Damn

In the face of reality, my imagination runs away with what could have been...

What I wouldn't do to see you happy

A nonexistent list

And it's strange

Because you're almost like a brother to me

But yet

I'm longing for your kiss

Your lips

Your caress

Damn

There I go again

Being a terrible friend

I'd ride or die for you

Relieve your stress

Stand by you

Through any mess

Break up

Make up

Jail time

Locked up

And while I'm holding you down

I'm dying to hold you close

But she can give you everything I can't

Even though I'm ecstatic that she makes you happy

Deep down inside I wish it was me

And while part of me really wants to scream

And tell you that I love you

The other part knows the deal

You love her

She loves you

And I'd rather be your friend

Then risk losing you

Damn

About the Creator

Shaye B.

Welcome to my trainwreck. I'm Shaye B and I'm pleased to make your aquaintence. I learned to read before I could talk and learned to write because I couldn't scream. I haven't quite learned to scream yet so I'll continue to write until then
