Between bed sheets Flickers of intimacy Glimpses that there were something more Tricks of the eyes I grabbed glasses I need moments years A Lifetime You would not provide

Reason I’m Celibate
“I love you” is so often not meant. To enjoy time with a person doesn’t equate to that. Those words change everything, and you didn’t understand the weight of it. What it truly meant. I did though….and you left Just as expected

False
You told me about your abandonment issues and how I contributed to them before. This time I remembered not to make the same mistake. I reached out for you, but you smacked my hand away. I did it again and again so you know I cared, but I became the pest. The burden you wanted to let go. Now you and I are the same. I was abandoned.

Irony
Too tempting is it to jump into the abyss of numbed feelings to save yourself from getting hurt again. Repeating the same mantra, “Keep your heart open . It’s okay to feel the pain.” This song is getting old, I try to keep myself busy. But from time to time, I daydream of my home back in the abyss.

What is it to be sunlight
I am passion, fire and willpower personified. The tongue inside my mouth try to swallow words that don’t agree with my brain. It fails. They are calmness, earth, and control personified. Able to trust their brain and heart, they know when to take shelter. When the fire gets too hot. They thought they had me figured out. That they were my opposite and the perfect element to balance me out without smothering me like water or adding fuel like air. I always found a way to escape

Commitment issues
It ***** that pain is poetic. So many people can relate to each other through pain. I guess that means everyone is poetic

Weird
You sound healthy Strong, like you are okay You see me smile so brightly, I'm hurt You smell exactly the same as before I left: cinnamon and tears I wonder if you taste the same, warm as a hug As I go to reach out for you, You feel nothing, and I feel cold

5 senses
We are African descendants. Glorify your ***** ***** hair. Don't shrink and cower in fear. Own yourself The sun kissed and blessed you. Accept that your hair won't be straight and silky. We are African Descendants.

Black Beauty
I am alone You let me or should I say us go Lack of communication Our problem But you can never say I didn't love You Made me worry That I wasn't good enough "Say  you'll  remember  me Standing  in  a  nice  dress,  staring  at  the  sunset  babe Red  lips  and  rosy  cheeks Say  you'll  see  me  again  even  if  it's  just  in  your  wildest  dreams" I am alone Tho our memories feel like forever I will continue smiling At least I know to let go I'm not holding on to something broken Now.. When we pass each other in the hallway.. I wish you the best
