I'm not looking for a prince charming.
But a man who has callused hands,
a gentle heart,
and a forest fire that's raging in his soul?
He, I wouldn't mind standing beside.
Someone to provide for me, guide me, and stand beside me.

Your enticement was impeccable
The charm you brought the table was irresistible
Who wouldn't accept such an intimate offer?
But a hint of poison was laced in your skin
Incognito at first sight
Yet I fell too intensely at your gaze for it to register
It was too late by the time the poison became visible
You became a part of me I couldn't shake off
Your lust will be the death of me
To the girl who brought me in a world I didn't want

I've seen brothers **** one another
for the wrinkled print (Dollar bill) Mama's & Sisters selling their bodies purity corrupted to pay the rent. Potential lost in countless deaths needless to most, makes me ask how can you believe in something more when brothers out here killing for less?? How can society grow if we keep taking a step backwards from our elders and ancestors progression & push to see us thrive to be the best. The cowardly hide behind the barrel as the brave but unaware at times are killed off by the no names, crazy how some people out here live their entire lives just to ****** others in exchange to make a name.(for themselves) sad to see but true... I may not have all the answers but in the end somethings have to change...

You wrote me off,
so I'll write you on.
You see,
when you leave,
you just provide inspiration.
So in the end just who used who?
It's pretty **** simple,
"I used you."
You probably wished
I would sob away life.
But that's so inhumane,
why run,
when I can fly?
You probably thought,
I'd plead you to stay,
but nah..
to be honest,
I'm feeling really okay.
I don't care about
the things you said,
the things you did,
or the things you tried so hard to hide.
In two years or so,
I won't even remember you're name.
"He did that to me? Oh what a shame."
Now for once,
I'll give you what you want,
and this time you can't complain.
I'll write you into this poem,
and soon enough you'll have fame.
Comments? Hearts?
