another goodbye...



This blog is becoming a love bloodbath of sorts. Oh well. It's whatever at this point. This is my closing statement of a good bye letter. Like the saying goes, if you want to date a writer, don't behavior badly.

_____________________


Once I say what I need to say, I will commence to literally cutting you out of my life. I must start to treat you like the cancer, the tumor you have become. I will block you from the matrix; delete your videos, pictures and text messages. I will ‘X’ you out of my life like the idea of YOU never existed. Why? You have proven that not only do you not love me; you don’t respect me enough to even grant me my one simple request, to leave me alone. I’ve never wanted to add unnecessary drama to your life, be a burden, or cause you pain. I’ve only spoken and nurtured life INTO you.

You speak of love as if it’s some flippant “good morning. How you doing?” dance we humans do when we don’t want to REALLY know the truth.  Am I mad at you? You speak to me in such a trivial, elemental way; it’s so much deeper.

I need to heal. I need to get out of your way. You won’t leave well enough alone. You speak so jubilantly because HEY you took no risk “loving me”. You always had a REAL love all along. Well, now it’s time to get you out of my life so I can finally get the love I really deserve, a love as beautiful as my spirit.

You are destructive. You are manipulative. You are hazardous to my mental, physical, and emotional health. You could care less about who I am, what I’ve been through, or the relationship I have with darkness. I was merely your plaything, your rest stop, your ‘something to do’ while you waited for your next distraction, your next entertaining beautiful queen doll to deaden your pain. Now, I’m just drowning in a sea of tears along with the other women you’ve run over due to your reckless driving.

For whatever reason God doesn’t want me to come home yet, so self-preservation has to be my main concern. It was nice being in your arms. It was an honor to be in earshot of your beautiful laugh. My dear love, I thank you for the laughs. That is what I think about often. The dance we shared will never leave my dream world. Truth be told, I wanted to have your baby. I was even thinking of getting my tubes untied. I started to form dreams and fantasies of what his/her face would look like. But, I learned (thanks for telling me) that you were actually playing with me, toying with me the whole time because you were actually living a REAL life fantasy with someone else and you were just torturing me, dangling the idea of us creating together. I cried for days. I still cry. If you see me in the street or at any event, please walk on by. No hard feelings. It was nice dreaming with you.

I pray your baby will be healthy and the mother will have a healthy pregnancy. I pray this is your rib and I pray you do right by her. I want you to be happy. That was all I wanted, but I got greedy and started to ask for more knowing you couldn’t give it to me in a million years.

In closing, am I mad at you? Nah, I love you. I’m simply suffering the painful consequences. Until the next life time in another realm, my love..

I want to thank Kiwi, Tommy, Celeste, Honey, Tracy, Charysse, Chante. I want to thank all those who helped put a smile on my face. I want to thank those who love me, appreciate me, lift me up and speak life into me. Lastly, I want to thank Luke James and that new album of his. Talk about good timing.

I want a sure thing.



Today, my sista asked me what it is that I need in my future significant other. You know, the list. And, this happened...


I want a man to be addicted to me. 


I want a man to come in and change my whole life around to the point of me forgetting my past hurt like it's drowned in a life lived centuries ago. 


I want a man who will NOT allow me to do all the heavy lifting, literally and figuratively. 


I want a man who is willing to get dirty, be present, and never withhold his love and affection.


I want a man who will lose every single time in the silent treatment game when we have disagreements.


I want a man who is at home in my presence...captivated by my mind, my heart, my soul, my body. 


I want a man who increases my knowledge, my love for life.


I want a man who knows what I'm feeling even when I think I'm all right... knowing he needs to dig deeper and will take the time to get to the root.


I want a man who will stop at nothing to show his love in vivid color by simply saying those four magic words from that classic movie "Holes" ... "I can fix that."


I want a man with smarts, intelligence, swag, and maschimo but only the right amount. 


I want a man who will take the time to get to know me, my kids, and listen to my family tell those embarrassing stories from my childhood. Fuck me silly. And love me everlasting. 


I want a man to entice me to make an appointment with my doctor to untie my tubes because our love needs to be reproduced.


I want a man I would thank God for daily. 


I want a man to proclaim his love for me, even in front of his enemies.


I want to be a secret no more.

Force Fed

Forced to relate

Forced to be cordial

Forced to give your mental space away

Forced to turn the other cheek from the hate

Forced to endure the mediocre daily exchange

Forced to lie about being happy to wake up; still here, breathing, living

Force fed a life created from ignorance not knowing how crucial every step would
be for the future

Forced to find the motivation to create something beautiful from a sad place

Forced to fight for your right to be an individual

Forced to eat the life you cooked with an amateur’s intuition

Forced to look into empty, tired, sad eyes void of life and lie, saying: I love you - I like you - you are
worthy - you are beautiful”

Forced to speak when you have nothing to say

Forced to smile because your emoji straight face makes other humans quake

Forced to hide the emotional turbulence roaring underneath the surface

Forced to pretend not to feel anything in a world that gives no fucks

Forced to act like the tear’s culprit is seasonal allergies while on display

Forced to listen to lame stories about grandkids, rockstar weekends, and other amazing shit you could give two shits about

Forced to be the responsible adult in a world full of derelicts

Forced to work for the greater good of us all; because if you don't work .. they don't eat

Forced to say 'Good Morning' when the only reason you are even awake, working, is to not feel guilty when you sleep

Love Uncontained



I want a love that transcends
Vows
Rings
Ceremony
Honeymoon
Ritual
Something old
Something blue
White picket fence
House with 2 car garages
Golden retriever
Carriages
The American dream

I want a love that cannot be contained
Not even in a room with
Bling’d out new pussy
Distracting hips
Licked lips
Big guns
Even jeans with juicy bulges
Can keep us from it

A love that inspires
A captivating love
A love much like a ray of sun dancing over rippling waters
A love that is so late, but you are so glad you are ready           
A love unrecognizable at first glance
A sacrificing love happy to give it all
A love with the desire to learn from its subject
 A love willing to admit “I don’t deserve you”

A love
Not patronizing
Not proud
Nor lies
A love only stealing kisses while you sleep
Not your identity
A love willing to bare the naked truth
Free falling knowing the safety net is you
A love changing in shape
To accommodate all that you know and are soon to find out
A love free to go
But for reasons you can’t even explain
Stays around nosey with intrigue
A love not requiring the utterance of the words
“I love you”
