                I’ve seen so much here. Traveling all around the world, nothing beats this city. As here the the girls click Klak on the streets. I can only think of us. Only thing is missing is those retro beats, long coats, wind blowing and snow falling. Ooh how i miss the streets. The Eiffel tower and all the great landmarks, just like America. Dollars to Euros spending money in the clothing stores i can only  think of us and how we use to stay out all night long. As time go by i hope u visit. I know you would love it like me. 

                                                                                                                      Yours truly,

                                                                                                                                 Paris

YOU KNOW I REALLY DON’T KNOW YOU THAT WELL YOU LEFT ME AT A EARLY AGE, I KNOW IT WASNT YOUR FAULT BUT I WONDER WHAT KIND OF MAN I WOULD BE TODAY IF YOU WERE STILL HERE, WOULD I BE A BETTER MAN? OR THE SAME MAN I AM TODAY OR WORSE I JUST WANNA LET YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU AND CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

YOUR SON,

ROBERT OWENS

Wish you were here on earth frustrated that I am no longer able to enjoy you.

Though some may attempt to imitate know you were the real Mckoy boo.

At the end of the day we both know all grills and bikkers were only homie, lover, friend type love.

I”m just hoping that Asia stays in the heart even in your new home up above.

Though little time together is what we possess.

I will always dread the day I was informed you were layed to rest.

Wishing I could relive the day you’d name me little girl.

Knowing had you been here with time I would’ve been your little girl.

Not even words could express how I feel at the moment.

Would have spoken forever if after the tone I knew that would be it.

This revealed that our five year relationship was not going to last. I hung on because I loved you, u needed me. I actually thought i needed you. You caused my crying but i thought it was okay at the time. You always seem to place a joy somewhere. Maybe nowhere! I want you to know that I hate you. I hate that we are not friends anymore. I just hate you.

Your Best friend

Bianca Welsh

P.s. Tell him that i hate him too because he made you become this way.

It seems as if you’re turning into a nightmare

all my hopes of achieving you are going down the drain

where did i go wrong

what did i do wrong

cease my mind so that i could embrace you

so that i may fulfill the means of your very existence

feed may brain with acrimony so that i maybe able to overcome them

slay the demon within me so that the spirit may shine

allow my inner quest to embark upon a new destiny

allow me to live

allow me to find me.

always say yes, so you can go away
The next day, the sun is out shinning brightly
don’t remember what you’ve said
never can say no to you,
but I should cause I never do what you tell me to do
I should of have just said no
I’ve disappointed you, I hate that feeling,
the feeling that you’ll never trust me again.
I’m older now more responsible,
I’m listen to you now.
I do everything that you tell me to do,
even if it’s little things
I love it when you smile the way you say “Thank You”
It makes me want to smile also
I love the feeling that you can trust me
I’m listening now.

Just listen                                                                                                                         Why must you have so many definitions                                                                     Is it necessary to hurt so bad

Time and time again I’m happy then sad

Why doesn’t he love me back

Can you place yourself in his heart

I need you in my life

Almost anything I will sacrifice

Love, are you listening?

You took my hopes, dreams, and physical ability. You took my education and try to educate me with bigotry. Poverty has broken down some, and build up some of humanity. I don’t know how long poverty, you will stay among me, but i know my conscience and intelligence will protect me, from becoming a victim of global poverty.
