Poetry

She Bled

She painted her love

Used her own blood

Like the colors in the sky

The rainbows were smudged

But she wanted to be more

Than all the painters that touch

For her heart was an ocean

That cried colors of love

But she painted so often

She didn’t realize how broken she was

Eye Contact

The most powerful thing in this world

Is eye contact

Words can be deceiving

But the eyes never lie

So when i'm looking for the truth

I look into your eyes

I don’t use them for clarity

But I use them as a gateway to be lost

Somehow everytime I look into your eyes

I seem to end up in another dimension

Where it seems your love is a drug

That I constantly abuse without care

Knowing the consequences are death

But im not afraid of dying in love with you

Realizing I will eventually wake up

Stare into your eyes

And relive my favorite nightmare over

“Never be afraid to look a person in the eyes it shows strength”

The gift “unwrapping”

She’s magic

A tragic Actress

Who kills you with her attraction

The dark and her soul are matching

The cold and her heart are matching

Her loves comes with a passion

Her beauty causes distractions

She’s the gift you’re unwrapping

Just make sure

You make her understand her worth

Because she’ll play with your mental

And blame it on how she’s been hurt

Like you caused all those tears’

That fell to her shirt

Like you was the lame nigga

Who treated her like dirt

As if you didn’t try to make things work

Made you feel like you was the worse

You say you love her

She says what’s that

You say it again

She said fuck that

But now you know

Always check the gift before you unwrap
