Poetry jam: Addendum
So I’ve been trying this poem for this guy
Actually more like 2…
I couldn’t get the words right maybe y’all could help me out:
“From the dancing and laughing
To the kisses on the forehead
The subtle touches showing you care
You asked me what I see and what I be thinking
When you catch me admiring you
Well Ive been trying to figure out the best way describe it
You can be brittle but you always stayed firm.
You are as sweet as you want to be….
a tad crazy….slightly bitter
…but Always a cornball
Your skin feels like …1000 thread count sheets
…actually more like Raw shea butter on a hot summer day
Your smile is so radiant that sun light is dim around you”
Nahhh that’s not it sounded way to sweet and endearing like I yearned for you or. something
Okay let try again:
“Silly things I believed in
I believed in crazy things when I was younger
You know Santa, tooth fairy, monster under the bed
Stuff like that
those are the kind of things to you can’t get over when you find out it’s not real
So why can’t I get over you
It’s not like I’m in love with you or anything
Could it be that I believed in your truth
Your struggle, your success and intellect
Or could it be that I believed in your lies, while compromising and believing there could’ve something between us“
see now that just mad sad that can’t be it… you know what?never mind
