A Heart's Barricade

No words written or spoken can clearly do you justice,
Taking advantage of fleeting moments when it was just us,
Apologizing for my wrongs may not hold the pure value of its meaning,
For all the wrong I committed and your heart I was deceiving,

Lies upon lies and more tend to follow,
Streaming from my mouth to your ear, making them hard to inhale,
Lies upon lies and all in attempts to be intimate,
To steal what you treasured and held so close,

Your trust in me, ever increasingly making it difficult to believe,
Forgiveness make’s this my Heart’s earnest plea,
Even scraping the bottom of my soul,
Words displayed without feeling, even in HD can seem so old,

And I return saying this time things will be all new,
Still contemplating the fear of hurting you,
Cheated on you, ruining expectations with unknown, but carefully placed deceit,
Like beginning a race, when you’re sure of defeat,

For God alone has the strength to change this bruised perception,
Because when you see me coming, all you see is deception,
Saying I love you, as if it was the savior,
Like those words alone could excuse my behavior,

Bringing things under the umbrella of forgiveness,
Am I being honest, or just trying to give you the business?
Thinking with the wrong head, most times not thinking at all,
How you managed to loved me, when you should be appalled,

Attempting to erase tear stained cheeks,
Am I eligible to build you up, when I made you weep?
Not giving you the credit deserve, seeing that you were so strong,
To still have the ability to Love again and forgive my wrongs,

Seeking clemency for crimes committed against your heart,
This is just a message in the hopes the healing starts,
For my sorrow cannot turn back the past,
But Love can over shadow all, if you’ll just let it pass.

Conspiracy Theory

Broken Hearts rendezvous with Shattered dreams,
And yet Love continues to plot and scheme,
Almost as if it's some weird kind of enjoyment,
By giving something, then removing it as torment.

That thing it gives, I believe it's called Hope,
Which causes me to forget what I can't cope,
Erasing pass encounters,
Like a bad use car dealer who "tweaks" the counter. "RESET"

Has me believing,
No longer deceiving,
Myself thinking this day would never come.
Like trying to catch my breath, but having no lungs,

Then Hope introduces Love as if it were the first time,
Causes me to Hope and Love she'll stay for a Lifetime,
Not the movie, but brings a happy ending,
To the cycle of Love for you, Hope in me,
Concluding forever as We.

Walk With Me

She says she wants to get into my head,
Locksmith what I’m really about, see what treads,
As if I haven’t opened up for only you to see,
Not sure that’s the place you really want to be,

It’s set a blazed in so many ways,
Unconventional, sometimes sentimental,
Romantic softy, hardcore lover, among others,
When your search is over, it's cool to call your brother,

Tell him you’ve met the man he can walk you down the aisle,
I’m not rushing, but I know where this will lead,
When you’re ready to pull over, pass your heart’s key,
I’m not even twisted, about the ones who missed it,

Yours or mine, our thoughts, mindset, emotions in check,
Let’s not let things get away, like the flying time,
Having fun, you giving me your day, my day, it’s one,
Direction aim toward finishing the journey,

Your soul’s a class, I’ll forever be learning,
Graduating, never debating, glad you waited,
Clear eyes, no glasses, it’s you only I see,
Life’s choices are crystal, when you walk with me.

Around the Corner

I should be upset, I should be angry,
I should be looking for someone else to save me,
From this life of singly being alone,
If I've sinned, let this be the time I've atone.
It shouldn't be this way, wish that it wasn't
I wish you'll listen to the things I had to say, no longer fussing,
Bring back MTV, because it's your heart I'm trying to sway,
There's still time, why delay?
And its all looking like a repeat,
Don't come back to my heart with the receipt, refund
Can't deal with it, shouldn't have to, don't want none,
Can we go back a time when things were more fun,
Shining ways even on cloudy days,
It's not taking a chance if you know it's the sure thing,
It can be like Coke, if you want the real thing,
Maybe sing it like Miguel, saying let's just be,
New day approaches, guess we'll just wait and see.
