Here. Ravished, Devoured after our love making. Here, Where limbs seek one another. Where everyday is joy. Is where I wanted to stay with you. [where’d you go]
Movement
When I’m stagnant, Stuck, Held in one place, Forced to be still; It makes me want to crawl out my skin. Unmoving isn’t who I am. [movement]
don’t let me.
Don’t let me show ugliness
I’m not broken.
I’ve fertilized the soil
For my soul
I’m not trying to go back,
Don’t let me show ugliness.
They said it’s time
To grow up,
That cruelty has no place
Where love chooses to exist.
I wanna see them like you see me
But unblind to the reality of the life we’re living.
I can’t front to be
That naive girl
Back in ‘03
New me just wont stand for it.
This is what knowledge does,
Lift the veil,
Bringing sight to the blind,
Can’t keep moving the same way
I’m used to
less I wanna relapse
Like a a bad habit.
I used to want to erase memories
I thought were killing me
But I’ve learned how to smile through the pain.
I learned how to remember for strength,
Cuz sometimes we need a reminder of how far we’ve come.
To remember
How so unlike ourselves we’ve become.
Becoming.
Don’t let me show ugliness.
Higher.
You had nirvana.
Traded down for those
Everyday rentals,
everybody been in and out of there.
Ain’t you get the memo?
New girl is old girl
Boo don’t be mad. Nah.
Hold on to them receipts,
Box it up real pretty,
Hit’em come first of the month,
Repetitions will have a nigga flat broke
But fuck it.
Let’em learn; think twice
Before he start trippin
Fuckin up this fluid two step
Ya got goin on.
End Quote.
Silence was the past time
Until her hips sung across
Wooden floorboards;
She’s got me spinning in circles.
I yearned for night
And she brought with her the day;
Fire, unflinching,
Even as my waves
Touch the tips of her flame.
