"The Last Time I Held You"
  by Joshua David


Here I am in jail
Tryna figure out how I got here
How it got this bad...
Let me Pon De Replay
And retrace my steps
To see where I went wrong
It all started on tour
I saw you Take A Bow
And walk off stage
I screamed out "Yo!"
You turned, winked, and went into your dressing room
That's when I knew we'd be together
Forever
It was your typical Young Love
Made just for the paparazzi
We would give a little Kiss Kiss for the cameras
Hiding under our Umbrella
And in interviews they would ask
"Is This Love?"
I would answer "Yes, she is my Cinderella"
But this made for TV love wouldn't last too long
So now we come to last night
I get back home from a long tour
And find you sitting on the couch
I wished they would've warned me,
Before I was such in a Rush
To be With You,
That you can't have your cake and eat it too
You throw the pictures at me
And scream "Say It!...
Tell me that you haven't been Unfaithful"
I stand there speechless as the pictures
Of me and the girl at the club
Fall at my feet
That's when our relationship threw up the S.O.S sign...
I just knew she was gonna Break It Off
But she was much angrier than I thought
She started to Push Up On Me
Yelling "I Hate That I Love You"
She grabbed my phone and started going through it
I said "Gimme That"
But the fight just moved into the kitchen
And by that time I went through your phone
Saw some nigga had been texting you
And now I'm in your face saying "Ya Man Ain't Me"
Breakin' Dishes cuz I'm so pissed off
You are furious now and you begin hitting me
Poppin' me upside my head
I was raised better and I said to myself
"Ain't No Way that I'm gonna hit this girl"
But a lil voice in my head was saying
"This is my relationship! I am the man and I Run It!"
And before I know it I Take You Down
Choking you til there was No Air in your body
I get up and stand over your lifeless body
I stand there shocked
This fight had gotten out of control
We had literally fought all over the house
From Wall To Wall
Over what?...
OMG! I have killed you
I quickly call a cab and when I get it in
All I can say is "Shut Up And Drive"
I can't believe it!
How could I have done this?
The Question Existing in my head
Still now as I sit here in jail
The Rehab for murderers
Which I am now
I not only took your life
But I have done severe Damage to mine
And now all I have are memories
Of your smile
And of the Last Time I held you

Addicted to a little Chris Brown and Rihanna aren't you? lol. Let me find out you were their biggest fan. lol. Anyway it's a shame how domestic violence can mess up a persons life, within the blink of an eye. Good description, and song titles for this poem. Nice theme as well. 10starrrzzz.
