True Love
I'm in love all over again
This time it's with my Creator not my neighbor
Infatuation had me by the throat, love said let her go
Keep you lustful, filthy hands off my precious stone
I left her here to adorn Me, she's never all alone

Undeserving
No consultation
No consideration
No meditation
No dedication
No reconciliation
No love
Only impulses
Only excuses
Only dime 'a' dozen dreams
Only broken promises
Only half truths
No love
Just tolerated
Just unappreciated
Just eliminated
Just infuriated
Just vacated
No love

Love Virus
Awakened by a gurgle of the stomach
Rumbling, Grumbling
Heavy regurgitation
Near the point of dehydration
Rocking back and forth
Waiting on the next episode
Constant pain and irritation
Sounds of thunder struck my chest
Weakened to the point of bed rest
Too sick to even get myself dressed
Feverish and nauseous
How long will this endure
Day after day, searching for a cure
Some type of antidote
Perhaps a glass of ginger ale or a hot toddy
A warm bath
Filled with lavender crystals to sooth my body
Tears flowing frequent, not one cloth to spare
No voices tended with a concerning care
Miserable and humiliated

Crush or 2 Be Crushed
Smitten…Do you call me foolish for being a fool
Fuzzy bunnies and butterflies, I guess that's cool
Curious…All day I long for him to notice me or give me a simple wink
Does he even care about how I feel or what I think
Weak…Sick to my soul, sending chills thru my knees
Crying so hard that my tears start to bleed
Crazy...Screaming because I'm stuck on this emotional rollercoaster
Waiting for the pinch as a sign that this nightmare is over
Confused...That I can't fathom his nonchalant head nod
Wondering if his abstruse smile is a mere facade
Forgotten...My feelings are caged like a dove
Choked, even stifled by this thing they call love
When will I be free to finally breathe
Trying hard not to give up on what I believe

A Long Walk Home
I gotta hurry before the street lights come on
Loud firecrackers pop as I duck the drive-by zone
Open your eyes and stop pretending not to see
There's flying silver spears coming toward me
Some people call it 'Minding Your Own'
Nobody wants to tell the police, so the killers get to go home
Go ahead and look the other way
This could be someone you love the very next day
Everybody's crying, tears fill the hood
Trust me; I'd revive your son or daughter if I could
The devious wolves dress up posing as sheep
Look at innocent lamb covered in crimson...fast asleep
Why deprive the existence of what God call's GOOD
Another lost and rebellious teen misunderstood
