Thank You For Coming

thank you for coming death is unavoidable. before this, it’s life then taxes. however those that can see know death is imminent in relationships. like Pachino’s first win with McConaughey in Two for the Money, her mouthwatering addiction is far worse than her need for male attention. we’ve died, I’ll never have the woman who is proud to be herself instead of the caricature of a colored female. this alone is why she’ll be a slave to her confusion until death. she loves me like she’s loved the rest. she loves me through her continued search of how she could feel about herself if I just gave her what she needed. I am neither her mother nor her father. she seeks what they denied her. she’s never escaped. I’ve heard, to have a female who truly loves you is everything. woman after woman after woman, no one has been proud to be who they are but instead, prouder of who they want to be. their love suffers, her love suffers, my love suffers. suffering is the bloodline of the confused. as they walk in and out of her house, go in and out of her phone and make her feel like she’s one of them, her disgusting flavor and choice to deny me murders her ability to think for herself. death: sentence the color choice and free the lover inside.
