Sad Love
 

You control the emotions of my whole being,
if I would have knew the real you from
the start I would have ran away fleeing,
it's like I have lived my whole life to
love you and have declared that no one
is as good as or above you, loving you
and you not loving me back is my worst
nightmare, that makes me believe life is
unfair, you refuse to be with me, now I feel
unwanted and it's by the memories of
you in which I am haunted, the moments I
have had with you are up like a deadline,
all the times I have shared with you, I
have outlined, you couldn't care for me
so I wish all my thoughts of you could
disintegrate and my love for you is
what I want to eliminate, I hate the way
you put me in a state of shattered glass,
I gave you a chance, you refused, you
declined, you basically passed!

The Mastermind


Charming Character causing chaotic occurrences
Deep down down deep I have my defenses
Thinking thoroughly trying to combat feelings
for you,
Hoping happiness has a place in my life
to exist too,
Telling the truth of how I was
missed by you,
Missing my moments of you which presently are
deceased,
Only opened oddly in my brain leaving no peace,
Man messing mysteriously with my brain
What was with your ways that caused my heart
strain?
Pressure persistently pulling at me
Darkness drew forth to defeat me
Simple symbolic structure of being hurtfully
targeted,
Assuming adept roles that show his heartbreaking
attitude
Leaving little light hints to an untraceable
presence
Reality really repeats his voice in his tone of
resonance,
Sickly stunned shockingly by the smoothness
of his acts,
