"You can give but you can't take, love is a bond not something you could fake"


Dreams of darkness filled with sound. An abysmal dark with only my thoughts around.
Nothing to see, only things to hear. Whispers of wishes and screams of fear.
Shadows of paranoia so subtle yet burning. Follows questions i can't forget lurking.
No answers imagined within this mind. A black hole where light has never shined.
A place where memories forever burn, a place where experiences are the only thing to learn.
The only facade are recollections of the fake and phony. Disturbed by questions like how did i ever consider him homie?
Traces of influence by that of who are now enemies. Corrupted beyond repair since we crossed destinies.
Striving for a change of heart to free my soul. Tired of nonchalantly playing my part during life's stroll.
Being the one to endure the pain of others. Soaking all the tears shed for fallen brothers.
A child born with responsibilities of a father. Grown up now but numb so why bother?
Love is a virtuous luxury at the expense of the pure. So don't sell me yours as compensation for doing your chore.
I do what's right for the good of my kin. I'm not perfect but i try not to sin.
Lonely is a thought expressed by those who want company. So alone is a feeling you'd never hear come from me.
"Leave me be" is the voice of not only my soul but my heart. It wasn't my choice because it's been my role since the start.

i drew from experiences such as being betrayed & used by both family & friends to explain how greatly it has impacted me throughout life & caused me to be who i am & extremely responsible since a young age
