An Ode to My First Love
I can't stop thinking about her I
See her in my dreams and
Lately every night she's been
Waking me out of my sleep
Begging baby please
Just one kiss, just one touch
But I know it's a trap cause
One is never enough
But I fall into the trap anyway
The two of us imprisoned in sheets
Every time our souls meet
Potential turns into kinetic energy
And we battle each other
Cause we just have to compete
But I never win so
I've gotten used to defeat
And we argue like we can't stand each other
Two forces opposing
But she never stays mad for long cause
I am the one she's chosen
And sometimes I neglect her
Cause I don't want her to see
My jealousy...insecurity
Vulnerability
But somehow she sees it anyway
Even though I wear my defenses like clothes
She has X ray vision so
To her I'm aways exposed
And if I don't drop my guard
She'll tear that shit down
She said “Get used to being completely naked
Whenever I'm around”
She wants me to be a nudist so
Eventually I give in
We make love then make war then
Do it all over again
And her love is perfect
There's no reason for me to cheat
Cause no one does me like she does
Always leaving me with soaked sheets
Always leaving me satisfied
While simultaneously wanting more
And she willingly grants my wishes
Always having something new in store
Willing to try new positions
If that's what I ask her for
And regardless of my intentions
She never walks out that door
Sometimes I use her. And she knows it
But she still sticks around
Don't deserve her. So I serve her
And I worship her ground
And she damn sure ain't perfect
But she's just right for me
She's my first true love
And her name is Poetry.

Honey Bee
I thought you were a honey bee and I
Wanted to be wherever the honey be cause
Honey is sweet but its good for you too...
As were you.
Well, that's what I thought but
I believed and was deceived by the buzz...
You made me buzz.
Chemistry so kinetic that it resonated through me like vibrations
You buzzed and I came.
Addicted to your hypnotic sound
I clung to you.
Cause you were sweet like honey and just as sticky
I was stuck and
Couldn't let go without your residue being left on my fingers...
Honey Bee
Using me like a hive
Filling me with nectar and storing your secrets in me
Making me feel like home...
Your praise made me bloom like honeysuckle and I
Left pollen on everything I touched
Telling the world of your sweetness...
Honey bee
Treating me like a queen bee...
But that was then and now
You just sting
I can taste the memories of us.
I savor the ones that are sweet and
Spit out the sour ones and
That is what you get.
Words from me that are hard for you to swallow cause
They no longer taste good...
But they're real
And now you're bitter.
The honey that used to drip from your lips is gone
I realized that honey was really aspartame
Way too sweet to be real and you left behind an unpleasant aftertaste
Now when you speak you spout vinegar.
My mind puckers up at the sound of your voice
Everyone knows that honey is the way to keep fly girls like me but
You can't possibly be the bee you used to be so...
Honey bee gone.
You stung me and it hurt but
I didn't bleed
What We've Been Reduced To
So this is what we've been reduced to.
No talking
No smiling
No fucking
No reconciling
I remember when we used to talk all the time
Your words my sustenance
The way you manipulated vowels and consonants made no sense
Your tongue wrapped around each letter and I would follow suit
I wrapped around you
And we talked.
For hours on end
The time that existed between conversations was irrelevant
All that mattered was your words
My words
Our words
Our world...
Came crashing down
And this is what we've been reduced to
No talking
No smiling
No fucking
No reconciling
I remember when we used to smile all the time
As constant as the rising and setting of the sun
Grins spread across our faces like jam on toast
Making life sweet
Your smile, illuminating, has a domino effect
Causing my mouth to follow suit and smile
But now teeth remain imprisoned behind cold lips
This is what we've been reduced to
No talking
No smiling
No fucking
No reconciling
I remember when we used to fuck all the time
Couldn't keep our hands.lips.mouths.bodies off each other
I mean to the point where our skin touched so much that our
complexions mixed and we became the same color
But bodies in heat are no longer intertwined between sheets It's like
the fire that used to provide warmth just burns now
And this is what we've been reduced to
No talking
No smiling
No fucking
No reconciling
I remember when we used to talk and make up
Smile and make up
Fuck up and make up
But now apologies are few and far between
Neither of us want to admit we're wrong
And neither of us want to admit that something ain't right so...
This is what we've been reduced to.
