This collection of poems is dedicated to all those who put me through so much when I was just trying to find love.
I want to say THANK YOU. Without those experiences I would not have had the material for this book.
Dear Abby
Why does it seem
Every man I meet is a dream
That quickly turns into a nightmare
Without any signs to beware
They build me up,
So high up
To rip me right back down
Without any remorse
Or a single, solitary frown
It’s happened too many times
With no real change in design
You would think I knew better
But obviously not
Since I’m writing this letter
Some laugh
On my behalf
And some feel sorry
For my misfortune and worry
But I stand tall
As tall as I possibly can
Never giving up on a man
What to do Abby?
What to do?
Singing off
The one and only,
Confused and Lonely
Concerned
Just because it’s 3:26
In the morning
And I’m not yawning
As I stare up
At your windowpane
In the rain -
Does not make me insane,
I am just concerned
As I look in
Something is flickerin’
Is it the TV
I see?
Or is it more than meets the eye?
As I spy
Only because
I am concerned
Peeking up high
And down low
Through every window
Do I detect movement?
Nope, that’s just the air
Coming through the vents
Onto the curtains
Definitely,
For certain
Just checking,
I’m concerned
Is that voices I hear?
As I lean closer with some fear
Sounds like a woman…
Oh man, do I have to kick some ass again?
Concerned can make you this way
Knock knock
Knock knock knock
I wonder
The door opened
WIDE OPEN
At 3:34 am
So I walk in
Through the living room
Toward the steps
Down the hall
Lightly stepping
Cause if he’s sleepin
I don’t wanna wake him
I’m just concerned
What am I hearin?
Moanin…
Groanin…
Smackin…
WHAT?!!!
Tap-tap-tap
Gently on the door
No answer
Tap-tap,
Slow push
There goes that flickerin’
Again
There go those noises
Again
But there’s no she
No she in sight
Just the voices from the TV
Late night
Just being concerned
Hovered over the bed
No words can be said
I feel so dumb
Cause thoughts
Brought
Me here
In the early part of the a.m.
Being overly concerned
I never knew being concerned
Was like this
Makes stalking last on my list
5 Years, 8 Months, and 12 Days
5 Years, 8 Months, and 12 Days
That’s how long
it took me
To see
Through your ways
To notice how selfish you really are
To realize you are not
My every desire
5 Years, 8 Months, and 12 Days
You treated me like shit
With every other chick
You was with
Every move you’d make
My heart you would take
Never trying to hide
Anything
5 Years, 8 Months, and 12 Days
The tears
The fears
The hate
The mistakes
All I gave
And would never take
5 Years, 8 Months, and 12 Days
OF MY LIFE,
MY LIFE
3 of those as your wife
Wasted years
Wasted tears
Wasted time
Of mine
5 Years, 8 Months, and 12 Days
In this time you never knew
How true
I was to you
Finally I woke up
And packed
I’ll never look back
On that
5 Years, 8 Months, and 12 Days
Stay Away
I don’t need you here
All you do is drag me
down
Down so low
That I don’t even recognize myself
I’ve had enough
Of your lies
Enough of your goodbye’s
And coming back
Please
I want you as far away
As possible
Stay Away!!
You Thought You Destroyed Me
You destroyed my world
To put it nicely
You took my heart
In so many ways
And didn’t even think twice
The brightest day
Became the darkest night
The sweetest woman
Became the portrait of hate
Don’t worry
I shall prevail
