Once upon a time I believed In a girl who had the allure That was unattainable
Her form was pristine Her back was a stick Her eyes were like diamonds Too pricey to trick
But the world crashed upon Her, a collar was strapped To the ways of this planet Without even a glance back
Parents... a lie Friends... a myth Her secrets have closen Her deep from within
No guy perhaps could save her still there was nothing keeping her here Her ways, her sway, her swagger walk Took step by step until she stopped
At her own level of gaze and stayed Watching and waiting for him to go away He left, her alone, she eyed him still For what can he do, is he in God’s will?
I am like a salt, I preserve and do not rot those around me Within I bless them with a friendship that which they feel like they win I go higher above the drop and discard I stay, I pray, I work hard For the heart and spirit and feeling within To fight for a person, so I feel I win
When you're moving faster than you said you should, then you’re recreating your own show
If the time comes when you choose between too quick or too slow What is the overall goal?
I want what I know could be what someone else needs I hate to tease when I’m the one bringing them to their knees
It’s strange to feel want and need when there is a small line in-between For those you get involved, it’s your fault if they bleed...
Live in the moment is my course of mind My intentions are only to care and preserve Those who I find precious, those who I choose to hold
What we have can mold into something greater if we stick to... The agreement of feelings neither of us agreed to...
I get the butterflies, the dream is sweet But for it all to work out, then what we feel must be complete, The duet will keep us on our feet The friendship will last through this heat
If it happens for a reason. Every season in its season. But when your life is just beginning some parts of you are missing Redeeming. Revisiting...the past's do’s and dont’s How can a best friend be proud of me if God doesn't come first? Can something be personal without it be taken personally? May the Holy Spirit come over me
I leave the spaces between us As a moment of surrender So that you can feel free As I wait and ponder When you will miss me Time stretches a little longer Which just makes me think I’m never there cause you want her
So that’s how it is We are going back in our ways Of how we once were Before those good old days
It’s what you wanted What I wanted to prevent To move past what had happened As if it was unprecedented
Life's greatest heartache Is not what you expected
It's not the shame of loving one Who didn't quite get it
It’s there, it's not, it's in the in between But what you got and what you want Are completely different things
I want to not..I want to grow I want I want I want
To be the person who never falls When pushed off the top
It's okay now Don't be angry Let what's been done be done
We’ve made amends We can still be friends
Within the ticking clock
My first poem I wrote! Not my best but hopefully if you follow along you can see how much I've grown as I share my art with you all. Thanks for reading
