When it comes to love...
One day we are running away from it
The next day we are running to it

Sometimes it kills us
Other times it heals us

But no matter where we go
love will always find us

She picked wars with words
He fired back with silence
Both injured from the battle
They crawled back into a bed full of ice
Hearts cut in slices
Emotions blown to pieces
Bodies cold and numb

Minds so restless
Loving became pointless
As they worshiped silence
Obeying it as it created more space

Black in America
Constantly working on proving their worth
But denied rights based on skin shade
Faced 400 years of slavery
Add 400 hundred more years

Black in America
demoralized belittled
Looked at as difficult riddles
brutally murdered by law enforcement Chocked, shot, slammed, denied access to minimum wages
Locked and preserved in cages
Given life terms and long sentences
Without ever writing a paragraph
Forced to live in ghettos
cold street raise cold killers
Institutionalized drug dealers  

Black in America
Living life to prove that their lives matter
Sad to see a people surfer just to prove their worth
Living in a cold earth
Numbing to human emotions
Black in America is scarier
than the war on terror
Reality is equality is just an illusion
Fighting for peace with no solution

Dear love  
Pray for this love of ours to grow
When it comes to you
I want nothing more than all of you
I want your love
I want your passion
I want your desire
I want your secrets and confessions
I want your ice and I want your fire
I want your tears and your fears
I want your scars and your perfection

I will love your imperfections
as if they were my own
I will love and cherish them  
I will love your insecurities
because you appointed me
as the head of your hearts security
to protect and honor with loyalty

Late at night when my eyes can’t close
I lay awake thinking of you
Wondering if you are awake too
The price I would pay to see you
Is beyond limitless
Time is supposed to be the healer to old wounds
but this one is Permanent
It even has a dent in it

This one is deep
You left me with a hole in my chest
Now I stare at an empty soul
Looking at these empty walls
Flirting with empty thoughts
While memories creep into my mind
Just to stop and remind me
That my heart is now empty
and drowns in flaws

Wind blows deep
Giving heart beats

Twisted leafs fall
Onto Cold grounds

Love whispered in insecure ears
Quickly turns into fear
Flowing deep enough to awaken heavy tears
Drowning in pain she floats her emotions to a loveless soul
Seeking skies but sleeping on empty floors
Staring at the mirror
Reflecting on the fact that she is insecure
Secured by depression and anxiety
Which comfort her with worrying
She sees no tomorrow
as she is comforted by sorrow

I needed yesterday
Just so I can appreciate today
And if tomorrow comes let it know that I will cherish it until it becomes yesterday
But for now let me live for today
Because yesterday’s dreams
was for me to see a day like today
