Let’s Talk (56/1000)

Threatened by the space and the lies it perpetuates
Tired of your assumptions
No-communication zones
It'd be one thing if you trusted me
Then talk would be for the birds
But you've said some things
That make me think you're a tad delusional
My tongue can open doors
I can be sharp but I speak truth
No longer playing coy
My reputation's on the line
Are you a man or just a boy?
Can you live in the land of hearts?
No more teasing
No more games
I'm ready and if you aren't
I'll move onto someone new
Can't stand half-truths anymore
I spent nine years at that door
What are you waiting for?

Ordeals

"All who enter the spiritual path have to face the difficulties and ordeals of the path, those which rise from their own nature and  those which come in from outside."

– Sri Aurobindo

Tristan Prettyman "Please"

Such a crime

I don't remember being taken

This love was meant for

Wandering eyes and fakin'

So hot the way you looking

And when he's on it, man he's running and he's booking

Didn't know what to think in the beginning

But you got me so wet

And then you left me swimming

Keep it coming with the love I can't resist

I'm so tired but don't you dare quit

Cause it's a lie, it's a crime and it's just something

That I can't deny but

You know it looks so good from the outside

It's a mistake that I'm willing to make

And a promise that I just might break

Gotta find out how much my heart can take

And I know what he wants

And I know what he needs

I got the type of love

That's gonna bring you right down to your knees

Bring you right down to your knees

I'm begging you oh please

I want to be the lover

For your cover

How could you deny

This love so great

Love so grand

If you don't understand

That this love will take you make you

It'll mess you maybe break you

But it'll leave you stronger in the end

And I guess it all depends

Cause it's a lie, it's a crime, and it's just something that I can't deny

You know it looks so good from the outside

It's a mistake that I'm willing to make

And a promise that I just might break but

Gotta find out how much my heart can take

Now I'm beggin ya pleaseā€¦

Why wouldn’t you be enough for me?

Baby you’ve got it all
I see myself in your deepest parts
The ones you take for granted
The tone of your voice, the curve of your hip
The way you dive in and apply yourself
The work that you’ve done
The life you aspire to
The things that you love
The passion when you speak
You’ve already inspired me
I’m already lifted
I’m living on your love
You don’t know your reach

Almost There (50/1000)

I am perfect, whole, and complete
And that feels like the truth
When I turn my analytics inward
I tear myself and you apart
Thank you for getting so close
That you turned me inside out
I needed to know
No matter what the villagers said
Or what you know or still don't know
That I was beautiful now
Because I spent too many years
With one who didn't love all of me
