”I told you I’d leave, knowing I wanted to stay, You didn’t try, you let me walk away, Starting to think all niggas are the same.The look on your face tells me that you’re ashamed.”
When I’m in your arms I smile
You leave me feeling liberated yet secure
I know you feel the same
When I look into your eyes
Every emotion is shown on your face
Like an art gallery
Each piece is unique and priceless
Never having to settle because I have what I want
Never having to make due because I have what I need
In you I see my past, present, and future
You’re my boyfriend and bestfriend
I love you forever and always
Going unnoticed and leaving others neglected
Paying attention to what I thought I hadn’t infected
With my perspectives and decisions
Hoping someone would make the divisions
Between my lies and my truth
Never knowing what to do
But I guess its life and I have to deal
Whether or not the situations seem real
There’s no one to divide
But it’s I who must decide
What course in life to take
This is one thing I can’t fake
And I’m afraid
I draw a pretty picture,
A picture on my wrist.
The picture keeps getting bigger,
Every time my feelings are dismissed.
You think the words don’t hurt me,
You think the actions don’t cause me pain.
You think that if I smile,
I must be happy again.
I refuse to blame you;
This is my…
Well…. YOU KNOW!! :)
