They told me to get over you
I had to fall in love with myself
But how?
Every inch of my
Sun kissed skin
Starry soul
Was touched by perfection
When your lips
Crashed against mine
How can I fall in love with
The me that
You made
I'll cry instead
And die a little inside
Like the way I did
When you first touched me

It's 12 am
I'm curled up in bed
Reminiscing
How you use to hold me
Like the moon held the stars
You'd brush a strand of hair
Off of my face
How the ocean breeze brushed
Sand against my skin
And you'd say
Everything's going to be ok
You'd kiss my neck like the sun
Would stain my ****** skin
In your presence you'd
Take me away
How the waves would
Wash away my worries

To my black brother
We feel your emptiness
We’re all bleeding for you
To my black queens fighting
Continue to stand tall
Hold our black kings tight tonight
We recognize your pain
The sun will continue to set
But keep on marching
Our lost brothers
Won't make it home tonight
So keep on shouting
To my childless mothers
Don't let your blood stained tears
Become the finale of your fight
Remember black is beautiful and
You're the foundation for this
Young generation to create a movement
To my black Kings
Survive.
You are revolutionary
It starts with you, you are now
You are the epitome of change
We recognize you.
Be good
Be great

I belonged to no one. Rode into the sunset with boys whose lips tasted of cigarettes and regret. My mouth was always blood stained red like the sins I was to commit that night. Grey skies and you came around smelling like vanilla, tasting even better. I might've inhaled you as our breathing pattern became one. Slowly then all at once I got lost in you. Wiping my lips clean, cleansing my dark aura on ecstasy with a few more skeletons stilled buried beneath my nails. The moon pulled the tides and I needed you to need me as I collapsed to my knees. Shouting to the God I don't believe in, and I vowed to protect you for there I finally loved you.

If you loved me as hard as you ****** me, maybe we could turn this into something extraordinary. Instead your hands caress my curves as you try to pound the sadness out of me. But here’s the truth, if I loved myself even an ounce more than I hate the person I have become, there’d be no chance in hell that I would be between your sheets wanting to crawl out of my skin. I would be glowing in the arms of someone who holds me like they’d lose a part of themselves if they ever lost me. So here I am fighting back tears as you tell me how good I am. Finally breaking down, “I never meant to make you cry” as you just watch me sob uncontrollably. This is who I’ve become, a reflection of you. Yet your still the only person I have eyes for.

You caressed my body like art
To create this painting of us
On this starry night

With every ****** into my little dipper
You reached my north star
and I came, home

My Cepheus
My man on the moon
The Gods would be proud

— The End —
