Not every story is the true story,
but life, the book, is aways rough draft…

no names are taken out to hide the beguilers.
No shame is weighed among the ignorant beguiled.

An aphorism in the realm of gaseous we, free thought,
fly ***** caught by echo location,
recollecting the crack of the bat.

Here, catch.
We are so few, who agree life pays rich dividends money cannot buy or fake.
correct me if i'm wrong
but i cannot be corrected
sorry but i'm not actually sorry
i cannot help being right
do not correct me

it's a cosmic correction
     to live a little slower-
        be a little closer,
           live where you are,
              take care of your home-
                  and your home's home.

      To look into each others' eyes-
         no need to fake a smile
           can't see it anyway.
              You can't mask the tears
                      or the smize

           what if it's a hyper alteration
                       to change course
                                 ...
Reminder to heed the lessons of 2020 and Covid-19.
Poetic T Jul 2020
Time is the deconstruction of
          a moment for it doesn't
move forward is every millisecond
an eternity of contemplations
         that were we right or wrong..

But as time moves forward we
            to can move past the errors,
the infractions of our miss stepped
                              refractions.

For if life was a colour we would
              change upon every step.

Because there is never a hue of gold
   but an emotion of woeful regrets.

Remember the time we had,
   for we are never stagnant.
For to ponder on a moment
                   would ensue the folly
of insanity...

Let everything, be a moment
         moving forward..

Not in regret, but in a lesson learnt.

We have both been trying hard
Results aren't what we'd hoped
Past creeping in to haunt us
Use substances to help cope

Believe we could get so much more
So close to the life we planned
Few inches from the finish line
Cannot escape the drug's command

Your detachment is what hurts
I treat you the same in return
So removed from love we share
Trust a reward that will never be earned

Something changed between us
Don't have the same look in your eye
Need as much as I did back then
You aren't even required to try

Invest equal portions of yourself
You mean each word you say
Promise is simple to start
Not easy to finish all the way

New problems arise out of thin air
Relationship steadily falling apart
Will you be able to understand?
Truly know the ins and outs of my heart?

Be the man aspired to be
Person who's honest and kind
Just around the corner
So challenging to find

We battle vices
Demons on our backs
Inside our heads
They stop us in our tracks

I know addiction is taking its toll
My body
Soul
And brain
Successfully worse than you and we both know it
Fact you don't have to explain

Most our fights are started by
Own stupid insecurity
Love me when I'm wrong
Can't seem to compromise or agree

Leave in pieces like you always do
Eventually you'll come around
But your presence lately feels more like a ghost
To your side I remain bound

I will be the first to take the step
Forward in the right direction
At night the fear races around my skull
Are lives past the point of correction?
Sometimes I am afraid we are too far gone to save

When the tension is tight
Expect the fight
Unless through the plight
You make light
And thereby avoid a fight

The milk has spilled already
The next question is,
What are you gonna do about it?
Just sit there and cry?
Pick yourself up and continue to fly?
Hide in the corner 'cause you're shy?
Would you define yourself by your mistakes
Or rather learn one or two things
and make yourself a better person
by using the mistakes as resources?

its my mistake and you keep reminding other
and here i keep falling down to earth
i thought you liked me
but you keep back bitting
telling them what i lack
and reminding me our sweet moments
if you want me to be best
cant you just tell me not the rest
and here i thought you liked me
and you keep back bitting
i know i am not the angel
and definitely not as perfect
but still you can help
is it that hard for you to tell
your are bad at this
you should not be like this
is it that hard
then why does you keep telling those people all this ****....why?
these are my mistakes and i guess i am going to correct this..
so if you have a problem come to me..
not to them
and i thought you liked me
but you keep back biting
yup this always happens to me yaah may b i lack in something but its too rude to do this  is'nt
