"TURNING OVER THE HOURGLASS"
  by --->ROXIE<---
  - This Poem is a response to the poem Im Scared by BlakkStarr


I know u feel that there is alot at stake
When it comes 2 ventricles that formulate heart beats anticipating another heart quake
Apprehensive 2 the thought of not knowing whether heart linings will shatter...
I was never one 2 break things...but more prone 2 bandaging up fractures...

I can't promise that I will always walk a straight path...my feet stutter like hopscotch steps
But I would never walk away from somethin' so right even if I had on 2 lefts...
U make my heart boom audibly thru sound proof booths...
Rhythmically in sync with ur voice...soundin' like a track 9th Wonder produced...

I'm not 2 good with sayin' how I feel but I'll sing u a song in E flat like Jill Scott in her prime
Or spit u a 16 reminiscent to Big L and Rakim when I deliver the rhyme...
I can't promise it will be all cloud 9 but I will be that woman u looked 4 but never found...
And I'd carry u on my back thru hell fire before I ever let u fall 2 the ground...

See I'm not out to assemble what the last chick already left outta wack...
I'm searching within ur eyes & soul 4 hidden pieces of ur heart so I can reconstruct it from scratch...
I wanna remove each brick cemented with disappointment from the cavity of ur chest...
And turn over ur hourglass 2 restart the sands of time putting all memories of pain 2 rest...

I don't wanna just be on the same page...I wanna be word by word within the same sentence...
Written in the longest book in history in which the chapters are endless...
I never question this chance encounter...all I know is lately ur the only one I think of...
Im just sayin...if ur not busy later maybe we could....find the time 2 fall in love...
