--*POETRY IN M O T I O N . .

Every time the beat d r o p s. I swear my heart beat STOPS.
As it hip-hops in rhythm with the song. I could do this all day long.
Songs on repeat.  The melody is TOO sweet to hit >>next>>.
And the lyrics? The lyrics, while it perplexes some, it reflects what
we've begun.  What we've become.  And thus comes the bass.

P O U N D I N G.
Sounding so close, yet so f a r...
Surrounding every thing that could be ours.
If you give me these 16 bars I swear I'll make a masterpiece.
Release a hit record.  Chord for chord I'll pour my heart and soul
into this song.

If only you promise to sing along..
For the long haul.
I'm willing to fall, but you?
YOU have to be willing to catch.
To patch and revise what has been compromised
by another.  Others have been out of tune, off-key;

stroking all..the wrong...notes.

But this, this could be the antidote.
The cure is in the potion.
Take the lead, I'll follow,
as we dance to POETRY IN MOTION.

--*End Scene

He was the #1 contender.the pretender.but he played his role.
They told me not to get involved with you.to leave that puzzle unsolved with you.
Do you even care how hard I tried to find the missing pieces? Pieces of myself were
lost in the process.Obsessed with changing YOU changed ME.3rd-degree burns left
pain and scars on my ability to trust.must I remind you it was YOU who sought ME!
nearly fought for ME.and once you realized you had caught me.you forgot me.

See, this was all just a game for you.a dog after the kitty cat.yes, in fact, I was merely a chase.
defaced and replaced.space out every time I think of who you could've been.what we could've been.
So I pretend and suppress the feeling.I'm dealing and with time comes healing.Sealing my heart until someone
proves they're worth peeling my heart.exposing the layers.Answering my prayers.

So I play guard.Daring one to play forward.come forward and break this guard I'm entitled to hold.
As the recital unfolds and the curtains close.the credits role.the act is over.you've been discovered.

--*s e l f i s h.

I fell for you without f a l l i n g.
stalling to allow my feelings to grow.
show my vulnerability. humility now controls my thoughts.
fought the inevitable for the longest. wrongest mistake I never made.
so why am I not able to let it go.


Didn't know I'd be left looking for all the answers to unasked questions.
C O N F E S S I O N, I wanted this to happen. to work.
but the stubbornness that lurked within us got the BEST of us.
leaving me with the WORST of you. fussed & cussed to re-new the best in you.


The one I grew to know has slowly died.
as hard as I tried. as much as I cried.
lied about giving a damn. the only person I scammed was myself.
selfish is what I've become as I've begun to erase you like I drew you.


They say "out of sight, out of mind", but being blind only 
reminds me of what I used to see.
the kind of person you used to be.
I REFUSE to be another "h e r". blur my vision. question my intuition..
as I position myself to take back control. console my mind, body and soul.


I fold. as this hole gets deeper and deeper.
I bury the hurt, anger, expectations, frustration.
Eliminating temptation to contact you.
I've subtracted you from my life.
my selfish sacrifice.
