Beyond the surface

Strolling through life with my

Eyelids clinched shut

For my vision failed my heart in the past.

See because my last,

Was a cheap bootleg of a man

For at first glace he looked like the perfection of romance.

His words rolled off tongues between soft lips of lies

That kissed gently the ends of his deceit

Crossing all his t’s and dotting all his i’s.

His actions some how stuck in repeat.

Never show up, wont return calls, and then gift her with affection

Just so her mindset of going into another direction

Won’t reach her feet.

The memo to run away before another night of tearful eyes

That info never reached the logical part of the brain for she

Was too overwhelmed that this one clamed love.

The idea was beyond horizons of pride for swallowing

True beliefs she remained his main

Chick. Fell in love with the idea she was the one he came home with.

When in light she was just his midnight hype.

Somehow wrong felt oh so right.

He knew her love was beyond that wifey type

But he couldn’t stay faithful for more than the nights

He lay in between her vision of everything.

Love notes she read in repeat just to somehow hold onto a boy that

Would never amount to the love from a man.

She tripped and found love again but this time

Her eyes wont be the one to blame

Maybe this time things will have a chance since this one holds

More than the age of an honest man.
