Complex scfii%




Complex scfii%

I awoke one day
To find my place
In my life 
Had gained a space

A hole once not
A spot once filled
But something came
Along and killed

The trust once there
The love once growing
Now it's empty 
And all that's showing

Is the worn out grooves
Where it once had sat
This thing you can't
Label this or that

Because it was 
Your very life
You fought real hard
To keep your wife

You forgave the things
Some said do not
You took the arrows
And slings they shot

You took the times
She called you names
But they dug in deep
And played head games

Like you aren't enough
You ain't what you think
And don't come near me
Your breath it stinks

That was the easy 
Stuff to take
But the secrets and lies
You couldn't shake

You found out late
Like two years after
But she wouldn't talk
And you heard the laughter

They said let it go
It's in the past
But it's in your mind
And there it lasts

It's not some feeling
You just let go
You hurt so bad 
And you want to know

Why she did it
When she knew before
That this will tear you 
At your deepest core

You made it through 
That time intact
Just on the outside
When inside was racked

With doubts of self
And am I bad 
To the point I could lose
All that I had

And why this fellow
Why this guy
Why did she pick
Please tell me why

25 years
Not all so good
But I stuck it out
Just like I should

She said she loved me
She said she cared
She said our children 
Was what we shared

We had this dream
Hers not quite mine
But we lived with the other
Things seemed just fine

But she left you quick 
Because of this app called book
She didn't like 
The girls you'd look

And make your friend
And talk too much 
But you never would meet
You never would touch

You did these things 
Because down the hall
Was a wife with hate
And she gave you all

She said you were stupid
She said you were wrong
She talked to you down
Always this song

So you turned to a place
Where some called you smart
You said "this is different" 
And that was a start. 

Meanwhile the rejections
At home did proceed
You had no clue 
And your heart did bleed

She left you when 
You left to be 
A son to your father 
No regrets you would see

And you got along great
As you helped out your dad
You wondered why your marriage 
Turned out so so bad

But single you were 
And a dad you remained
So you did all you could 
With each dollar you gained

Then one day a person
Comes by with a gift
As you reached for it you thought
Could this cause a rift? 

It revealed a sad secret
The betrayal was big
And the grave was much deeper 
Than one person could dig

It was your wife and a man
You knew once before 
And that tells you he's special 
As he walked through your door

No match for the man 
Who once stole your wife
And he did it again 
And it crushes your life

You must let it go
The bridge you must burn
No counseling no friends
Will say it's her turn

She had it before 
And blamed it on stress 
And you know it is true
Because it couldn't be less

But the words she did share 
When the act did come true
Was don't take it personal
I never meant to hurt you 

But you did 
Don't you see
You did it a lot 
The hurt was on me

You ruined us so easy 
You tore us apart 
If you are friends with my Girl
And you can see the start

Tell her to call
Don't ignore me please talk
We can do it right here
We can just take a walk

But no was the answer 
And the police got a call
Why did you do this 
Why make me fall

It's ironed out now today
It's better to forgive
You can't burn with hate
It's no way to live

So a history you have
Years stacked upon years
And laughs don't forget
They are found between tears. 

It's not all so bad
And our spirits are stronger
And we hurt each other no more
We will do that no longer

We've grown and it's deep
Complicated is life
She is always my friend
Wether or not she's my wife.

Pop quiz hotshot.....what do you do.

Is this really 
What it's all about
You live you learn
You scream then shout

That once I loved 
And now I hate
I want to forgive
But it's not my fate

I grit my teeth 
To gain composure
I try to talk 
To achieve some closure

But no response
Is what I get
I pay the phone
So why should I let

Another person
Disrespect 
The guy who's there
With no neglect

When I left
To help my dad
I took my clothes 
And what I had

Then separation 
Is what I heard
Not from her 
But a little bird

True it was
But I found no papers
A mystery to me
A tv caper

But I continue to pay 
All the bills
To help her out 
With what she wills

The phone I said 
The car tha rent
And when it's done
My money is spent

But I continue
With out a gripe
The debit card 
Continues to swipe

I feel it's right
To do this thing
It doesn't matter 
That I wear no ring

She had my boys
Jordan and Ryan
But with this news
My heart keeps dying

A series of texts
Found on a phone
Where she asks
Are you alone

I'm coming over
I'll be right there
What about Mark? 
Oh I don't care

I hate his ass
And you do too
Don't deny it
And I want you

So when I see
All of these words
My heart it leaves 
Like a flock of birds

Darting off 
Here and there
Never to return
Life isn't fair

Now don't believe 
I've done no wrong
But compared to her 
It's not that strong

A simple flirt
A risqué' word
An innuendo
Something unheard

But never meet
Or never see
Never together
Never to be

Yet she went over
 and he did too
And neither one 
Cared about you

So no contrition
No regret
No I'm sorry
Please don't leave yet

It was a shut door
And a cut phone
And a sudden feeling
That I'm all alone....

The Author is you

New chapter 
New verse
Let's be rid 
Of the curse

Of a story gone bad
One filled with hate
One you must close
Before it's too late

Before you lose faith
Before you lose self
Before you are lost
Put this book on the shelf

It's not your story
It's not your time
Those you read about
They were not your crime

So grab a new novel
A new life indeed
Crack this one open
Look at it and read

Read of your heart
And how it wants you
To be the example
To always stay true

Read how you desire
To be honest with life
Not betraying companions
With a backstabbing knife

This book is your own
You can write it today
Just close the old crap 
And put it away

You thought it was something
You wanted to live
But it took way too much 
Than you ever could give

It left you done reading
All shattered and broken
Used and ignored
A throw away token

Don't take those words
From the book you now hate
And define yourself with them
They carry no weight

So a new book is written
And the author is you
Make love the topic
With the main character as you

Forget the last book
And how poorly it was written
Let it decay on the shelf 
All moth and flea bitten

You have a new life
And it is found in this book
Open it and live it
Give it a good look

Your heart writes the words
And the words are your deed
Make each person say
This is a very good read

It's your book 
It's your story
Do it all 
For God's 
Glory

I'll show you mine (a love type thing)

Do you know
The reason why
We have to live
Until we die

The life of days
And always feeling
Can touch the heart
And get us reeling

Stepping back
And on our guard
We wonder why 
This life's so hard

Why must we feel
So much pain
Why not more sun
Instead of rain

Why not more love
Instead of hate
Why doubt the feeling
Why the need to wait

Because you never know
When you give your heart
If on the other end
The same will start

So then you worry
And the you fret
You give yourself
But you don't get

Why is this
I'll tell you why
Because you belong to you
Not some other guy

You choose your feelings
You chose the feel
You said yourself
You're always real

So don't blame the other
If they seem too slow
It's not their fault
They didn't know

They had to return 
All that you give
That's not the way
We all now live

We live to love
That much is true
But the love is yours
And it comes from you

So don't demand
Or even expect
That love will come
And be direct

Of course they care
As you would too
But after all
That's what you do

So if you love another
Don't change your heart
But don't change the other
That's not your part

That belongs to them 
And if they're real
They won't string you along
About how they feel

Sharing....

What does it tell
Nothing much I see
Except maybe a portion 
Of who I may be

A man of thought
A man of worry
A man who's thoughts 
Are full of hurry 

Going nowhere 
But right back here
You see today and tomorrow
Are very much last year

The same old song
The same old dance
Heard before
It's magic trance 

We grow tired
It gets too much
Is sharing not effective
Is only just a crutch

It's the way your heart and mind
Reacts to help you cope 
The response from friends are helpful 
And they give a ray of hope

So do what your heart feels 
And be just true to you
And don't worry just be honest
And this trouble will be through
