Electricity
You have enough electricity
Inisde you to power
A 4.0 light bulb for 24 hours
So why aren't the firefly embers
In your eyes glowing?
Are you really going to allow
A person to steal your ability
To light up your own life?

Aubree
I came out of the bathroom, fully dressed.
"Good morning baby." I walked over to our bed that Aaliyah was now sitting up in.
"Morning." She mumbled.
I kissed her on her forehead.
"You're leaving?" She asked, throwing the cover off of her body.
The only thing covering her was my t-shirt.
"I gotta make a quick run." I told her.
"I should've known you were going to leave eventually." She mumbled.
I helped her stand on her feet and into the bathroom.
"Aubree." She smacked her lips. "Leave like you planned on doing while I was asleep."
"I just wanna help, baby." I eased her down on the toilet.
Aaliyah has been snapping lately and all I wanna do is help; I've done everything she has asked me to do, I help her, I stay in all night, I've been back and forth from her office to get her things, I've been going nonstop but I do have a business that I have to tend to as well.
"Baby, it's seven in the morning, you usually don't want up until like nine so I thought I could slide out for a bit." I sighed.
"Okay well slide." She finished up on the toilet and washed her hands.
I sighed, not knowing what to do.
"What do you want me to do?" I asked as I turned on her shower water and adjusted it to her liking while she brushed her teeth.
"Leave, like you wanted to." She told me.
I shook my head and walked out without another word.
What the fuck is her problem.
"You're really going to leave?!" She yelled from behind me.
I stopped but never turned around.
"Yeah?" I called over my shoulder.
I decided against waiting for her response and quickly leaving.
I grabbed all my stuff and left out.
I locked the house up and got in my whip.
I pulled onto the road and turned my music on, vibing the whole way to the trap.
