Pretty in red
I can recall most rainy days before school
The way the fence smelled before climbing it as a short cut
Early morning hanging in the cafeteria
Not the first time I've seen you
The first time I SAW you
Hair curly, lip gloss popping
Cussing out a boy, ive seen flirting with other girls
I said damnnnn, I think ill see this part again
The next few times I saw you
It was a brush
Pretty in red
That had my mind in a rush
Something about a girl and heels
And jeans
& a tshirt, slightly revealing the lusc
Not sure if it was me or it was getting hot
There's one moment in particular
I knew it was a crush
You leaned over me as I talked
Arms up, with every word spoken you stepped closer
Eyes glued in
Deeper than laser focus
My hands were sweating
The wall was holding me up
Out in the hall outside the autoshop
Away from everyone except kids coming from buying cookies
You held the double door's beam
I kinda thought is this a dream
I do indeed remember that picture
As I held your waist
All the wicker
You were always prettiest in red.

Slip
There's this passion between love and drugs
And it gives in
A whirlwind between wins and the winds
They push, but always come back in thee end
Split, broken, crushed with no hope to mend.
Fuck a rule, they're meant to bend
Never spoke the word heal
The synonymous milk and glass
Spilled or spoiled even expiration dates don't last
If you can keep what you hold
Have a nice firm grasp
Be sure to smile
Whether it be dimples, or all cheeks

Last one, but not the first.
See the last one
Not really my last
The one before
Who chose to open that door
Left that door open
& just walked away
As in if, it wasn't cracked from our time before
Like the knocker wasn't knocked
To flee to me when im flocked
To unmoore me in a storm
Now im a boat undocked
Drifting away until I find my name
A piece of wood carved so fine
From the finest tree rooted away from natures poverty
Cut from a tree that wasnt uprooted, rerouted and turned to saw dust
My dust will settle
The winds draft will mettle
Not last, but the one before.

Not Enough
To me it seems I'm not enough
A tease here
A kiss there
Maybe just enough
You look at me like you THINK you want to fuck
Like I'm great for you
Your soul just thinks I'm good enough
Do you think we could just be best friends?
Itd put your worry some mind to a slow stir and it could rest
Idk what I'm listening to
Is it your left out lips?
The vibe that slips?
Or my heart because I already know the shit isn't catching grip
I'm worth your stories
Arm candy, but boring
I only want you to want what your heart wants
Mind over hearts first jump, could be a front
Why do I question if I'm good enough?

Beast
The beast sits on the end of my crumbling edges
Fearing the fall, once commenced and now pledges
Brute, chilly and soaked
The atmosphere, weather and ground
Sweater weather with the loss of love
Although this is the price
The cost has been dug
Dug, so deep you have to scavenge for a breath
The beast wraps you
The power feels good
Eyes covered
Mouth gagged
Hands tied behind your back
Confused by such assertion
Listen with your ears
Inside you is the person
Beast

Reflections
My reflections are pain
Tainted with this world's wicked poison
Not the true word
But some quick splif
A way to so-called power
If not right in your eyes then who's
My only deadline when I've reached my end
The only way is to your will I bend
I dont understand a choice
If you want it to be one way then why an option
On earth it's cold as hell
I speak literally
My vein poised with dull uselessness man has twisted
I wish to follow your path
I will follow your path
Why am I so weak?
Beneath this flesh
Lies my soul
For I am learning to forgive myself
Is that not for me to do?
I know only you can do...
I guess I just worry my end
To not feel human I assume my end
Allowing myself to feel pain
I just ask that you come and free my brain
Why am I here
Am I a burden?
I only follow your path
How does man rewrite your words?
Have they been rewritten?
I question myself, never your existence.

Shred
Out in the open
I stand here naked
cold.
dirty.
delirious.
unfocused.
yet, focused on you.
this can’t be covered
a smoke curtain and the smoke can’t be smothered
the rain starts to pour
shot of jack N0. 4
If we could speak as fast as we think
we’d stumble receptors
to know and see what i now know, i’d accept more
you with me compares to no floor
No ceilings
I read your eyes and try not to imagnify
something that may not be true, or just my own lie
I just want to grip your soul and never let go
I’m so hot it feels like the breeze that flows
over your pretty face, I see you and I see a sunflower
Beautifully bloomed and growing upward like a tower
your seeds bring joy to life, you’re fruitful..
With out the storm, I would not have found what I once thought was lost
that empty fucking space couldn’t be filled with out cost.

In the air
Me sitting here
Her sitting there
Luscious chocolate paradise
A recipe that I could NEVER replicate
Thoughts are thunk to be in empty space
While you're on my mind they levitate
I have highs and lows
My mind fluctuates
I think about your flow
You're this blooming flower
Petals vibrant, like your smile
You don't require 100% sunlight to glow
It enhances that melanin
Trying to get more vitamin you
Through my eyes
I haven't begun to describe my views

All that is left
All that is left is this beating heart, these words and the ceaseless ocean
my emotions of caring for others
these words are my expressions
speaking my mind
splaying my thoughts
conquering fears; these everlasting fears
an ocean filled with moments that once were
memories are the mist from the waves, just a blur.

Alienated
As much as I believe in shooting stars
This world will crush all moving parts
Hop in the space craft and move to Mars
No rules
Just boobs and bars.

To your knees
That keep you up when you're not here
I can sense you when you're near
Smelling the sweet scent of you
I'm still trying to wrap my mind around you
Kisses I could plant all day
Watch them them grow hungrier
Until you say, "I want you"
Although I was already planning to make a move
Like a predator hunts its dinner
For all that I crave I'm a well known sinner
To sin, then sin again,
It's never the wrong time, but I'm not ready to make any amends
The way you feel to me caresses my soul
When you turn me on my eyes grow light
No literally, no sunlight, just a dreamy brown
A golden cusp, will make your world spin round
We're wrapped in golden, velvet spiel
Soft as silk
I'm sure Rumpelstiltskin had a will
See you're a womans daughter and I'm trying to make you mine

Do you ever?
Do you ever wish you were in the same space as her?
Do ever feel motivated to feel your heart race for her?
I feel like I'd drive 1000 miles just to be face to face with her
She really doesn't understand
I'm telling her my plans
But maybe she just thinks I'm a dub
I'm trying to connect to her in subtle ways
I see me as a hub
If I have your heart
Girl love is a flood
I hate mind games
But somehow I play yours
Beautiful, crazy, kinky with a hint of freak
Driving my mind, impairing my speech
I'm just thinking fuzzy navel
Girl you're my peach
Do you ever lye awake past midnight thinking of me?
Do you truly believe we will be more than we see?
Something about a pretty as smile that makes me weak
Tall to me dirty while flashing your teeth
Talk to me like you know me
No passion can cease
You keep saying my name like you're about to preach
Holding you in my arms just makes my heart happy
Sitting here picturing the kisses, I just cant get enough
Been starved too long I just want to eat you up
I feel like you change me
It's a thing called the changeling
Do you ever imagine all that we could be?
Do you ever lye awake and think of me?

MIND ME
Say whatever comes to mind
I'm looking at a faceless sunshine
Shes so beautiful, even when she's on her grind
To help her relax and pour her a glass of wine
Have you ever just wanted to give someone the happiness they deserve
Diminishing all the pain even at their worst
So much love that it fucking hurts
Easy on the pain
Hard on love
I can only tell, its hard to tell what you're thinking of
I want your sweet kisses, and your whole hugs
When I'm on you, I swear I'm on drugs
Yes high off you, baby dont pull the plug.
Mind me
whilst I mind our love.

Memories of you
Running from these memories we had
Times we shared, beers we grabbed
I keep seeing your face
But this fucking eraser wont erase
Tears burning my eyes like I was sprayed with mace
Wet dreams, I remember your taste
All the nights we went back to my place
Sex at 2 in morning, breakfast in the morning
Sex in the morning
Now you've got me mourning
Wish there was some pressure in rotation
Everytime I open my eyes I see you in circulation
Bounded by a sex appeal
Is this a nightmare or is it really real
These memories of you
Are what I cant shake
Losing my mind
I almost want whatever it takes
Friction from our mistakes
Going nowhere fast
Staring out at the great lakes
A twinkle in a star reminds me of your eyes
Everywhere I go I see you in disguise
Thanks for the token I hated the ride.

The Encounter
The wall is holding me up where I stand
Afraid to move, I tilt my shades and glance
There's something that caught my eye
I imagine conversation, but i try not to pry
I take one step out & instantly feel relief
I sit on this stool looking out on the dance floor
I gaze at you and you are steady dancing
A day dream flashes when you look back at me
Just imagine waves crashing
Some courage, i ask you to dance
I put my finger through the loop in your pants
As I pull you closer, I can smell your perfume
Truthfully it makes me want to trEAT you to a wonderful night
You spin around
and I just love your little cute ass grinding on me
You rock with me and I rock with you
My hands slip down to your waist
now on your hips
A heated race when you look me in my face
Biting on your lips
just a kiss I want a taste
Last song of the night you’d suggest your place
Id ride along just to be cuddled in your space

Funny thing
Funny thing is I almost forgot your face
I know your heart
Well i thought I knew
Shit it was twice right before your candle's blew
In the night animates the smoke would seem blue
Some way some how
I couldn't forget thise fucking juicy lips
Like wtf is this
Am I still high
Why tf am I still on your trip
This is the shit right here I don't get
Just plain ol reminisce after reminisce
So if I burn all these letters,
I hope this finally finishes this.
