They say girls who listen to Jhené Aiko are toxic And girls who listen to Summer Walker are dramatic The ones who listen to SZA are eccentric And the ones who belt out all three are chaotic But why is it that female emotion is a threat? Why does female expression make you upset? Is it because you’re afraid of what’s next? Of a woman realizing that what she feels towards you is regret? Of a woman coming to terms with the hell you tried to make her forget? Of her understanding that you’ll be forever in her debt? As she grieves her heartache away with Jhené, Misses you more with Summer, And realizes her power with SZA, She becomes an improved version of the woman you never deserved

in my spotless mind, i had a blue dream. deep in limbo. somewhere in the ocean.. wading. with my lover. do you remember? no? well, it's cool. with promises of eternal sunshine, we wade a little deeper. he holds me close & whispers in my ear, **"you're so brave."** we wade further until we are completely submerged. floating deeper & deeper, i felt the pressure and grimaced. he mouths to me, *"why aren't you smiling?"* i grasped his hand firmly and pulled him toward me. in his arms, we kicked until we resurfaced. he smiled at me and I smiled back. we kissed; he tasted salty. we swam to shore. we sat on the beach in a tight embrace. he kisses my hair and says, **"I live for your love, die for your love."** I whispered, "and I do you." I look up at him. "pretty bird", he breathes. **and in that moment, I knew that I was souled out for him.** {r.r.r.w}

souled out (ode to Jhené Aiko)
Mesmerizing glory. Snowflakes falling down on us like old memories. One touch, and you're frozen. Not because of the hate, but because of the love. Sadness is intertwined in our fingertips. Three words. Eight letters. I love you. The words will forever hold true but the fear of them keeps them inside of us. I cannot bring myself to understand why people are so afraid to love. Demolishing demons dancing upon bare bodies at night while young women and young men are spending more time on physical interaction than emotional satisfaction. Satisfied with lusting one's surface is something I can't comprehend, I'd rather love your core. My appetite is growing because I'm starving for your soul as if I hadn't had a meal in months.. and to be honest, I haven't. Because no matter how much I eat, I can't seem to get full. And no matter how much I drink, i still thirst for more of your mind, your body, and your soul. I may have lost someone who didn't love me, But you lost someone who truly loved you. I am done searching for the light at the end of the tunnel because I have discovered God in the darkness. I loved you at your darkest. Slowly flicking a switch to find the bulb had blown out, I loved all of you.. and all of you loved it. Reciprocation is all I pray for at night and as day break arose, I found myself loving the darkness once again.
