a tweety bird came into my room
told me she was waitin in her room
all by herself listenin to Drake’s Marvin’s Room
thinking about old memories of past June
when we used to go by the beach
and lay down until the ground gave out from underneath
our love was too big for the Earth to handle
our words the lyrics to this instrumental
we thought those other couples couldn’t hold a candle
but we just fell for another dream
hearts got tangled
and then any hopes for a future were horribly mangled
when looking at the truth in the eyes
you suddenly become sentimental
but when I called you that night
all you said was leave you alone, you felt strangled
maybe that was your conscious
letting you know my feelings aren’t yours to fuck with
and if you do something wrong you gotta face the consequences
lucky your alive cuz I held all my punches
but when you call and I don’t pick up
I bet it feels like shit and I hope you give up
there’s nothing left go dry your tears
and hide your face behind your makeup
I know it hurts, I read those texts
next year you’ll say, “fuck my ex,
my new man is better at sex”
and I’ll know it was all for the best

Lies

what use is telling the truth now
honesty only counts if you’re coming home now
if I don’t get to feel it now
then I’ll say whatever it takes to get you off the phone now

everybody whispering has me so down
I just stare but can’t read between the lips
the only time you would shut up is when we would kiss
now my friends sit around
throwing around names like they were up for auction
but they don’t really know my condition
I guarantee you my heart will lead to their destruction
but they never run out of trying to give me options

The Motion Remix

Everybody holds their glasses
Ready to toast when no one’s looking
No questions don’t want no answers
they eat whatever’s cooking

when everything’s golden
she doesn’t question the moment
take away her rosy vision
and she can’t understand why it’s rotten

they surround me on my throne
clap at all my poems
feed my mind empty words
just as long as they can live in my world
but like castles in the sky
one day everything dies
and laughter turns to mumbling sighs
some of them can’t help but cry
but I’m still here
they whisper resolutions in my ear
and they’re off chasing a new year

#NaPoWriMo Day 21: Off the top of my head

off the top of my head
just getting out of bed
my words are bullets
I shoot until your dead
fill bullet holes
with mad rhymes
and your ears know
that what they heard was priceless
and what they feel is worth it
traveling on trains
to places inside of your brain
when people on the other side
are searching for a way back
you don’t listen to their replies
just keep pushing in all out attack
ignoring signs of your demise
but truth be told I used to believe those lies
I just hope I’m not one you despise
because I told you what you would find

Unrequited Love

And it was the second time I had seen her that day, once earlier on the bus and then at the library where I had come to sit alone and read my books.  She came up to me and asked for directions.  Holding a cell phone in one hand and looking out the window, she was nervous and her body moved and rocked back and forth.  She had to lean against the wall to keep balance.  I gave her directions. She said thank you.  And I never thought I would see her again.
