I remember watching this when he was first on and still today his shit moves me because of the delivery and how it speaks to things that affect me and us all. This is for all the women in the room who think men don't burn, that when it comes to heartbreak it's never our turn, it don't matter who or what is to blame because when it comes to the first week after a breakup alone always feels the same. - Rafael Casal
damn. 441 likes and only 1 dislike?? This is really good. one of the best ive heard. but my #1 favorite is Amir Sulaiman - She said she'd prefer a broken neck to another broken heart. It is a really POWERFUL poem.
Hes soo good..almost everytime i hear his poetry,first he always has a real message,and he seems like he always challenges his self,more n more!! An second.I always wanna give up writing when i hear him. People go through stages as a writer,he's no dummy in that feild.Good Artist!
People in my family were close to him... i didn't know him but i wish i did. My dad's side came from the same area... and they were just good friends. They knew kate, joe, all the kids and still knew them after all their success. i would've been honored to meet him. - stay peace
omg i'm totally in love with this guy. I don't know if he has anymore def jams, but just after hearing his Barbie and Ken 101, omg... and this one just agghh! he awesome(:
@rafaelcasal Of course you inspire my poetry all the time.. i fell in love with your poetry when i first heard it.. im only 16 but i hope to be close to your level someday.....
To be honest when I broke up with this guy I thought to myself wow guys are actually so heartless . Do they even care? How do they forget so easily? But after hearing this poem I understand and I thank you.
Man, that was fucking great....you describe the first break-up to a T. I'm going through it right now. Ain't easy! But dis video is helping me through it....thanks man. :)
i like the whole poetry,but my favorite part is when he starts talkin about jealousy dreams about deceiving so that's what we do, live out each others nightmare until where bed full of problems N' solvin is not an option cause solutions our fuel.......
@LaughingLlama It could really go both ways. He could've broken up with her over problems and now he's in a regret/guilt stage or she could have broken up with him too for the same reasons. Idk not really defined.

Watched this years ago when I was going through tough times, decided to dig it out and re-watch it again today. The last line still gives me chills.
Whenever i feel like going back to the moment I loved, i listen to this, sit back & relax. Thank you.

I always think the guy doesn't care, but now I realize I'm wrong. I can definitely feel him on this.

Spoken truth
goosebumps
awwwwww
last line is from the song all the rest by Twiztid just so you know
+Gia Alexander the song was released in 2010, this poem was 2008 just so you know
+Magknum oh I'm sorry I didn't even think to check dates or anything I just made an assumption. thank you for correcting that, My mistake c:
+Gia Alexander no its okay, who knows what if rafael was a ghost writer for Twiztid aha
He's awesome the fast delivery he puts in all his poems, is that his style or do you think he's nervoius
Dang. How's he know what was in my head six years ago
Wow
AAAAWWW!!
Holy shit, this is emotional.
He is so real
Casal sounds like Kasal. Kasal in Filipino means Marry. Rafel, Kasal me.
Daaammmnnn he said a mouthful.... Hell, we be crying & snotting & shit too.... Then tell everybody it ain't nothing & carry it to the grave
everyone can relate to this...
# swagggg
THIS SHIT IS DEEPPPP
I heard that!
oh shit, my heart sank..
Dat boi got talent
i like the whole poetry,but my favorite part is when he starts talkin about jealousy dreams about deceiving so that's what we do, live out each others nightmare until where bed full of problems N' solvin is not an option cause solutions our fuel.......
Fucking love this poem!
Anyone have the words?
@LaughingLlama It could really go both ways. He could've broken up with her over problems and now he's in a regret/guilt stage or she could have broken up with him too for the same reasons. Idk not really defined.
Damn
@funkluv that's his style. He's a rapper too so it might stem from that as well.
Alone, always feels the same.
Real shyt
Damn..
Say that bruh *snap* *snap* *snap*
Deep
OH. MY . FUCKING. GOD! love this right here
Wow :/
psh. Two months. That was me for two months. But It's cool to know he was the same. (I just took insanely long)
the one person who thumbs down obviously cant relate...
Ain't it the truth!
he is so damn cute lol
this shit is to real
the one person that disliked this poem must be the lonely girl he's talking about lol
