The Love Experiement

Moving Day

It was told that it would be a forgetful memory

Yet........

gazing into the mirror

it is still your face I see

Doesn't it bother you?

No, is your response

Your heart and mind has moved on

You still see the distance in my eyes

Yet........

You are positive

Simply stating,

Love; in due time

Tears well up from the deepest part of my spirit

....my body begins to quiver

and you.....

You hold me close

Saying

'If no one else, you will stay true'

My heart is unbelieveing

You understand why, I am not inclined to ride.....

I pack silently

You pace as if wanting to speak

We both have heard the pleas

We both don't want to replay old memories

Yet.........

You begin mumbling

I try not to pay attention

As always your tone....ummmmmmmm

I need you?????????

as I am just your reflection

I continue on....

trying to hum a song

I need not your words

I tell myself it’s pure manipulative

I’m getting better without him

Quickly taking a glance

You now have tears in your eyes

My phone beeps

My friend tells me, “I’m on my way, God is putting me in my place”

Too much at one time.....

I wanna scream

I tell myself to get back to packing

My body is weak

My palms are sweaty

The door swings open bringing in a breeze

Reminding me on what I was doing

Its moving day

I promised myself nothing would stand in my way

....remember yesterday....

....remember last year...

....remember three years ago...

without a place to lay

moving from place to place

the cold showers cause the heat is off

anticipating work just.....to eat

walking 8 miles a day

....in the rain...

...in the cold....

You spoke kind words to me once before

Yet.....

Today.....

Today is moving day!!

“I Find Love Out in these Streets!”

Now this is what you scream

My thoughts change to someone loving me

taking time with me

teaching and talking

learning and walking

A wonderful experience to be involved with.

....This....

This wasn't it!!

You run out of metaphors

As I run outta space in my trunk

I have just found more glass

from you bursting my window

I still wanna cry

remembering the extremes I went to

to hide You and Your issues

Yet Today....

Today is my moving day

Will I stay and lay

Will I stay and eat

The kids would like to stay and sleep

and you....

This is what you want to do

Anything to keep me from my smile

You tell me it ain’t worth while

It angers you

As I state...

YOU ARE THE DEVIL I MUST DESTROY

This aint good for me and my soul

I'D RATHER BE BY MYSELF

not concerned with the mess

I begin praying for a miracle

We've been down this road before

I ask you to please digress

You see the fire in my eyes

You return to the stoop

Saying I'll be coming back to you

I am branded by the wounds you have inflicted

I’m unsure of why I would stay

Why I would come back

Knowing....

The time Wasted

I will never get back

Damn yo shit

Today is my moving day

And I'm loving the fact

I'm leaving you in it......
