If I Ain't Got You

•15

I was traveling down the highway
On my way to love
When I was detoured by a sign of passion
There never was
And now I'm taking all necessary chances
In those winding curves
Just risking my lonely heart
Just to fulfill up hers
But my heart kept saying, she's a user
Can't you see through her
My heart kept saying she's a user
Can't you see through her
But how was I to know that
While she was caressing me,
Her love was possessing me
Dangerous, so so so dangerous
She's dangerous

            "Where are you going?" Kyan asked.

           "Why?" I replied.

           "Because I wanna go too," she explained.

            "Your mama said you can't go nowhere with me," I replied.

           "But Khalil is coming over and I don't wanna be here when he gets here," she explained.

           I didn't question her any further because she looked terribly uncomfortable. "I'm going over Layla's. Come on," I told her. We started towards the door and it suddenly opened. In walked King, Lyric, Chance, Pierre, Chaos, and Khalil. Kyan grabbed my hand.

          "You didn't tell me you were having them over. I wouldn't have volunteered to go with you if I knew," Lyric said.

           "Where are y'all going?" King asked.

           "Layla's house," I replied.

           "Where's Kadyn and Kings?" Lyric asked.

            "They were upstairs with Lil King," I shrugged.

           "Y'all ain't gone speak to your uncles?" Chaos asked.

           "I don't see Tymetrick, Tyler, or Tyrone," I shrugged. King suppressed his laughter.

            "Hey Uncles. Bye Uncles," Kyan waved quickly.

             "Dang no hug?" Uncle Chaos asked. She gripped my hand.

            "Can we leave now?" She asked looking up at me with tear glazed eyes.

           "Kyan what's wrong?" Lyric asked.

            "We gotta go. Bye I love y'all," I said quickly kissing Lyric's cheek. Then I pulled Kyan out of the house. She squeezed my hand until we got to my car. Then I opened the door for her.

           She cried the whole way to Layla's house. Her parents still weren't home, so I text her and let her know we were outside and Kyan was crying. Of course Layla played big sister. She comforted Kyan and gave her ice cream. We even convinced her to take her medicine. Now she was asleep in one of the many guestrooms.
