Killing Me

She hides in fear, 
She is scared of what he might do to her 
So she must be careful 
 how she speaks to him. 
Because she doesn't 
know if he would strike her down. 
He so obsessed over her she have 
 to be cover in full clothes 
no skin can show if 
she shows any skin she get 
 her ass beat. And if 
Any man that looks at her he swear 
She mess with and she wants them, 
she all for him and only loves him but he thinks otherwise just another excuse 
for him to keep downing her and he beating her so bad so no one can recognize her. 
every im sorry she forgive and believes his every word because 
 he know she will stay. 
Time and time again she want to leave but she don't have the strength to leave. 
He makes her feel like no one would ever love her, who would want you. 
That keep running through her mind 
In silence killing her on the inside.   
everyday get worse and worse 
 it gets harder for her to  breathe. 
She want to break free but if she does   
In her mind he told her if you ever leave me i will kill you. 
 She took that chance  running like hell, 
 he was chasing her down with a gun and she dodging every bullet as he shooting towards her. 
 She running and running for her life he screaming  come back here now 
She keeps on running. 
He keep shooting his gun and shot her and she fell to the ground.........

Falling For You

Doing things to past the time. 
 I'm running out of things to get you 
 off my mind. 
 i got is this picture in my phone of you so i hold close to see your face every 
day with you is were i rather be. 
But we are in two different cities and it's so hard you're so far, 
 this long distance is killing me. 
 I wish you were here with me 
 but when we talk on the phone 
you got me smiling so hard the 
vibes we have 
Is so strong and it so unique. 
You treat me like a Queen the 
way i am  suppose to be treat, 
 you respect my mind body, 
 heart and soul. 
 you got me on cloud 9 feeling so 
  high i don't want to come down. 
 you say you love every part of me, 
 you make me laugh, you  got me 
 smiling so 
 hard   every time we talk i get 
 butterflies every time we talk . 
Your words speak volumes king 
 your love goes so deep then i can image . 
I love every part of you 
Your heart mind body and 
soul words can't express this.   
This ain't even all of 
 what i feel about you but 
  you got me falling for you. 
Trying   to  suppress these 
 feelings I have for you. 
I'm trying not to fall so quickly for 
 you but you ain't making it no easier. 
A woman would be a fool not 
to be in love with you, any woman 
will be so blessed to have you 
flawless and all baby you got me 
 falling for you I just 
 can't hold back anymore.

Sacrifice

“I Sacrificed me” 
For your Love but Yet and Still You don’t see me
Going over and beyond What the eyes can really see
“I Sacrificed me”
And yet and still you used me up
Then turn around and confessed your love
Only to use me again Against my heart you sin
But yet again
“I sacrificed me” 
Turning a blind eye to the abuse 
Holding on to the old that was you
Believing that one day you will do the thing you promised me 
But yet you lie 
While I lay here and cry asking myself why
I believe in your lies 
Just to hold on to broken promises Disloyalty and dis Honest 
Lord set my heart free.
Please help me to stop sacrificing me.

Her Inner

As she sit down closing 
 her eyes and holding her head held high to free 
 her mind body and soul but these flames are 
 trying to rise up on the inside of her. 
These inferno words all 
 want to screaming, fighting to break out of 
her inner to make her slip from the cracks trying to pull her open. 
 She told her inner to be 
 silenced and quite her mind 
To clear all of this negative thoughts 
That don't belong here so 
she can deal with her 
 inner peace. 
 so she can be set free 
So she can be a better her to 
Never allow anyone to disrupt her 
 inner, mind ,heart, body and soul 
She can finally breathe 
She is finally ok with being herself 
She can take a deep breath and finally be free.

You Took My Innocence

I can’t talk to anybody I feel like 
nobody truly understands 
I don’t trust anyone so I pick up this notebook 
 And pen you see smiling but if you only knew 
The things I hold inside. 
 creeping in my room 
No one knew how could 
my mother be such a fool while she was off to school 
left me with a man I knew done things to me that I should’ve not know. 
Touching and pleasing himself in his zone 
I couldn’t wait until my mother came home 
When he was do told me if I ever told a soul 
He would take my life crying when he left the room 
Screaming on the inside this isn’t right so confused 
But it never stop over and over again no one knew a thang 
I hate you to the cord of my being, 
Nights I would hide so he couldn’t find me 
I grew up thinking it was my fault for every rape and assault 
This dark memories still haunt me . 
I never look at men the same thinking 
all men will do the same thing you did. 
My trust is all ed up but I knew the only way 
To get over it is to open up and speak out but how 
When I was so young I kept silence for to dame long . 
So tell me what the   do I do ?? when voices  in my head   
Keep saying  you are wasting your time no one  care anyway 
I cant shake  it anymore 
I have believe that my whole dame  life .

My Heart

My heart is under construction 
From all the pain. 
I had to endure the anger 
 and bitterness 
I let build up form the unspoken 
 words that was left unsaid. 
I took so to many punches in 
 silence. 
 i have gave to many 
 chances when they don't even 
 deserve it. 
My heart took to much heartaches 
 and i with held a lot in, its almost 
 empty,  slowly its killing me 
on the inside. 
I put so many walls up so no 
 one could ever get close to my 
heart again. 
My trust has been broken so 
bad so its time. 
So it's time that i let my heart 
be healed and let God do his 
 work in me because no one 
 can do it the way he dose. 
So my heart is being mended 
back together 
So my heart is out of order until 
 further notice.
