The End
How is it that we love each other
but can't be together
going the same speed
on different streets
Seems like when I wanted you
you weren't ready for me
and when you were ready for me
I had already shut down
found comfort within myself
since you were never around
and now we can't seem to get it together
you and me
which makes me wonder was it really meant to be
When say you love me
and don't show it
never around so how am I
supposed to know it.
somewhere we lost us
but this is nothing new
So i guess I have to...
but can't be together
going the same speed
on different streets
Seems like when I wanted you
you weren't ready for me
and when you were ready for me
I had already shut down
found comfort within myself
since you were never around
and now we can't seem to get it together

which makes me wonder was it really meant to be
When say you love me
and don't show it

8 Lines of Terika
My fear of flying:
getting so high off Love & happiness
then crashing into the ground
So I choose to lose
on purpose.
Self sabotage
at its finest.
These are my confessions.

Bed
I don't want to get out of bed
I rather lay in these memory stained sheets instead
I want to fall deep into my blankets embrace
fear of facing the world outside
I don't want to share my grief
So Im staying in my bed to hide
The sun is not allowed to flow through my window
theres no joy in its rays today
I just wish it would rain
at least it would match my mood in a way
I want the drops to beat against the pane
and the thunder to roar
and if it slowed even a little
Id close my eyes and pray for more
for one day alone
to get lost...

Have you seen me?
I haven't been myself lately
I feel like Ive lost me
stepped out of myself, staring in
screaming at myself to wake up and live
but I'm just existing the best way I know how.
Days of the week have no meaning
Holidays no feeling
They just pass
and I'm fading
Hungry for something I cannot name
steadily breaking down
Where have I gone?
Have you seen me.
If you have shake me hard
slap my face
get through to em any which way you can
Life is passing and I feel dead to the world
Like if I cut popped the veins in my wrist open ...

Hard Love
I am a complicated Melody
with Nothing left but pieces of me
lying scattered on my bedroom floor
Ive taken so much I cant take no more
but Still I Love...Hard.
They say the definition of insanity is
doing the same thing
expecting a different end
Well Im clinically insane
Because one thing remains the same
No matter who to blame
I still love .....Hard.
Hard like a first grader in college math
Hard like mamas babies growin up to fast
hard like he doesnt don't deserve
hard like you wouldn't believe
Hard like I love him...

We didn't make it
Its been said that
Every relationship goes through shit
But real relationships get through shit
So is that the reason why we just didn't make it?
We weren't really there
we really didn't care
we really were at odds
but was that the actual cause
I mean We can blame the military
We can blame the distance
say we just weren't ready
or how you didn't want to give in
Scared of Commitment?
But you gave me a ring
at the end of the day it didn't mean anything
I held you...

WAITING
So I can't wait to meet that guy
You know The one who sweeps me off my feet
The one id do anything for
because I know he'd do anything for me
Id totally be faithful
Id totally be a geek
that sexy nerdy chick
and his personal freak
Id cook a full course meal
slave hours over a hot oven
because my mom told me
cooking is a way to show him I loved him
Id be his ear if he needed me to listen
and Id greet him everyday with a ton of kissin
Id shower him with affection because of who he is ...

She left me
Somebody close to me left.
18 Whole life to live
But she decided to leave.
Her struggles deeper than she showed the world
but Me. I knew
I knew her secret hurt
I knew the scars on her wrists were from past attempts
and not accidents.
I knew and I tried and tried
and Cried and cried
but sometimes I don't think she heard me
maybe thats why she left.
She tried to find love in Sex
& Comfort in Jack...Daniels
tryin to drown out the memories of the pain
struggling to find herself and her place...

What a Man ( For him)
A man's strength is not measured by how much he can bench press or what big muscles he has
But how he has persevered and overcome the struggles of his past
A man's wisdom is not measured by his IQ or how quickly he can divide two into two
But by the lessons life has taught him and how he made it through
A man's power is not measured by his appearance or how badly he can hurt you
A powerful man you follow because when he speaks all you hear is truth
A man's wealth is not measured according to the material treasures he's collected in life
But by his...

My Complicated Melody ( For Elijah)
My joy comes in the form of my son
A tiny extension of me
and i am his mother
I am the keeper of his dreams
Id give him the world
If only it were mine to give
and Id fill it with wonders & knowledge
So that he may prosper and live
He gives me so much love
That I have to bottle and freeze it
and when I look into those pretty brown eyes
I know that he really means it.
He's my complicated melody
My cacophonous harmony
My wild child so
I would never try to sing him on key
and instead of the world,
This...

My Familiar Stranger
I came expecting,
this is what I had been waiting for,
From the moment I met him I just had to have him.
I shook a little with nervousness, he was so new to me, yet the verses he spit as conversation were so familiar and relevant.
Unchanged since the day we met. I was all his.and at this very moment nothing could be so perfect.
His personality was right and i had him in my sights like a wet dream on a warm night.D'Angelo's "Untitled" blasting in my mind drowning any doubt I had about him.
He touched me.
Slow but with a sensual force and made love to my soul....
