Heavy from alcohol

she sniffles and dries her cries, doing her best to contain what's within.
But I see it...I ask what it is?
to which she replies...."nothing." in a hushed tone.
To myself I think "WOMAN IT'S SOMETHING!" Also I'm standing right here so please there's no need or reason to feel alone.
It's something to me because I see it. I want you to release it, Speak on it, FUCKING LET ME IN!

Inner Thoughts
In this life unsure
of my future,
living with ghosts
of a past
I no longer wish to see.
Thoughts and visions
of things and people
that don't matter,
I felt held back
by distant memories.
I struggled against
the grain at
just the times
I shouldn't have
it seems.
Misery and pain
were my constant
companions,
during waking moments,
nightmares and daydreams.
That world just isn't
for me anymore,
I have no desire
to relive that story.
I'm ready for normal
and I want it with...

My name is Clyde
Hi, hello how you doing?
My name is Clyde and
I'm always down to ride.
Fuck the no good bitches,
I need a real Bonnie by my side.
Not a fake bitch, looking to get rich quick,
if not then dips. Not a weak bitch, that can
only handle the ups without
the downs then flips the fuckin script.
I mean a real woman, who when
she's claimed, has no time for another man.
One that knows another
just can't do it like her man can.
Make her feel the way he do,
when he speaks the words
"I love you" she knows it's...

My Bitch
Who is this woman
I see in my dreams,
she's so
Beautiful, Intelligent,
Thoughtful, Caring
and Honest?
Where is this woman,
does she really exist,
and is she really
that bitch?
I love you bitch.
I long for you bitch.
Truthfully I speak
these words,
I'm looking for you bitch,
I need you,
only you
can scratch this itch.
When you read this
I know
you won't be offended
being the bitch you are.

True Love
Anyone can love but
it takes a special someone
to know the true
meaning of the word.
It's not the love you give
a pet and take back when
the pets to old
that's absurd.
True love grows with time
for us all, you no longer
love the beauty, or the body.
You've grown to love
that person even
with all their flaws.
Love wasn't meant
to be perfect, and yes
it gets tested
but with time,
understanding,
patience and dedication.
Love can be perfected.

The End of You
They say to err is human,
forgiveness devine.
Well I'm not god
so forgive you?
Not for this crime.
Some have to be taught
lessons in respect,
while others
you let wallow
in their own regret.
My only true friend
has proven himself
just that.
Bereft of all feelings
he's The Angel of Death.
Once you're crossed out
of the book of life,
he'll wrap you
in darkness and
extinguish your light.
If you don't know
what's best for you
pray, you never
cross me or
I'll send him...

Back At It
My world calls for me again...
my family, my hood niggas,
my so called friends.
I'm a hustla baby...
that's all I know.
Them dead presidents call
and...I gotta go.
I can't pass up the cash,
in favor of a piece of ass,
momentary gratification
how long does that last?
If you know me
you know my philosophy...
C.R.E.A.M
or
Cash Rules Everything Around ME.
I can put this bread away...
you know save it
for a rainy day,
or when the
drought season
comes this way.
So it's
back...

my so called friends.

Marry Me
Not one day passes,
that I don't think of you,
I'd like to be the one
to find true love with you;
not a hasty decision baby
I've really thought this through.
Your courage,
your beauty,
your body,
your mind,
and your sense of duty.
You could bring out
something in me again
that's not been there for years.
Please tear down the wall
that surrounds my heart,
built by heartbreaks tears and fear.
You could make me feel again
and I wouldn't get enough,
I'd fight for us because I...

Questions
Tell me
Is it possible?
Can I fall for the same girl twice?
Is the pain I remember worth the price?
Will she do it again?
With another one of my friends?
Or will it be someone new?
What am I to do?
Is this yet another test?
Will I fail it if I answer my 1st question yes?
What do I do so I don't keep loving you?

Friends to Love
I imagine making
love to your mind
to be like...
writing poetry..
slowly..methodically,
thoughtfully;
delivering you
sheer ecstasy.
Tasting of your body
and it's perfectly
curved symmetry...
oh so well proportioned,
bringing you,
your most powerful
orgasm in history.
Satisfying your
animal urges
and passion
by any means.
Between you and me
there's real chemistry.
So it's not
to hard to believe,
why you'll fall in
lust with me.
But by the end
of this night...

The instrument
of your demise,
sub compact .45.
Guaranteed,
not to leave
your dumb ass
still alive.
Holes as big
as pop cans
blow out the
back of your chest,
Family and friends
all gather around
to lay your
stupid ass to rest.
You crossed
the wrong nigga,
now it ain't no
turning back,
The Angel of Death
I bring to you,
when I put on
this all black.
Once my friend
and Considered kin,
Now I'm hunting you.
So for you my dude
I hope you know,
I'm coming ...

Absolutely stunning
with thick thighs
and bedroom eyes,
you are the prize
I want to win.
A true woman...
with style
an infectious smile, I
and beautiful caramel skin.
It's not only
your body I want...
hmm the thought
ooooo shit!
But with those
dangerous ass curves,
you are the fuel
That keeps my fire lit.
My attraction to you
more than just physical,
it transcends...
metaphysical...
I think that's what it is.
