food 4 thought
He gave me so much food for thought
My mind became obese
Sent me vowels to the rhythm of every syllable
And made conversations a feast
but when he left my mind became bulimic
Depression kicked in and memories started to vomit
Like Kanye, I FedExed my love,
but he didn't sign for it
guard down
Reveal lips thick enough to convey
the weight of your own words
lace together syllables
sweet enough to lick your lips
and bring me to my knees
or speak your deepest thoughts
to put your mind at ease
I melt at your feet
from the sound of your voice
Just to help mold me to be a better me
so if you had the choice, and
more importantly,
had a mind that could bear the weight of mine
equipped with a shoulder to lean on
when I need some of your time
my knight in shining armor
you're made of mistakes and redemption
that alone appeals to my soul
be the receiver of my affection
could I let my guard down?
the second coming
I look at you and see pieces of the men before you
Men who I could've been with--
Maybe even should've given a chance to
and who I would've given the opportunity to
had I not been so faithful to a boy
who played me
You are the second coming
in a
single human being
worth it
Allow me to undress and
you could examine me bare
but there’s only so much
the surface can share
Delve into my mind, body, and soul
get to know my truest form
Caress every pore on my body and
Decode these goosebumps
Curated as I collect memories of your touches
You write paragraphs down my spine
words you fear to speak
Because your love is blind
and maybe it’s me that you seek
These feelings I have for you
I battle with my heart and mind
Never coming to an agreement
I merely yearn for your consent
to share with me the broken pieces of you
I show you relentlessly
how I could be the one
but you shut me out before we’ve begun
It’s like reading the synopsis of my new favorite book
without being able to open the first page
Built your walls so high
Yet you’re still worth a try
I have no intentions to be reckless
Just lead me to your door
Allow me to unlock you
Let me help tear down old walls
to make room for something more
