You, a rhyme i’d try to write over and over again
Open ended run on sentences that were too bland
Miswritten metaphors
Silly ass similes
Battered down soliloquies
What you mean to me
Like a valve to a facet
You opened me up
A realist in every aspect
Got me fallin’ for ya is that too blunt?
The things that i’d do for ya
The things that i’d do to ya
Maybe a bit too soft
Maybe a bit too nasty
And for the sake of chivalry, I shall cut bein rude
I need ya by my shoulder and not with another dude
If a relationship is built on respect and understanding
Understand that i respect that you love holding hands and
Going out of your way, just to see me or spend time
Of the day, Hey
It was never bout the nickels or dimes
I have more fun with ya
Then having more funds without ya
I love kicking it, lounging, and learnin’ alot more about ya
I know you’re feeling the same way
Spotted letters you’ve written for me, hey
I’ve sought you, caught you, and don’t want to let go
I’m never lettin this just be another episode
I’m gonna run a whole series (yenno? Til i’m Lost)
Your my achilles, my kryptonite, my weak spot
Yet you don’t shoot when you know you got a clear shot
Your weapons fully loaded with beauty and truth
Our hearts were once warring I believe they called a truce
Judge not on my words alone, but on actions i’ll follow through
Allow me to cut this short, i’ve been longing for you
tree above the lake
carved in my fate
diamonds, gold, & custom plates
above set in stone
etched in bare bone
me & you, will never be alone
It was a bright day
Misfortune made it dim
Dim to a blur
Blur to a gin
Gin to a grin
Grin to a frown
I hear her words
It doesn’t make a sound
My two cents
Let’s cut ties
We both know
It ain’t worth the lies
Words fell on deaf ears
“You trying to get a rise?
We can still be friends.”
ha Surprise, surprise
Through all that i’ve been through
I thought I would’ve been tougher
Who would’ve known this love would make me suffer
No point in arguing
It’s a double edged sword
You should know everything aside
You meant the whole world
Don’t bother calling tonight
I’d rather be in bed
Mind full of shattered dreams
and shit you’ve said
Hello to a new you
Goodbye promises i’ve kept
The shoulder to cry on
And boundaries i’ve leapt
Trying to find the words to say
Sadly, only one saying is true
The least you can say,
Is all you can do.
shoot. couldnt pick a better place to stash it
tried to chuck it out, at times, just to snatch it
store it in monetary items, later i’d cash it
still tore me down, cut me up like a hatchet
had a race with time, to see who was fastest
who am i kidding, keepin still through the madness
but i digress, these backs just keep flashing
where did i leave it, my thoughts keep clashing
my left my right over my shoulder i keep looking
checked the shoeboxes drawers and under my bed
in a room thats just white black and blue
how is it so hard
to find something red
safety deposit box, blew, and dustballs fled
handwritten letters and mixtapes i’d sent
temple scratching, tired, shapes outta bent
further i searched, less i’d achieved
nothing more, midnight oil burnt clean
so hard to find something i’d once seen
in plain sight, im sure id seen it somewhere
every nook and cranny
i was so sure of the love that was there
Can you blame me
I saw it
I went for it
If I changed me
Would it
Make a diff
Stationary
Miles away
Didn’t plan
This trip
This feeling I swear
I’ve been trying
To flip
Knowing I can’t succeed
But just
Can’t quit
Should I cop my keys
Bounce, Split
Should’ve taken heed
Well, shit
Easier said than done
Swear trying not to run
Chasing pavements
My form of fun
This burns deep
Hot like the sun
She cold as hell
Laces done
Still tripped and fell
And there I go
Dya see me? Dya see me?
Well
My mind universal
You conveyed the stars
No wonder wherever I be
There you are..
There you are.
I remember when you were everything
When you were every absolute reason
You shot me for a loop, elastic to a sling
Oh the trials and tribulations time brings
Oh the silly things, we used to do
Used to embrace the whole world
Seems i’ve been played the fool
Isn’t it funny
How you think you learnt the first time
When really
You gotta deal with the worst times
Look at my clock and it’s time we part
Multiplies like a math test
Times were just as hard
Time and time again
I fall back on rhyme
I blame the height on the climb
Didn’t see the signs, so much to chase
Gotta stop looking
Maybe then i’d find
What i’m looking for
Cause it seems like same shit different day
Change in me seen, but not to my dismay
I waited, broke my mold
Stopped fallin back on prospects not approved
De-ja vu’s, blocked those views
Reminiscent minds, i just can’t do
Never bout what im running from
But what im running to
(And im running too)
My new mindset assigned
My heart devoted, not too easy to decline
My code, don’t ever ever cross that line
Busted balls for a girl
Not even worth it
My mistake a glance turned to a flirt
Furthermore a hurting, for sure then
A wall has been built
I sit waiting watching from the guard tower
Raybans, a smoke, and my face is sour
Stopwatch swinging from my arm
Used to stop on that hour
This king’s castle’s lights out
Waiting for a new queen
Hopes aiming for her to turn on, the power.
