Shhh...

Have you ever experienced a silence so thick
it was deafening?
Sitting in Mediterranean dust
and Gothic lighing

Sulking about all that I am not
Tear ducts at capacity

I cry for me


Verbal cruelty spewed through Avon-coated lips
and I wonder will she ever stop to think
Condemnation through hateful eyes won't change me.


I cry for we


and un-attainability
Settling for physicality
when I'd give my all to love you cerebrally
But there's blockage that leads to your cortex
In daylight I escape your room in silence

Crying for fulfilling harmonies

Sensual
Captivating
True


I cry for you


Won't give one more excuse
Stroking your hair,
I simply whisper into your ear
that I didn't know how to love you

I cry for hue too light and waist too thick
I cry for what I miss


Congrats HU Grad!
Here's a recession and there's your raised fist
Manicured and bleached

Nappy queen cries for in-opportunity

Have you ever experienced a silence so thick it was deafening?
When night came
I sat and cried for me
