The End       Sleeping on a higher plane, Jane 
these planes are trains, 
lanes of thoughts 
don’t wake me up 
break me up, all I see are cranes.  
Wrecking balls, calls 
to destruction.  
Cocaine slang 
All I see are David Ruffins 
Bluffing, trusting in all I see 
All I see is.... nothing.   | 
  
  
  
       
      Crossroads: The Burden Bearer PT. 2       Speaking to you from the other side  
of sorts, I know 
our time was short, 
Smile chile 
I know you wanted me to stay a little while longer.  
  
This hourglass drops the past 
one grain at a time.  
I’ve  
sighed 
at the sight of life, 
Slipping through this narrow eye.  
  
Swallowed my pride 
I’ve moved my feet away from defeat. 
Father Time showed me.. 
No matter how quick you be 
no man escapes his reach.  
Usain Bolt 
the hope filled spoke on what they believe.  
These burden bearers 
share a weight I wished you would’ve buried 
with me.  
  
Let my sorrows carry on with me 
with peace 
I’ll piece together whatever why’s are left behind. Unanswered 
chances are 
you’ll depart  
far...  | 
  
  
  
       
      A Letter to Whomever       I told such and such, 
Trust is a must. 
You see, lust will carry you over 
But F you over 
How much longer 
can we use love,  
As the precursor to a do over? 
  
Sober thoughts 
The lover's lots are cast to the cask.  
Til death do us part...? 
Pardon me, but that wasn't our part.  
I've parted ways with more than my fair share. 
In my quiet times, I still have flashbacks  
"If you even cared.." 
I dare you say that I didn't care! 
  
Brick by brick, 
Laying a foundation.  
Brick by brick, 
I've missed on more than one occasion  
  
Saving a name for one 
my name 
was exceptionally given.  
And keeping it was my decision. 
A precious gift given 
should be well received. 
  
Especially if it wa...  | 
  
  
  
       
      The Vent       To my distant lovers  
And unimportant others  
Affecting my mood  
By moving on to another  
  
Look I get it. 
And even if I didn't, 
I'm finding that timing  
is the only thing I'm missing.

      The Walls       Trust in the timing 
I'm finding, 
Success can be blinding 
I'm finding, 
When mining for diamonds  
I'm finding it's trying 
I give it my all 
and watch how it stalls 
It must be the writing.

      Unfinished        Mellow tones over the twilight  
Trust lights 
Familiar sights of the royal misses. 
Eyes like prisms 
She imprisons my gaze 
Glazed 
Dazed in a maze 
I'm amazed at what I can't mention.  
A deer in the headlights  
Red lights meant more to me 
To be... 
Well perhaps Shakespeare spent too much time with the words. 
Verbs 
Slurs  
Curbs of enthusiasm  
Spasms 
Passions 
Lasting throughout the sunset.  
A bar may not be the best place to find love 
But who's to judge? 
Here I'm at peace  
Each 
Mona Lisa  
Leaves an artist wrought with dissatisfaction 
It happens  
That some works remain unfinished, 
Business as usual  
Soon you'll 
See the bigger picture 
When it's finished. 
I hope you'll appreciate my rendering of what I've perceived.

      Why I Pace in FCUL        The crew asks 
"What's the pacing bout?" 
Head up in the clouds 
You got me spacing out 
Tracing out, 
Ways that I can say 
"I just want to be the one who gets to take you out"

      Life         
Passion played its part 
At the start 
I'l think I've found life.  
In this dark 
I sought light 
You weren't right to say I was blessed.  
For now I have become death, 
The destroyer of men. 
With each breath 
I feel less, 
Cursed is the killer of kin.

      Tell Me       Girl tell me what you won't do 
You know I want you 
I want to, 
Do what I said I was gone do 
I'm going through, 
A lot of changes  
I just want to 
Stay the same just plain 
CT  
for you.  
Sins from a past life will haunt you 
Still I want you 
I want you 
to, 
flaunt yourself in front of me 
Plant a seed 
Of jealousy  
For my sanity  
Now you see 
A little bit of what I go through.  
Did I ever tell you that I still want you 
I think I might love you 
Not subtle, 
No clue 
If there's anything that I can do 
A can do, 
Attitude might not be enough to get me through  
What I'm about to go through. 
We are who we are 
Secrets we kept from the start 
I'm starting over with a clover 
Wish me luck at the start. 
As far as this race 
I'm exhausted from the...  | 
  
  
  
       
      A Traveler's Note       I've traveled the open seas to see if there are better shores, 
Wanting more 
I'll moor foreign or demestic 
The journey, bless it 
Lord, plot the course 
Sailors and pirates dream of foreign treasure 
Lustful pleasures 
Endeavoring in all this world has to offer 
I'll offer you this: 
Peace. 
In the form of war 
Torn apart 
My hard-beating heart can't take the pull 
I'm tired.  
Weary from the soft rock 
This third rock 
Has tested my merit. 
And whatever the chosen metric to measure a man 
I've been measured 
And here I stand.. 
As a man 
My final stand will be on land 
Fine sand 
Ocean breeze  
Please let me be  
Without contempt! 
In my post-war peace, 
I dream of old age 
A sage 
Not foolish enough to stand in the sand alone 
Because if there...  |
