Musing Obsidian

� � �
I gave you grace...a chance to salvage face � � �
you met me in the midst of my fuckery � � �
I wanted to love you..ego-tripped over all of your red flags � � �
spooned fed you liquored pints of transparency... � � �
a chance to peer beyond my shadows � � �
boldly hidden in plain sight � � �
but your presumptuousness overlooked my djinnis� � �
cuz you wanted what you wanted � � �
never concerned yourself about my whispers and dreams � � �
you decided instead to snoop thru my phone � � �
and create your own narrative � � �
� � � �
I gave you access unlike any other � � �
you used it to run a smear campaign in my name � � �
tried to isolate me..alienate me from my loved ones � � �
barbwire my imagination...my creativity � � �
self center my Eros around you � � �
but I was Me long before we became an 'Us'� � �
you most definitely had me fucked up � � � �
cuz you couldn't possess me like you thought you could � � �
didn't know i turned my itchy demons into allies � � � �
they warned me about the likes of you � � �
as my God spoke parables... � � �
� � � �
lust and obsession burned a quick flame � � �
searing truth from skin � � �
then came that asphyxiating dust... � � �
leaving us equally choked in � � �
the nuclear fallout from emotional burnouts � � �
crashed landed on a honied moon � � �
shattering mirrors...envisioning exit strategies � � �
now looking at the proverbial front door � � �
from a backdoor fabrication that should have never existed � �
in the first place between a fabled you and I � �
who tried to fuck and find love on a bed of nails.. � � �
� � � �
doomed to fail � � �
