Reflected smile 2d

I just want to wake up
Make love
Freshen up
Make love again
Eat
Make love again
Play game
Make love again
Sleep
Wake up
Make love again
Make love
And end it with love making

Silas McKenney 2d

I love you still

The tone of your sorrow
I could not shout above.
It was buried…
too deep.
Like tears the soul forgets
to weep.

There was sadness in your eyes,
but only in the shadow you cast
when the light
tried
to love you.

You were the only one
the only one
I ever loved.
But I couldn’t break
the hardness of your heart.

I couldn’t shake
the silence
that stood where tenderness
should start.

Yes
you shared your love with me.
But even love
couldn’t undo the ache.

Some wounds
they’re just
too proud
to break.

John Bartholomew 2d

The Fear

I fear what I might miss
That day
That night
The girl I might have kissed
But a fear I have not encountered should lay easy on my mind
As this is lifes guidance to a time unwanted
A diary page best left unchartered
Words that I now should never have been muttered
An alternative path to where life will guide
As we tip our toes into the changing of the tides.

Life is short.

Please live it.

***

I gave you time,
My energy,
I kept clapping even when the crowd went silent on you ,
I flew through air bridge to and fro like it was my living room,
Waited till 1 am for you, it was risky but for you i said to my self it is worth it,
I lied to everyone because i didn't want anyone to see me like a fool, because i knew i was acting like one by the bro code,. There was nothing i didn't buy that i could afford, shai!!!
So last last na ashawo You da do chinaza?
So na ashawo you be ?
You da do hookup!
****.... I be da take risk for olosho,.

unfinished track

you wre my favorite sound-
all heart,
no rhythm.
a mess of lyrics
i tried too hard to make make sense.

i gave you verses,
melodies stitched from my spine.
sang you through storms,
waited for you
to meet me at the chorus.

but you
kept fading out,
leaving me
with static
and silence.

and now-
you're humming again,
soft,
like maybe you remember the words.
like maybe you finally hear
the song i never stopped playing.

but i don't know
if this is a remix
or a repeat.

because needing you
always felt like singing
into a mic
that wasn't plugged in.

and god,
i don't know if i can
record this pain
again.

This guy has me going crazy and i'm just so scared to get hurt again but I almost think it would be worth it which might make me crazy but life is messy and what have i got to lose?

Love Me Right

Please love me right
with kindness that doesn’t fade,
with hands that don’t hurt,
with a heart that remembers
I am here,
waiting
to be known

All I’ve ever wanted.

ac 2d

half way finished

we’re half way finished
half way there
we’ve almost done it
just two more years

when freshman year started
we couldn’t wait for it to end
but now it’s almost here
i wish we could go back
and do it all again

to fix the mistakes
to say the right things
and to not give my heart
to a boy by who i am hated

i want to be young again
to get back those two years
all i can remember are pain and tears
now we have to plan for the future

we have to plan the rest of our lives
how do you do that?
my life was more together when i was five
i know who i want to be
but i don’t know who i am

i’m only 16
these plans feel to big for me
but we’re half way finished
we’re half way there
we’ve almost done it
just two more years
