Promising Woman

You thought you were spoken for

Yet the words from his lips never uttered your name

You were a promising woman

With a man promising you the world

You failed to see the Universe was inside you

Expectations of the future clouded you from seeing the man behind the

façade

You dreamt of his skin clinging to yours

Feeling your insides

You loosened your tight reputation to let him gain entry to your soul

You are just a number

Waiting your turn to see the man of your dreams

You picked a seat in the crowded office & waited until you heard 23

Your Heart... Is His

You gave him your heart

You might as well give him your lungs, your kidneys, your brain, your body

What on earth do you need those for?

Why did you give him your heart?

Don’t you need that?

If he loved you he wouldn’t of grabbed it out your hand with dirty fingernails

Do you know how it feels to have someones heart beating in your palm? 

He didn’t know what to do with it so he closed his fist & crushed it

Wordsmith

I loved his past soo much
I forgot about our future
I was so wrapped up in his words
I feared his actions
Whatever he told me became the new testament

Would you hold my hand on the hospital bed?

If I made a life altering decision based on the words of man, what kind of woman would I be?

They see a strong woman who can’t be coerced or manipulated. So they fear her, seek to destroy her presence.

The [Law] Of Attraction

He was in love with me
All of me But it was too late when I finally noticed it
In his eyes I could do no wrong
I was perfect
When I cried he didn't see pain, he seen rebirth
He stares at my number in his phone, wondering if he should spark conversation with the woman of his dreams
He wishes he was the one I seen, explored

He had dreams of picnics in July, museums in the nighttime
I would be his brown-skin muse he would draw from
He would watch me eagerly as I undressed in the mirror for him
The sounds of his camera flashed
I danced to the rhythms of his lense
My voice would make goosebumps appear all over his skin
I yearned for him
Hotel rooms would be our escape
New York was the meeting place

Two separate souls united in the midst of distance
I imagined one day exchanging rings
Collecting foreign paintings
With him

In his eyes I could do no wrong

I was perfect

Witch's Brew

"Darker times
They're tellin boulder heavy lies
Looks like all we've got is each other
The truth is obsolete
Remember when all I had was my mother
She didn't compromise
She could recognize, voodoo
Our daughters and our sons
Are just candles in the sun, voodoo
Don't let him see divide, mmmm
Don't you let her see divide
Voodoo

She's got the whole wide world in her Juicy Fruit
He's got the whole wide world in his pants
He wrapped the whole wide world in a wedding band
Then put the whole wide world on her hands
She's got the whole wide world in her hands
He's got the whole wide world in his hands
His hands..."
