He watched me slay in my black-cropped top,
I wasn’t wearing any underwear,
I bended over, getting my glass of beer on the coffee table.
Man, I wish I could re-live that night.

There was no room for me in the couch.
He offered his seat but I sat on his lap,
And buried my face in his neck.
He asked me what’s wrong, his breath smelled like cigarettes.

He walked me to my unit
He grabbed my hand on 23rd street,
Looked me in the eye and told me how
My existence in his life is worth more than anyone.

Sometimes, the sad stuff nestles
And offers a familiar strangle hold
But you offer me a stranger’s hold
And like a snow globe unsettled
The sad stuff scatters
Blood vessels open wide and wild and bold
And we go deeply upside down

All the particulates of our particulars
Dance around in carnal discussions
Of morality and philosophy and borders
Spoken in petite four letter words

and asked me what movie
I was watching.

I was lucky.

That's the most he has
spoken to me in weeks.
Stop telling me I need a savior.
I stopped believing a long time ago.
Stop telling me someone will deliver me,
I been waiting for my hell to end
Stop telling me I am loved
If he did love me, I would not know abuse
Stop telling me that prayer is the answer
I have prayed my life away
Stop telling me this life is planned
why would god plan for me to feel so inhuman?
Stop telling me it is in God's hands
If so, his hands are full of sin
Please, for the love of god
stop
trying to make it okay by using *God
my passion is for you.
It's for everything you are.
Your eyes
your hair
your smile
your personality.
My loyalties remain to you.
I will not let you down.
My queen, worth a thousand moons.
I love to tell you I love you.
It soothes my soul.
See, you aren't like many,
you have morality.
You gave your everything.
it got my love.
I want you by my side forever.
You mean that much.
Without you, my life would be anarchy.
you bring peace and order to my desires,
you keep them in check.
I love you baby,
i hope you know.
I can't live without you.
I can't breathe.
I can't see.
Without you.
My angel from the sky.
Unmatched beauty.
Unmatched personality.
The perfect match.
for me
