To love is to lose
To lose is to love
Tuffy Mutombo Feb 2018
Who knew love came by someone tapping your picture twice,
on a small screen
While scrolling down a wall full of other pictures

Look at all these likes and comments
So many compliments

30 likes makes you mediocre
2,000+ likes makes you a star
Instant gratification
Instant modeling
Instant attention
Instant satisfaction
But you end up with an ego full of empty compliments

I’m in between too young to die and too old to live
So I’m just living
Too wild to tame, too tame to be wild
Stuck in between
Stuck in this illusion called life
So I’m just living
If you find my purpose please tell It I’ve been looking for it all of my life
Until then I’ll just keep living

The greatest thing I have ever fixed
Was my mind on never letting you go
I subbed out my ego,
and evicted pride out of my heart,
just to make room for you and you alone

Now here is my heart
please handle with caution

I just dropped the “O” in good and it became God
Because God is Good
Treasure his life
to him nothing is impossible
Even impossible knows that all things are possible, through him, hope and faith are available
Christian sinners kneel to beg for appeals
Second, third, thirty third chances  
Trying to make advances
Their Criptonoight is lust, fear, fidelity, lying, cheating and stealing
Just name a few, not to mention all the deadly sins
Chasing dreams which are inspired by demons
Blinding them while stealing their visions
His mercy is forever, so they sin
thinking salvation is insurance
But for every road they has to be a toll paid
Trials and tribulations
are tests which many failed  
But By grace we have all been saved
Since grace is Gods mercy

Shouldn’t we all open our eyes and see
That without the God we will never be good?

It took 5 heart breaks, 178 lonely nights,
late night fights
a river full of tears
for her to realize she was a hopeless romantic
She tried to hold on to men who were emotionally unavailable
but physically attentive
She believed in love
But love seemed to always elude her
Leaving her picking on her old scars
She hid behind this massive wall of pain
Secured by her insecurity, others tried to get over it, while she kept on building it
No one could get over it
As they told her to “just get over it”
Never tending to her scars
But sharping their tongues to dig deeper into
her scars
Until she became scared of being loved
Not knowing what longevity was
so she settled to fantasy
Chasing love
which always turned out to be an illusory

17 dead, school colored red
President parades hateful speeches
Gun control he says
Crowd yells impeachment
Mass murders roam school halls
Teachers lock shut doors
Please don’t shoot one yells
As the bullet penetrates her skull  
Bullied he yells
Mask on his face hiding his guilty conscious
Gun shot after gun shot
Bodies drop like dead birds flying in polluted air
Mothers outside cry tears
Afraid standing waiting for their child to run into their empty hands, comforted by emptiness
Clinching fists while raging in fear
Gun shot after gun shot
Cops come to the scene cause a scene
Victims rushed to empty hospital beds  
Now covered red
Mothers and fathers hold hands as they prayed
Faith becomes relevant when pain becomes evident
Gun shot after gun shot
