Everything I Do

her skin is cold, our fingers fold

and i hold her in my eyes

as she moans

“you saved me”

she wrote

Perhaps the ultimate gift is to remember someone

had a conversation with myself,

we didn’t really agree

Take one step at a time,

Don’t rush it.

Be a turtle.

Voiceless voices

Amongst a scattered world

laughed at

for my pain

fake smiles

helps a while

but nothing

stays

the same

let your light consume

my every shadow

i heard the moon

she whispered things that didn’t matter

i find it rude

she leaves every few hours

she said i was always there

you just didn’t see me

and when she came back

i was the one leaving

wasted,

i have wasted all my precious time,

chasing a high.

o novocaine,

infect my mind with lovely lullabies,

and tell me everything is alright.

I hold my home in my hands,

My mind flies around like a phantom,

And all along she was there,

Touching my skin,

Oh she got me going mental.

What would you do,

If I loved you just a little?

What would you do,

If I lean a little closer?

It’s my fault,

I haven’t done what I’m supposed to,

I was wrong,

For bottling all these emotions.

My misery and my desire,

Are similar in their attire.

I’m really the smartest fool,

Touching a raging fire.

You must take what is yours,

Because yours only stays awhile.

And it’s only never too late,

To love the things you hate.

But then ya’ll gonna mix my words,

Y’all don’t know how to spell,

And what if I get my groove on,

And tell that bitch how I felt,

nah, I can’t catch no feelings,

Cuz that ain’t good for my health,

And when I get to coughing,

I pray I’m up in the clouds.
