My love is a warrior ready to die for his ancestral land.

My love has hands I will hold even when they’re buried in the sand.

My love is a son sacrificing his youth to provide for his clan.

My love has a smile that quiets the voices occupying my mind.

My love is a heart that yearns to be kind.

My love has saved a heart that was at the end of its lifeline.

And I'll surrender myself to the night,
Once I am no longer in love with the light of day,
My fingers I will wrap around the water,
Till it hugs me tight enough that I no longer gasp for freedom,
For freedom is the gift of parting from the chains on my skin.

My skin itches me to remove all traces of you,
Opened my heart with one eye shut seemed to give me black and blue,
I lie awake at 4 scrapping off where your fingers have once been,
I promise I won't ferment bitterness for I was born with love in my vein.

Crooked lips, dry as your words, bitter as you taste, none of it makes sense but here we are again.
Pop another one and I'm hooked just like last September's night in,
Flush it out, time is ticking, I will cut again as long as you stay in your lane.

Drip it like on to some built surge
Let the urge happen so upfrill
Will frills on the dried up lizard
that you kept upon on the hill

Lite let lick a minute
But bet pressure builds a knot
Know that I can't finish
Means that you can build my plot
