I want a woman
That won’t me
She don’t need me
& I don’t need her
But I want her
We want each
Other
Because
A wise woman
Told me that
To want somebody
That more powerful
Than to need them
So I want to want
Somebody
And I want
That person
To want me

I’m suffering in silence
Because you don’t
Want to be a inconvenience
What about me
I have no medial training
But I got to do open
Heart surgery on myself
So I don’t become bitter
And folk don’t know
That I’m really broken
& hurt
What about me
They ruin my life
And go on as
If nothing has happened
And here I am
Picking up the pieces
And I’m the one
That loves you
What about

I wanna know
are you safe
with love
I wanna know
if I can trust you
with love
I want to know
if I tell you my secrets
will you respect
me in the morning
Don’t use my
Talk against
That will just
Silence me

Lost summers
here as we
both bathe in
sweet sin
Leave it to me,
I’ll give you
Something
To believe in.
Serving ***
With some
Mangos on the side
Personal space
& privacy
No longer
Exists around
Me

Her name
versus
his name
Your name
versus
my name
Your tongue
versus
my lips
Their war
versus
our forbidden
Kiss
Bitter feuds
versus
sweet roses
A new desire
that exposes
Do I risk it
all and
deny my name
Will she do
the same
or is this
all a game

I carry
that kind of love
in my heart
that you will
never find
see some people
scared of they demons
I make friends
with mine
I might of bend
the truth
but I never lied
I need something
to feel alive when
I’m dead
inside all
my personal issues
I’m learning
to set aside
cause I planted
the seed and
people came
with pesticides
give y’all my
testimony
but never
will I testify

I had my heart
wide-open
once before
but not anymore
the person
I left it open
too shattered
it to the core
left pieces
of it all over the floor
someone
I trusted
completely
with it
who I truly
adored
treated it like
it was worthless
feels like
their intentions
was to
break it on
purpose
