I teach / even if I'm still learning. / I love / even if I am not loved. / I write / even if not well. / I've lost / even if my mother still watches.
If I never see the sun again I'll be all right The light of your smile will last a million years It'll guide my way Even on the darkest of days, it'll never lead me astray. If I never hear my favorite song another time I'll be all right The sound of your voice will echo in my ears It'll calm my heart and ease my fears When the silence gets too loud, I'll squeeze my eyes and listen to your hymn If I never feel the warmth of my mother's touch again The benevolence of your hug will carry me for countless hours It'll keep my toes toasty and my mind nimble When the air around me gets cold, your arms will melt me If I never taste another fresh raspberry for as long as I live It's ok because your lips are sweeter than the sweetest berry They'll kiss away the pain Even if they spill sour words, I'll lick them clean while I wait in vain If I never smell a rose in the spring time air It'll be just fine I swear, if the only scent I breathe in is the aroma of you When I swallow air filled with you I'll let of a sigh of relief My senses are lost in the medley of you   Intoxicating Vibrating Earthshaking Body aching My senses are lost in the medley of you

Senseless
I'm a wreck of mixed up words I want to blame you for it all Place you in the corner and publicly shame you for stealing the heart I gave you Nothing is right but how can I prove it's wrong when I can't tell the future Can't I just blame you? For leaving? For Vegas? For all the tears? Can't I just scream? Just this once? Can you just come back? Just this once? Then never leave again. Can't we make this work? Am I making any sense at all? All I feel is the wreck. The car crashing Your hand reaching The words in my heart The fire in your eyes giving away all of your lies I am a wreck and you deserve the blame.

Incriminate
Of all the things I've got It's my large ******* I treasure most My tiny waist and slender fingers My dainty wrists The laugh that bubbles from my belly The smile that's been called infectious that I treasure most Of all the things I've got My vocabulary is my dopest gift My brain that's lightyears beyond your wildest thought The eyes I use when luring you in for just one more taste of my lips, which just happen to be my dopest gift Of all the things I've got It's my cafe con leche skin that I like the most My flat stomach and toned **** My hips that were made for making you melt It's my quick wit that I'm most proud of Of all the things I've got and I've got a lot It's you that my very best part

All The Things I've Got
To unbreak a heart Is to be alive when you feel death all around you It's to smile when all your tears are melting through your pores It's to be happy when sadness owns your every breath It's to pretend the impossible is happening when you know the reality of it all To unbreak a heart Is to never have been in love It's to wash your hands of the past when your present is made up of ever present memories It's to make believe you never believed when you've still got a ray of hope It's to laugh out loud when your insides feel like they're collapsing To unbreak a heart Is to a tell a lie To cross your heart and hope to die To recognize your faults and forgive his sins To pray for forgiveness To lose the fight and learn to live with regrets To marry out of connivence To unbreak a heart is to have never loved at all

To Unbreak a Heart
Sleep is all I want Instead I'm up searching for Harlem Maybe I'm looking for what's already found Maybe I'm looking for what's been gone too long

Searching for Harlem
Broken and forsaken How mistaken I was to think you'd never go Wasted my time Filled my mind with lies Drown my heart with your **** words and swept me away

I feel worthless, but if you ask Sallie Mae they'll price me just below $100,000.

Sallie Mae
My sister gave him the nickname I've never thought to ask All I know is all I know and it's more than you should ask.

Know Nothings
I teach even if I'm still learning. I love even if I am not loved. I write even if not well. I've lost even if my mother still watches.

Autobiography
There is a valley in between my ******* Taut skin the color of unstained rosewood Just left of the center is a nearly systemically deep brown dot I've heard you say it was beautiful I've felt your fingers trace its edges I've melted as you've kissed the valley And crumbled as you caused my breath to come in waves The mountains on either side are lithe Swaying as you stroke the sides of my valley Tender and full Full of hope for feeding a child with your lips My eyes have followed as you've pressed your palm flat against my valley My knees shook My ankles trembled My fist tightened My body has become a tropical paradise A vibrant valley Full and tender Rich with rosewood Lonely and longing Cautious as I wait on your next calamitous visit
