Musing



With You (Musing)

"When I’m with you…”

I want you…
It’s something I must say
I want to spend all my time
With you, every minute of the day

I miss you…
It’s something I must admit
I miss feeling your touch
With you, every caress is a benefit

I need you…
It’s something I must convey
I need to be in your presence
With you, every second takes my breath away

I love you…
It’s something I’m reluctantly expressing
I love the way you make me feel
With you, every moment is a blessing

I thank you…
It’s something I’ll continue to do
I’m thankful for much in my life
But most of all for being with you…

T.R.O.Y.

Had to say goodbye to a good friend of mine today. He once  said I had a gift, well this one for you T-Mac....





Mistakes…
What becomes of a man,
Once he has made a mistake?
Does he learn from this experience,
Or does he suffer another heartbreak?

His past cannot be altered,
But his mistakes are something to review…
He can learn from past mistakes,
And start off tomorrow anew…

But without a clear conscience,
And with a troubled mind,
His search for love and understanding,
Is very difficult to find…

He travels down life’s twisted road,
In order to meet his fate,
Searching for love and peace of mind,
While trying to avoid any further mistakes…

Friend Zone (AKA Box #3)




UNTITLED#4

I didn't mean for you to find out
Not in this way
I had hoped you'd notice my actions
And all the things I’d say

I did want to tell you
I was just waiting for the right time
But when it seemed like I was losing you,
I damn near lost my mind

I knew I had to react
It was now or never
And after being faced with loneliness again
I'd rather that we get together

So I swallowed my pride...
And took several chances,
Hoping and praying....
You would follow my advances

But it seems that your view of me
Is not the same as mine of you
Where I see the only one for me
...you see just a friend, true blue

We've known each other
For quite some time
But I never thought
I would want you to be mine.

Back To The Future...



Do Over…
"Now where is that flux capacitor...”

I think I'll use a lifeline
Maybe I'll phone a friend
There are things I need to undo
Somebody please give me a mulligan

Should've use that free spin
Or maybe a bonus stack
Should've cashed in my chips sooner
Before betting it all on black

I think I picked the wrong horse
I was one number off the mark
Should've trusted my gut instincts
Instead of following my heart

Should have went left
Instead of going straight
Shouldn't have took that last gamble
And now i realize it's too late

Someone please give me a redo
There are some things I want to change
Never pictured life would be like this
It’s driving me insane…

No matter how much I hope and pray
I won't get that chance again
Guess I can stop expecting
Doc Brown to pull up in that DeLorean

Untitled #2




UNTITLED#2


I can’t hold them in’
They’re bound to escape
These feelings that I have
Their power is too great

This time I knew
You would not break my heart
But strange situations arose
That drove us further and further apart

When I wanted to be with you
People seemed to interfere
That it probably why
You are not with me here

It wasn’t our fault
There were things we could not control
Like the other people who were involved
And our love they oppose

Maybe you are still upset
And probably mad
But you may never understand how it hurts
To have lost the chances I’ve had

So I play it off now
But I can only disguise
The pain that i feel
…within the sadness of my eyes.

Rehab....



Convalescence
“I don’t need any more counseling…”

Okay, I’ll admit it
You were my drug of choice
I was so hooked on you
I damn near lost my voice

Couldn’t sleep most nights
There were times I needed you
For late night hits
Just to get through

Forget cold turkey
I thought I had an endless supply
You were a harmless addiction
One I couldn’t deny

Never thought I’d ever
Have to come down off that high
But when my source got cut off
I thought I’d surely die

At first I didn’t want you
My friends told me to stay away
But I had to try it once
I still remember that day

On a Friday morning
I decided to skip class
You came by and gave me an offer
One that I couldn’t pass

Held it in my hands
I took a whiff
 It Smelled exquisite
So I took a sip


Then that was it
Once was all it took
Too late to resist
By then I was hooked

On some freaky, Sneaky
Creepy
 Type of Ish

Had me licking, Biting, Sucking
And scratching
Begging for another hit

So yeah I can admit it
You WERE my drug of choice
But I’m fresh out of rehab
Without a shred of remorse…
