I Assume For The Worst

I Assume For the worst 

And Hope for the best 

When strangers tell me words 

That seem so far fetched 

They tell you dreams they wish to spew 

As reality tangled up as half-truths

It's easy to lie to someone new 

When they eagerly buy any story you choose

Subtly it turns to subtle regret 

When there's nowhere to turn when they unlock your mindset

As they hint you toward A socializing debt 

For the not so free time we've already have spent 

So time reveals the hidden things they spill 

As suggestions, accidents, or sorrys until 

You mark a no as a line in the sand 

From the very thing they wish they could have 

Some will retreat and some will fight back 

Some will manipulate you into saying a yes 

Some will go home and tell everyone trash 

Some will accept and hope for the best 

The best you can do is relax and think fast

Play the life that you own like a chessboard in fact 

Everyone's out for their own selfish tasks 

With little to stop them from abusing what you lack

Give Your All

[inallvoidness]

I will remember my love for you,

for the both of us.

Forever etched -

a soft spot in my heart.

"Stone Stories"

a poem by Tuur Verheyde

Text Version

Would you rather be the poet or the poem?

[masterwisely]

I see myself in people's ambitions,

I tend to grow where the light lies,

I've escaped the matrix of the world,

I stroll on routes where no one hikes.

I met people of a thousand years old,

enlightened wisdom to me they told,

envy and smile, lies, praise, joyful ties,

not influenced nor lured, happily go by!

Porn Is A Mans Best Friend

Porn is a mans best friend Whether alone or within his girlfriend Inside her fleshlight adversary Or as her dildo mortuary Adding to his fleshlight cemetary On a swipe away for the next veiled arbitrary For when the best of friends he can have is porn Is when the sanctity of intimacy is halved and torn

Queen

heart shaped scar

carved onto her skin

as though love has carved itself

onto her soul

for she loves so deeply

despite a bleeding heart
