Nothing But Air

I can't explain you & I 

I watch you when you sleep 

But I feel nothing

It's an emptiness I can't really begin to try to describe. 

When you hold me, I don't get the butterflies that should be taking over my stomach.  

I get hot with annoyance, aggravation, & irritation. 

There was a time when all I longed for was you but since things have changed. 

Because even though you're the only man in my life, the only man who consumes my mind, 

I still don't feel a thing. 

I don't even feel like we can overcome the trails & tribulations that a relationship brings. 

There are even some nights that I wish I was laying elsewhere. 

I want to love you, I want to feel you
but when I kiss you .. 

I don't feel nothing but air.

Footprints

When I think about you, nothing makes sense

& when I’m around you, I try to control myself but I never have the strength. 

I want you every minute of everyday 

but there’s nothing I can do to make you stay

see I want you to myself and nobody else 

but you’re the type to be surrounded by an entourage of females

usually thats not my type 

but at night, you’re the only one who holds me just right

the only one who makes me feel on top of the world 

who makes me wanna keep my lashes and my hair curled 

you touch me and my heart spins

Sometimes I wish these feelings for you didn’t begin 

but in my dreams, on my heart you left footprints

& hand and hand it was just me & my prince 

Wrote this awhile ago .. Just felt like posting something.

Love

Love is patient, love is kind

Like the way you accept my flaws & respect my grind 

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud

You love me as I am & you’re never afraid to say it out loud 

It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs 

You know just how to handle me, nothing with us is ever prolonged 

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth 

I understood your loyalty the moment we were introduced 

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves 

I never have to question your love and that is beyond dope 

Love never fails 

I promise our love will always prevail.

They Don't Know

They don’t know about you and I 

we have this connection thats hard to even deny

& when you put it on me, boy you make me want to touch the sky 

when i first met you I was shy 

i didn’t want to come off as easy 

but baby you had me feeling queasy 

and as the butterflies were flying ..

I was out here lying .. 

I didn’t want them to know the truth 

The emotion between us, they had no proof 

They don’t know 

They don’t know that behind closed doors our love already started to grow 

Your girl and my man, they have no clue 

Our love holds ties that they can’t possibly undo 

I used to want you on some selfish shit 

But this thing we have turns me on, I have to admit 

As long as we keep this between me & you

nobody will have a clue.

Situations

when things happens for reasons unseen you become lost 

we’re sliding  

you start to wonder if you did something to deserve these ungodly consequences 

we’re spinning 

you question every wrong you’ve ever done

we’re screaming 

you get down on your knees and pray until they bleed

we’re clenching 

you thank God that you’re alive

we hit

you then ask God to keep you safe from harms way 

we’re holding 

you know these things could happen to anybody

we’re crying

but you still wonder why it was your life that was almost taken 

we’re .. okay.
