U came outta left field tryin' 2 lead me right 2 ur heart...
Ignoring the illuminated sign that clearly stated NO VACANCY...
U was determined that this was a path u wanted 2 start...

U had me feelin like Jazmine cuz lions, tigers and bears were no threat...but falling 4 u was...
U swore I was ur princess...U wanted 2 be my Prince...the emotions had me cryin' like doves.

I didn't think I could love u cuz my insides resembled a mountain of broken shards...
But u came in like a wrecking ball ready to demolish the cylinders of calamity that cemented my heart...
I pushed u away like a steak dinner on a Vegan's plate...
For years I was on a romance Ramadan until u shoved love down my throat and for the first time.....
I ATE....
I swallowed ur every word and saved ur heart beats 4 dessert...
They say gluttony is a sin but I'd burn in hell if feasting on ur love would delete my hurt...

U got me feelin like the 80's...when bitches airbrushed their love on shirts...
Like scribblin' hearts on book covers instead of doing class work...
And I tried 2 make u feel that I wanted 2 be the keeper of ur affection...
I got off 2 a slow start but u made me follow u in the right direction...

I wanna slow wind 2 ur mind and 2 step 2 ur intuition...
All this time I was waltzing on cloud 9... not realizing inside of u was an internal affliction...
I felt as though I loved u without condition...
Ur heart was free...but ur mind was in a mental prison...
Maybe I leaned on u too much like a crutch...
Maybe now u understand why I crush my emotions in a dutch and drown my sorrows in a cup....

I ALMOST LOST U TODAY......but not 2 a bitch or the streets...
The thought that u were almost permenantly outta my reach temporarily made my pulse cease...
What about our fairytale movie scene???
What about the love u pumped in my veins that got me hooked like a fiend?

There is no 12 step program in existance that could make my love 4 u die...
So why would u try 2 take away the product when I was at the peak of my high?
I need 2 breathe u in like cocaine addicts sniff till nose linings are dry...
When I got that call I cried acrostic tears spilling ur signature out from the ducts of each eye.

Ur face was framed within my teardrops and I cupped my hands 2 be sure they wouldnt evaporate under the sun...
At that moment u may have felt alone but even tho I acted otherwise...I've had ur back from day one...
Ur always quick 2 diss a bitch that breaks down and quits when shit gets thick...
Yet u tried 2 stop ur heart in the midst of loving me before I even got the chance 2 be hypnotized by the tick...

So I'm taking this opportunity 2 trade ur heart with mine so I can heal it over time...
And if u love me like u say u do I know u would never do anything 2 cause mine 2 flatline...
As far as ur heart ...Ima keep it safe within my chest until u can learn 2 treat it right...
Cuz loving urself is just as important as loving me...and I need u in my life...
