Senseless
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

Incriminate
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.

All The Things I've Got
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

To Unbreak a Heart
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

Searching for Harlem
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

Untitled
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

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

Know Nothings
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.

Autobiography
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.

Tales from the Tropics
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

For Nothing
For nothing will my heart stop beating to the sound of your drum
Each thump, each thud, each tiny tap
It calls your name
It whispers to you
It begs for your return

Just when it seems all the calls will go unanswered there you are
Suddenly out of no where
Standing so tall
So handsome and happy
It's time, you say
You say your heart hears mine and in time
It'll answer
It'll marry me
It'll make me a wife
It'll give me a beautiful baby with curly brown hair

They'll call me a fool as I sit and wait
They'll laugh and shake their heads
They'll never break my faith in our fate

For nothing will I stop loving you
For nothing will anyone else ever do
