A Darker Shade of Jaded

This door before hides nothing from your eyes
But the contents inside might bring you surprise
The combination lock has a time release
So if you stumble over numbers you can wait in peace
Trust breeds truth, and truth breeds life
And life breeds love which eradicates the strife
So breath easy and free yourself from any wonder
Help me count the stars that we’re both sitting under
 
This one is actually a Song...rap song

The princess made me promise not to harm her
So I live my life this knight in shining armor
A youth in hot pursuit of trivial truths they shot at you
Throw the game out the window cause I’m sick of guessing who

Who’s best Who’s next
Whose soul is harried from carrying old regrets
What’s hot what’s not
What’s the block gonna read that lies atop my funeral plot
What’s hip What’s hop
It says Knowledgendary check the local record shop

Whose chess pieces get chewed up like used stress relievers
Whose get used to repress this epic mess of heathens
Whose breathing gets heavy when ascending many mountains and
Who draws their income from the change that’s in the fountain pen
Who’s out in the real world with no particular reason
Who’s sick and tired of searching just for something to believe in

It’s me, It’s you It’s anyone willing to choose
Win or lose I’m down to gamble so you can watch these chips move
No regard for my cards sent em To the center of the table
If you haven’t learned by now I’ll bet on any horse in the stable
 
These words I find to force you to fancy me
Free you to focus on internal intricacies
Previously free of scrutiny truthfully
Secure in the solitude structured for secrecy
Dislodged the logic of low life location
Prerogative pushed to the forefront of function
Sending the signals laced with sensation
Resigned to the resonance trust the destruction
 
Tear trails on your face
Are like graffiti on beautiful art
The worst kind of taste
Salty and stained by the pain in your heart
I've searched high and low to find truth
I learned real pain wasn't meant for people like you
Too pure of soul to shoulder so much
I could be the rock you hold that won't budge
The sand you land on when you let go
Our hearts could beat in tempo
Spend time listening to yours through your chest
So mine knows exactly when to play and when to rest
Hope to devote hours, studying that melody
Hardly hard work instead its heavenly
So if you ask me “What’s our song?”

I'd put your hand on my heart and sing along
 
Puzzle pieces fit together
Like one hand holding the other
Feather light hearts soar forever
Weighted ones fall further
Over under around and through
Singular plural boy and girl
Pressed palms to one another
Called it the clap of thunder
And waited for the enlightening

It never came.
 
The delicate dance of questions never asked
Answers never offered opportunities passed
Placed in a space reserved for the sacred
Sacrificed grace to hasten the ill fated
But never severed the tether to what was better
Cause the tears I would have cried could have made water wetter
So I drink deeply of what you mean to me
And you swallow the same at least I hope, secretly
 
So i'm bringing this thing back, but it's going to be strictly for poetry...hoping to get some feedback, and maybe even some regular readers...but who knows
