Drunk textin’
Dom McDo Aug 2023
1 shot
2 shots
3 shots in
Thoughts of you invade my mind
Order another round
I hear your voice
I miss that sweet sound
I take more shots
Drink of choice idk just keep em dark
I start typing
You know how I’m coming no need to cap
I swear I’m not making it home tonight
Let me slide thru for a night cap
Cuddle watch greys anatomy
While I wrap my arms around your anatomy
Hope your not mad at me
But I just wanna lay here
Where I feel safe in this space with you

Fast forward 3pm
I wake up to a dm
“Check the microwave”
You made pancakes my fave
I type back THANK YOU 😊😊 !!! all caps

I can’t think of a better way to repay you
So let me cater to you
Order an edible arrangement sent to your job for you
Grab a bottle of your favorite wine
I know you get off at nine
Checking off the list of things I know you love

Laying out flowers
For you are my rose
I can’t say I chose a better bouquet
For my boo thing

Hair tied apron on
Turn the oven on
If you don’t know what’s going on yet
I can bet you’ll enjoy

9:05pm
Greet you at the door
Let me take you off your feet
As I carry you to your seat
Reminiscing on your day in your way
Wine and dine
Run your bath
Rub your feet
Yes I’m just being sweet

Candle lit massage
Speaking to you not in messages
But in your love languages
Hopefully I’m fluent

They say talk is cheap
But it’s fulfilling
I know
I know

You not used to someone being gentle
Let me adjust
Wrap my hand around your throat
Come here girl I miss you
That’s right
I said “girl I miss you “

Shoot my shot?

Bet
set my sights
Aim my bow
Take a deep breath
Let it go
I know you think your bulletproof
But see I’m skillful and aloof
So you won’t see this coming
My aim is true
Coming from 1126 archer Avenue
Straight To you
And I won’t miss
Before you knew it I claimed your heart
It was cold but I found warmth in it
It’s a bold claim
To say my aim was you
They say love is blind
So I hope you don’t mind but I shot with my eyes closed
It’s your move
What’s next for us
Will you be mine ?
Was that line too soon
See I want you to swoon
As i réel you in like the moon
Feel these vibes like a rope pulling you in
I just hope you realize I’m not perfect
but your worth it

Deep convo’s pt.2
Dom McDo Mar 2021
Talk is cheap but it’s fulfilling
Yeah my words be sweet
But your the sweetest
See it all began when you piqued my interest
So I had to invest
Your not a damsel in distress
So I’ll reassess
Choose my moment carefully
Then address
See I’m fully invested
So I’m not concerned about being contested
See I learned from experience
And I’m here to give my best
Can I live my life with you in hand
I don’t think you understand I hold you
See I hold you in a high regard
Beyond the standard
I love hard
So it’s hard to catch my gander
I surrender you piqued my interest
And my heart picked you
See I’ll stick with you
Cause loyalty is true
So like royalty I’ll swear mine to you
Lay my life on the line for you
I just hope I don’t get left on seen
When you read these lines
See I’m speaking from the heart
And I’ve been eyeing you from the start
See I don’t wanna start unless I can play my part

My Space
Dom McDo Dec 2020
It might sound crazy
But I need some space
It was bound to happen
But I’m drifting to a place
I call my special space
Where the world moves at my pace
All the grooves shape it just right
The clouds drape just low enough
To hide enough light
And my pen glides a cross this notebook
Like lightning
It’s been a while since I entered my space
The place I call my own
Where my emotions
Become a verbal potion
You could say I’m going through the motions
But my words paint a beautiful ocean
I’m the back ground
Like I said it might sound crazy
But around those parts
I’m where everything starts
My area to show my art
No one here to help me out so
I play Picasso
Oh so many works
Anything is possible
In fact in this space
I do the impossible
I’d give you a view
But the look on your face is skeptical
And clearly I need an intellectual
To understand this conceptual space
I call my own
Dec 2020 · 52
Kept you waiting
Dom McDo Dec 2020
Hey wall flower
Let’s not tarnish the moment
I see you in fact I’m admonished by you
I meant to say I’m astonished
But back to it
Hey wall flower
Say it might be corny
But I chose all the wrong flowers before you
I tried roses
And was hurt more than once
Thorn by thorn
I tried a lotus
But I was mislead by its petals
Yet some how I know this
Life set us down paths for this encounter
Clearly we have a purpose
I propose we take our time as to figure it out
Is that fine by you ?
I don’t know I just I hope I chose the correct approach
With these words of mine
Nope I won’t waste your time
Yes actions speak louder than words
But let these words dwell on your subconscious
Submerged in feelings of infatuation
The kind of feelings that put my Name in quotation
At the forefront of your mind
Instead of coming off as a pawn in rotation
This king wishes to fawn all over a True Queen
Am I saying all the right things
I mean I do see a smile and hearts in your eyes
LoL I jest
Well....Just let me know
Did I pass this Test
I gave it my best attempt
Did it separate me from the rest
No emojis just raw emotion
Let me inebriate you with this verbal Potion
As I liberate my mental
Hope it was worth the wait
For the shy girls “the wall flowers”

I am who I am
I am not perfect
But life is perfecting me
I’m not Number one
But I am the Only One
The only me
He who stands alone
Much like the number one
I do stand strong
Much like the number one
I am not Alone
I am who I am
Because I’ve never tried to be anyone else
I’m many things
Intelligent , an ******* , caring , strong
I look back as I can’t right my wrongs
Hell bent on breaking cycles
much like King Kong
I am A King
And my crown is all my own
Half black half colored
I found balance within myself
I own what I lack
And that balance projected itself on my crown
There may be many like it but
this crown is all my own
You can steal my image
But it’s still mine alone
So go imagine your own
I’m not Number one
But I am the only One
Me
Dtp
Dom Tha poet
You can jot it down but I wrote it
So when you say it quote it
This is nothing more than my affirmation
So I say it with quotation “ I am The only one “
I’m Number one
One of a kind Genuine
I’ll let you in on something
Authentic
Create the best you that you can be someone truly unique
Develop you own aesthetic
And leave a mark completely majestic
I am who I am
I am not perfect
But I am perfectly me
I’m just a first edition
The raw rendition
Number one est. 11/26/93
Here I am
I’m just Me
One of a kind
My mother had a set of 4
And I’m not number one but I’m number one
3 sisters and then there’s me
The one
There’s many of you of course there’s one of me

Rumble
Dom McDo Dec 2020
Don’t write me
Don’t tell me how you wanna fight me
I don’t wanna hear a thing
Just pull up
We can slide to the room
Close that door and four walls become a ring
Slide those clothes off
No need to show off
Babegirl where’s all that tough talk
You say you like it raw
So walk that walk
Do your lil move
Let’s set a rhythm
You know the groove
It’s been a long day
So take it all off and let me sooth your everything
Nah I’m not letting up
See I haven’t had enough
Was that too much
See I’m ready for at least 3 more rounds
They call it pound town
And I’m serving brick
Pulling you in take that di-
Did I hit the top
You say don’t stop
I grip you tight as I hold you close
Girl your sooo tight
I heard your close
Don’t tap yet
The sun just rose
Look at the mess we made
In that nest we laid
Hot, sweaty, sticky
Bumping lil dicky
Here’s a Gatorade
Let’s get ready
To Rumble
Retrograde back to me
I’ll pull you hair
As you throw it back to me
I can acknowledge
You have a doctors degree
In Carnel knowledge
look at me
This is for you eyes only
I’ll do things for you only
Drop down arch it low
We’re on demon time
I hope you know
I feel the warmth of your skin
As I dig in
You bite your lip
I like that
Turn around
I start to kiss my way down
It’s not thanksgivings
But I’m giving thanks
For the cheeks I basted
You taste soo sweet
I call you tootsie pop
I lick my way to the center
As you *** nonstop
You go off like a geyser
I’m covered in a quick shower
I think you sprayed the dresser
Talk about explosive water power
My little fountain
Licking my lips my thirst is quenched
Chefs kiss for the fountain in your hips
Now mount me as I pin you
Floating in the air feel me within you
I read the Kama sutra
So mommas i know what suits yah
As we trade and transfer energy
A tie is made
And I’m tied to your soul
We both know you stole mine
You fought well
This was a battle of attrition
With us both working out the best rendition
I gave you all of me
And I took all of you
Dec 2020 · 33
You.
Dom McDo Dec 2020
Not gonna lie
You caught my eye
On a different accord
Some how you stood out
Just a different vibe
I sent vibes to you
You asked if I was bored flirting
Nah , I’m really certain
Your the one with whom
I’m flirting
One thing I noticed
Your afraid to be hurt
And I get that
Soo I know you’ve been hurt before
But I just think you should know I’m here
Have no fear
Could I ease your burden
For you I’m certain
Shows not over
don’t pull the curtain
Over and Over
We’ve run this race
Felt like that when I first saw you face
Euphoria you take me to a special place
Foreign to the body close in mind
That smile had me inebriated
Familiar to my soul
You make me feel whole
Unions a goal
But but this reunion was foretold
Sorry I don’t mean to come off fixated
But you got me elated
I only hope it’s reciprocated
I wanna make you feel perfect
Without you feeling like a prefect
Soo on that note I elect
Will you be Mine ?
Let me ease your mind
You’ve been my drug
Get you addicted to mine
Start off slow
All hugs and cuddles
A few kisses and you make a puddle
Lol this might just be muddled thoughts
Dec 2020 · 35
I want to meet you
Dom McDo Dec 2020
Hey
Yes you
Yeah I wanna talk to you
Get to know you
talk about life with you
Take in that view
Let a young king vibe with you
Can I uplift you
Yes I said uplift you
Introduce a vibe so different
Walk in stride
Taking all of you
Let’s walk lakeshore and watch the tide
Go on a tour not just the 50 states
You give me world tour vibes
So let me give you the world
Just because I see the world in you
All I could want or need
I’m not the type to beg and plead
But let this conversation plant a seed
Let me seep into your mind
Just as you’ve leaped into my heart
I could saturate your thoughts
And maybe transform you on the inside
Just like inside my heart you reside
Allow me the privilege of climbing inside yours
And allow me to pillage your love away
I jest
It’s a joke but with a stroke of the pen and some luck
I could get you heart struck
Dec 2020 · 33
Damage pt.2
Dom McDo Dec 2020
They say Hurt people Hurt people
Listen close
I may be damaged Goods
But hey I’m still Good
You don’t have to say too much
Just know your understood
I ain’t gotta touch you
Just to feel your heart
Tell me what aching
What’s got you torn apart
Taking it all in
Tell me where to start
Just pull it all in
I can heal your broken heart
I don’t know who hurt you
But they didn’t deserve you
Broken down
I’ll stick around to help you rebuild
Tell me all your secrets
Promise I’ll keep my lips sealed
I got a few secrets
I can tell you too
Hurt people hurt people
So I’ve been told
But real people heal people
That’s how this story goes
Now here we go
I may be damaged Goods
But Hey I’m still Good
Can you heal my heart
Make it feel good
Or just take the time to ask
If I’m Good
I can gift my heart
Can you hold it like a work of art
Dec 2020 · 30
Damaged
Dom McDo Dec 2020
I may be damaged goods
But I’m still Good
I shouldn’t have to say it for my feelings to be understood
I don’t like to open up
But for you I could
If I bottle it up
Would we still be good
Let’s go full throttle
I’ll just ask if
Hurt people hurt people
Let me ask are you worth the pain
Cuz for you I’d stand the rain
Once again hurt people hurt people
But real people set out to heal people
So what’s the deal witcha
Let me get your attention
I may be damaged goods
But hey I’m still Good
So take me off the shelf
So I can show off I’m still good
I know it may sound strange
But promise my love won’t change
Bound to fix it
Just give sound reason

Live from a sunken place
Dom McDo Dec 2020
Some might call this a sunken place
But to tell the truth
This is my place to be open
Some have a booth
Some have a lil tree
Even a drink or two
But me I have this book
I think it’s pretty cool
How open I can be
Come with me take a look
I’m just hopeing you’ll see
Just a bit of what it’s like to be me
Take a gander flip a page or two
Maybe you’ll find something that resonates with you
So with no further ado
I’m Dom
Coming to you
Live
From a sunken Place
Welcome to my space

Gem In my Eye
Dom McDo Dec 2020
Gemini
Gemini
Gem in my eye
Flawless in my eyes
I look at you and I’m astonished
Taken in by your many sides
Each one took a part of me
Just stuck in my heart like a book mark
This is probably a stroke of luck
Like what was the probability of meeting you
**** I even fell for you
You really are the Gem in my Eye
Was it your goal
Like two halves of a whole
You bring balance
And like the other half let me balance you
The other half of my soul
I’m here for you
I’m here with you
Every side of you
You little Gemini
Gem in my eye
Shining bright as you twinkle in my eyes
Twinkle twinkle perfect gem
Finely cut right to perfection
My object of affection
You’re a gem ,And I’m a jewel thief
Let me sweep you off of your feet
As I whisk you away
I gotta hold you tight
It’s only right
For the Gem In my eye
Who I call my Gemini

A perfect fit right
Soo go do you

Welcome to Domo’s kitchen

Yeah I’ll be the waiter for you
So you’d like a tall glass of wine
Light ice
That’s t fine
Last but not least

Your obviously serving looks
So let me cook something especially exquisite
I see you peaking over my shoulder
So how’d you like a peaking duck
No ok I understand
So you like some lobster bisque
Well this isn’t red lobster so I’ll go fetch on
How’d you like to pick a movie till I return
Promise I won’t be gone long
No maybe some music
I’m just trying to amuse you
Not even trying to ****** you
Yeah you can come with me
I’d like that
Allot of the lobsters here look small
And I aim to make a meal not small but as bountiful as you are beautiful

Now back to you

Phoenix
Dom McDo Dec 2020
Light that fuse
Spark my imagination
Be my muse
Let’s change locations
Strike the pose you chose
And just like that time froze
Always and forever
In this moment in time your mine forever
Pose again
As the sun rose in your back drop
Don’t stop I zoom in and my jaw drops
You give me inspiration
And direction
But my dedication to our situation
Let’s change locations again
Perfectly Unperfected
Again strike a pose
Such an elegant pose
Don’t stop
Immortalized with each pose
Live on my immortal flame
Smoldering on the intimacy of trust
It might seem to lack lust
But your stacked against the standard
So what do you lack
I’m unfamiliar
That which I am familiar with is a Beautiful Queen in the Sunset
Darling don’t let your sunset burn too bright
As I use my lense to take in the sight
You have your doubts
But I sense you know I’ll be here even after you figure it out
Last one strike your best pose
With you best smile
Do the cute thing with your hair
It’s been a while since you smiled soo bright
Let me focus on the sight
And Pose

Worth
Dom McDo Nov 2020
Nights like this I question my worth
Just up at night asking my demons why
Am I worth it
My am I nobody’s perfect
I tell myself I’m more than enough
Yet I can’t quell the feeling I’m not good enough
I hide behind a tough veil
And all I feel I ever do is fail
But back to my demons
With my back against the glass wall of my ego
Why am I not enough
I’m a lot of things but I never seem to be enough
You ever try to block it out
But it’s not enough
Your not as tough as you wish you were
Your not as handsome as you could be
Your not stuffing this back to the recesses of your mind
It’s kinda said this is what you think at 2am
You lay there and cry
Even that’s not enough
Your pathetic
Is this the pathetic thing to think
All your weak thoughts seem to reach the brink
And all you can ponder is your not good enough
Disgusted by your weak thoughts
Only to be disgusted by yourself
Where the **** is your mental health
Where’s that wealth of knowledge
As you stand on a mental ledge
You jump and plummet into the sea of dark thoughts
Unable to see the summit
You sink into the sea of thought
As deep as it is Dark
Seems no light can peak through to you
You were never Enough

Exhausted
Dom McDo Sep 2020
Yo I’m tired
Like you don’t even know
I’m tired of walking on egg shells
Seems like I’m walking through hell
Got the world telling me “No”
You can’t do this
Don’t do that
Man idk I thought this was my life
I was taught coming up “ All I gotta do is be black and Die”
And I can’t even lie it’s 2020
And that not even true no more
Seems everywhere I go it’s another closed Door
“Do it this way”
“No that’s not the right way “
So many saying “ do it that way”
I feel like I’m losing my way
**** the standards
**** being understood
If I gotta tuck myself away
What do I have left
A Name , A number
I’m left out like a barcode
Everyday in the system I’m just that a Number
Yet as a Blackman
I walk on eggshells
Man is it gonna be today
Or tomorrow
Some days it feels like I’m on time borrowed
In a way I feel like you supposed
To be quintessential
But I suppose Right now it’s a struggle to be essential

LMK ( Let Me Know)
Dom McDo Sep 2020
What’s up
Lil buttercup
How’ve you been
What you been up to
Never know this how we’d end up
It’s been a minute for me at least
You were my cup of tea
So what’s tea
How you feeling bout me
Since you’ve been without me
This ain’t even about me
I just hope you see I been miss you
Those beautiful brown eyes
Yeah I’m think bout you
Social media tell me lies
Since I’ve been less social with you
Seem like the stars don’t shine without you
Just think back say we were meant to be
Funny how we had it under lock and key
Coupd up in the house on sum locked up ****
Sun don’t hit the same since you went missing
Bottom line “I miss you “
You told me then that communication was the issue
No longer going on bae-cations with you
Absence makes the heart grow
And your absence has only started to make my feelings grow stronger
You told me then that communication was the issue
No longer going on bae-cations with you
Absence makes the heart grow
And your absence has only started to make my feelings grow stronger
We grew further and further apart
I was starting to think you blocked me
Part of what I’m saying is Do you still think about me ?
Like I think about you
I been feeling blue
Since our last link
Think I really caught feelings
Who knew
We all have that someone we miss

My Reflection
Dom McDo Aug 2020
There’s a little boy
He reminds me of the boy in me
Such a happy smile a joy to see
The first boy is my Son
And that boy wants to be like me
He reminds me of myself
Before Soo much pain won my heart over
As I look over I’m reminded of what I want to protect
But I see myself as the future I reject for him
I want him to have a future where he’s happy
Yet now he looks at me
Happy as can be
He wants to be all that is me
All I want is to be the best for them
Especially when I look at him and see the wrong in me
Not too long ago i was just like him
But some things hurt and I couldn’t let go
At this point I know I have to do better
He looks at me and see’s a future a goal
I look at him and see the past a role
I once held
Once again looking in this mirror
The future and past meld

The Abyss
Dom McDo Aug 2020
Let me show you true despair
A candle that’s refuses to lit the air
No light shown on this soul
Whom these depths of the abyss
Have claimed
One whose long lost all meaning of a name
The dark child
Groomed in the shadows of the wild
It’s not my style but I could rip open my chest and show you a dead heart
Yet this corpse still moves by a dead art
If suicide was an art
Then I’m it’s artist
A pen draped in all black
Contrary to what you might think
My dead blood is the ink
As this darkness flood for in me
It’s clear that light in me is gone
I stared long enough and the abyss has claimed me
Hope, love, emotion all gone
This ocean of darkness has claimed me
But I’m the one who maimed me
Here hold this dead heart
It’s cold but is still a heart
And that’s why I can’t hold on to it
At this point I’m just a demon of the abyss
And I embrace its dark kiss
And this is just the beginning
Beginning of the ending
Death is a gift
After all this pain was lifted
I welcome you to Despair
Nihility is what I’m guilty of
Welcome to emptiness
It’s not hard to guess but I could care less
I gave it all away
So In this abyss I shall stay
para la eternidad
para la eternidad
Si para la eternidad
Eternally Done yet undone

Exile
Dom McDo Aug 2020
I’m hurt
You hurt me
I’ve hurt you before too
You were my everything
Yet I felt like nothing
My queen who didn’t acknowledge her king
You wanted to push me
And you pushed me
Pushed me away
I needed an extended stay away
From the pain the hurt the drama
Hearing your name
And Your to blame
I Needed 3 months away
And even then I couldn’t fully get away
Feelings dwelled and subsided
So I dwelled in them for awhile
All the while trying to forget
Forget you
Forget my pain
Forget your name
Soo much so that I treated you like a stranger
And even stranger still
I can’t escape the way you make me feel
This might be too real but here’s the deal
I Love You
I Hate You
I Missed You
I Can’t forget you
But You Hurt Me
All I want is to make it clear
I was hurt so I couldn’t be near
Not near My Love
My Best Friend
My SoulMate
All the Same Person
My Person
Personally My Heart Was Is Broken
And I Hate That your the only one who can Fix It
But Your Hurt Too
My Absence Affected you
While it was unforeseen
It wasn’t done to be Mean or outta spite
Where’s the Abstract
To this Cycle we’ve started
Down the wrong Track

My mind
Dom McDo Aug 2020
Peace of mind
Piece of mine
I can’t even sleep I’m dying
All the things we’ve said in time
Couple words mean nothing
I can’t tell if your lying
Is it all just a bluff then
I’m trying but it’s sad I need to question
Even worse when old feeling erupted
And now my life’s disrupted
All I want is some peace of mind
Can I get some peace of mind
Maybe give you a piece of mine
No cap I got allot on mine
Feels like I’m lost in time
Can I speak my mind
I’m talking can I open up in a deep convo
And maybe Then you can understand Domo
I’m trying but I’m dying for some
Even just a little Peace if mind for Dom
I’m feeling disconnected
Unable to reel in on myself
Like I’m losing my mind
Give me some peace

Naturally U
Dom McDo Aug 2020
Show me you
Oh yes you not the make up
No matter the time it takes up
Baby just wake up
I know a queen when I see one
So stop hiding and be one
behind the make up yeah I know
Take it off let me see your glow
Not to be mean but I see so much beauty
Behind all this faux
Faux lashes
Faux hair
Faux pas
That’s a faux for four 😂
All jokes aside open the door to the true beauty in you and pour out more then
Show me something real no need to force it
Your natural beauty’s real and I endorse it
Let’s make our time feel natural
Seeing your body is one things
But let me see what’s on your mind
Show me why your one of a kind
Let me see you unwind
In time you’ll be mine
Going slow is just fine
But show me the real you
A vibe too real ooh
No pretending
Let it go
Catch these vibes I’m sending
A natural queen in her own right
Babe your the only true queen in sight
A goddess by birthright
Oh that’s right
I forgot the most important part
What’s your name again
Not knowing yours is my only Sin
So where should we begin

A cry on deaf ears
Dom McDo Aug 2020
Hey
HEY

Why can’t you hear me
You act like your not near me
Two feet away

Is swept away
STAY DONT GO !!!!

And your the only thing around
Me

Broken
Dom McDo Aug 2020
Looking in the mirror
I see nothing clearer than a stranger
Looking in this broken mirror
I see my best parts cracked split
I’m this mirror I’m not myself
The person I see is the state of my mental health
I feel broken and this mirror exposés my flaws
Shards of glass showing my facades
Sharp at the end but the point is I’m broken
Last time I remember being myself
I did think about my mental health
Now I see a fractured reflection
No longer projecting a smile
If you could walk in my shoes
You could walk on air
I’m so broken at this point I’m weightless
There it is
Broken
Just like the mirror
Broken but holding my pieces together as best I can
You get the picture
Wish I could be clearer

Posed to be in Love
Dom McDo Aug 2020
*** is this
Listen to this
Met her round the way
Say she wanna play
I Been ******* with her head
She playing in my dreads
Say she gotta man
But that goofy good as dead
She say bae understand I need a real man
We supposed to be in love
And I’m just tryna heal
Mistakes been made that time can’t heal
Showed him soo much love
I just need something real
I told her y’all posed to be in love
Thick and through
One another above everything else
I can’t do this
I’m through with you
Told you no relationships
Not entanglements
Go back to the man you Love
She say bae I Love you
Told her I can’t Love her
She supposed to stay True
Truth be told she got whole man
And I got her whole heart
I’m just tryna play it smart

Mistakes
Dom McDo Aug 2020
Please don’t mistake me for not caring
I care for you
I genuinely do
I’m just naturally nonchalant
For soo long I wanted to be numb
And now look at me dumbfounded
You could say my heart was lost but babe you found it
I hold you close
I just hope it’s right
Not just for the night
But I promise to hold you tight
My face no my demeanor says I don’t care
Truth be told it matters allot rather your there or not
I can say all the right things
Like how you make my heart sing
Or how I wanna get you a diamond ring
But here’s the thing I’m just making the same mistake and that is that I’m nonchalant

Deep convo’s
Dom McDo Aug 2020
Talk is cheap but it’s full filling
Yeah my words be sweet but it’s healing
But late night convo’s give a different feeling
Them heart to hearts
Let me get to know you
At the same time let me show you
Two great minds together
Two birds of a feather
Our words
Sailing on the night winds
Dot dot dot it only begins
Tried and true
This is for you
I’m tryna touch your soul
But ******* you isn’t the goal
I just want you to know I ***** with yah
😂 say my name say it twice
Yeah it sound nice
Third times the charm
But not to alarm you
I’m just a thief in the night
And I’m after your heart
If we’re being honest
I’m just starting to open up
But I’m looking up in that head
Definitely a vibe worth chasing
What more can be said
In these late night convos
Who was your hero
What’s your fears or what do you hold dear
What’s your career choice
Voice your opinion on things
What do you believe
Aug 2020 · 50
Listen
Dom McDo Aug 2020
If I told you once
I told you twice

You said you want me in your life
So go ahead be my wife
I’ve been dead inside
So stand beside me
Revive me
My point is I need you

I Very much need you
Every bit of you
Read it again
I wanna love you
I wanna adore you
Bae I implore you
Open up let me explore you
I wrote this just for you
Much like it I’m just for you

Question
Dom McDo Jun 2020
Are you my enemy?
I thought you were my friend
Did you just pretend ?
Was it just a means to an end ?
Can I trust you ?
Is this the end ?
Maybe it’s just you but I can’t sever that bond
Why am I so fond of you ?
Why did it have to be you ?
As I lament my thoughts on you
I ponder what goes on in your head
So again I ask
Are you my enemy ?
Are you seeking to hinder me ?
I guess it doesn’t matter
Because if in fact you are my foe
It’s only fair that you know
I’ll shatter you
I refuse to relent
I refuse to quit
This path I chose
Are you my enemy ?
Yes or no
Before you answer understand
You won’t be the end of me

Lotus
Dom McDo May 2020
Hey beautiful lotus
Can I focus on you
Zoom in with you
Take in your view
Honestly I’d dim the sky
Just to show you the whole world
At night take the time to treat you right
Delicate flower can I nurture you
Can I be your sunshine
Come grow in this light of mine
You may seem so small
But all I see is a world treasure
And to meet you is my pleasure
DTP yeah that be me
And as you can see I want
To be crystal clear
I can’t imagine a life without you
Its not a how do you do
But you give me butterflies
And in those beautiful eyes of yours
I see the future
I’m lost in your petals
They just draw me in
So again I ask
Can I focus on you
Bask in your glow
And watch you grow
I want to grow with you
Looking over at you I can feel time slow down
Majestic lotus
Just take notice
I wish to find my place in your life
Until the end of time
Infatuated with you
10 out of 10
A real dime
And I’m just showering you with my comments
Hard to believe you grew through cement

Your call has been disconnected
Please try again

It’s like I call your name
And it’s a cry on deaf ears
Hey,
hey,
HEYY
Yelling your name like your in the distance
One day we’ll look back on this instance
Lying to myself like you just can’t hear me
When in reality you can’t stand to be near me
It’s almost as if you fear me
Once again your name I’m calling clearly
It’s spins the same melody in my head
The same sad song
As I lay my head
It all just feels wrong
just how long have you been gone
making phone calls at eleven
And late night prayers to heaven
I’m hearing everything but your voice
Was leaving even your choice
Phone call goes
Ring
Ring
Ring
Your call has been Dis-
I hang up
And like a child I throw the phone
A mirror falls no longer hanging up
It shatters much like myself
Broken glass showing scattered reflections
No longer my former self
Reaching out for myself
It’s clear I’ve Lost touch within my self
I called out
And called out
Until mentally I crawled out
From the shell of my cocoon
Withheld the hell that I’d gone through
Looking up to the Moon
The Shell of my former self
Much like the Moon would be Full
Back to Full Health
Last Call

Hello , it’s me

Hurt
Dom McDo Apr 2020
I can’t let go of my pain
In fact memories flood my brain
This hurt reminds me that things aren’t the same
I never looked at you to blame
But I’m not sure I could look at you the same
Yet for all this pain
How am I too explain
Sometime I feel like I’m going insane
I love you
I hate you
Idk
How could fate be so cruel
Yeah I played the fool
Seem the jester
Could only jest
But I just played the fool
Honestly I wish you stayed
But I wasn’t ready for the card you played
No hard feelings
I’m not even jaded
It’s the way you played it
It was bound to hurt no matter how you played it

Tired
Dom McDo Mar 2020
Look I tried
But when I look at you your pretty
Pretty without the R
Oh aren’t you petty
Back and forth
Round and round
Yet steady going
I’m tired this is getting nowhere
Where are we going
Tired of the blame game
Tired of having my name played
Kinda wish we stayed on better terms
But like a germ this ***** gotta go
And I’m sure by now you know
I’m not the same Domovlo
From a year ago
Just as you let me
Babe I had to let you go
All this toe to toe
Time we won’t get back I know
Looking back though at least I said I’m sorry
But I don’t think it ever occurred
I Worry if a lecture’d help
Welp I’m done
Done being blamed
Done feeling used
Done hearing your name
I’m tired but you can’t see when your at fault
I’m tired of the drama
Tired of saying baby mama
Tired of the BS
tired so I wrote this
Tired so I quote this “ I’m tired of being tired of being tired”
Why can’t we just grow up and fix this
Then again just what is this
I wrote this but what can fix it
Most of all I’m tired of someone telling me how to do my job and they can’t seem to do theirs
Yet we all complain about what’s not fair
It’s not fair that my emotions there
Sometimes I just wish I couldn’t care
Yea all that pains takin it there

What’s Left
Dom McDo Mar 2020
I’m all I got left
Remember how I needed you
And you left
I can’t forget that sight of you
But In spite of you
I was left with me
And in part I blamed me
That pain stained me
In a way it maimed me
Crazy part is I couldn’t blame you
So now I’m here to thank you
You made me dig deep
And find me
Because when I dived deep in the ocean that was us
I drowned
Drowned trying to push you to the surface
A surface I’d never see
Due to bubbles of futility
The same bubbles of resiliency
It’s fair to say that part of me died
And no matter how hard we cried
He ain’t coming back
As a matter of fact
I wish you never lied , I tried , I died

The Cold Embrace
Dom McDo Feb 2020
Where do I start
I Guess I’ve fallen way to far
Last thing I remember is a clock ticking
Heart racing tick-tock
This has been a issue around the clock
Seeking for light but no end in sight
Nothing left but this weak mortals plight
Bouncing back and forth
With no peace of mind
The release I seek is of a different kind
The end is the only thing in sight
Back at a sunken place
But there was always someone to keep me
In place now I sit
Between a rock and a hard place
Yes I'm back at this place
Waiting on deaths sweet embrace
As that ice cold grip hits my face
I'm just asking for that sweet taste of death
There's nothing left don't hesitate
All of this time I've made you wait
Take me now I claim my fate
Tired of suffering who ever wants to wait
As this blade runs crimson
The hand is played then son
Speaking of hands played
mines will be soon
Like a rose in full bloom
My blood fills the room
Heart beats to a stand still
Bringing this chapter to a close
Guess we no know for whom
The clock tolls
I suppose it’s
GAME OVER!

Demonic Child
Dom McDo Feb 2020
When we met you said your fighting demons
But I told you a didn’t see demons
Just an angel who forgot how to fly
You asked Why’d I say that
And I told you no lie
Want to help this angel fly
You smiled
Said I was wild
You claimed you weren’t an angel
Just a demonic Child
I suggested you shift your angle of view
Because I definitely see you in a different hue
You just needed a hug
Drugs, insecurity, depression, abuse ,
All these things over time you beat with my impression
Just I just wanted to be if use
The things that dragged you down
Gave me the strength to flip your frown
And hopefully you found your crown
But I definitely see your halo shining

Who Am I ?
Dom McDo Jan 2020
(Self)
Can I ask you a question
Yes you the man in the Mirror
Who am I ? beyond my present situation
Who am I ? Can you help me see it clearer
I thought to ask the man in the mirror
After all you just sit there
Can you shine some light
Listen to my plight
Without the camera , the poetry , motivation, Who am I
I’m not asking for a standing ovation
I’m asking Am I myself for myself
I’m asking for good connotation
Let alone a conversation
About who I am
Deep down in my soul
And all my life you’ve played your role
A beautiful reflection of me
Now can you reflect onto me

(Reflection)
Reflect on to you
I’ve spent your life collecting on you
Your a creative powerhouse
With a flame that can’t be doused
And a Name All it’s Own
You believe in things being one for all
But frown on all for one
Dom tha Poet is your moniker
And as far as ownership
I’m only a reflection of a great man
Whose yet to come and understand
His own place in this sea of life
But the king of his own space
With a heart set apart
He plays the field like a deck of cards
No matter how you build it
It’s truly your own
A young king ascends the Throne


(Self)
King I’m barely Dom
Um I’m not sure about king
Sure it has a nice ring to it
But here’s the thing

(Reflection)
Ah ah stop my king
Don’t be so modest
Just being honest your a king of oneself

(Self)
Maybe the king of hearts
But that’s still something
I fail to fit the part of.

Closure
Dom McDo Jan 2020
Why you still texting me ?
Lose my number forever an ex I’ll be
When you left you wasn’t worried bout me
But now you wanna ride my face
That place in my life is gone
I don’t even wanna taste
I’m in a new space whoa
Stop texting my phone
Oh you at my door
Talking bout let you in
I played my part
Even when we spilt apart
Ight come in
We can talk
Talk about closure or how bout how you walked out my life
Nah keep your clothes on
But close that door
Much like I did on this chapter
Oh you shaved
Yeah that mean **** to me after the way you behaved
That look in your eye makes me sick
You came here for some ****
Let me make my point quick
I’m done like john wick
Look dont touch me
Remember screaming **** Me
We even lost touch see
But your asking if I’m throwing what we had a way
At the end of the day you did it but aye
If what we had was a coin I’d throw it in a wishing well and wish you well

Love You
Dom McDo Jan 2020
I
I
I
I’m
Ready to
Admit it
We’ve been steady
And even when we fell off
As I bit my tongue my love for you never felt off
I
I
I
I’m ready
But we’re steady
Steady sliding off road
I guess that’s just how life goes
But look it’s the life we chose
You were my beautiful rose
But every rose has its thorns
Even with that crown of Thorns
That you adorn
My heart chose you
As if it was born to do
Part of me was born for you
And that part of me
Will forever love you
Let those flames burn eternal
For my Love is an inferno

Naturally You
Dom McDo Jan 2020
Show me you
Oh yes you not the make up
No matter the time it takes up
Baby just wake up
I know a queen when I see one
So stop hiding and be one
behind the make up yeah I know
Take it off let me see your glow
Not to be mean but I see so much beauty
Behind all this faux
Faux lashes
Faux hair
Faux pas
That’s a faux for four
All jokes aside open the door to the true beauty in you and pour out more then
Show me something real no need to force it
Your natural beauty’s real and I endorse it
Let’s make our time feel natural
Seeing your body is one things
But let me see what’s on your mind
Show me why your one of a kind
Let me see you unwind
In time you’ll be mine
Going slow is just fine
But show me the real you
A vibe too real ooh
No pretending
Let it go
Catch these vibes I’m sending
A natural queen in her own right
Babe your the only true queen in sight
A goddess by birthright
Oh that’s right
I forgot the most important part
What’s your name again
Not knowing yours is my only Sin
So where should we begin

Suicidal Love ❤️
Dom McDo Dec 2019
Drip drop
Drip drop the blood won’t stop
All I hear is the drops
Looking back I ignored the signs
And that knife blurred the lines
Life together was the goal
But you switching up took it’s toll
How many times have we been here
Same number of times that knifes been there
Drip drop
Bloods everywhere all I hear is “hey are you there ?“
Drip drop
Have I finally learned my lesson
Drip drop
How many times have I repeated this lesson
I guess you could say I was addicted
Addicted to the pain
Thoughts of you linger on my brain
The first stab caught me by surprise
I never even saw the knife rise
Drip drop
What’s worse was the look in your eyes
A snake can only hide it’s fangs for so long
The wounds healed before long
And my heart kept running back
And time after time I got a knife  in the back
Sublime feelings of forgiveness
And it took some time to get to this
Red flags shouldn’t be ignored
And you only loved that you were adored
Drip drop  
From my side this blood poured
As I lay here floor
I refused to acknowledge you crossed me
So my life it cost me
Last drops the bloods stopped
Here lies the suicidal lover
Cause of death
Severe loss of blood due to multiple stab wounds
This blade is all that’s left
Holding on to ones pain is suicide Especially if you love it too much to leave it
Dec 2019 · 76
Suicidal Love
Dom McDo Dec 2019
Why haven’t I learn’t my lesson
That your not my blessing
Blowing past the red flags
Now I lie here looking at the red
Drip drop
There goes another drop
I’m bleeding

Tip Toe
Dom McDo Dec 2019
Here we are again
You’ve caught me
After you said never again
I seized your heart ❤️
The same heart she swore he’d never hold again
You asked what makes me think-
Think what ? I asked
-That you can tip toe in and outta my heart
I,,I,,I Don’t know
You began to cry why, why me ?
Why does it feel like your toying with my heart ?
I maybe the king of hearts
But I’d rip mine from my chest just for you
If loving you was a crime
This failure of mine hurt us both
Mesmerizing you with my words
We’d take off again like two birds
But not this time , you’ve caught me
Tip toeing back in to your heart ❤️
I Admit it , I love you 😘
And only you
But my words betray me
As you’ve pulled away from me
I spoke my truth but pain drives you away
Sitting alone in this room
This is just where I belong
In this state of Doom
It dawns on me
I waited to long
But you returned, yawn 🥱 , asking what do we do now
We live ,we thrive, we grow
Babe just don’t go
And I’ll renounce my throne as the king of hearts 💕
I only need yours
And just like that he seized her Heart ❤️
And she arose as his queen of hearts 💕

Life
Dom McDo Dec 2019
My life is not ideal
Yet day in and day out
I can assure you it’s real
There’s no one way about it
I have my ups and downs
No matter how it may feel
I have my smiles and my frowns
Even still I don’t start a perfect day
But in its own way
Today’s a perfect day
I wish I could stay
But that would do no good
Ideal or not I’m not dead so
I’ve got to keep pushing forward
Because there’s said to be beauty in the struggle
Reach out towards a uncertain future
Only thing that is certain is it’s too soon to pull the curtain
If time is a test that too shall pass
Life can continue to test just know I test well
Be it a gamble then I’m all in

Untrusting
Dom McDo Nov 2019
For the longest I gave you
That benefit
Benefit of doubt
No matter what you talked about
And each time I got hurt
Not only by your words
But also the *** of your actions
Never did I stop loving you
Or caring about you
But you never pulled those swords ⚔️ out my back
Daring to go as far as to push those deeper
How long was I supposed to suffer
Going to sleep wondering if I was wrong
Especially after you’d gone
Nobody knows that pain
I was helping you when I couldn’t help myself
And that stained my heart ❤️
Even if my pen writes a thousand words
They will never draw the whole picture
I guess art is pain
My words draw birds on the canvas
Much like this dove on the paper
But get this I’ll always love ❤️ you
But I don’t know if I can ever trust you
Nov 2019 · 57
Just flow
Dom McDo Nov 2019
My heart hurts it burns too
Every time I think of you
I’d say come back home but it hasn’t been home since you left
I still think about you day in and day out
Under the surface my heart cries its eyes out
You’ve been gone for to long
So I’m left listening to your favorite song
With these words flying threw my mind like a flock of birds
Memories glistening ever so vivid
Got me feeling livid
All I can do now is work to get you back
Feels like the odds are stacked against me
But I won’t settle till you here next to me
If be lying it I said I wasn’t lieing here in my feeling because your not around
Yes I know this is doesn’t sound like me

Lips
Dom McDo Nov 2019
Do mine paint a picture
Come on your thinking something
I can tell by how you sit there
Still sitting with a blank stare
You won’t say it but your face
Says it all you wonder will they go there
I say what and you smile then open
Your mouth and ask will they go
There ! Confused I ask where ? You smile
And tell me I got the lips for it, for what ?
To my door you say as you move your hips and open your legs still watching my lips
Nervously I ask what to do you say
Take me there I say how you tell
Me it’s like a tootsie pop lick
Your way to the center as I go you
Moan and scream as you grasp my
Head clinching tighter begging and
Screaming don’t stop as you teach me
How to love your body soon
You start squirming but won’t let go
Then outta nowhere you feel a shake
Just before it finally
Gets there you wake up and see your were daydreaming I still see your lusting for these lips but I think I should leave I go for the door
You say stay the night please
I need to feel them lips I between my hips
Now it four in the morning and your still lying their moaning

Mirror
Dom McDo Nov 2019
Bro I’m tired
Tired of being your punching bag
You verbally berate me
As though you hate me
I see you can’t remember
As I stand before thee
You challenge all that is me
Yet you refuse to see
Are you blinded by hate ,Rage
or do you feel like putting me in a cage
Validates your view
Try something new
Accept that I am you
Just as I accept you are me
Stop looking in the mirror
Pointing out your short comings
Here’s the clearer image
You perfect just the way you are
Keep pushing and you’ll go far
It’ll get better
Because we’re in this together
From you to me

Can’t count
Dom McDo Nov 2019
Don’t count me out
I feed on that doubt
Don’t count me out
You haven’t seen that bout
Don’t count me out
You haven’t seen my new move
Don’t count me out
Let me show what I can do
Don’t count me out
No I’m not through
Let me show you what I’ve been through
All I can do
You can’t count me out
I’m more than you know
Sure it took a while for things to take off but now we’re soaring
I wouldn’t count you out
No matter what I found out
**** the rumors and the doubt
One through a hundred
I’m betting it all on you
The one and only
Don’t count me out
I might have to move different
For us to reach something different
Don’t count me out
Don’t act indifferent
Fact is things are different
We may be down but not out
You can’t count us out
Beaten and broken
With allot of unspoken words
Thinking about it’s got me choked up
Life seems so broken up
We’ve still got fight so don’t count us out
No matter how big or small
We can surpass it all
So Don’t count me out
I feed on that doubt
Setting the stage as I ascend
Climbing to new plateaus
Everything set against me
Can’t stress the history
Success gained under mystery
