Holdin em Back
Before they stream down my face
How did I get to this place
This lopsided space
Of unsurety
Loving you has made me weak
I cant think
until I hear you speak
to start my day
to end my night
I fight with urges
surges of need
stifling resistance
resentment builds
and fills the greed
to have you wrapped up
next to me
it vexes me
perplexes me
how easily you walk away
with my vulnerability
on display
my humility a dismay
while inside I
beg you to stay
to lay and linger
a little longer
but my ego
pulls asunder
contradicting my hunger
growing stronger
while I chew upon
your appetizers
tides to tie me over
I sit in somber monotones
like a fiend
fiending my fix to come home
feeling in love all alone
stringing my hearts trombone
strung off of you
superglued to your hue
and walking in your shadow
not knowing which way to go
controlled by your effortless attempts
a simp
helpless at your beckon call
even if I didnt trip
I’d still fall
to your feet
feeling incomplete
without you next to me
wishing the domination subsided
in love with you
one sided

We have all been through it, crushing on someone that doesn’t want us back, wishing, hoping that just maybe oneday……. that day never comes though. Eventually we get over it and move on.
Sweet Revenge is always when you see them years later and then they try to holla….only by then we forget why we ever were so interested. Has this ever happened to any of you?
Are any of you crushing on someone that doesnt want you back? Or has put you in the “friend” box that you can never get out of?
Let me hear your stories…..Holla Back

Hi…
Luv the piece. Created a section on my blogspot - http://poetiscian.wordpress.com and wondering if I may feature some of your lyrics and then link back to your blog? Let me know.
And yeah been there, in fact, right there now - except we both realize we can not be together. Six long years, wish we have never taken the plunge. Feel like my mission for the rest of my life is to protect my heart.
Working on opening up…
Goodness Tina - you tried to open up an old wound with this one (lol) definitely been there and usually YOU can get me to openly share but this one right here….nosiirrrrr (lol) that ish shall remain buried back the time a space from which it and all of it’s ridiculousness all took place ha ha but I will say that in retrospect there were so many red flags that I willingly ignored, but I was young (19 - 20 yrs. old) , naive (shoot we both were) and clueless about love and relationships.
Flash Forward: I saw him recently and TINA he came at me like he was still the sh*t (meanwhile he is damn near 50-60 pounds heavier, bald and over compensating for the hair loss with this big (_l_) Grizzly Adams beard)…meanwhile, in my head I’m thinking ” um…you do realize that you look like Doo Doo, are whack for being married and tryna holla AND I just threw up in my mouth a little bit right?” ha ha (I am totally cracking myself up at the moment) but seriously all I could do was walk away and thank GOD that ish did NOT work out ha ha ha (smh).
Great Poem
It hurts like hell to watch me watching you living life not nowing that I am waiting for you. You loose hope when he reaffirms what you aleady know. That this is going no where fast dragging your ass along for the ride.
I love your writing. It as inspired me to look for your work. Much blessings to my sister.
