Imagine the day
Without the lightYour head tilted to the sky
& my lips pressed against yours
As I hold onto you tightI'd like to call that
A piece of my heaven
My worlds constantly changing
Colliding
But my heads tight on my shoulders
Something that sounds so rightI close my eyes envisioning you
In the night
Skin glowing something slightIf only we can be strangers again
If only I can kiss your lips
& hold your handA wish
That lingers
Hidden in the back right hand corner
Of my mindA thought
Turned into a dream
Which will be my reality
I pray for a lifetimeYour the air that fills my lungs
The skip in my hop
The hop in my jump
& the jump in my slow strideNo ones broken down my walls
Opened my eyes
And breathed this airThis air that feels like light
She says her beauties are dead
But nothings really dead
Especially if you look at it just rightSee I'm scared because
I don't feel as if I'm the marrying type
I break hearts
Hurt feelings
& kill kids dreams in the lightSee I'm afraid
That once I do commit
I'll lose the feeling
Hold a grudge
And build bricks to the skyI've lived with locks
Around my heart for years
Scabs that started to heal
Ripped from my flesh
Left me bleeding
In need of some act rightWhat am I to do
I can't predict the future
If I could
I would've dodge all the
Fuck boys
And bitchesI would've switched up
& waited for the right oneThe sky's too blue
Don't get me wrong
I know you're hurting tooI see the pain in your eyes
When you smile
The hatred in your heart
When you cryI know you're dying inside
I'm here to help find your light
Friends or loversA label put on something
To define what's clearly
Gray
Because it's neither black nor whiteIt matters when your heads dragging
Or when it's held up high
Please baby don't cryShe needs you
Like we need the sun to rise
So we know that's it's daytime
He needs me like
I need JesusI'm dying
Can't you see
My pigmentation lighteningI drop to my knees
Energy seeping through my pores
Like sweat in the summerShe's dripping wet
But her heart won't let her succumb
To her needsShe's clenching her legs
As you lick your lips
& speak her nameI want her to have that
I'm sophisticated,
Street smart,
Spiritual,
Soulful,
Savage thingThat makes you stop & stare
That I'm a queen
Mind over matter
Patience
Young one...PATIENCE
Step back & restart
Not a damn thing in life comes easy
