Stretching Time

I wish I could stretch time, balance it out, place it back in perfect design, trying to manipulate my rhyme, Letting my creativity flow through my mind, Yet my efforts vanish like smoke and that’s fine, feeling like I’m god’s attempt to achieve perfection, when expectations hides behind my eyes, You don’t see it, I know, I’m just a distraction, and I know my reaction goes unseen, it’s how it always happens, Left on scene, Our connection ends in a fleeting second, Left without a word, a lost attraction, This misconception is my downfall, Wrong direction if you will, Everybody’s fool the first impression others glean, But trust I incorporate my scripts still with ease, Yeah rebeltease that’s me, Still gentle waves of mercy I release into the night, It’s how my sanity speaks, And where I find my peace, Because the thought of me is so brief across your mind, In the shadows not even a secret, How can you be so mean? Thrust into the depths into a darkness to be haunted, Trying to hide from the wraith of your gauntlet, Leaving me trying to redeem myself, How do I escape my life on repeat? Because you leave me incomplete, Awaiting that infinite moment I cross your mind once again, It’s where I begin my end….

Love how you captured the dating life in this generation….perhaps, “shall” we give up?! Or do we continue until we find that One?!! It’s definitely a different world out here. Absolutely loved this!!!

Ahh G thank you of course much appreciated but the answer to that question is …..I believe we don’t give up that is until we have nothing else left to give!:)

No one deserves brutal treatment. True love has no comprehension of bullying. Heartfelt write from a casualty of spiritual and physical warfare, Ms. Chiri? Or a warning for all the lambs being lead to slaughter? ~;o|
