in your atmosphere...
Occupation
n/a
your empty promises emerged...
from the cracks of my mind,
"promises" of
"i love u"
and...
i'll never leave u again."
and i remembered...
the nights of bucking blak shadows,
and sweaty sheets,
covering our dark secrets.
and blanketing our baby-mama drama,
hiding reality from my eyes,
for that moment
those nights intimacy
u...felt....good
like a splash of fresh springwater,
ur hands holding my heart,
whispering in my ear
sweet nothings never to be
yet i was foolish enough to believe u
while the promises fell down into the abyss of fallacy
like the sweat that cascaded down ur back
in our "lovemaking" (more like ur "lie-makeing")
i let the stars lullaby me to sleep,
then i awoke at the tyme of night where
the earth pleads with the sun to merge with it,
i let my hand linger to where ur face drunk in the
midnights dreams
till the sun rebirthed u
a new day...
a new man...

only my hand felt nothing....
but the imprint on a pillow where
ur empty promises lay, and
the sweat beads that contain my tears
soaked into the sheets
and brought my mind back into reality,
u had left me,
and all i could do is just cry.

this is my favorite part:

then i awoke at the tyme of night where
the earth pleads with the sun to merge with it



Hang in there, my girl. Many people will dissappoint you in life, but it helps to remember that it's about their fears and insecurities and not anything you've done. Keep your head up and stay strong, and all the love you give out will eventually come back to you. :)
