A Long Morning

He pulled out He pulled out He pulled out My heart with his hands He pulled out My love strand by strand He pulled out My tears with his tongue He pulled out My smiles one by one He pulled out my hope for love true he pulled out the truth in what men do he pulled out he pulled out he pulled out Preventing seeds from being planted he pulled out and songs of ecstasy, we chanted he pulled out the past, present, and future he pulled out the things we’ll do for love, or love not, or just bein’ hot he pulled out and that unity he forgot and he begot, a new plot, a zealot, for true love, or love not, I don’t know, but he forgot He pulled out Cause of doubt He pulled out Took an easier route He pulled out But he still drowned He pulled out And he remains unfound He pulled out And we remain unbound He pulled out But we’re still on the ground He pulled out He pulled out He pulled out And I floated away Drowned in dismay He pulled out Then he pulled me in He pulled out Tried to shake the djin that made him act in sin He pulled out From the revelation of a realization that temporary elation brings damnation to the thought-to-be love relation, in search of some satiation that went unrecognized, inspired by some ingratiation to quench another’s temptation, ooooooh, this love thing is a complicated occupation Don’t know what you’ve got 'til it gone But who knows where you’ll find it again He pulled out He pulled out He pulled out It shouldn’t hurt so much I wanna forget, He pulled out But thoughts of we still makes me sweat, He pulled out Can’t repeat the defeat that arose when He pulled out Gotta clean up acts and pick up slack cause We can’t go back to plan A When it never existed What’s plan B? Well let’s see I fix me, and you fix you, And maybe we can mix, and Rub sticks and rekindle a flame, So dimmed by demise, I don’t know, still gotta grow, But sometimes that’s how love go, He pulled out I pulled out We pulled out Now what?
