Excerpt from an autobiography unwritten
Story of a brother always love bitten
Perpetually smitten
Friend zone trippin
Keeps his head up and never caught slippin
Connection so strong he had to pull away
Timing too wrong. Today is not the day.
Table for two with one place setting
Smiling with envy
At couples love letting
Streets still cold
85 degrees hot
Buying kids icees from the truck down the block
Just to see joy by some kind of means
Sisters making proclamations from blaring memes
Social media killed the dating scene
People hurt themselves
Masturbating on some theme
Makes the man scream
Silent on his deen
Silent screaming makes the shakes
Artificial stimulation intervenes
To hit the breaks
But here come the snakes
Swivel hips and painted face
Band aid love
Won't even distract
No alchemy kit will bring that chemistry back
