Oh this poet knows that he's nice with the words.
Maybe it'd be nice if our minds could merge.
My Fatima waiting on her knight in shining
But she doesn't need him because her nights are shining
Her roots are strong but she cut the locks now her roots are gone
An African queen that I want to rest upon
But we don't get none, cause she just gets done
“I'm done, it's done, we're done.”
I ain't a sprinter, I don't know how to run
You are my sun
You are the one
It's always something
That stems from nothing
Hate was my vice, attention was your problem
You were gonna help me through mine
I was gonna help you through yours
But I guess I'm not yours
My black hole swallows my pride.
My black hole makes me beg for forgiveness.
I never get it, of course not. I don't deserve it.
My black hole pulls in my fears and pays no mind to my prayers.
I wake up asleep and sleep awake.
I've been ruined by my own sins.
These sins I never own up to.
Is that my black hole writing?
I'm the victim here. Swear.
My only salvation is located in the hole.
****, I can see it.
If I jump in I may be lost forever. But I'm forever lost.
My black hole haunts my dreams.
And I don't even dream anymore.
I just see everything I'm not. Everything I want to be.
My black hole gets rave reviews. Very popular among the normal.
Normal, I wish my mind could do that. I wish I could get there.
This hole, it pumps profusely.
Someone rip it away.
The bending light of love.
Snell's law tells me light comes from two.
But I see many more. Many who love, many who live. Life is so beautiful, the highs and lows that churn and mold a beautiful soul. The pureness of you all, your beauty and grace. I love you all. Every man and woman, boy and girl. You are all special. You have God in you, you have God with you.
My loved ones guide me to the top of my dreams. They deserve so much. More than I can give them. So I ask for the one above to do what he can.
Why am I not happy?I've needed space for as long as I can remember.
Love scares me still. It scars me still.
I hate it.
Why am I not happy?
I build for others, yet my lot is empty.
When a hand is needed, I give it.
When I need one, I shout out to people who cannot hear over the sound of their own voices.
Why am I not happy?
Maybe I'm broken, I need people but don't want them.
Self-centered but not self-serving.
When I show them what my worth is, it'll be too late.  
I am happy. Just not happy enough.
Catch me in the clouds fighting my demons.
My sword slices nice and easy.
I marvel at the sweet nectar that leaks from my enemies.
No man nor woman is better at harming me than me. Such is life I suppose.
You and me.  One in the same.
We're alot alike you know, soft and maybe a little too nice.

Don't compare me to you.
I know where that's gotten me, time will tell where it'll get you.
Pain suits me well, I take it in stride and bounce back like a rubberband. You spin around and yield to your vices.
Now that we've separated, I see it.
You're nothing like me brother, and you never will be.
What is a star beneath the moon
The rock that holds us all together
74 reasons why we love life?
A beautiful spirit that radiates as you move near it
A flower that has withstood the test of time and kicked time's ***
The Bell that rings across generations to come
Who knew that two lovely flowers could converge together in the name of love
One has since wilted away but still remains embedded in our hearts and bloodstream
One is still here, among the forces that shake the ground we walk upon
Don't wait up.


The decision has been made to defend myself.
As my mind wanders, the softer the shield gets. It can't hold on for long.
The camel's back is broken because the horse didn't drink.
No matter how much sense it made to, and how many times I told it to.
My intentions were good at least. My heart was open.
But I am at peace with the trials of recent.
There are no knicks in my armor.
I have, and will survive. My heart will recover.
