Love is the lie that keeps us alive We puncture each other deeply And explore what’s inside We find what we don’t like And cover it up with more and more lies Sew each other back up and move on before they cry Tell yourself their is no other And shoot down all red flags Highlight all the good memories and discard all of the bad Then one day in your room you cry yourself to sleep Cause love keeps us alive But lies kill us in our dreams

You expect me to be sorry But the truth is I’m not I won’t comfort you with a lie Or act like I forgot I’m telling you out loud I have no remorse I will not say sorry I will probably do worse They say I should have sympathy I should do the time for my crime I say I got my revenge So I’m doing just fine

From a child’s eyes An argument is war Before they understand words They see anger while looking up from the floors They hear loud sounds and experience booms As you throw your voices across bedrooms They see wide hand gestures And tears while confused Scared, frightened Unaware of your abuse While you think they won’t remember I promise you they will I’m a child with those visions Nightmares and chills
-Mosley
My heart has had time to heal And after careful consideration I’ve decided I forgive you Not for you, but for myself See I’ve spent all my days forgiving for others Letting things go out of fear of standing out Being seen as the loud mouth The bitter one But I’m here to tell you today I’m anything but bitter Neither perfect And I won’t always handle things accordingly But I will handle them for my sake On my side So I forgive you And I forgive me for doing what I thought I needed to protect myself in these moments

She’s been gone too long Stuck in a daze of stolen possibilities As if life wasn’t hard enough It turns out loving herself was even harder And all of those tears began to overflow Filling up jars of her insecurities Wasted, heavy And as they hit the floors of her heart she realized She would never be the same She was gone
