Envision a life of me
a life of you
Envision what it brings
what it brought
New York City isn’t anything of the past
In fact
it’s needed in order to make things last
I’ve matured
Life has aged me
Aged me into something of a dream
I walk with poise
To kill the noise
Is this what you call
A mid-life crisis
Mom & Dad
don’t look the same
Grandmas gone
Grandpas gone
And all you can remember
Is east orange
side street
The one before parties
Parking spot for one please
I bleed into the darkness
Of the night
Like it’s my last loves
True kiss
I pray, mama
I pray
That I don’t get the courage to leave you
My head flowing with vision
But my heart is a-stop
Mind filled
With landmines
BOOM!
Boom! Bow! Pop!
You’d put anything together to make it fit
Pain in these fingers
Like there’s pain in my heart
I fall apart
Into the arms of another
Betrayal
I am grateful !
I am blessed !
Believe! Believe! Believe!
I stall
Stall love
To keep from fading
Fading into the background
Of my insta story
I read
Read to encourage
Enlightenment:
Reminder
To love thyself…
