I seek shelter in your shade.
Offering genuflect until the end of days.

You don’t want to exist here.
Constantly singing the song of sacrifice,
It fell on deaf ears for 21 years.
Spent that time with the desire to be heard.
You planted roots within women who pulled you from enrichment once you bloomed.
Gave your wisdom to friends who folded into foe and watched as they attempted to fill the minds around them with riddles.
This place will ferment you,
Your words
Your skin
Your ways.

They wanted you to stop loving them.
They wanted you to recognize
the lack of affection.
They told you time and time again that
the love wasn’t there.
You spent all your mind trying to ignore it.
In the end you stopped caring about everything.
Now you’re unbothered by it all.

You wish you were home

floating in the sea

shaded by the most beautiful trees

perfect sunsets would

set your soul free

500 days of loving every single piece of you.

500 days of constantly feeling like I miss you.

500 days of desire and heartache.

500 days of not regretting it for one second.

500 days of not wanting to let go of it.

500 days of maintaining.

500 beautiful days of you.

You need mountain tops
and the warm Red Sea
nothing with me.
I need you
I would follow you to
anywhere you want to be.

You miss the smell
you miss the rain
you miss all the faces
knowing you would void their pain

Injustice can only prosper for so long.
