If you swallowed your pride and really thought about it
You would recognize that when I say I love you
It is not an empty promise that is meant to make you feel comfortable for this moment in time
Nor is it an empty stanza meant to get into your pants
I’ve been there and enjoyed it…so I don’t need to put down a deposit
see
This love has no obligation
I am here because I want to be
Not because you seduced me
got lucky
could buy me
See what I’m trying to say is---
if you really thought about all the time etc. etc. we have invested
And divided that by our ages and life experiences and the fact that I have seen some things and you have seen some things
You wouldn’t question
The blessing
that
You prayed for
And I prayed for
Asking God to answer your prayers
when what you prayed for is standing in front of your face
Can't you see?
Do you believe?
Not trying to be conceited or full of myself
But the truth of the matter is
My love goes deep
And yes a lot of people want to get to know me
Get close to me
Roam with me…
But I don’t see them
I only see you
See if only you knew
Stopped being so consumed with faceless demons
That
Deceived
Lied
Hurt
Betrayed
Cheated
Defeated
Polluted
Abused you
Left you with cuts, scrapes and bruises
Damaged you roots and prevented your branches from touching the sky
From being purified by the sun
Cause parts of you to grow unevenly
Wilting in the shade
Molds of Apprehension
Not to mention
Tension filled conversations
Where you ask me
Do you love me?
Which really mean “When ARE you gonna leave me?”
Which eventually translates into your own feelings of doubt that I am who I claim to be
your ability to fly
you remain caged in
Planning futures
where our present remains scattered
Shattered by everything and everyone before you met me
Sirens on rocks who lured you with songs of forever
And as your ship headed to the shore
It hit rocks
Superficial catastrophes
And something inside of you is broke
Damaged the lil brown girl inside of you
Took all her hope that things might be different
Could be different
That you could be healed
Be fed
Be nourished
Be nurtured
Be healed
Be loved
Provided for
Unconditionally
Honestly
The way your mama loved you when she held you in her arms
After you gasped for your first breath of life
The way you loved me the first time we made love
I entered you
You entered me
and you knew
