a thousand miles,
Will it be a million?
I walk, I walk , and I walk,
Down this sunny, dusty trail
Do you even know if I will fail?
The road will be long, lonely, and hard,
I am willing to take that only if you are willing
To just give me a piece of your love shard.
There will be beatings, muggings, and unreasonable doubt
But can it help bring water into my heart's drought?
So I walk, I walk, and I walk,
To god knows where...
Not even him can answer my prayer.

i was just starting out in school
just one of the growing kids
not caring bout all the rules
recess was the hot spot for us
chilling out on the playground

stick around for the rebound
now days the world aint so nice
as it was when we were all young
the basketball in ones hand
became a clip in ones gun
and the places that we once lived
are now pictures in a box
the door on our old front porch
is now all covered in locks
remember when movies with friends
became just parties with homies
and when the bikes that we rode
became cars
or when our summer vacation

Monochromes, blank and false smiles,
A place of dark deceit, all these lies,
Shed my outside layers, look inside,
Become one with my pure inner self,
Fly on light wings through the sky,
A sky unclouded, clear and bright,
To a place of my own imagination,
A place generated from my fantasies,
A place with earth, water, fire, and air,
Cold can be hot, and hot can be cold,
The land of ultimate natural equilibrium,
A place of silver moons and golden suns,
Diamond stars set in a dark velvet tapestry,
Where thunder and lightning are at peace,
Where the grass grows greener without

After tears are shed
And blood is spilt
You figure out the truth
After lies run out
And feelings are hurt
You find regret ironic
After it doesn't matter
And no one cares
You live life painfully
After you've done wrong
And your days are numbered
Don't Fear, My loveShe sits in the darkDon't Fear, My love3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Her breath is weakening
With every scream uttered
Her heart is pounding
Echoing inside her head.
She tries to stay focused
Yet all she beholds
Is the void confining her
Trapping her body
Weakening her mind.
It seems like forever
That she last saw the light
Her skin once so soft
Is now cold as a stone
What has she done?
She cannot remember
The most simple sound
As a staggering silence
Is her only company
What has gone wrong?
Suddenly the silence breaks
A creaking sound nearby
Footsteps coming slowly
Time stops, she cannot breathe
Her fate is near , the door opens.
A shadow advances on her

Burning MeltingThe burning metal was placed onto my skin,Burning Melting2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Breaking off one by one each piece of my limb,
Making my heart break into two,
Oh god save me I don't know what to do.
I hate myself,
Yeah that's right it's true.
So why don't you take the rest of my body I am forgotten,
I know deep down I am nothing but rotten.
No one wants me,
And no one cares,
If do find someone like that it would be rare.
So take the burning metal and fill me with pain,
Making my blood mix in with the rain,
I will lay on the ground and smile in satisfaction,
I do not regret any of my actions.

Golden curls falling around her
Six years of innocence and bliss
Her life unfolding like the petals of a flower
This girl is laughing, full of joy
She trusts all for she knows no other way
But soon the storm will overtake her sun
And she'll never forget that fateful day
His voice, not so different from hers, it called
Slowly, he made her lie and wait
Wide-eyed, trembling, fearful, and ashamed
She couldn't have known it was too late
There was no one to rescue this girl
No protection from the demons in the dark
Alone in a world she did not understand
Of her, he had taken and destroyed every p

and my bedroom roof
was thin.
In the summer,
the bending flowers told of
the coming storm,
they darkened to black
with the night.
I slept knowing
it would rain,
but never how hard
until I was woken
by sheets of water
washing over the roof.
I stood on my bed,
and pressed my hand
on the ceiling, and felt
the cold water,
a warning that the storm
would come in.
I waited for the water
to run down my window,
twisting small rivers on
the glass, becoming a
dark mirror of my room.
I opened the window,
and held out my hands
and drank from the night.
The storm laid on the roof,
