life

Wrote about it/ wanted you to read it/ you died before I could complete it
Stand clear/the doors are now closing/ slammed in my face/ no closure
You feared it/ wouldn’t hear it/ Grab the Vicks/ rub your chest
Loosen up/ the congest/ this is only a test/ Hit with my right/ write with my left

Can’t stand no more/bare feet/ touching floor/ evil lurking behind my door
Trapped in a jar/ take off the lid/ just want to be a Toys R US kid
From diapers/ to a Covenant house kid/ Roaches lived/ better than I did
Ate off of a trash can lid/ too proud/ to face my shame

From a little lamb/ to a black sheep/ I became/ your heart filled with malice/ cold black & callous
Turned over tables/ at the service/ you didn’t deserve this/ send off with a kiss
Something’s rotten/reeks, & stinks/ Flowers won’t cover this stench
Spread the ashes/ in a land field/ of crack pipes and baby wipes

Scarred for life/ not from a knife/ the blade of life/ cut like a rewrite
You need to hear this /Gabriele come carry this/ you’re free not me/gone to this
I still live with this/ out of respect I call you Miss/ Nothing left to me but reminisce
Bus stations park benches/ locked behind fences/ 5am rolled up my bed/cold coffee toasted stale

Bread/ by the grace of God I’m still here/ not dead
I dreamed you were crossing over/ passed by Smiling & waving/ driving a Chevy Nova
I prayed St. Peter hold you at the gate till I get there/you don’t need to walk streets paved in gold
You left me on the streets in the cold/ at 12 years old / don’t know what I’m holding/ don’t tell me to let it go

Only God knows what I know/ Only God knows why I flow/ my story too deep I’ll tell it till I sleep
Don’t cry for me/ save your tears for Haiti/ Pain is what made me/ Only God can save me/ but will he?
I live and breathe broken hearted/ clutching this letter addressed dearly departed
Back tracking when it started/ Left holding a serpent and a stone/ what’s that? / It’s like a dog without a bone
