REMEMBERING YOU reesecup
I bought the perfume that you used to wear
Thoughts of how you use to care
I bought you that red teddy bear
let 's play truth or dare
thoughts of you leaving me i refuse
Playing that old record of dusty blues
awaking to nothing but, sad ass news
Damn...6 mths and i'm still remembering you
PEACE REESECUP

Suicide's Anniversary
I died tomorrow.
Did you notice?
I bet you did.
And now you sit
wondering why
the rest of your life.
Why?
Did you cry?
Did you rage?
Did you scream?
Then get over it.
You don't tell me
you miss me
by hanging on.
I don't want you
to miss me.
Do you even know why
I chose to die?
I knew if I didn't
you'd follow me around
taking care of me.
Listening to my words.
Catering to my woes.
Love me or not
you felt obligated.
I lifted you up
when you fell down.
I dried your tears
when you were hopeless.
I came to your rescue
when you were friendless.
I fed you
when you were homeless.
I set you on your feet
and told you
you were worthy.
And you believed me.
And though you no longer
needed me
I was starting to need you.
That would not do.
Holding you back
wasn't why I lifted you up.
And dragging you with me
was no longer an option.
So tomorrow I opted out.
Mostly for your sake
and mostly for my own.
I didn't want to see
this good and noble thing
I had done in my life
be undone by the same hand.
You have a wonderful life.
Live it.
You have a wonderful heart.
Give it.
Take the pain I gave you
and bury it with me.
It wasn't your fault
though it was for you
but more for me.
I didn't have to take you with me.
I didn't want to.
So quit following in my footsteps now.
Don't throw away everything
you fear you don't deserve.
Enjoy everything I left you
strong enough to dance with.
And dance.

Never met him befo but
He got my soul in a glow
I stand still and let it go
Let him walk up to me whisper more than just
SWEATING NOTHIGS in my ear
letz me knoe
That I'm his dear and there's no
Need to fear.
The pressure is on
Day- dreamin is all he did
To get me closer to his heart
Cus I was so amazingly beautiful
That all he could do was stare at me from afar.
Didn't wanna rush the arrow to my heart
so he Rapped a line or 2
NOT on relations but just on how he was diggin me from the start
And that's when the instrumentals in my mind started collaborating with the feelings he free-styled from his spirit
Now that's love cus I wasn't even on set when he stepped to me
Wasn't prepared for niggahs testing me
But he proved he was a man by respecting me.
Took me by my hand
And this is what he sang to me:
U are my sunshine… My only sunshine… u make me
Happy YYYYYYY when skys are grey, U make me know dear… How much I care for thee …So please don't take my SUNSHINE AWAY
And the crowd clapped & went krazy
Then I was awoken by the static of the t.v
Flipped 2 a commercial and realized wat coulda been me just a vision Of my soul-mate & me.

My Aching Heart
Breathless and uncomfortable;
Stranded there, immobile;
Bloody red dripping sweat;
Not here, not there, not near anywhere.
Somewhere not far from this endless distance,
lies a broken heart.
Its wings still attached and untouched...
Forgotten yet remembered...
This heart so old yet so young,
hasn't beaten enough times.
Just enough to cause
this unbearable pain.
I beg it to stop beating sometimes,
but as they say: "The heart always goes on."
Breathless and uncomfortable;

This heart so old yet so young,
hasn't beaten enough times.

Love
Love is when you miss him even before he's gone,
when you could listen to him talk all night
and never get tired of hearing his voice,
when the sound of his name sends chills down your spine,
and when you see his smile the second you close your eyes!

Here I Stand
emotionally naked as the day I was born
Here I Stand
on display for the world to see
I'm ridden of my insecurity
and covered in vulnerability
Here I Stand
ready to give you
the best of me
the worst of me
all of me
Here I Stand
making a stand
saying no more
to ever doubting the girl
you before you
I'm saying no more to questioning
my abilities
Here I Stand
I'm ready
willing and able
to put myself
on the line
and stand before you
without shame
even though
my vulnerable side
is out in the open
for all to see
Here I Stand
demanding your attention
Letting you know that
I am worthy
that
I am capable
that
I am somebody
and you will notice me
because
Here I Stand
with the confidence of a QUEEN
emotionally naked as the day I was born
Here I Stand
on display for the world to see
I'm ridden of my insecurity
and covered in vulnerability
Here I Stand
ready to give you
the best of me
the worst of me
all of me
Here I Stand
making a stand
saying no more
to ever doubting the girl
you before you
I'm saying no more to questioning
my abilities
Here I Stand
I'm ready
willing and able
to put myself
on the line
and stand before you
without shame
even though
my vulnerable side
is out in the open
for all to see
Here I Stand
demanding your attention
Letting you know that
I am worthy
that
I am capable
that
I am somebody
and you will notice me
because
Here I Stand
with the confidence of a QUEEN
