Old Age

This was a poem I wrote when I was on my Edgar Allan Poe hype. A deteriorated mind with lapses of sanity.

Old Age

Now it is time I lay myself to sleep,
 in my smile death creeps...
It tells me not to worry,
 I say, "I'll never fear."
The lingering stench of death is near.
I've lived a full life.
 I've loved and I've lost.
Time has become my greatest foe & it costs
it's withered my body 
 and crippled my mind.
It's impaired my vision 
and made me blind. 
What a rough few years 
 I've lived alone.
Without my love
 who was called home.
And here I am
 at the end.
again time wins.
and so, now for the last time
I lay myself to sleep.
in the corner of my smile 
death slowly creeps.

Day 6

I watch helplessly,    as Jack fulfilled your needs I watched on helplessly    bc it was one I couldn't meet Thinking our love was enough    I asked you to leave I begged for you to just stay    stay with me & you do    for a while I must say That is,    until you see Jose He leaves you bitter    with hate filled eyes slicing me with your words    & making me cry I beg & please     for you to leave them be I beg you to Look! See! Love,     it's ME! Though I beg you     to let them go I am no match     for Ernest & Julio & when I see you with Jim     I know your going 1-100; full throttle Over the yelling you don't hear my cries, Please Baby, stop choose me, put down the bottle.

Love

I haven't had a lot of luck with love in my life, so I don't write and haven't written many #poems about love. I felt that the inspiration always led to something dark and twisted, something depressing. But, being a writer, I decided to see if I could. And Love came out, this is the first love poem I've ever written... I hope you enjoy Love It is a feeling I barely understand,  She as my Girl and I her Boyfriend. I’d rather die with her than see another Sun set,  I as her Romeo and she my Juliet. I’d shout out my heart day out and day in,     With her as my woman and I as her man. If our feelings were breaking laws to the bloody end I’d ride,     Cause you are my Bonnie and I your Clyde. I’d give you the world and gladly my life,     I as your husband and you as my wife. I’d invoke a war and give up the world to destroy,     I as the Trojan and you my Helen of Troy. With each other our hearts will never grow weary or tired,     You as the oxygen and I a

My Lil' Story 'bout Love

I've loved and I've lost. My high school sweetheart who I loved and lost after not treating her right. I thought maybe one day I would be able to get that back. I stayed there for her when she needed me. I even did the unthinkable and talk to her when she lost her virginity. Though it was supposed to be me, I let it go and still loved her. I was even there for her as he mother was dying. I was there lending an ear and my experience and telling her the real. She needed to spend as much time with that woman as possible because she was never going to get to see her again. As we talked more and more she started telling me about the times when her so called new dude hit her. I told her I loved her, I apologized for my past. I told her and I meant I would do better. No, I never cheated but I was guilty of not showing her the love and affection she deserved. And it was because of that I felt she was where she was. I felt it was my fault that she was in the relationship she was in. W
