Ready to Love

Are you ready to love me now? Please tell me, you’re down The right thing to say The right thing to do I’ve been, I’ve been looking around

These other girls want me Every time I respond silently Their intentions are forever unclear I look in the mirror and see fear In my eyes, but it leaves where you’re here Here with me

Are you ready to love me now? Please tell me, you’re down The right thing to say The right thing to do I’ve been, I’ve been looking around

You’ve kept me close all these months I think about you way too much When you’re down, I lift you up I remind you, you’re enough, it’s true I look at you through this glass All I want is you, at last

Night Life 

I was caught up in the night life Taking big steps to get a glimpse of the night lights My days were long and I hung my head under street lamps Parks became camps for my thoughts I would’ve written it but instead I’d type write I kept my heavy heart close and my love tight I didn’t have a woman on my mind at that time My former mysteries remain unsolved My former miseries are now dissolved I crept out the back door ready to explore The grip of the streets under my feet gave me grounding I didn’t feel often The snow would cover ground all around Nothing stopped me from finding something else out there I was unaware of my actions Lost in my few possessions It was hard to discover my blessings Because my head was flooded with stressing But here I stand today Danville’s rough edges brought me comfort Burnside’s soft spots made me hardened I am who I am, don’t take it from me

Gone

For days I’ve been holding back tears But it seems to be years All the sudden I’m switching gears Being transparent with my love, with my fears

Every night I’m dreaming with a heavy heart I keep seeing her, the meaning I can’t piece apart Take it easy but it’s hard When I’m sitting here with my thoughts keeping me barred

The sun is peeking through the clouds Lift my eyes from the ground Got to keep going even if no one’s around Feel peace apart from the crowds

Skeleton

I show you my sincere smile everyday Seldom I share the scars on my skin What would you do? If you saw my skeleton Would you accept the bonafide me? Or would the naked truth make you run?

Gaze into my eyes, you find my spirit Hide your lies from me There’s no desire to hear it Instead, put your heart close to mine When you hug me

Time Is Slow

Morning

At the day’s wake, leafs breaks, trees shake Birds chirp, the night left undisturbed The morning sun a flower in the sky Cotton candy pink and blue catch the eye A misty dew and a fresh morning brew Rays peeking around the town’s buildings As the dark shadows cast their shape It’s another beautiful day at stake
