Truce

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

Shiv

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

Proximity

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.

Rummage

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

“Should’ve taken chances/Toss a coin see if it lands in/My favour/I wanted you as the girl next door/Fuck being neighbours”

“Live fast, Die Loved”

“Don’t get me wrong/just have me right/night’s full of maybe’s/heart full of might’s”

Constant

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.

Patience wears thin/ So do these shoes/ Same ones used to reach you/ Black & white blues

Time (revisited)

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.
