Illuminate

Since it’s so familiar

You’re afraid to let the darkness escape you

Cozy in your misery

But I promise if you don’t let me down

I’ll let my light illuminate you

It’s a little dim

From ol boy and them

But it’s still enough for two

Bills

Lights flickering

Girls bickering

Ceiling leaking

Got me thinking

Hey

It’s the freakin weekend

Why can’t we chill

I know the trappin’ is real

But let’s make a deal

No I get it

I know how you feel

Put down the pill

Relax with these skills

Don’t worry ’bout bills

Or nothin

Heartbreak Ramble

I still look at your page, like all day

I read every post and take it the wrong way

I guess I’m a glutton for pain

I guess I want depression again

My feelings for you are so alarming

Because I know you don’t want me darling

I know you just used me babe

But I can’t face it unless you say it

I want the truth and nothing less

Can’t help but cry, I’m a mess

Yes, I’m upset

Skrrt, BOOM. I’m a wreck

I saw a future with you in it

I jumped the gun, infinite

Bad habit of seeing the best in the worst

Bad habit of letting my feelings get hurt

Then going to work

And being a jerk

Because I can’t clean my own dirt

I can’t do this

And I knew this

But you caught me off guard

Now I have to go through this

I’m useless

I’ll prove it

I’ll sulk and I’ll pout

Smoke and drink it out

Cut it out

Scream it out

I can’t cut you out

What Imma do without

That feeling

No drug ever got me so high

Fake affection never felt so full

I was writing love songs until my pencil got dull

Why do I do this to myself

You think I give advice for my health ?

I don’t follow it

I palm a pill and I swallow it

I wanna die and I wallow in it

I’m supposed to be stronger than this

Smarter than this

Accidentally turned into the dumbest bitch

I done did it again

Sabotaging my own win

Oops, my bad

It’s my own fault I’m mad

I know I’d welcome you right back

Into my heart and my sack

Do as you please

I feel sick when you leave

Then I still tease

Because I too have needs

I need touch

I’m doing too much

I need validation

I need a vacation

My minds always racin’

I need a break

So whatever you want, take

I let my mind slip into ecstasy with you

I felt sexy with you

Now what the fuck do I do

I’m confused

I’m disgusted

In you I trusted

You fucked that up

That’s my fault though

You didn’t know you were gonna make me glow

You probably thought I was just another hoe

I don’t know

I was too scared to ask

I didn’t wanna ruin anything, push you away

It’s my own fault I’m not okay.

No Regrets by Justina Clear

My feet are stained with the dirt of the bedroom floors I dance across

My lips are chapped, peeling and healing from the wet kiss of my lover

Lovers I regret nothing

No one

Method acting in every new space

Like I’ve never given my heart away

Like I’m offering it up for him to take

Then I get dressed I look at him like I’ll never be the same

Because that is the case

The ghost of paramours haunt me

I’ll never be the same

And that I wouldn’t change
