Unrequited Love
I can’t make you love me
If you don’t…
No shit.
I waited
Probably still waiting…
For you
For you to love me
I mean, you say it
But I don’t feel it
I’ve never hear it
I hardly see it.
Ummm.
Tank is a underrated vocalist.
Quiet distraction from my heartbreak
It hurts.
It burns.
It literally breaks
Much like an aneurism.
Yet Still I Rise
My love doesn’t wane
But it knows how to from a distance
My mom taught me that.
You can love and still let go
Set it free
And if it’s yours they say
It will find it’s way back to you.
What is love?
It’s when my baby brother says,
“Kay, yuh alright?”
It’s when mommy says,
“Wah apen?”
It’s when daddy says,
“How are you mi big baby?”
It’s when my uncle says,
“It’s not much, but I’ll send you a little something to help out”
Without me ever saying, uncle I am broke. 😄
Because I never beg.
If I borrow, I’m desperate.
Love is when Iyesha says,
“Shishi”
And only we know what it means.
It’s when Kimone says,
“Sissypooh?!”
It’s when Kimani say,
“Wah gwan mi sista, yuh gud?”
It’s when Sepri says,
“Blood.”
When Denva says,
“Cuz, yuh gud?
When grandma Annie say,
“Mi nice, nice, pretty granddawta! How are you?”
When Indi says,
“Dutty gyal yuh wash yuh pussy from mawnin?”
Hahaha!!! That greeting gets me off my rockers every time!
Love my granny Teeny.
She’s fucking crazy.
And I love it!
P.S. Which is why I don’t get why the family questions my ‘sanity’
When half dem mf done crazy too 😄😄😄
Point is.
Men always break my heart and I theirs.
I always break my family’s hearts when I do my own shit and disregard their opinions and fears
But those who truly love me,
Family I mean,
Have never given up on meh
No matter what happens between us.
We get upset with each other
We curse it out
But we never speak badly about the other
Should we, we apologize.
And we always
Always
Pick up the pieces and move on.
Because you know what,
That’s what family is about.
That’s what love is.
It’s not perfect,
but it’s Pure.
