Love Ritual

Sometimes I love you and sometimes I hate you it’s a thin line,

So I bite my tongue and my pride?

Yeah I swallow it, even when I’m right

Choosing my battles, it’s a constant inner fight

It’ll be alright in the end as long as we have each other,

there will always be another ready and willing

I’ve tried it and they don’t compare to what you’ve got me feeling

Shits getting kinda serious you used to be a hook and now you’re the Muse behind my lyrics

yeah and I wouldn’t stop it even if I could,

love is good specially when it hurts

kinda ironic how our fighting turns into something iconic

its become a ritual,

The outcome’s so good its becoming habitual

we always end up next to each other

I low key think the roughness gets you purposely all hot and bothered

over insignificant shit

fireworks and hair pulling and we forget why we were upset

Good things aren’t easy and we could be great

What do you say?

you and me against the world till the end.

My Gift To You

Being You means that every day should be a celebration

Today is extra special  because it’s the day you took your first breath and

You deserve all that is breathtakingly beautiful in the universe

If you let me, there is nothing in the world I won’t do to give it to you

But for now I’ll keep writing you these poetic verses

When a writer falls in love with you, you live forever

So I gift you immortality on your birthday

If my melodic sonnet shows you how amazing you are

My rhapsodic lyrics have served their purpose

I want the world to see you how I see you

May they one day feel what I feel whenever I am near you

Beyond handsome your whole being is beautiful, I see your worth

Not even close to what you deserve, just an homage to you on your day of birth.

Not The Same

They say that distance makes the heart grow fonder

Maybe we both needed to be just a bit farther

We both thought it would all be the same

But there were no butterflies when I saw your face

I could not explain this awkward detachedness

It was you but it was different

This wasn’t the same person I had been missing

Flashbacks of when your hugs made my heart skip a beat

You had not yet kissed me and I already couldn’t breath

No

Who are you and where is He?

Same face…

Same body….

But not the same heat

Could it be that you’re the same and it is I who has changed?

That as time went by my love for you was replaced?

Was it always a facade?

I keep searching, please help me find you

Is it that I am in love with Him?

The Him that you no longer are?

Is He the one that still holds my heart?

Maybe it’s because you left

And with absence love was replaced with resentment

How do I explain to you that I’m in love with the memory of you

But I just don’t love you

I feel closer to you when you’re gone

Loneliness compliments the sadness of my loss

The distance makes the idea of “us” a comfortable existence

As I continue to yearn for the “we” that is now missing.

Him

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

….TBC

Take A Shot For Me

I’m the one, yeah I said it
I’m the one, don’t you forget it
The way you stunt, that’s me
The way you swag, that’s me
The way you compose and sing songs,
Did you forget? That’s me
The nostalgic feeling in your heart baby,
Yeah that’s me,
It’s me
The empty pit deep in your soul that’s me…
Can’t you see?

Yeah you’re wasted
And yeah you’re wasted
It’s useless, but keep trying to forget me with a replacement.
Don’t know why you’re pretending,
Fronting like your celebrating,
We both know I’m the reason that you’re always getting faded, cuz she ain’t me…
So take a shot for me.

Leighni’s Room

I thought he was my dream guy
I dropped the ball on this one
I knew I should have listened
Woman’s intuition is always right
Now I’m sitting here waiting
It’s hours past our reservations
Our anniversary ended
You forgot and I’m still waiting
Holding on to what we have
it’s three hours past midnight
I still don’t know where he’s been at
I’m really getting tired
Of this constant “stand me up” game

The guy I left for him
keeps calling when I’m lonely
It’s almost like he knows
You’re out and I’m home alone
You have a new message
Left a few you ignored my texts and
I gotta tell you im really getting tired
of this “stand me up” game
He leaves me a message
I’m getting kinda restless
I’d usually ignore it
But tonight I don’t give a shit

“fuck that ***** that you love so bad”
Now I’m really hoping that you’ll call me back
“fuck that ***** that you think you found and since you picked up”….
Yeah he knows your not around

he’s in town for the weekend
Why am I up I should be sleeping
He’s glad I answered he’s been thinking
We should talk
if id just listen
If im happy
why didnt his call go to voicemail again?
Where are you when I need you
We shouldn’t have these issues
You love me but I can’t get the time of day

Its four hours past midnight
I still don’t know where you’ve been at
Seems like we keep heading towards a dead end
The guy I left for you
Hates that I love you
And Hates it more
that i allow this pain
He never thought he’d see the day
He’d be the one making excuses
Not for you he just can’t stand
To see my heart break
His voice sounds kinda tipsy
I know he’s been drinking
Says it’s me who he’s been missing
Could have gone home to one of his b*tches
But first he Thought he’d holla
he bet his last dollar
That I’d be sleeping alone again.
