step one : admitting the problem

  lets make one thing perfectly clear. i don't understand people, especially the ones closest to me. i don't understand their logic, and it frustrates me to no end to see them behave like idiots when i know they are perfectly capable of being better. 

  the information has never been more readily available in this world yet people are still arrogant, ignorant, and stupid. no one seems to want to do the work and actually figure out anything for themselves. no one has any pride in achieving anything or accomplishing a goal. everyone is just floating along like a robots running into walls with vacant expressions. i have never been more confused and more disgusted in the things i see on a daily basis and it just makes me feel more separated and i yearn for increased isolation from these people. the fact that we have a common bond in species is enough to sicken me. i don't feel any sort of kinship to these people or any sort of pity. its only disgust and anger, and most nights it keeps me awake knowing that they are just outside the door, shooting or raping each other and licking the blood off the knife. 

  some would say that i choose to look at only the negative. i disagree, and i think the correct answer is i choose to not lie to myself or anyone else. i choose to not pull the veil over my eyes and tell everyone that everything is ok. i see what i see, and i call it like i see it. it's right in front of everyones eyes and no one wants to acknowledge it because the first step is admitting there is a problem. the first step, so they say, is the hardest step. i think the entire world has a problem with denial. your apathy and "turn the other cheek" attitude wont save the world any more than my negative outlook, so i don't feel that your ways are any better than mine, and have not gotten any better results than mine, so spare me that cop out of an excuse. 

  i live among liars and cheaters. cowards that can't consider life worth living if they have to admit all the horror and sadness that is reality in this world. i am not the fool here, my views are backed by evidence. you need only look out your front door or windows and see the truth. i don't regard my pessimistic view as one perspective of the world, i regard it as the world itself. 

  i can't see anything worse or cheap as living a life only trying to focus on the "good things". thats denial, and rationalization, and to me that is the weakest most petty thing you could possibly do as a human being and a creature of this world. that behavior will only perpetuate suffering and will only make the trauma that much worse when it all finally falls on your head, and believe me, it will. 

  what i see is conspiracy on a global scale. a mass conspiracy of liars holding up each others lies and perpetuating the lie so that everyone can walk through the wreckage and smile a fake smile in the face of the starving child begging for a hand out. my view of the world can be summed up into one little short story of the happy-go-lucky person walking the streets and ignoring the homeless and suffering that are right in front of their eyes. looking up at the clouds so they don't have to see the bleeding, dying, unhappy fellow humans begging for their help or for it to all be over. out of sight, out of mind as they say. the motto of betrayal, the motto of the happy. happiness is a false front. its a lie. it's an unattainable goal, and anyone that tells me they have achieved it, well then i will show you a charlatan, a liar. happiness is lying to yourself. happiness is the conspiracy. i will never buy into this lie. what goes up must come down, and those who buy in eventually sell out. this is written into our history and reproves itself time and again. 

  i do not believe you cowards, and i would rather die than be anything that resembles you fools.

You cunt

So you're back
Planting new evidence
And starting new fires for everyone to run around and put out
Don't look at me that way
With those big come hither eyes
You are not welcome inside of my bubble
My circle of friends walks on egg shells around your kind
You are cancer with pretty skin
This means nothing
This changes nothing
Ive got my eye on you Continue reading →

Walking into a therapists office is always a strange thing because your misery is a very private and personal thing and suddenly you are in an office with other people and you can't help but wonder what they are there for. Of course, for common reasons, but usually these people don't look any different than anyone else and you have to wonder what kind of darkness they are hiding. You can feel a certain sizing each other up vibe. It's weird how everyone is just sitting around each other. It's probably the biggest grouping of damaged people that are gathered which is not characteristic of damaged people. We tend to stick to ourselves and never really meet in groups. I always feel awkward, wondering what people think about me.  Continue reading →

sex as conquest

i have never had much of an interest in sex. it just isn't and has never been an important part of my life. its also probably why women have never been an important part of my life, and i've only had 2 girl friends in my entire 29 years. 

women literally can't stand when you don't want to fuck them, or find them desirable. they just don't know what to do because then they have no power over you. i have never seen a girl more frustrated or pissed off than i have when their advances aren't working on me. i've thrown girls out of my house, i've kicked girls out of my van on tour. i've even pulled my face away from girls trying to kiss me, even just on the cheek. 

if i don't know you, i don't trust you, and i certainly have no interest in intimacy of any kind with you. i've had girls chase me for years just trying to get my attention. honestly, i feel bad sometimes, but i'm not a fucking test, and i have no use for people who are only interested in conquering me because of some image of me being some kind of test. 

my first girlfriend chased me for two years in high school, and when i finally cracked because i felt like i had to, she even admitted to me that she was obsessed with me because i didn't pay attention to her and i was "such a mystery". she had to find out, she had to keep after me, even when i spurned her advances so hard that it made her feel like shit about herself.

she used to sit next to me in art class, not my choice, and she would try to get me to talk to her which usually ended in me rolling my eyes or just ignoring her completely. once she put her head on my shoulder, and i shrugged her off. i was pissed so i looked at her like i was wanted to punch her and i said angrily, "what the fuck are you doing?" to which she sighed and said "fuck you." like i was the one who did something wrong. so i said, "whatever, don't just fucking put your head on my shoulder. what the fuck is wrong with you?" she didn't talk to me for the rest of class, but a few days later she was back at it. 

that relationship ended in misery. i dated her for a long time. i actually dated her twice. the first time i didn't have sex with her. we dated for like a year and i didn't have sex with her cause i was a virgin at the time, she was definitely a pro at this point, and i was not ready. i just didn't care. this was a huge subject of repeated fights and arguments. she hated it. she felt gross and ugly and she felt like i didn't find her attractive, which was hard for her cause she was one of the "hot" girls in school and every guy wanted her. what an attack to her ego, but who the fuck cares how i felt, or what i was ready for. it was the most selfish exchanges i have had with a female, not many others compare, but a few do. 

im sorry ladies, but i don't want to fuck you. my dick does not control my life and showing a little more skin or flashing your eyes is not going to let you control me. a lot of people think this is sad and that my existence is miserable and dark. as a matter of fact its pretty peaceful. im not controlled by stupid fucking hormones and i stay out of trouble that can come from involvement with "pussy". 

sex as conquest is sad and boring to me. i abstain and i have contempt for most of you weak, pathetic fools.

and i quote....months from now, or maybe even years. he's gonna be drunk somewhere telling someone "i fucked that up, badly!" this time though, its not gonna be me listening to his drunken stupor. it's gonna be someone else that he tells his sad little tales to while he stays afraid of everything and drinks his stupid pathetic life away. he doesn't have the balls to actually do something unless he's riding someone else's coat tails. this why he has no sober friends anymore, cause you can't lie to sober people and expect them to forgive you every time. he surrounds himself with drunks and junkies cause there he can be a piece of shit and sit in his filth and do nothing cause he's oh so sad. grow a pair of nuts and maybe try to at least do something with your life dude. you're almost thirty and you havent done shit, but this kid has the guts to tell me that i'm being an ass? look in the mirror, prick. you are a fuck up, and you will be a fuck up for the rest of your life because its a habit that you cant break. you will never break it, ever. you will continue this cycle of bullshit because secretly you love it, it keeps you down, keeps you sad, keeps you different. you love to be different. oh so different. thats only what you tell yourself though cause you lie to yourself. you know better than i do that you're not different, you're just a sad brain that doesnt want to do anything, has all the talent and capabilities in the world, has had all the chances in the world thrown at him, and he was just too fucking lazy to maybe pick one up and pull himself out of the mess, but no. No, just sit in the mess cause it's your home and its right where you belong. way ta go, now you've really hit bottom. when the liquor and the drugs are gone those friends are gonna send you packing and you are just gonna miss us, but you tried to have your cake and eat it too. see you on the other side, through the bars, looking in you fucking waste of time. you have yourself to blame. no, im not perfect either. im flawed and scarred just the same. what makes me different, is i do what i say im gonna do. i set goals and accomplish them. i may be fucked up but i put my money where my mouth is and do everything i set out to do. you, all you do is talk. you've always been and always will be, ALL  TALK. thats you in a nutshell. you talk a great game, but when it comes to action, theres nothing to back you, theres no force in your punches. big mouth, thats all you are, and this is coming from another big mouth, but i talk because i have something to say and the means to back it up. you, you just like to hear yourself talk. you're a fool, and you're just too lazy to give a shit so you just want to rot away. well fuck you, im not gonna sit around and watch you do it. fuck you and everything you ever fucking said to me you spineless coward. have fun driving drunk, this time im not gonna rescue you. hows that ankle? stings dont it? still not enough of a reminder for you to change it up, nope, you're still gonna drink, cause thats what fuck ups do. have a nice life kid, you aint worth it.

if all the people in the world who wanted to die were just let alone to die at their will then the world would be a much happier less populated place. you should have the right to die. its absurd that we don't have that.

i have avoided the world. im almost thirty and i've definitely avoided the entire world. i've become something else. people go out and do things and they are in touch with whats happening now, whats up with the world, while i remain here and isolated among my things, taking in vast information and learning in leaps and bounds. i read books, i write songs. i have surpassed all of my peers. what a lonely existence this is. i didn't do it out of smugness, i didn't want to hurt anyones feelings. i just couldn't relate to anyone. everyone was so caught up in themselves, and i got caught up in them too and it just left me broken. so now i stay away to do my own thing. the loner looks on, takes it all in, and deciphers what everyone is talking about. its a different world out there, and i don't want to be a part of it.

i know you read this.

how does that feel, huh? to be caught when you thought you were being totally anonymous.

i want you to know, its ok. i get it. i just know you read this. you want to keep tabs on me, see what goes on in my head without actually having to talk to me. cause to talk to me is a chore. my mouth is a gun and you hate to dodge bullets all the time. its stressful.

how could you not read this? i would do the same if the roles were reversed, but they aren't, and here you are, and i am on to you.

you're not allowed around me. stay away from me.

thats just where i want you, at a cold distance, afraid of confrontation. this is a power i hold over you because you let me. you have only yourself to blame. it was so easy, i just locked you up, just like that.

now who do you talk to? doesn't feel quite as right, does it. like i said, your fault. we both know you're a liar, and im telling the entire world. Continue reading →

farewell, my concubine

and i know too well what it is to ache

cause we're only as strong as the bonds we break

i swear to god its your new hobby to lie to me

i feel like disappearing but you don't see me anyway

we're chewing our tongues to try not to speak

one more phone call

this is becoming

loud and clear but

you're not listening

i see no point in

trying to make things right

you had everything

you deserve nothing

you deserve this

you gonna have to learn to live

with guilt

i want out

i wash my hands of this

and i have nothing left to say before the waves carry me away

i'll let you down so hard, stay angry with me

so whats the point in trying to figure it all out anyway

you live life like a dog, expect to walk in shit

you should have been dead so long ago

im dressing the walls of this hole

i think now im learning to call it home

keep your head down, walk slowly

so rain wont hit your face

keep moving, don't look back

just walk away

it pisses you off to see other people depressed and isolating themselves because it just shows you how to yourself appear to others and you can't stand that.

you hate seeing it mirrored back to yourself.

but at the same time, what can you do to change it? you see it for all its flaws, you see how ridiculous it is but when in those moods it doesnt matter. you are not that same person as you were when observing the behavior from someone else. you are in your disorder and it has ahold of your brain.

i kept trying to come to a realization of why she still turns my stomach. why the mention of her name or her coming up in conversation just burned by blood. finally i understand it, she's so phony. she's completely fake and hollow, and it pisses me off cause i was fooled. i saw glimpses of it but i was in too deep and far to close to see it for what it is. now i realize, everything she ever said, any cause she ever stood for, every moving word that ever came out of her mouth wasn't true. it was all a costume, a play, a mask she wore, because inside she's nothing. she has no content, she has no personality, she is nothing without pretending to be someone or something else. i have been closer than most and i have seen it first hand and now i realize just how fake she is and how much lies she spreads around. she has everyone convinced and it pisses me off cause my friends are buying the lie. she has a lot of people fooled and it's just sad, and stupid. mostly, i'm angry because she fooled me, but she played that game better than anyone i have ever seen, and i don't like to be fooled, but i am no game player. i was honest from the get go, and i still hold true to everything i ever stood for. if you're reading this, you are a phony, and you are a liar. you should carve that into your arm one more time cause your father was right. you are so fake that it sickens me. it sickens me that we were ever together and that i let you drain me of everything i had, just to keep you safe. i will not make that mistake again. you are dismissed.

something tells me you can't hear me

you get so tired of "trying again"

there's no good fish left in the sea

there's nothing new under the sky

all the girls are broken and used up

licking their wounds and floating in limbo

holding onto false hopes

that the one who burned them

will someday come back and make it all ok

while better men remain alone and are left wanting

you can't un-see it, once you see it

once you switch that part of you on

and you can see right through the masks that everyone wears

they can't sell it anymore

they all look so pathetic

like starving dogs begging for food

and it just makes me feel lonelier and lonelier

all these women with the depth of a puddle

i want oceans

the good men are alone, the real men are overlooked

you say what you don't mean, and your actions speak for you

someone please, for the love of God, wake me up from this nightmare

if you're out there

i need you now, more than ever

something tells me you can't hear me

something tells me you are not real

it's getting harder and harder to shake it off

and to keep believing

faith is a cruel and unfair concept

every living creature on this earth dies alone

pig in a cage

it must feel so good to sell out your convictions

and be a shell of your former self

im sure it's a lot like shooting heroin

its so bad, but it feels so good

you are a slave to the glamour and the luxury

you are a weak, pathetic fool

you stopped fighting

you stopped giving a shit

you curled up on the floor and let them nest you

with all their bullshit

and i am ashamed of you

ashamed to ever have called you friend

i have wounds that mean more to me than you

you are the greatest liar i have ever encountered

and you are stuck in your hell that you created for yourself

because you just want to wash it down 

smoke it away

and fade into obscurity through smoke filled haze

you are a liar

and you will always be a liar

no one trusts you

you exist among thieves, and scum

people who would sell you out given the right opportunity

and i cant wait to see you fall

i cant wait to kick you right in the ribs when you are down and out

i will have my revenge

i will make sure you see my face, you look right into my fucking eyes

when i smile and laugh at you

cause you are just a washed up piece of shit

rant. pissy. miserable. people are garbage around here.

 I came to a huge realization the other day. I can't be with someone. There is a side to me that is very dangerous and unpredictable and during times of stress I have trouble controlling it. Girls around this town do nothing but flirt and fuck with my head. All I keep hearing is "I need a real man", well I am a real man so how come I'm always single. I don't hit, I don't cheat, I don't lie, I don't steal, I don't use. I am as real as they come, but whenever I put myself out there, girls get overwhelmed. It's too real for them. Well what the fuck? Where's the line?

 I realized that I can't take getting fucked over. It takes me way longer to recover from that shit than it does normal people cause I'm a naturally depressed person, and maybe one of those times that someone does something shitty to me I just might not have the strength to stop myself and I might actually go through with it and kill myself. I have a lot of shit to do with my life and I have a lot of good things coming up, so I can't allow myself to be in a situation where someone brings me to that level. So I have to pull myself back in and abstain from relationships and girls because right now they are all driving me crazy and none of them know what they want. It seem's like every girl I meet is so broken that she can't believe that I'm real. I've literally had girls tell me "I can't believe you're real." Well I fucking am and i have all this love inside of me just burning a hole through my fucking soul, and no one wants it. No one is worthy of it, and no one would appreciate it. It makes me feel so fucking lonely.

 People expect me to be something I'm not. They expect me to be this person because of the music I'm involved in. They expect me to be a big shot, or someone that can get them somewhere, and then when they get in close they don't like what they see, they aren't prepared for it and all they see is sadness so they run for the fucking hills and I'm just really tired of letting these people in thinking they have good intentions and they can handle my weirdness, but no, they can't. They get freaked out and they run away. It's too real for them. They didn't know what they wanted in the first place and found that out real quick as soon as they entered my world. For me, it takes a chunk out of my soul every time someone runs away. It's like, don't even approach me cause you won't be able to handle it. My intensity will shake you up and my sincerity will melt you. My devotion will make your head spin, and my love will make you shy and scared.

I'm just gonna stay alone and focus on other projects and keep myself busy cause right now theres a dry spell for girls who really mean what they say. Everyone just talks shit and I'm tired of correcting you pathetic retards. Stand on your own two goddamn feet. I have nothing to offer you. Continue reading →

mother mercury, look what they've done to me

i want you to hurt

i want you to suffer

i want you to feel ashamed

for being the thing that you hated the most

for slapping a child in the face

when he begged you to stop hitting him

its your fault

the wedge driven between you

the lost holidays and family events

seeing any grand kids

being a part of his life

i want you to regret that and feel that

for the rest of your miserable life

and i want it to eat you alive

and on your death bed be the thing you regret most

i want it to ache at your heart while your body gives out

let it be the last thing on your mind

while current flows through it

be the last word on your last breath

i want you to feel it all

because i have felt it all

and i held it all inside

now its your turn

i want you to feel how black and thick the hate is

i want it to gum up in your veins

i want you to forever feel the guilt of having driven away

something you swore was so precious to you

so everyone can see how cowardly and selfish you really are

you fucking miserable cunt

your flesh is wasted on you

your breath should be reserved for someone elses lungs

i wish i could bottle up your last breath and keep in safe keeping

and yell at is and attack it when i feel miserable

knowing that i hold that

will be enough to satiate my rage

the rage you put in me

the poison you let loose in my veins

this is your fault

you made me violent

and i have no remorse for you anymore

i wish i could attack and abuse you 

the way you abused a child

a creature smaller and weaker

who trusted you for guidance

i wish i could reverse the roles

and really give it back to you

and i would if i could

but i think dying slow and miserable is enough for you

never forget what you did

it will never go away

my contempt for you grows by the year

and if i ever see your fucking face again

i will not hesitate to smash it

until it no longer resembles anything human

fuck you forever

you are hell with a pulse

and i would sever that pulse

to watch evil bleed out before my very eyes

i would bathe in your disintegration

and savor your essence leaving this world

the weight of your dead body

a tool for my muscles to grow stronger

a punching bag

to tune myself into a better, stronger person

and the cheeks on your face

will be slapped and bruised forever

like mine are

from you

happy holidays

go fuck yourself

you failure of a mother

and failure of a human being

rot slowly

die miserable

in your own filth

surrounded by cowards

and leeches

who will strip you of everything

for their own personal gain

once the life leaves your shell

do not rest in peace

lie crooked and uncomfortable

in infinite agony

you cunt

damage

why do i feel so goddamn sad, why can't i just let go

all the preparing for the world outside just kept my feelings closed

now i feel like im a child even though i am a man

and my heart feels like its bursting when they all slip through my hands

i don't know what i should do to try and make myself ok

i stay angry just to feels something other than the pain

cause everybodys got somebody else, i've only ever had myself

my DNA is programmed for my mind to feel for someone else

i just want to feel ok when i get out of bed

just to have a day where i don't want a bullet in my head

and thats the emptiest threat i've ever heard cause i don't got the guts

but that don't change the fact that i feel like my death is still a must

all the voices in my head that tell me nothing is ok

im alone and that is all my fault cause no one wants to stay

with such a fucked up, damaged, broken man who cant get through the past

because the only home he's ever known just kicked his fucking ass

im tired of being miserable, and angry all the time

but i cant unsee the things i've seen and been through all my life

my eyes are fucking open, the reality is sad

when drug use and my fantasies are the best i've ever had

they say life can be so beautiful, well come live in my town

we will send you fucking packing if you spread that shit around

i feel like nothing is worth saving, i wish i could waste away

when the damage just feels better, than trying to get saved

when happiness feels foreign and you wait for shit to fly

cause that is all you've ever known and you refuse to live a lie

steady hand

my hand stays steady

my mind stays peaceful

and i let the dead bury their dead

i have life to live and love to give

and this hate is just an anchor

keeping me tied to the ground

weight is a thief

and anger is a poison

i am kept sick

so i cant walk away

the only thing that keeps me going

is knowing

that it wont be long before i am away from here

away from these people

and onto the rest of my life

doing something worthwhile

and better than the simplicity of the people in this town

i will leave you all behind

i cant wait until i cant even remember your name

anonymous and unimportant

i just want to be forgotten

a face you cant put a name to in a sea of dead eyes

anonymous and unimportant

i want to cut myself in dirty basements

and use the dust on the floor 

to clot the wound

take drugs that put holes in my brain

and destroy this temple they pray to

this body, this mind that they need and want

this tool that was never meant to be one in the first place

and ruin it for everyone

i want to heat up knives and brand patterns in my arms

breathe smoke until i pass out or vomit, whichever comes first

put my jugular vein on tap to spirt 10 foot blood spatters

across unclean floors and rooms at my free will

and laugh at the drop in blood pressure

as my head swims and my knees fall to the floor

i want to empty my stomach of nourishment

choke on fragments of wood

atrophied and destroy beyond all recognition

because i hate this thing that i have

that they made into such a commodity

that they deem more precious than gold

just to break it in front of them

and hurt them 

leave them with nothing but the pieces

to remind them of what they had

and what was taken away

facebook has a dark side where fools gather and fortify each others bullshit.

making well constructed statements that sound intelligent but are actually completely false. cue a million likes from people who don't have the balls to actually question it and like it because all their friends do. fools run rampant around here, and love to puff up each others ego's. never forget that.

people love to say dumb shit to perpetuate dangerous fantasy and lies, cause its just easier than admitting the ugly truth. its especially annoying when the ones spouting this swill have never seen real horrors in their lives and know nothing of real life.

cryptic, i know, but im done naming names. you're all on your own now.

honesty, people. you have to live it, or you arent worth the orgasm it took to create you. and if you're all butt hurt over this fact........you are the very fool i am referring to.

thats why i stick to my friends and people i care about

cause they are all completely open and honest

and we all reject the ones that bullshit and lie

we push them out like the weeds that they are

i have no patience for fools anymore

if people arent smart enough to break out of their shell and search for truth on their own first, then to me, they are not human, and are not living

they are vagrant dead

and in my goddamn way

Continue reading →

the sky is the limit and thats all i can say. whatever you want from me you can have. i am utterly devoted to this, and i will let it kill me if i have to. there is no world here. its just me and you, in this thing we call home, connected like links on a chain, to hold to world up forever. this is all that matters, everything else pales in comparison. all the things i have done in my life, trying to find something else, something to fill the void, to empty out my sadness, to take it all away. i tried to free myself from love for so long. i tried to kill it, i cut, bruised and kicked at it, to make it go away. but there it stayed. with a stubbornness the likes of which i have never seen. its not going away, its never going away and i have to make my peace with that, but God how you break hearts. 

its the pain that hurts the most. its the worst you will ever feel. its the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, and there is nothing in this world that can slap my eyes open more. i am convinced and committed when i am in your arms, and theres no way anyone can tell me any different. we are magnets to each other, you and i, and because of that i will never let go, but also because of that i will cherish you. i will worship you and praise you like my god among mere mortals. kiss the ground you walk on and make sure you are safe and pure for the rest of my days. all i've built and all i've accumulated in my entire life crumbles right at your feet and its a humbling feeling to find out that everything means nothing compared to you. i fall to my knee's with this understanding and beg you just to think of me in a kind light. 

the smell of your hair, the perfume on your clothes stay with me even when you're not here. it hits me like a brick in the chest every time and i am floored. there is no more fighting this. no more trying to be a man and not let this crush me, to stand tall and say i have never been wounded, i have never let them in, but i would lie, that would all be a lie and i don't want to lie anymore. all my defenses and all my diversions have been bypassed and brought down by one small simple girl. one charming little being with a smile on her lips. the way she says my name, the way she feels no shame, and all my bullshit falls to my feet. 

my stomach turns when i think about the past and all the things i've done to attack and torture and try to keep them out of my existence, to try and put traps around myself so they can't get in, when all this time it was nothing at all, and they could move right in whenever they wanted. i stand powerless against this and i don't know what else to do. i have fought it off for so goddamn long and tried to be smart. tried to rise above and be better than the rest of them. where they failed i will succeed, such a childish goal. there is no rule book, we're all crawling on our knees, and thinking on our feet to try to get this right. i just can't take that fall, im so afraid the next one will kill me, im afraid of what the next one will do to me. my mind can only take so much and at times i feel like im hanging by a thread while she dances in my head and it doesn't feel good, it feels hurtful and angry, and i get bitter when she calls me cause theres no control and sometimes theres nothing anyone can do but surrender and let go. my whole life has been trained against letting go, against surrender. i've been at war for 29 years and i've never had time for love, but all it took was one little look, one little flirt to put shock into my heart, and i felt the valves creak and moan as the blood started flowing again, like something that hasn't moved in decades, breaking the rust off and trying again. you wanna talk about fear, thats fear, and all my anger, all my war mongering and fighting, all my aggression against injustice and pain thats been done to me was swept off the table with careless abandon by some small creature with beautiful eyes. she grabbed my face and look me in the eyes and told me "its ok" and i don't know why but i was powerless, i had no choice but to believe her. so i did, i surrender. goddammit, i surrender, you have me, you have my heart. just please, goddammit, be careful with it, cause it means a lot to me and its delicate. 

you may think cause i am a man that i can handle the pain, but i can't. i really can't. that little thing that you hold in your hands is the most sensitive you will ever see me, the most delicate you will ever get me, and if you stab and jab at it, it will never forgive you. you have to respect this for what it is, its bigger than both of our egos, and we have to get past our bullshit to bring praise and respect this union, this clashing of souls. it brings beauty to my life, the likes of which i've never seen and i can't help but want to hold onto it forever. this is me at my weakest. i am powerless against this. please respect that. please forgive me. please be here with me. this moment is all we have. things go away so quick and this is working right now, like the eye of a storm where everything feels peaceful but powerful, and i want it to last, but if it doesn't i guess thats ok and i'll have to make my peace with that, but please understand the hurt i feel and when it tries to come around again i might be angry and attack like a wounded dog backed into a corner. i've been beat up so many times that i flinch now at every sigh, so if you want to do this and you want my love you gotta show me you mean it and prove yourself. give me a reason to beat myself up again. i'll do whatever it takes but i need to know its for a purpose, cause without purpose i am left out in the dust, and maybe one of those times when i get burnt i wont get back up. i can't say for certain. i can't say that i will be alright, cause damn when it falls, i crash hard. i sink so low, i sink solo, i isolate and drive myself into the dirt at the very bottom and keep my mouth open to get dirt in my teeth just to make it hurt that much more. im a bruised and broken man. my heart is dried out but you are the water and all i need is a drop to cure, to reinvigorate, to make everything ok. i can move mountains with love in my heart, and nothing will stop me. but you just gotta know what responsibility comes with this. to nuture this and treat it right so that it grows or we fall over and burn and hate each other for the rest of our lives. don't do that to me again. i cannot take that again. i wont come back from it this time. so there it is, my everything, all on the line, for you. you have my heart
