a poem for her & I

CATEGORY

romance

Her voice told me she was looking for love in all the wrong places

As her heart was scared to allow my veins to flow imagination to her mind to help her dream again

While her smile spoke to the overcrowded thoughts I hid in a liquor bottle, wanting to be my peace she only desired back 

I began lusting for her knowledge for she gave mental connection

 as she became in awe for of the idea of being my angel i needed to survive this ghetto

She is my peace of mind in this war caused by my skin, in a battle caused by my demons i was inherited with since birth, and these scars I will take for her to protect her from a world i wish to escape.

She told me, “I never had this before, I never been a queen, never been admired” 

for i know those before me were not looking with their eyes but yet their mistakes as they mistakenly overlooked how beautiful her soul was 

For i am as a blind men wishing to see to the scenery of the sun rising over the horizon while those who have eyes became accustomed to and show no care

For she is my horizon over these walls, her voice the melody that blocks the sirens of my harsh reality 

Her existence became me weakness 

overtime her eyes became my addiction i dont wanna fix 

while her tears became my motivation to make her stay the same for I fell in love with her insecurities she did not wish to see in her reflection

Before my eyes, my heart, and my love for her became her new mirror 

And became the new bottle I’d prefer to drink to steer away from my demon thoughts for her love provides me a pleasurable drunk

Her voice once told me she was looking for love in all the wrong places 

Now she is my love feeling loved in all the right places 

As she is my medicine to the world I call home
