pain / patience / virtue

Give her time
Give her space
Her heart to heal
At its own pace 

I miss you dear
I fucked it up
And now I leave
To fill my cup

Give her time
Give her space
Her heart to heal
At its own pace

I’m scared to lose
you to another
but now’s the time
to free each other

Give her time
Give her space
Her heart to heal
At its own pace

I still love you
But I’m alone
I sit and wait
As broken stone

Give her time
Give her space
Her heart to heal
At its own pace

Ironically 
I fear the thing
That once before
Would never sting

Give her time 
Give her space
Her heart to heal
At its own pace

I will be ready 
Next time we meet
To kiss your face
And rub your feet

Give her time
Give her space
Her heart to heal
At its own pace 

lessons learned

you can’t be everything for everyone. 
always ask permission.
always ask forgiveness.

it’s a fact of amerikan life
that you’re on your own
and nobody gonna swoop in
and save you, not even yr own
mama, cuz she lookin out for herself
and she’s done enuf 4u already.

you may not dig the philosophy
but it’s the standard approach
in these united states.

social media is the devil
i am her mistress.

it’s okay to let go.
it’s okay to hold on.
it’s okay to cry too much
or not at all.

the times you don’t speak
are the times you will regret
the most.

capitalism is eating everything
and the masses hold the key.

we have to build it
and not be afraid
to die
so that we may live.

To the Woman Who Was Not Yet

to the woman who was not yet
to the woman who was not yet

dearie you are doing well
in the next life you’re fine
smoking weed / sipping wine
baby you’re all right don’t
worry so much all the time

you had her love
you had it
but you wasn’t happy
why? figure it out
and get back to me

reciprocity!
i want the same same
dish for dish and
do for do, feel me?

i wanna be your woman again
but not your wife
and not your mommy
i wanna be your woman again
