I Am You

I am you

What use to be love is now full of hate,
I guess that's what you wanted 
simply couldn't leave it up to fate. 
Being loved by someone for no reason 
but there were plenty of reasons
The fact that you were breathing was enough 
to believe in.
Your selfish ways and belief that no one loves forever 
has led me to play the role and shut down all together
I loved you for who you were but you pushed me away 
by your arrogant ways and the games you play
what once was love admiration and respect 
has turned my heart cold and full of neglect
hate disgust and despise your continuous
lack of regards has got me on guard
I can't even say I feel pain for hating you
because you sucked what was left in me anyway
No man will have my trust or loyalty there's nothing left to say
nothing else to do in the end I've become you.

Reflection

Looking into the mirror what do I see 
a strong black woman standing before herself with no insecurities with
no sorrow a voice that dominates a room a woman who needs no one to tell her how important
she is?
no that is not the woman I see standing before me I see a soulless little girl trapped  in
a grown 
woman body with insecurities that no one understands I see a woman who is in desperate
need to find
searching time after time. A sad little girl who yearns to be held who desires to be the
picture perfect
woman that can stand on my own a spineless woman who rather have people in my life who
uses and abuses 
me then face the world alone I see a butterfly trapped in a cocoon with no way out a smile
that has no 
meaning a voice that can't be heard too scared to look people in the eye threaten by
others afraid to
think afraid to speak I see a woman who has no beliefs no faith a woman who dwells on what
others opinion
and let them define the woman they will appreciate A woman who feels nothing that I do is
ever good enough 
for me and focus on the good. What good? When I'm doing things that shouldn't be done. A
self hatred is what 
I see a woman begging fighting crying to be set free

Addiction

I need a friend to talk me down, down from this natural high called love
is it love or is it lust I don't what it is but detox is a must
your touch runs through my veins so much it drives me insane
you are my choice of drug, no heroin no coke not even a smoke 
will take me to ecstasy I know your not blind you damn well can see
how much I crave you, taste you the very thought of you makes me loose all of my reasoning
Mr. are you listening?
are you so caught up in you that the mere thought of someone loving you is nothing but a game 
or am I to blame for wanting someone more then they want me?
Maybe one day I will see that this drug  is not hurting no one else but me.

Internal Flame

Internal flame intensifies as you slowly kiss my neck down to my thighs
not missing an inch your touch sends shivers up and down my spine
desire pulsating through my loins as my heart races and my mind screams don't stop keep going
you slowly rise while looking deep into my eyes you'll see that your the only man who
satisfies me
enter me while teasing me just to ease you right in that how our loving will slowly begin
our bodies joined as one touching my soul I'm losing control
you know my body so well I feel like I'm under a spell
your name I can easily say because your the only man that can make me feel this way
feel me tighten I know your enlighten by the way my body reacts to your touch your whispers 
and commands your loving is always wanted and in demand
sending me deep into ecstasy this internal flame is taking over me 
take your time no need to rush my body melts with the very touch
climaxing together binds us forever as you steal my heart with a gentle kiss
whispering I'm yours nothing can top this 
after tonight I will never be the same
internally yours is my internal flame
