Black Poetry : Between Us

[cocobutterskyn]

Ever
give up something
you know makes living life easier
someone who softens a day and nights aren’t as
dark as they used to be?

I
don’t want you
for a season I want you
for all times

do you know I love you?

I
do

but…
I sense time
is running out for us
and I’m scared

urgency is in my heart

I
really
need to get through
to you

I
want to get through
to you

before…

I’m
through
with
you

we
are slipping
fast
losing ground

I want our journey to last

but
the end seems near
and
I’m really scared
frustration breathes in me
disgust creeps in breeding reluctance
to engage in what I once loved
in you

I remember when
enthusiasm came with a mare
thought of you
and
sweet after-thoughts of
our conversations tickled me
into a warm grin

I want that again

I’m not looking for
you to change

I just want you to
bend a little so we can be friends in
peace not in war
because…

I can’t do this anymore.

I love
so many things
about you

but…
the one thing I hate
haunts me


I

hate

you

yes… sometimes… I do
for not accepting some responsibility
for the trouble times we are in

I
reflect
on us constantly
attempting to find the place
where drama came in
to play

drama isn’t a stranger

but…

lately
its been too d*mn close
and its wearing me thin and its not just
on my end

blameless… I’m not

but…
for you I’m ready to put
my faults on the table and curve
my appetite

I don’t want much
say…
a little
consideration

aren’t I worth it?

I
want us
to do what it takes to make
us a lifetime thing

I know you are worth it

I don’t want to change you

I

love

who

you

are

I just
want you and me
to find the peace we lost
between us

Can we do this?​
