What a kiss cannot say
I can
What I cannot say

What you cannot say
Is that you love
What you cannot love
Is myself
What I cannot love
Is the poison in your love
What your poison kills
Are my dreams
What my dreams kill
Is my reality
What my reality kills
Is my speech
What my lack of speech takes away
Is my words
And what words cannot say
A kiss can

To detection,
Cause you're running
One direction.
This is stupid.
And it's endless.
We're still fighting.
Now we're friendless.
We're just sitting,
And they're crying.
Just as much if
They were dying.
It's a new day,
But I don't care,
Cause our problems…
They are still there.
Is it over?
Cause I'm tired.
At my job I
Just got fired.
This is bad luck.
Can I take it?
Is there strength left?
Can I make it?
There is sorrow,
But you smile.
"Let's be happy
For a while."
There is still hope
For survival.
It will take some
Strong revival.
So it's okay,
And we'll be fine,
Dying AliveIt’s not that I want to dieDying Alive in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
I just cannot enjoy this life
Every night I sit and cry
And contemplate this strife
I'm falling down into a well
Into a blackened pit
The water at the bottom swells
While drowning, here I sit
All my wounds are festering
The pains of life keep going
These cruel words still are pestering
As tears continue flowing
The water now is getting deep
I find I cannot breathe
I smile in eternal sleep
No longer shall I seethe

Summer sun shines brightly down
The world’s great beauty
Late afternoon sun
Grass makes shadows on my book
But sunlight is much greater
Black dot by my ear
A shrill annoying buzzing
Be gone mosquito
Little tiny ant
Up and down the leaf you run
Why such a hurry
Time is slowing down
As I am waiting for it
Why is air so still

an inkling of truth
an unspoken lie
that made me falter
let it be true
this clock hangs upon this wall
suicide green
hands erect
like he knows something
unclean
just handing out his lie
Everyone who knows him
wonders why
why he is there
but I know his secret
for it is I who hung him there
and his lying smile reminds me

Our hearts are under
PRESSURE
Well does it all get better?
No
No
No no no
Your body’s still a treasure
that words could never measure
And how many times has love just let you down?
your feeling less than wanted
your love has all been shunted
Your good enough to be
Why can’t anybody see?
How can a frown be turned around?
Is it anybody’s place
to put love on your face?
Love is all around you
but sometimes it’s just too LOUD
Feeling hurt

I AM EVERYTHING
you’re thinking about...
So why don’t you want me?

I breathe at last

Feelings so cheap
They’ve been used like a mat
too often to transpire
Filling up with
malice and ire
Free to take this life
Free to make it right

Where we all meet
Have you asked for
forgiveness yet
or are your hands
still trembling
still filled with rage
for a life unwanted
A pronouncement you never needed

Something cold and jagged
the march to the pen

like nails hung up on
I’m going back
Everything else

but the penance is due
unlovable
it’s what we are to you

a well of ungladness
sinking the Earth
so unfree

with all the drives
of other men
and women
but grey
and shaded out
we settle
or just die out
our stars are not as bright
Too sad to cryHow much do you need love?Too sad to cry in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
think of someone with nothing there
Think of how it feels inside
and someone who has no one to care
That happiness you feel
is like a void pressing against their skin
The moments that you share
are the tarnish to their tin
They walk each day
a smile brightly plastered on their face
and when they go home at night
they just sit there and wait
Doom is not a good friend
but he comes every night
to sit and talk
for a while
He brings some tea
and thoughts to entertain
like suicide
and cutting pain
and worthlessness
and everything
they do not have
He's like the MOB
he makes you feel good

Dear DiaryDear diary,Dear Diary in Philosophy & Perspectives More Like This
I am writing to inform you that I will no longer be keeping up with you. I’m sick of all the pathetic crap I put in here and the whining about being alone. Ironically. as I thumb through these pages this appears to be my most positive entry because I am finally going to do something about my pathetic existence. I have decided that no woman is ever going to just realize... “Hey... he’s a great guy... maybe I should date him...” I’ve also decided that eating is more a way to make me even less attractive and so I’ve stopped that. I feel I’ve explored all my options in my ramblings th
Love, Anger, RegretWhispering in each other's earsLove, Anger, Regret in Songs & Lyrics More Like This
Confiding our hopes
Confiding our fears
Praying for you
To never be away
For if you ever are
I'll be in such misery that day.
Foolish I was
But too unforgiving were you
So now we're separated
By what we've both misstated
And it's not distance
That is keeping us apart
It's our stubborn pride
And our hurting hearts.
Tired of fighting
But it's so hard to try
To get you to listen
When thing have gone so awry.
I'm sweating and stressing
So tired of guessing
Of ways we can get back to where we were.
We hold each other close
Then we pull away again
Loving and hating
It's a cycle we can't end.
I Will FightMy heart you try to break,I Will Fight in Free Verse More Like This
My mind you try to take,
But I refuse to let go.
Assaulted day and night,
Fighting a hopeless fight,
But I refuse to surrender.
My soul you try to steal,
You lie about what's real,
But I refuse to give in.
Your strength is like an endless flood,
It leaves me hurt and soaked in blood,
But I refuse to let you take me.
Screamed so much I lost my voice,
But giving in was never a choice,
And I refuse to become you.
Desperate PleaLosing myself in thought,Desperate Plea in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
Losing my mind in nightmares.
So scared that it's,
Coming back for me.
Holding it together,
Was all I could manage.
But now it's stronger,
And I cannot stop it alone.
For so long,
I've been falling to pieces.
Now in this desprate hour,
I'm falling into your arms.
Shield me not from myself,
But others from me.
Their lives over mine,
As it should be.
I'm not asking for love,
Nor any romance.
I'm coming to you,
Because you're my only chance.
I will give you my mind,
Though you need not know it.
I will give you my soul,
And never ask for it back.
Please, accept my plea,
My only hope is in you.
AbsurdI try to lift your hopes,Absurd in Songs & Lyrics More Like This
I try to lift your head.
I work so hard to save you,
But you give up instead.
I speak hopes into your ear,
But you only focus on fear.
I don't scream at you,
Like I know others would do.
But I'm starting to wonder if I should.
Then again, I don't think I ever could.
You disregard every word,
You're being so absurd.
And yet I stick by your side,
I try to guide you, but you just hide.
I offer my hopeful hand,
But it seems that's not something you can understand.
Passing Before MeSitting next to you,Passing Before Me in Free Verse More Like This
As you lay in robes of white,
On a hospital bed,
I pray you'll be alright.
But you lay dying,
Nothing I can do but cry.
I want to promise that you'll live,
But final words should never lie.
I speak of old times,
You reach for my hand.
I hold it tight,
But cannot understand.
So undeserving,
My life for yours.
Didn't think we were so close,
But this opens so many doors.
I start to cry once more,
Then I feel your hand grow weak.
I look up in fear,
And try to get you to speak.
Your breathing, so shallow,
The monitor beeps slowly now.
It all came down to this,
But I wasn't sure how.

I've got to move on.
With or without me,
You'll see the next dawn.
It's been so long,
Since we've been apart.
It's been so long,
Since I broke a heart.
It's not something I want to do,
But it simply must be done.
I've got to say goodbye to you,
Before the setting sun.
I run up and give a final goodbye,
But you look away and refuse to reply.
So many tears pouring down,
I'm so worried you're going to drown.
To pull apart after being so close,
It seems to be such a lethal dose.
Once intoxicated by our passion,
Now it seems it's nothing but crashin'.
We watch each other fade,
And silently we say;
