Once upon a time in a land called forever
He strolled into my life grabbed my hand and we ran away together
Far far off to a place that many people in this lifetime don’t ever get to visit…
“True love”
So his he and my she became one
One like conjoined twins, like
that black sock in the wash missing it’s pair Like
that tendril that escapes my pony tail
that one strand that dangles in mid air
One
Heart
+
One
Soul
+
One beat
+
One we
Equals four of the letters mounted together to breed his name
See this nigga made me a target for all of my home girls jokes
Because they have yet to feel how he makes me feel
Our us is so beautiful to others it seems surreal
Now I’m sprung how did he get me
Has me doing things I’d never do
like singing all out of tune
Like hanging up the phone and I text him two seconds later
Saying daddy I miss you
Or damn moo, I just want to kiss you
Minutes equate to years and my ducts overflow with tears
when I can’t get through to him
but my heart wont let me be anything but true to him
See My fingertips trace the outline of his face and absorb
His entity seeping through the pads of my index and thumb
Kidnapping my cursive strokes forcing me to write a multitude
Of love poems about him,
No complicated words or decorations need to dress up these sentiments
That I pour out into open space just so y’all can feel how much I love him
I could translate all of my pieces a million times
Hit you with the remix in other languages line for line
And the shit still wouldn’t have the exact impact
He is the circumference of my circle
So I became the Neosporin to his emotional scars
The master key to unlock his mental bars
Now my past no longer dictates my actions
They say down the hill Jack and Jill tumbled
Have you ever stopped to wonder why
It was the Socratic law of casualty
Like them we happened for a reason
Beyond laws and hills
I Find myself like Lauryn Hill
Because his words kill me softly
See he yanked down the barb wire protecting my emotions
Just so he could climb past my wall
In a past life, fairytales and happily ever after’s
Was simply for novels
In my life he’s the author and I his heroine
The plot changes but the story ends the same
with me alongside him
I can close my eyes lick my lips and savor his flavor
Like the remains of a starbucks mocha latte
clinging to my tongue like his wet kisses
titillating my salivary glands
With his quintessence sweet and mouth watering
See he played in my brain while I was sleeping
Plucked at my thoughts and yanked my dreams from the dark
Just so he could shine light on our reality
Now I’m on my knees like halle in monsters ball
Telling anyone who cares to listen that….
He makes me feel good
But y’all don’t hear me…
he makes me feel good
and I just wanna pluck out all the bad seeds of his past
Roll up his hopes
Inhale his dreams
exhale his desires into our future
See like Usher he makes me wanna climb kilimanjaro
Just so I can scream off the top my lungs
how much I love him
I wanna get full off the plate of his life
Just so I could suffer Eryktitis
The Symptoms that have me speechless
sleepy and lazy, off of my love for him
I’ve been admitted into his senti-mental institution
I was committed when he became the solution
Undiluted 100% proof that I was loved by God
That one rib that left him rib less
Molded me now I am no longer shapeless
For him I’d lay on the carving block
Cut my heart out just so he can see
how much I’m willing to bleed for him
I’d carry my cross to my own crucifixion and die
Just so I can show him that I’d rise again
Because my soul wont cross over without him
This thing we share is beyond physical
Our brains fuck feverishly fusing our mental
Because if his love was all I had
In this life
Well that would be enough
Until the end of time
See his parents named him Eryk
But I
simply call him mine
