Koffee
Koffee
By Shericka Murphy
He be the Kream to my Koffee
My Butter Kream Toffee
And when he takes his hands off me...
I can't breathe as clear
And I think I can't even hear
And from my right eye falls a tear
Put your hands back on me I say
And don't let me go for as long as we lay
Cruise me and Bruise me, it's all okay
I aint in pain but I may be hurt
I wipe my tears and blood on your shirt
And we lay our bodies in the dirt
And I fall asleep with your kiss on my cheek
I close my eyes and I hear you speak
And we lay out there for almost a week
Not even this could tear us apart
Not even this could break up our heart
This isn't where we end, This is where we start
You whispered all of that into my ear
You also whispered that I should have no fear
I love it when your love is near
Is what I whispered back to you
I also whispered that I love everything you do
It was the woods, the car, and just us two
As we lay lost in this place so cold
Tight to my body is what you hold
Love is beautiful is what I was told
And God knows it was'nt no lie
You make me so happy that I start to cry
You know why---
Glass shattered everywhere and peirced my skin
But It could never reach what I carry within
And I can't even explain the feeling I felt when...
I saw the lights flashing from afar
I looked at you sleeping, and then I looked at the car
I looked back at you and I feel just how still you are
The lights got closer and a voice called out
I screamed and yelled, but you didn't even shout
I shut my mouth and I began to pout
You were so quiet that I began to smile
I realized I had not felt your heartbeat for a pretty good while
And if you leave me like this I don't even know if I'll....
Ever love again
Not another man
I don't think I can
No I don't think I can..
Ever love again
Not another man
Because he be the only Kream to my Koffee
My Butter Kream Toffee.
And when they took his hands off me...
The breath had left me....Softly...
