FiveSenses.

Kiss my scars and tell me you love them.


Lay with me in silence watching the nights sky,


Hold me.


Draw your attention to me and feel my warmth.


As we lay,


The sound bite of your voice replays in my head,


“You’re so pretty”.


But I need you to show me that you’re not like the rest.


Baby, I’ve been so neglected,


It’s hard to completely let go of the worry,


& the feeling of being let down.


Shower me in love and protection.


And never let me go.


Bring me flowers,


& tell me how much you’ve missed me.


Don’t hold back on your love,


I’ll accept it all.


Make me giggle so hard that the wine burns my nostrils.


Let me listen to the sounds of your heartbeat,


And become one with you.


When I see you,


My eyes light up like Christmas trees in December,


& I can’t help but blush.


Your sandalwood & citrus scent cause me to melt,


As you wrap those strong, chestnut arms around me.


But more than the physical attraction,


Your presence feels so warm.


Like a buttery biscuit, I want to taste.


Hold my hand,


And tell me that I’m pretty.

These Underwear Have Meaning

— When was the last time I’ve cleaned out my closet? Not the one where my graphic tees and sweats lie. The one where my broken friendships haven’t been removed. And my unhealed family traumas haven’t been folded. I’m trying to make space for new connections, And I haven’t even decluttered the dresser to my ex’s mistreatment. Even a bit scared to open the bins to self awareness. Because then, I’ll actually have to face my misconduct. So I keep the door shut, And hope you’ll accept my mess.

Skinny Dipping

I decided to take a dip in the pool, only to find out ALL these n***as are just like you. You see, It wasn’t about the shiny things  or the places you could take me, I just wanted you to date me, exclusively. When I ask why you don’t take me seriously, You get all reclusive and talk about how it used to be. Why is it that I’m begging you to show me some emotion, That’s something you’re not exposed to. But when I go out and do my own thing with other guys, You then realize, That you ain’t ready to lose me. Keep me just within arms reach, But far enough so I don’t get too attached. You rather go be with her, her, & her, as if the love between us can be matched. I’m so f*ckin tired of this merry-go-round you got me living in. The emotional roller coaster is too much to bear, So I rather just go sit in it. That pool with them other n**gas. Because at least with them, I ain’t gotta pretend, to be heartless, Or to let my soul spark shit, that’s never going nowhere.

I Hope This Finds You Well

Hey you, With your fine ass. You know I always compliment your skin, And how perfect you are, In the physical. But let me take this moment to show you some appreciation. When we first started out, I didn’t want more than an emotionally unavailable connection with you. But even you wouldn’t let it be just that. In a time where I was hurting, you gave me space. You even told me you recognize that I am going through my healing phase. Now, you could be just that damn toxic, but you’ve always handled me with care. Even when you confuse me with your actions. You see, it’s the little things you do for me that keep me invested. Like having a positive response to every defeat I have inside my own head. Showing me a new way to live and to be healthy. Pushing me to excerise and take care of my body. I was so mad at you for pushing me to my limit this one particular day, But I couldn’t even address it because I knew it was all for my improvement. Even when you don’t say anything, You build me up. ...
