A Choice

I have to make a choice

I have to make it soon

The paths we’ve chosen are different

I have to make my own way

I cannot be misled

I want you, it’s true

But I have to move on

Making a choice to live my life without you

Almost Killed Me

I almost killed myself

But love killed me first

Pain almost killed me

But not smoking blunts

Medications they gave me

Almost killed me cold

Insecurities killed me the most

If the truth must be told

A Lying Man

The one thing I can’t stand, is a lying man

A man who tell simple lies, will tell major ones as well

This is why it’s so hard to trust, they will tell you anything

Thinking they have to mislead you to keep you

Am I A Fool

Am I such a fool for indulging in your lies

Texting and calling and getting no reply

Waiting excitedly just to see him again

Heart pounding with adrenaline, just waiting

I wait, continue to wait and then call

No response, no response!

No answer at all

You tell me over and over that you’re coming

Yet I’m standing in the mirror waiting for no one

Am I a fool, for what I do not see and willing to accept

A fool for waiting for you

Fighting for a man who doesn’t want me anymore

Am I Ready

Will I ever trust again

Or am I just tarnished goods

Will I ever have the strength to believe I won’t be hurt

Am I even ready to be in a relationship

Is it even fair for me to be in one

Having a partner and your trust is off, that’s detrimental

My heart not being healed enough to truly be in love

Heart completely broken

I don’t have the courage to trust a man

Am I ready, I am not

Can We Make It

Are we meant to be is the question that bothers me

Are you my soul mate

No matter who I’m with, I can only think of you

When I first saw you, I felt you were the one

So through everything I hold on

Are we tired enough to let go

I don’t know what to do with us

Childhood

Crickets, birds, frogs the sounds I’d hear from my window

The aroma of crack seeping from under the bathroom door

My brother saying he doesn’t want
