Cross Out

Without love, it's hard to survive,
you're breathing but you're heart's not alive,
and the only words that come to mind are "if only",
I wouldn't be here sorry and lonely,
all because of our love is lost,
CUZ my name on the list you...

Happy Loss

It’s okay that I’ve lost you if that means you’ve found yourself.
Who am I to bind you and beg you to find happiness in hell?
I can’t force you to be strong if you are content with being sick.
You wanting to escape, doesn’t need to be fixed.

Voice

Voice
By Arman Hoque

For those who have a voice,
We are granted a choice.
To speak of what aught be heard,
To paint an image of events occurred.

Just as a painter paints with paint,
Words and imagination are the only restraint.
To craft...

Let's Dance

Your stunning beauty has me in a memorizing trance,
wondering if we will be thrown together by circumstance,
or you can take my hand and let's just dance,
I promise my love will only enhance,
and you will feel the true feeling of romance,
but...

My mother once burned my hand with an iron.

She warned me prior
that it was hot -
and gave me notice
of its impeding descent.

I met her gaze,
and stood my ground.
Eyes locked with hers
in unwarranted,
challenging fury.

The shark’s tooth imprint
on my unblemished skin
lasted...

Forecast

I'll keep u dry from the rain,
I'll comfort u when u feel pain,
I'll be your shade from the sun,
I'll be there when u have no one,
In your darkest hour ill be your light,
Making sure you are alright,
I'll hold u down when life blows,
I'll...

Yawing

I can't even Post online without someone snitching,
there's always a Karen with the nerve to start bitching,
like she wakes up with her F.B. fingers twitching,
ready to say what her mind's been itching,
but ain't no one want to listen to what...

Solid Drops

My foundation is extremely strong,
just stand upon it when things go wrong,
it's been around for many years,
built strong from crying tears,
making a connection that never ends,
and for family, laws I will...

Unspoken Truths

In crowded halls where shadows blend,
A boy met a girl, his newfound friend.
Her laughter bright, her spirit free,
She danced through life, a sight to see.

Their paths had crossed not long ago,
In fleeting moments, their bond did grow.
He...

Jury Duty

For the record, this ain't of my doing,
and there pay, ya I should be suing,
because I should be at the river canoeing,
so once again the government screwing,
their only offer is the coffee's brewing,
and please no bubble gum chewing,
which...

Soul Read

Empty bed
No spread
No head
No she said
Minds not ed
Break bread
Looking to Wed
Not misled
Think ahead
I got lead
GODs not dead
Have bled
Color red
Fears fled
Love instead...

My Duty

Revenge I must restrain,
At Peace, I must remain,
In control, I must maintain,
My goals, I must explain,
Success, I must obtain,
A beast, I must contain,
Hatred, I must drain,
Love I must...
