My Fault

Years went by & I realized it was my fault.. always was & always will be my fault. I probably always realized it was but never put 2 2 together. I was selfish & careless about your feelings & should’ve took it to consideration. I fell in love with my soulmate when I was 18, and I blame her for everything knowing it was my fault. Me looking back at all the shit I did was embarrassing but it was all my fault. I could be a Man today & tell you back then I really didn’t deserved you. I only cared about myself & wanted to crash out with the devil in the streets. I always thought you never loved me but you really did, I never seen the signs… Almost 10 years later we still talk.. we still hang out, we still laugh & we still vibe.. just like you said we had to live separate lives for a bit to realize we needed each other in the long run. It’s crazy how I’m still obsessed with you, anything you need I’ll give it to you in a heartbeat. I know money doesn’t impress you or anything, but all the shit I put you thru doesn’t have a price if that makes sense? I stayed single for years & told every female that came in my way I was taken.. she just ain’t mine right now, because she is doing her own thang but when she done she knows I’ll be waiting. I was waiting for so long I got tired of being alone, I forgot how to love how to do little things. I’m only in a relationship now to coupe from the lost pain I had for you in years. Sometimes I wish I stayed single a little longer, stayed in my shell & waited for you because I always knew you was going to come back… I knew you was going to hit me up at both our lowest, both hug it out & kiss it & make up for lost time.. I sometimes wonder why am I still here & not married to you already? Till this day I still cry when I watch movies like Love & Basketball, Jason’s Lyric, Poetic Justice, Love Don’t Cost a Thing, True To The Game, any love movie I cry to & be like dam this was me & you Reina. It was always me & that’s sad. If I would’ve just hold all my emotions in then I would’ve married you so young because all I wanted in life was you. I love everything about you & it still hasn’t changed. I told my Mom about you.. I told my sisters about you. I told my homies I was posted on the blocc hitting licks with about you. You are my lifeline & if you die today I probably would kill myself. I’m still waiting on your move & say lets run away. And when you do I promise we will leave.. but that’s just fairy talk right? Lol I don’t even know what I’m saying anymore smh.. it’s crazy I called myself ColdHeartedMook because of you, I post nothing but blue hearts not red because you made me coldhearted. I use to say morning & not goodmorning but nothing was good about my mornings without you. I use to be mad at everyone & the world because my Pops was gone & you left me. But I understand now.. because it was always me & I’m sorry for putting you thru all that…. I always told myself after I’m 21 I don’t think I would ever ever get married. Because when I was 18, 19 I only seen one person as my Wife & who I was going to spend my whole life with.. and it was you Reina.. it was you, but it’s my fault it was always my fault it was always me. Now this friendship we have shouldn’t even be a friendship but it’s cool.. like you said Time Will Tell right? The famous line you always told me smh. It’s crazy too I told myself a longtime ago, I would stop writing & making music because you were my motivation when it came to it now look at me now writing my heart on my sleeve. Still waiting for you fuck up what I have so we can be what we dreamed about since we were kids. ❤️

Often times, withholding your whole opinion from a friend or child to not hurt their feelings is kind; just as being amicable to people you don't know or care for is respectful. These are different than being intentionally misleading, like feigning greater feelings than you really have for a potential significant other, as well as being untruthful, like outwardly boasting about someone's talents or looks when you really feel they are lacking in that department. Perhaps some people prefer to be misled and always want to be told what they want to hear. Myself, I prefer genuineness. This isn't to say I want others to be cruel to me or brutally honest about their every thought about me at all times (please don't!), but there's always the option of saying nothing at all. Just be authentic. If someone doesn't ask for your honest opinion, you have no reason to fib about how you feel — unless you are trying to get on their good side or wanting something from them, which we all can recognize is also dishonest and insincere, taking us right back to where we started! Remember, you can be real and still show kindness and respect to friends, acquaintances, and even strangers. Being "real" and honest does not equate to being rude and hurtful. Thus, being passive and not vocalizing your every single opinion about every single topic does not label you as dishonest or fake. However, aggressively handing out faux opinions and mistruths just might, especially if it's excessive and/or given for personal gain! I think it's important to just always aim at being genuine — while still considering the beneficiary of your intentions. The world has enough fake and coercive people already; please don't become another!

Don’t forget the eyes of desires stare

“I hope all is well”.

I miss you and your eyes, said over and over.

I miss all of your being and thoughts shared with sweet moments in lost kisses.

All of it and more.

Engulfed in emotions battle, wants and more all lost in time, looking forward to a shared day.

My heart resonates a beat toward its shared equal, while my ears await a pounding beat in return.

How I wait for those musical notes - beautifully spoken from your lips.

Thanks for trampling me on the ground; Levelling me to dirt, when all it does, was nourishing my roots. Thanks for saying unkind words to my face; Those toxicity steer me to bent and stretch towards only the Sun. Thanks to you; I’m blooming, I’m growing, I’m living. And most of all; I no longer feel sorry for myself Because that's all on you now Sorry.

I Regret This

Oh look at you

With eyes so new.

How fantastic are those curves!

I’ve never been with a soul such as yours.

Well, right now I’m seeing someone

But admittedly things aren’t as fun.

Wow, it’s just so refreshing

Having a conversation this engaging!

Sweet sickly perfume...

I’m committed to

This beautiful ideal.

Oh, the way you make me feel!

Minty breath with a crooked smile.

I can stay for just a little while...

No, there’s not place I’ve got to be.

The jokes you tell are really funny!

The way you eat just like a man,

How you walk is so elegant,

We both like to read!

Both our hearts beat.

You sit so close to me;

I can hear you breathe.

How I wish my beloved was as inviting...

Lately we’ve been fighting.

Their hair lacks luster.

It’s like their soul just ran out of color.

All the flaws that come to mind

Make everything you do divine .

I wish that I could start off fresh...

So then we could lie together in regret.

You Look Like A Slave

You Look Like A Slave

If I told you that you look like a slave you’d think me offensivebut sadness droops down your face like the body has recognizedits youth will never return. Regret and dishonesty is a very heavyfeature to wear, so your face stretches farther from accountability If your ears were not in his possession I’d tell you to run ‘til La Lunade Dominicana caress your curves, make melodies with your…

In such subtle ways this is an evolution, a growth uncharted.

Haiku on Life by Tyler Knott Gregson

[jussttpourit]

Bad idea

I’m sinking In my bed

These tears won’t go away and I can’t get you out of my head

My pride is hanging by a thread

Cause I’m thinking about all the things that you said

Our connection is too deep to leave for dead

I love our memories but fuck the supposed to be’s and the things unsaid

I’m so tired of you being in my dreams, come to me instead.

[odes-in-the-dark]

Stranded in the Fog

Do you only remember me

When you want to?

When no one else is there

With you.

How in the world,

Am i supposed to move on,

When I see you waiting

For me.

But you aren’t,

You’re gone,

And I just

See us.

There was once a time in which our melanchoulous

Was only fog in the distance,

In which we thought we’d never

Enter.

But I thought I knew my route,

getting the sails and rations ready

Planning my route somewhere else,

Away from you.

So I left you,

Stranded on an island

Of paradise,

so I could brave the fog by myself.

Lodged

The rain to the wind said,

“You push and I’ll pelt.”

They so smote the garden bed.

That the flowers actually knelt,

And lay lodged— though not dead.

I know how the flowers felt.

Robert Frost
