Conditionally Yours

Do you feel me
That thing right here
This Pulse
My Flow
 
Wrapped in my embrace
Not in a physical sense
Mine is a celestial caress
Because my love is that intense
 
An outpouring of purity with great depth
To you these words make sense
While others read only nonsense
You’re blessed with a sixth sense
 
Love is the reason
To deny it is treason
Love brings light to the dark
Pumps life to the heart
Love is the protection
The sole cure for this infliction
Called life
 
Cowards who fear love have only objections
As they fear rejection
Superiority and inferiority complexes
Leaves them lacking loves salvation
 
Walk with me in one direction
Accept my token of love abundantly
Reluctantly I must confess
Unconditionally is a lie
You can’t have all of me
If you're not all mine

Facets of Him

His essence like AIR to me 
Was what I thought I needed to breath 
Soon permeated my being 
Infecting me with his toxin 
Crippling my lungs
Long deep breaths 
Became short desperate gasps 
Now I am barely alive 
Choking to survive 
 
His flow like WATER 
Once gentle and inviting so confident was I 
Diving head first
Immersed And then left on my own 
Clawing my way to the surface
Only to be washed away
 And drowned in his current
 
His aura solid like EARTH
So high was I that I was floating away
I welcomed tethering myself to him 
Content in his orbit fancying myself the moon in his sky illuminating darkness with my wonderful light 
Only I didn't realize
That he would show no love
Casting off my glow ....merely... as reflected sun
 
His passion burned like FIRE 
Bringing warmth to my cold desolate existence
Pulling me closer, there was no resistance
Despite his insistence...you will get burned...
I surmised that my love returned would shield my soul
But his passion flared and swallowed me whole

My Journey

Being restless
Made me hard to hold onto
I was born to be loved but not made to stand still
Darkness seeks light despite will 
Constantly calling for the illumination in me
 
But this light; to give, I gotta feed
And you leave me hungry
Don't get it twisted
I'm not so sadistic
To believe that it's all about me
 
Your path crossed mine so it's not over when you leave 
This IS STILL MY journey
Even you
Can't take that from me
Obviously
Because you're gone
And I still got a story to tell
About the one and ONLY time I fell
In what I thought was love
 
I'm screaming for you to let me go
While wishing that you'd hold me close
Let me feel
Like time wasn't wasted
Like the love I was tasting is real 
 
Oh how I digress
Saying I’m worth more
But acting like less  
The high road is all that's left
With what remains of the heart in my chest

F L Y

(First Love Yourself) 

This man loved me for me
With all of my idiosyncrasies
Including the lunacy
Regardless of how I loved he
He was all about me
 
Not the beauty on the outside
Or the way I made HIM feel
He loved me for me 
Just ME
Even my UGLY
Even my BEAST
 
No matter how I screamed or kicked or abused him
He was there
With all of him
What did I do with his undying love and devotion?
I threw it back at him in disgust
How could ALL of HIM leave ME feeling like this?
Unfulfilled, unhappy and unloving to him
Yet he stayed faithful and dedicated to me
 
I BLAMED him for loving me
I hated him for knowing the ugly in me
I HATED him for KNOWING and STILL loving me
I discounted his love as insanity
How could any self-respecting man tolerate all that I give to him?
 
So I shit on him
Crippling his spirit
And breaking his heart
As he screamed in pain
I looked at him
Agony on his face
I laughed at him
I called him weak
Said his love wasn't enough for me
 
Only now I see
It was me
Who didn't love me
