Misplaced Faith

Forever Goodbye

Well the day has finally come its Wedding Day
But not mine you see it’s not even a friend
Well it use to be a friend you see
Close as a matter of fact
So I snapped the paper back to finish reading
But I saw your picture and mind couldn’t help it you see
It instantly flashed back
I can’t believe it’s really been two years
Since I last saw you, the last argument
And
So close to the Wedding Day that’s really what sparked it
Cause even though we parted ways all those years ago
The love never left for me you see
But that’s not relevant at this point
Don’t want to spoil your day
I really just stopped by to wish you well
And
To let you know I will forever carry you in my heart
I’ll kiss you on the forehead and turn and walk away as the
Tear rolls from my eye for I truly know this was that Forever Goodbye

Nights

We’ve had some nights filled with orgasms
That you would swear were earthquakes by the way you shake
Then the aftershocks as we take turns putting each other to sleep
Eventually we both fall deep laying naked and exposed
Your body curved to mine
Attached at the waist line
As I sleep I can smell your hair
Which has me dreaming of the kiss
Which will subsequently spark
Where we left off, back in rhythm
I guess were chasing the sun since we already out ran the moon
While playing in the stars

Misplaced Faith

See you put me in this place, where my mind had the thought of Losing You

That’s something it could not Comprehend, Self-protection kicked in

My Brain told, My Heart, What my Mind could not comprehend

In anticipation of the Blow

My Brain knew, this was a familiar place that I was in

A place that I had been in a time or two maybe even more

Who counts the time someone loses a piece of themselves

Investing it in someone else.

Confide within myself, because no one’s listening but me

“They say time is suppose to Heal Ya, but I ain’t done much Healing” “Hello”

Just a quick reference to let you know the frame of mind you left me in

So I turn within

I have internal work to do, some damage was done

You know it wasn’t in the best condition when I gave it to you

Now some repairs need to b...

I need some distance

 I need some distance

I remember what love felt like, I’m trying to feel it

I really miss it, without it I’m empty

“Hence the Distance between you and me”

My Heart grew cold, one second without you was too long

You knew my heart couldn’t stand the cold

“Hence the Distance between you and me”

Didn’t you feel how fragile it was or did you miss the splintery of that thing

That was connected to my arteries, which is now missing

“Hence the Distance between you and me”

My Heart your Pride, you know my heart didn’t stand a chance

It tried but it has danced its final dance

“ Hence the Distance between you and me”

Sweetest Thing

Sometimes I sit back and listen to Lauryn Hill
And I think about
“How Sad (It’s so sad It’s so so sad) that all things come to an end”
But what vexes me is that it always has to be that” Sweetest Thing”
It’s Perplexing to try and comprehend you see
You say it’s Reciprocity you seek, I have to apologize if I didn’t meet that need
You see I was damaged goods, the isolation, the deprivation,
Which happens to be the opposite of that what you seek
And was what I was facing on a daily bases
I thought we had that conversation, I might be mistaken
But I truly don’t think you really know what you meant to me
Reciprocity wasn’t in my mind set, because to be honest I never felt that
So how could I comprehend it if I couldn’t feel it, you were supposed to be the teacher and I the pupil
I guess we missed that lesson and this will be...
