Him
Hombre
Incredible
Manly
I know nothing about him
Yet I know everything
And I knew I was in love
His presence exudes sexuality
His lips
His touch
His heat
All of him
Just for me
Just maybe
Carnal Bliss
His kiss on my lips
On all of them
His gentle strength
Heaven in his embrace
I thanked God
I thanked deities
Blasphemy at my peak
Skin to skin
He gives me life
And yet
He kills me at the same time

You lied to me
And you made promises
That you couldn’t keep
Did it on purpose too
But maybe not maliciously
We fought
We argued
Said things we didn’t mean
But we said them cuz we knew they’d hurt
We wanted to cut deep
Caught up
heat of the moment
We weren’t trying to lose
Scarred battle wounds
we didn’t win the war
We ended
Called it quits
Go do you and I did me
Loose ends
Left hurt feelings
stomach in a knot
Dead flower petals of he loves me
he loves me not
Thinking we should talk
but knowing it’s too late
Cant fix what was never meant to be
From the beginning
call it density
Or maybe fate
Cuz we both know it’s best we went our separate ways
Even if we could try to recreate the past
the new me wouldn’t want to
Some things are better left broken
Embers turned ash
The truth hurts
It’s a fact
Heart in a hurst
leave it at that.

We can hardly breath
Caught up in the moment
While he kisses me to sleep
His heartbeat was my lullaby
And I was his tantalizing peak
We live for the nights we can’t remember
With the ones that we won’t forget
Tonight we will remember it all
Waking up without a hangover
Overdosed on him
We made our own music
Moving to our own beat
New scene
we’ve been here before
He gave me a feeling
It’s what I’ve been looking for
He calls me his baby
We belong together
If we keep this up you won’t be able to breathe
Without me next to you
I can’t help that you have the same affect on me too.
We played our role
Academy performance
Perfect couple
You and Me
Always together
Picture perfect scenes
Me and you
Like a novel
Like a play
Practice makes perfect
And we couldn’t let them down
The audience
Always watching
Took no chances
No double takes
Scene one
Cut
Straight to the chase
You and I
We took a bow
As I forgot our vows
To love you forever
Show stopping
Putting on a show
For the world to see
To see us
As we should be
And now I see
I forgot the most important thing
I forgot to love you
Dimming lights
Empty stage
I did almost everything right
Perfect hair
Remembered all of my lines
But I forgot to love you
Perfect lips
Glossy like you love them
Didn’t miss my cue
But I forgot to love you
Now the credits
I was the leading star
I took the applause
I took the glory
This was my show
And I glowed
I basked in the lime light
I had it all
I had you
Red carpet
Elbow rubbing
A star
Amongst the stars
I missed my wish
Amid the mist
Of my ignorance
To your significance
I forgot to love you

I was his
His personified muse
He was my heart
My love letter
We never slept together
but we made love
I was his
Passion on paper
I left my mark
on his heart
Tattooed
on his left ventricle
He carries my face
Engraved
in his memory
Latenight
Whispers my name
Sweet
like the Hennessy
on his lips
Like the scent of him
Strength
mixed with blunt truths
Kush breeze
I was his
I am his fix
His soul calls out
Bleeds for me
Innocently
evoking
Intoxicating
Passionately
Explicit dreams
Of his ink
dancing with my ABC’s
Love dream
turned love story
Love story
turned
burnt love letters
Morphed love
Now ash embers

Love
Why do you always have to play
Love games?
Pretending like all is okay
But I can’t ever have what I want
Lazy love
Always half-assing
It’s always something
Makes me want to break up with you
If only I could
I’d run the other way
Instead of wanting you to stay
I’d change my address
And my number too
I’d even give you a fake name
To keep me away
Far away from you
Then you’d never find me
Until you catch me off guard
Like you tend to do
When I least expect it
Or maybe I let you find me
Seems like I keep on falling
But always for the wrong type
Foxx knows my pain
So I let it burn
Usher no regrets
Someone always told me it’d be this way
You love someone
but aren’t reciprocated
They’re too busy
loving someone else
While you’re too caught up
Can’t see the one that has you on a pedestal
Losing is inevitable
Trying to play love’s game
Unfair advantages
Of Love’s blind ways
