Ever Thine, Ever Mine, Ever Ours

I've have never 
experienced that bubbly love 
that everyone apparently has... 
Stolen kisses, 
"say cheese" camera flash,
"no you hang up first" phone 
calls...
"I can't stop thinking about 
you" text messages.

My love has been horrendous 
and terrifying and painful...
I have experienced...
"please stop hurting me"
"I'm sorry, I'll make it better"
"I'll try harder just don't leave"
"please stop insulting me"

So while everyone around me, 
receives their texts, silently I 
wish I were them, 
I cry with invisible tears,
Inaudible Screams 
And fake smiles...in public of 
course

"I don't know how love could do 
this to me" 
Anthem of my pitiful life...
I'm in bewilderment that my 
tear ducts are still fully 
functioning...
More crying to go perhaps?

I was a firm believer in that 
miracle creating love..
Avid dreamer and practitioner 
of that 
"I'll never let go jack" 
"no its not gonna be easy, its 
gonna be really hard, but I 
want you" 
"none shall perish, none shall 
die"
"ever thine,ever mine,ever 
ours"
But as the faiths would have it, 
my love never reciprocated 
these quotations. 

And after all the sleepless 
nights, and..
" Kentrell, don't throw up your 
food"
" To cut or not to cut" -( refrain 
of the century)
"She's not gonna call, give up, 
move on"
I have faced the bitter fact...
That for some cruel, lesson 
seeking reason,
I was destined for this, 
That the one person that I 
loved more than reading,
Would be the one person to 
bless me with such 
unforgettable hurt.

So for now my refrain is "You  
and I once we were lovers" 
bless you Luther Vandross..

Till that almost perfect knight in 
shining armor,
completes my refrain, 
Ever thine, ever mine, ever 
ours..

Paused Love

Doing what you want like u 
some kinda star?

Idk who you think you are!

telling me that I'm not allowed

Does makin me cry make you 
feel proud?

Why you out wit ya girls just 
livin it up 

I'm stuck at home feelin down 
on my luck

Thinking of everything that you 
might be doin

Where the eff you at? who u 
might be screwin?

So I try to call to ease my mind 

But You hit ignore n think it's 
FINE?

I hope u don't think that love is 
a game 

It's a beautiful painting locked 
away in a frame 

something that you probably 
should admire 

But you pull out ya lighter and 
set it on fire 

Making me blaze and burning 
my heart 

Our love is a sweet work of art 

It's 2 hungry dogs fighting for 
the last piece of steak 

Its pain and suffering lets talk 
for gods sake!
