Make Up Kisses

I missed you

He say 

But his face looked more like

Where you been 

I smile ever so sweetly

Walk over

Stand on my tippy toes to give him a kiss

I missed you too Bae

That's why you haven't called all day?

He says

Last night

He told me that he wasn't into the sappy

Love stoned girl that 

I was becoming

He told me to get a grip

That this wasn't a Disney channel movie

and our Enchanted forrest

was hidden by

Ambulance howls

Lovers screaming at one another

and beautiful black people being unlawfully attacked

Our mission

went far beyond

Lit candles

Rose petals and

Cooked meals

The Revolution has begun

and in the time of war

We must show no love

Everything he says

I take it to heart

I'm a pleaser 

so I give him his desires of

Focus

and 

Resilience

with

Less mushiness

I cannot pretend that this is  me though

So to keep me from complaining

I let him be tho

I turn off my phone

In the morning 

So I am not tempted

to water him with my

Adoration of this intelligent brother

with the weight of the world

on his shoulders

(that I cannot help but rub)

I give him space and not the evil eye

As he cleans out his ears with the

Q- Tip

called reality

That though he is built for battle

and extremely fit

He's in love with a poet

that today he truly missed
