This is dedicated to my ex Brandon, and he knows why!

"Don't Need You"

I remember love,
and I remember pain.
I remember why,
the two are not the same.
'Cause when you say you do,
I know you don't.
So pack your things and leave,
and if you say you won't,
I'll be the one to leave.
I'm not afraid to go.
I'll be the one to say,
I'll make it on my own!
I'm tired of your lies,
this drama I don't need,
with you in my life...

"Angel"
In subtle sounds comes a timid gasp,
Of languid aspirations and harsh relapse,
And the tempid stills of a midnight peace
Offers to one a statuatory release.
With wings of doves and feathers of light,
She soars above the clouds at night,
And looking down at the world below
She beckons aloud, and then she goes.

Flight for fight, blind or sight, wrong or right,
All is irrelevant against the might of light.
And there she flies, high above the sky
With an angelic song as she passes me by.
An angel of mercy, an angel of care;
Wherever I go, I know my angel will be there.

Of hindered aggression and sublime shape,
She was a victim of torment and a victim of rape.
No escape from a world of shadows and dust,
An angel from heaven in a hell she couldn't trust.
And through the biding darkness came unspoken things,
So she lept from the sky with her faith in her wings,
And she fell and fell till the she could fall no more,
But someone caught her so she once again could soar.

Flight for fight, blind or sight, wrong or right,
All is irrelevant against the might of light.
And there she flies, high above the sky
With an angelic song as she passes me by.
An angel of mercy, an angel of care;
Wherever I go, I know my angel will be there.

Look into my eyes and try and realize
That I can see through that angelic disguise,
And I see the humble heart, broken and forsaken,
But you must realize that you were never mistaken,
And the turbulant waters will one day be still,
And together we'll fly high on a wish and a will,
And there you and I will forever fly high,
On wings of angels with no tears in our eyes.

Flight for fight, blind or sight, wrong or right,
All is irrelevant against the might of light.
And there she flies, high above the sky
With an angelic song as she passes me by.
An angel of mercy, an angel of care;
Wherever I go, I know my angel will be there.

"Woman of My Dreams and Nightmares"
Fear in all its essence is not so deep
As to deprive me of my sweetest sleep,
But nightmares linger past the dawn
And visions of you still linger on.
Angel of mercy and hell, you forever be
And you're all that I love and loathe inside me.

(The darkness fades but the light won't stay.
Think of me for another day.
Tempted desire and dark voices say
That I will dream of you again today.)

Woman of my dreams and nightmares,
When I sleep, I see you there.
Perfect and cruel, angelic and true,
All that I am is wrapped up in you.
So make me real and make me strong,
Because you knew I loved you all along.

Despair is the greatest vice of all,
And you twisted it to your angelic call.
But the hidden agendas of forgotten desire
Stirs within you like a muted fire.
Evil I cannot see, speak, or hear
Forever lingers in the darkness here.

(The silence fades but your voice won't stay.
Sing to me for another day.
Tempted liars and heart choices betray
A dream of you I had again today.)

Woman of my dreams and nightmares,
When I sleep, I see you there.
Perfect and cruel, angelic and true,
All that I am is wrapped up in you.
So make me real and make me strong,
Because you knew I loved you all along.

It's not unusual to feel such conflict
Though the actions of such often restrict
The burning passion to be a better man.
The darkness in you I have yet to understand,
But that doesn't mean you don't make me strong,
And that alone implies you aren't entirely wrong.

(The dreaming fades but the night won't stay.
Dream of me for another day.
Love never tires but rejoices dismays,
But I will dream of you again today.)

Woman of my dreams and nightmares,
When I sleep, I see you there.
Perfect and cruel, angelic and true,
All that I am is wrapped up in you.
So make me real and make me strong,
Because you knew I loved you all along.

"Take Away"
Suspend disbelief,
I find in you relief;
It takes apart and fills again.
On through my grief
You gave me new release
And proved yourself my dearest friend.
I know that I'm not what you need
And I can't be your shield,
But for you I'd fight and bleed
And never to them yield.

I know the strength within my veins;
It fills me up inside.
I know the love here past the pain
Is right before my eyes.
I'm not the same man I used to be
I'm greater than before;
I'll find the strength to make you see
That there is so much more.

Please, won't you take me away from this night...

Thoughts of you obscure,
And though you reassure,
There's something here I cannot see.
In you I mature,
As I long to secure
A future life with you with me.
I need something more than this;
A chance to prove my name.
I can't succumb to a cheapened kiss
In which to bring upon me shame.

I know the strength within my veins;
It fills me up inside.
I know the love here past the pain
Is right before my eyes.
I'm not the same man I used to be
I'm greater than before;
I'll find the strength to make you see
That there is so much more.

Please, won't you take me away from this sight...

And hold to a standard true,
And all in you in all I do,
I forever knew it was you,
The one who would carry me through.

I know the strength within my veins;
It fills me up inside.
I know the love here past the pain
Is right before my eyes.
I'm not the same man I used to be
I'm greater than before;
I'll find the strength to make you see
That there is so much more.

Please, won't you take me away from this fight...(x3)

I'm home for the weekend, and I thought I would give you all a special treat. This is a song of mine that I wrote, and then re-wrote it with the incredibly talented J.T. It's a beautiful contemporary R&B ballad.

'Ferris Wheel'

It was long ago, all too long ago,
When we said goodbye,
(And you had a tear in your eye)
I loved you so, and you'll never know,
How hard it was for me,
(And now I've never felt so lonely)

I thought for sure that I could move on,
Without you by my side,
There's nothing I could say in this sad song,
That could take what I did and make it justified,

You and me are like a ferris wheel,
Going round, and round, and round,
We had our ups and our downs,
But when it came down to it all,
I was right there by your side,
And I never let you fall,
We shared a love that was pure and real,
A love that was so surreal,
A love that went high into the sky,
We shared a love, like a ferris wheel,

Wishing to feel you,
Wanting to be in your arms,
(Where I'd be safe from harm)
Can't imagine what I put you through,
The pain you sustained,
(Feeling so empty and drained)

I was so convinced that I was right,
But I couldn't see it from your point of view,
And now late at night,
All I can think about is you,

You and me are like a ferris wheel,
Going round, and round, and round,
We had our ups and our downs,
But when it came down to it all,
I was right there by your side,
And I never let you fall,
We shared a love that was pure and real,
A love that was so surreal,
A love that went high into the sky,
We shared a love, like a ferris wheel,

I gotta be real with you baby,
Even if I thought just maybe,
You and me, could be,
I know deep inside,
That we're not right,
I could never be all of what you need,

Though I love you with all my heart,
Our love would only tear us apart,
I wish you the best of luck in the world,
And I'll always remember, when I was your girl,

You and me are like a ferris wheel,
Going round, and round, and round,
We had our ups and our downs,
But when it came down to it all,
I was right there by your side,
And I never let you fall,
We shared a love that was pure and real,
A love that was so surreal,
A love that went high into the sky,
We shared a love, like a ferris wheel.

"Tragic Tears"
I wonder when was the last time we spoke;
I remember vaguely how my voice choked,
And I remember reaching out for you,
But you pulled away and said we were through.
In broken pieces, I fell to my knees
While tears from heaven drifted in the breeze.

(I miss you so much;
I miss your soft touch;
If I could only profess
How I miss your caress.)

Your cool fingers running down my face
Are lost in the void of this forgotten place;
These memories of you so vague but true,
And my own dreams are of memories of you.
Won't you return and chase away my fears,
Or will you leave me with nothing but my tragic tears?

I recall you wrapping me in your embrace
While you planted a kiss upon my face.
No words were needed and I slipped away,
Holding you close so things would be okay.
I never thought I'd lose you to a ghost
Because I was the one who loved you most.

(I miss you so much;
I miss your soft touch;
If I could only profess
How I miss your caress.)

Your cool fingers running down my face
Are lost in the void of this forgotten place;
These memories of you so vague but true,
And my own dreams are of memories of you.
Won't you return and chase away my fears,
Or will you leave me with nothing but my tragic tears?

You got into my heart and still remain,
Giving me a peace in my greatest pain;
But you haunt me in my nighttime visions;
I forever lament your decision,
But like a wild bird, you had to fly free
While I cling to the hope that you'll return to me.

(I miss you so much;
I miss your soft touch;
If I could only profess
How I miss your caress.)

Your cool fingers running down my face
Are lost in the void of this forgotten place;
These memories of you so vague but true,
And my own dreams are of memories of you.
Won't you return and chase away my fears,
Or will you leave me with nothing but my tragic tears?

Darling, now and forever you shall be
The living embodiment of God's serenity.
And like the angels of God above,
I will love you with a sacred love.
And though I weep for you to be here,
Know that you put an end to my tragic tears.

Ack. I'm running out of material and notebook paper. Is anybody here willing to write a nearly senseless and nonsensical song but still manages to have meaning and the song title is not mentioned in the actual song, like so?

-------------------------------------------------
EMPTY MOON
--------------------------------------------------
I don't want to feel your pain
Sue somebody over a reference
Maybe they tried to be nice
In my opinion, your opinion's wrong

Why do I have to listen to kids rapping out of the blue?
They should shut up and write
Just scowlng and flipping my hair
I want to be unnoticed
.......and it's working!

Why does everyone think I hate myself?
They have it wrong
They're just mocking me
So I actually hate them.

---------------------------------------------------
KICK A WINDOW
----------------------------------------------------
Just wait until I could protect myself
I'm fed up but still not full
Let me be for at least a second
You're going to ignore, as usual

Must be because I'm all crazy
But you want me to go away
The way I look at you now, I need glasses
Because I don't know what I see.

I'm at this table
With nobody but myself
I never even noticed it
Too used to it now.

-----------------------------------------------------
FISH IN A DIRTY PRETZEL JAR
------------------------------------------------------
I don't want to feel your grief
I don't want to have the last laugh
And even if that was my mission
Well, I forget

Doesn't look good
You don't look at the inside
You just care how much I weigh
Even perhaps how tall I am

But no....
You got to go out of your way to steal
Indeed, the outdeed
Wait, what did I say?

-----------------------------------------------------
PEEKABOO
-----------------------------------------------------
This isn't too subtle
This is all I can say
This is just me
This is that guy

This is the guy that makes fake vinyl records
This the guy with my long hair
This is nothing compared to everything
This is me in all my glory?

This is the used-to-be geek
This is the misfit
This is the mystery
This is what you'll hear
That is my name.

So...yeah. I'm starting to get a touch of writer's block. Somebody help. Not just anybody. Help. Wait, when's the last time I heard that song?

Elysium

Ripping through these vines,
The temple of sacrements stands before me,
Mustering up the strength to move on,
I struggle, my feet fastened tight,
Shackles cutting into my ankles,
The sight of blood gives me motivation,
Slicing through flesh, the chains are loosened,
I crawl to the steps, beholding a garden,
Sweet smell of roses enters my system,
Faint from blood loss, I give in to unconsciousness,
I awake in a field of wheat,
Far away from the desolate jungle,
I stand up, brushing the dirt off of my body,
Looking ahead I see my reward,
I have atoned for my sins,
The journey was all that was required,
I inhale deeply and take in paradise,
My conscience may rest eternally,
My soul has been liberated,
The Elysian Fields will be my final resting place.

Not starting anything religious, mods I beg of you do not shut this thread down because of this post, it is just a poem that I wrote. If you deem it necessary remove the post, or even give me some skulls, but please do not close this thread, it's too good.

Sheltered

As the rain pours down and the lightning begins,
I feel my whole self slowly caving in,
Giving in to corruption, I can't escape my fate,
My end is finally realized, as my body begins to shake,
My thoughts are soured from the words of other men,
My soul is in a rut, I'm giving in to sin,
My room begins to darken, my windows and door shut,
And I hear Satan's whisper, "I've got everything you want."
Alas, there is another being, who will free me from this cage,
A being who cares about me, and will clear my heart of rage,
I will leave Satan's grasp, and seek this higher power,
I looked out my window, and my eyes beheld a flower,
The storm was finally over, and the sun was shining in,
As I then began to see, God had freed my soul from sin.

Nah, it's not complete taboo to the point where you can't write a song about it and get skulled. It's just that you can't go like "Who's Your God?" because it'll result in a flame bigger than Homer got when his barbecue grill screwed up.

Okay, anyways, I'll put in a few more songs and try to get at least some sleep. I've been having this huge crush on this girl who flirts with me, resulting in a few lovey-dovey mush songs or in the random lyrics I throw in, especially in 'Red Face'. Crap. I hope I don't turn into Michael Bolton.

-----------------------
NO KIDDING?
------------------------
There's always someone that has it worse
And I know some others
He collapses in the hallway
And I think she hates herself

I fell down the stairs like everybody
She gives me a hug every other day
And I'm confused
I thought everybody hated me
Maybe she's an outcast too

They're fed up with feedback
Just slow it down
You wish you had you brain
What the heck are you?

---------------------
RED FACE
---------------------
I don't know how to control it
Just take away the fear
So I'm not such a chicken
She's giving me the shakes

Shy away
Say hello
I hardly know who I am
Because life's confusing me now

I feel lucky
But somehow, I feel like a dope
Guess I'm just desperate
Just putting my head on the table
Just out of shyness.

Thanks for the compliment. You just made my day.

"Hope of a Return"
Stolen from secrets shadowed from sight,
Many men move over to match their might
Against the venom of a denizen surreal
All for the chance to prove what they feel.
A woman of virtue is one worth dying for,
And that alone is enough; why need more?
With her ribbon in my pocket, her name upon my heart,
I march off to battle with the devils of the dark.

You take the life that's in your hands
And you make them understand
That living proud is for the weak
But you can love me;
And like a banner overhead,
You stood proud and died instead,
And now there's something that I see:
Just how much you loved me...

Changes of nature in nothing's night,
Freedom flees from those without a fight,
And daring people of hidden advocations
Offer up their sacred adorations.
Off to war and off to hell; leave nothing behind;
Should I die before I wake, you shall find
That name shall echoes throughout the abyss,
Sealed forever by her crimson kiss.

You take the life that's in your hands
And you make them understand
That living proud is for the weak
But you can love me;
And like a banner overhead,
You stood proud and died instead,
And now there's something that I see:
Just how much you loved me...

Oh, so slow. Let it all go.
Make is so, you should know
That blow for blow brought me low,
And that fabled figure did enshrine
A secret in me that's forever mine,
And that forever made me thine;
And when I return to you someday,
No act of heaven or hell could tear me away.

You take the life that's in your hands
And you make them understand
That living proud is for the weak
But you can love me;
And like a banner overhead,
You stood proud and died instead,
And now there's something that I see:
Just how much you loved me...

Killed Me Inside
______________


You take away and I can't stand,
On my own to feet I'm about to break,
I know that you can't understand,
But at least try if just for my sake,
Something about us is just so wrong,
And I know that you don't want to hear it,
But I guess you knew that all along,
But something inside just won't let me quit.

And now I'm standing, standing alone,
Hope you know you've killed me inside.

Back when we were in love,
Nothing seemed wrong, nothing could stop us,
Swore you were a gift from above,
Our relationship was built soley on trust,
Now you use me and I can't stand,
To see your face I hope you pay,
My feelings for you have all gone bland,
Thank God it will all be over, just not today.

And now I'm standing, standing alone,
Hope you know you've killed me inside.

Maybe tomorrow, this will all just be a dream,
Maybe tomorrow, this will all just disappear,
Maybe tomorrow, you will leave my heart alone,
Maybe tomorrow, you will get a heart of your own.

And now I'm standing, standing alone,
Hope you know you've killed me inside.

Had my share of 'pookies'
seen a lot of nookie,
so why is that when Im with you
I feel like Im gonna toss my cookies
U live as far as my boi dukie
speeding to you house got me stopped by the bookie
to keep the animal in me I need a team of zookeep
I feel like a boy
lookie lookie
If I was still in school
Id damn sure play hookie, to see u in class
I wanted to be tough but the real truth was
I felt like my cookies was about to toss
dirtying your toes to me would have been a loss
I 'swept you off your feet' and,
carried you across
I saw that the way I spoke was making your eyes gloss
and I was really nervous mouth dry because
I aint felt like this n a while
havent been fiendin that much for a smile
but one from you swept the pile
of shit i've been through lately
Im tellin you this
you're living bliss,
from laying on the grass and our spider man kiss
and how you told me you love my lips
and I love yours,
which are softer than the cream that whips
I wanna shower you in gifts,
quit my last job
to be near the closest thing that lifts
my soul is floating
you're lifes sugar coating
you're so real,
you keep my head from bloating
impressed by the philosophers you're quoting
resorting to the best of my knowledge to seem
like a guy befitting of his gleam
and be the best I can in a man
be your definition of genuine...

"Question"
Elements of truth conflict with the reality in you;
There's too much love for this brutality to be true,
And in the gasping air of a darkened sky,
A lone boy sits alone and softly cries,
Asking a God above why he is so unloved,
And wondering when his life will be full enough.

Trapped in the angst of an angel's wrathful maze,
The confused wanderer avoids her bashful gaze,
And shrinks away into the solitude of his mind,
Shaking the strings of his golden heart that bind
His life to hers, his will with hers, and all it is
Flees in the night and all that's left is this.

Empty and alone, with a heart of cold stone,
He wonders if he'll live a life to be old but alone,
And there forsaken in the despair of his brain,
He lashes out at the void with a cry of pain,
And brushes it aside like a bag of sawdust,
His mind overcome with the truth of broken trust.

Why would a God above take from him his only love?
Why would Satan delight in tearing off the wings of a dove?
What answers can you give to the questions at hand,
And what truth can you give that would help him understand?
It's not of me; it's of a higher plain of origin,
And we may never know, due to inherent, original sin.

But that doesn't make the pain any less painful,
And the views he has are nonetheless disdainful,
And his cries for retribution can never be heard
As he grasps the bloody wings of a dead, snow-white bird.
No peace and solace for that boy; he lives in confusion,
Living a life in the shadow of a past illusion.

"EndSong"
Eyes of shadow's light,
Too enchanting for my sight,
Framed by the fountain of your hair,
With angelic features beyond compare.
In soft, silken satin, you lay at rest,
Your lips slightly open; your hand on your breast,
Clutching that pendant that I gave to you
So long ago before we both knew
That you and I would be together,
Entwined in mind and soul forever.

Lifelike in its subtle projections,
Your voice offers calm correction,
And I grasp you with my arms,
Embracing you; protecting you from harm.
There's not a creature like you here,
And in my heart I shelter your confessed fears.
Do not fret; I shall chase them all away,
And come back to you to hold you again some day.
Were the stars to fall from their cradles above,
I would stand it all to feel your eternal love.

In you lies a spirit so free and so wild,
Harbored in you since you were a child;
Your games would be missed with the coming of age,
And at the start of something new, we turn the page,
And I find in you a different sort of spirit,
Speaking to me softly so I can faintly hear it.
And as the sky shatters and the world falls apart,
I run to you for you alone hold my heart.

Angel, so true; there's a princess in you,
And through all the years, I've held true
To those vows that I made to you on the day,
Remembering every word and price that I'd pay,
And as the years faded away, leaving us alone,
The secret sins of my past I struggle to atone.
And so I left, leaving you crying out my name,
But where I to stay, you'd find I would not be the same.

And now I have returned, and you changed instead.
That free spirit in you has become dry and dead.
In weak tears no amount of torture could bring out,
I grasp you tight as tender apologies I shout.
The scars on my body may some day heal,
But the pain underneath I shall forever feel.
They love for me has faded to powdered dust,
And my will to live crumbles with the earth's crust.

The fire from heaven screams through the night,
And in the burning flames, I see that forgotten light
Deep within your eyes as you wipe away my tears,
And told me that I had indeed chased away your fears.
You cradle my head and tell me that you shall live again,
Even if that love shall be to someone no more than a friend.
I promised you there, that I'd fight to reclaim such fire,
And that alone became my only, noble desire.

And the years faded away, and still I thought of you,
Every second of the day, wondering what I should do.
I sought you out and chased you down to the brink,
To the end of the earth itself, I would very well think.
And there you stood, my heart in your hands,
And in salt water tears, you told me your plans.
I died so that you may live, and she died herself as well,
And now that we're both alive again, there's much to tell.

Let the earth shake and the oceans quake,
And let the heavens learn from our mistakes.
I was a fool, but obtained a wisdom in my life,
Tearing through the barriers in the arms of my wife.
And as the shadows faded away from our past,
We find a truth that is strong enought to last,
And here we stand, at the end of the world,
Just myself, a child, and the mother of my baby girl.

"Take Me Home"
So far from you, so far from me,
Out on the edge of false reality.
Tired of the struggle, I fall to the earth;
The weight of my promise is a curse,
But I shoulder it all and press on,
Because I am not weak, I am strong,
And I have something, someone,
To go home to when I'm done.

Take me home to that place I belong,
Make me weak but make me strong,
And I know that you knew all along
That for you I'd forever press on,
Because I have someone waiting for me,
And I would travel to you for all eternity.

Over mountain and across the sea,
I travel through the very darkness inside me,
Following a light so dim yet so bright,
Guiding me through the darkest night,
And carrying me through the thickest sleet,
But never so weak as to kneel and accept defeat.
I scream your name against the open sky,
And I travel on as the rest of my life passes me by.

Take me home to that place in our song,
Breaking me, but know that it was never wrong,
As I travel down the path that stretches forever long,
I forever journey to that land beyond the new dawn,
Because I have someone waiting for me,
And for her I'd travel for all of eternity.

I hear your name in the wind on the mountains,
I feel your touch as my lips touch the fountains,
I smell your fragrance in the night air of the valley,
And I feel your love as I near my grand finale.
In death do I sleep and in silence do I weep,
And I travel on for that solemn promise I keep.
I shall seek you out through all my days
Because I have a debt towards you I must repay.

Take me home where my memories belong,
Take me to that place now long gone.
Wake me up to the place I dreamed upon,
And where where my love for you still holds strong.
I travel for I have someone waiting for me,
Out on the edges of my sweet eternity.

"State of Mind"
Through the struggles of my short life,
I've dealt with a lot of angst, anger, and strife,
And suffered a lot for the sake of love,
And almost lost faith in my God above.
But I'm still here, with a message to prove,
But still here with my demons yet to remove.
I have a meaning to my life I don't understand,
But I feel that this pain has made me a better man.

The loss of someone dear is forever deep
Within my heart and soul, and I still weep,
But that doesn't mean that I'm not strong,
Or that these things I feel are entirely wrong.
The self-sacrificing nature of my heart
Is the virtue that keeps me from being torn apart.
People misunderstand and think me a masochist,
And I'll admit I once thought of slitting my wrist.

But I'm not the same person I was years ago;
There is so much more I need to know.
True, I want to die a death for the sake of another,
But if you search deeper, then you'll discover,
That I want to live my life as well, full and complete,
And if that's the case, then I can't accept defeat.
I survive because I have my God to lean on,
And that doesn't make me weak; it makes me strong.

The actions of my past fuel my actions in the present,
And through the mistakes of that past, I forever lament,
But I don't regret a thing I've done in my life, even now,
Because it will all work out for good, some way, some how.
Like the heroes I read about when I was so very young,
I'll live my life courageously and true, if I were forever unsung,
Because that's the person I really am and will forever be,
One who wanted her to be happy, even if she weren't with me.

In retrospect, I guess I could have said something different,
Something to keep her close and cease this torment,
But that can't change, and I must accept the truth as it is,
Because this life isn't mine at all; it is forever His.
Let me bleed, but let me smile, in this life that I live,
And let this heart be the greatest thing that I could give,
And let me make my stand, power within my veins,
And give me strength to endure the years of pain.

Such a cruel but wonderful thing is this thing we call love.
The visions of her I hope that I shall ever dream of.
Know that if this life of mine were to end today,
I'd consider it complete, because she'd be okay.
But I don't plan on dying any time soon; I've just begun,
And I have a long road ahead of me before I'm done.
So, with a smile, I endure pain and bliss and so much more,
And I still live and love, because I have much to live for.

You know, I really can't carry this thread on my own, guys...

"Comprehend"
Stop for a moment and see the light;
All you've stood for isn't worth a fight.
Your anger and your rage will desolve
And you'll have to struggle to resolve
The conflict between you and the rest,
So find something stronger to hold to the test.
Do you think you understand my grief?
Could you realize how she gave me relief?
Or will you only accept your tragic loss,
And deal with the fate of your coin toss?

Stop for a moment and try and accept
That you're not truly as capable or adept
As you thought you were in this conflict.
The feelings you feel I doubt are legit,
But I'm in no position to judge, and neither are you,
So don't pretend that what you feel is true.
The hope in you is the hope in us all,
And you either accept that or take your fall.
What she means to me, means to you,
Is something only she can choose to do.

Stop for a moment and think about the past,
And remember the time your love would last.
That was long ago and we were still so naive,
But that doesn't mean you don't have to believe
In the hope of tomorrow, of finding your match,
And when you do, hold her close and latch
Onto her with all the strength within your arms,
And do all you can to keep her from harm.
Remember the vows you made to God that night,
And never let her go without a valiant fight.

nick man "flirt" was some of the best I seen from you, props duke...
experience...?

It all came together in my mind
I know I had the feel for it, but the look
I know I seemed inclined
to do harm to duke
I cant recall was it late night
or very early morn
my mind set on the fight
brought a intent born
heart raced
breath quickened
fast paced
mind sickened
He had been told
I am cold hearted
and I wont fold
even if I forgot how it all started
the deafening sound
I said to watch his tone
and it wasnt long till I found
he was not alone
so I became prone
I was being attacked
I had to break bones
from someone out of the pack
certain matters had yet to be atoned
we had squashed beef
but nothing was ever set in stone
so I’ll smash your teeth
for a while I watched how he’d sit and pretend
and joke on a matter that would have no end
I know what u intend not to pending
Just awaiting the end of my pretending friend
you and your boys shoulda fucked me up for a cheap thrill
but you went and fucked up and involved my girl
arrogance and impatience mixed in me , no soul
no further warnings consider yourself told
whatever u try on her I’ll do to you a thousand times fold
and will not resolve it’ll all revolve around your body’s cold
fuck with whats mine and invade my space,
I’ll give you the definition of a basket case
then stay away from the darkest place
a mortuary’s a favor and fill a caskets space
I will find and pierce your flesh
Till u either choke on blood or cough it on my face
Seemingly vanished without a trace, off the phase
Touched base and get you closer to God
Paint tears on the faces of your moms and your dad
Make you instantly disposed from everything you had...

On a different note...

"Through the Circuit"
Betsy was a country girl,
Cowboy hat and blondish curls;
Wore short shorts and an orange top
And had a libido that would never stop.
With her backwoods living and twany moans,
She knew how to ride the boys all the way home.
Her red plaid shirt was always too tight,
With a few buttons gone, cleavage well in sight,
And those freckles were adorable and cute,
And her butt wiggled when she wore her cowboy boots.

Victoria was a girl with a persistent cough,
Always pale and thin, but she was also a goth.
Always wore black, lipstick, hair, and nails,
And some said she even had a biforcated tail.
She was into black leather and kinky hard sex,
And everyone said the nights were veritable train wrecks.
She had voodoo dolls of the pretty girls at school,
And she never said a word, as if it were a rule.
She joined a cult or something in her late teens,
And she loved me a lot 'cause I was born on Halloween.

Ivy was a preppy chick with gusto and spunk,
And she was always seen with her newest boy hunk.
She was popular and sassy, and flaunted her stuff,
And for her all the guys flexed and acted all tough.
She had her pick of the litter, always dumb and strong;
She'd take 'em and break 'em and send them along.
As cheerleading captain, she thought she had it all,
But broke her leg one day in a cheerleading fall.
She was okay 'cause all the guys came to her bed
And signed her leg cast while she gave 'em head.

Halley was a skater bois' only desire
Since she could get air longer and higher
Than all the other posers who got on a board,
But she loved to skate; everything else she ignored.
She was an extremist by day, punk rocker by night,
And to everyone who saw her, she was a perfect delight.
Low-riding jeans that just showed her crack,
The guys drooled even at the angel wing tattoos on her back.
She was all action and colorful vocal talk
Who put the guys aside to ride like Tony Hawk.

Stephanie was a shy, book-wormish one,
Always in the library and never having fun.
She had thick-rimmed glasses and wore hefty sweaters,
Looking Velma from Scooby-Doo, but a lot better.
Everyone thought she was a dork and a nerd,
But some guy figured out what he had always heard.
All the reading gave her plenty of fresh thoughts,
And soon she became something smoldering hot.
It really paid off, all those sex-ed books she read.
And I guess nerds really are better in bed.

Hannah was a girl trapped in the past,
A living rainbow of a time that couldn't last.
She was into disco and go-go boots and tie-dye galore,
Spouting peace signs that said "Make love but not war."
"Save the whales!" "Beatles forever!" "Peace out, man."
She lived in a world only my parents could understand.
But she was cute and pretty, behind her specs of purple glass,
And she got plenty of guys checkin' out her cute ass.
Her free life-style eventually got the best of her, though,
'Cause she forgot condoms were invented not so long ago.

Nancy was a girl unique to herself,
A girl of strong character but truly poor health.
She was the one she had so little self-respect
That she thought everything about her was a God-given defect.
She was gorgeous and lovely, with a smile so bright,
But she freaked out when her old jeans got too tight.
Crash diets and diet cokes became her routine,
But some of the guys still decided to be mean.
She wanted to be the next model, throughout and through in,
So she threw up after every meal so she could finally be thin.

Laura was a different study to be sure;
She certainly had assests one could hardly ignore.
All the guys in the class used to oogle and drool
While she threw them questions and they acted like fools.
But, as a part-time teacher, she gave them the grade;
God only knows how many of those idiots she laid.
Everyone was hot for teacher but she knew her place,
So she kept it all hidden to hide her disgrace.
She taught basic physics, about watts, volts, and ohms,
But she didn't know who were the fathers of her kids back a home.

Cassie was the one that caught my eye,
Something different about her, but I didn't know why.
She was pretty to be sure, but there were plenty of hotties,
But, unlike them, she didn't flaunt it or act naughty.
She was decent in dress, a little skin here and there,
With fine attention to her make-up and her hair,
But it wasn't that that got me addicted like a drug,
It was the singular fact that she gave me a hug.
There are plenty of beautiful women in this world,
But I have yet to find one with the true beauty of this girl.

I remember the first time I saw you,
walking around Central Park with your puppy.
The first thing I realized about you was your swagger,
something about it was so sexy to me.

I remember the first time you spoke to me,
telling me those sweet things you wanted to know about me,
like what made me cry when I caught your eye.
Maybe at that point I was too blind to see,
that you might be that one for me.
When you told me you wanted me to be your girl,
I knew this was meant to be.

I remember the first time you touched me,
wrapping your arms around me,
letting your hands graze the small of my back ever so lightly.

I remember the first time you kissed me,
so passionately.
I'll admit, the first time, the way it felt made me wanna flee,
because you see...
I was scared to let my heart free.

I've been hurt before,
and my eyes are sore,
from all the tears I've cried before.
But now, everything feels so right.
You've lead me to the light.
Showed me the good in my life.

And now... I can finally say...
baby, I'm here to stay.
And to answer your question, you've gotten the best of me.

Love, Your Annie.
