He looks at me careful not to show face,
as he undresses me with his eyes.
You lost one.
He holds my face as he kisses my lips,
the reflection of happiness in my eyes...
as he catches a glimpse of him in my iris he shys away..
You lost one.
He looks at me like chineese porcelean;
beautiful and delicate.
You lost one.
Im strong like plexiglass;
and Ill bend; fend; and mend anything for your @ss.
He puts me on a shelf; though high and above the rest.
If i wanted to be on display, a sign of his achievements..
along with an array of others..
Then we'd be "just friends"..
but the kind that awake in the same bed together.
You lost one.
But you have me encased...
The air between,
two cm glass panes.. leaves me sick.
The idea of sharing my space drives me insane.
You lost one.
See.. I have pride in myself.
More than money contributes to my wealth...
More than doctors to my good health.
More than Crest to my smile..
If you could walk a mile in my Minolo's.. or 2 steps in my bo'bos.. youd know.
Why i had to leave you.
Why I had to go.
You were playing checkers;
and Im playing chess.
I must confess; life is a game.
Im playing to win.
But the points dont matter until the end.
You lost one.
Game point; and I win.​
 
I didn't mean no disrespect
you know I love holdin' you close to me
I didn't voice it many times
but when we're together my thought is "now this is how it's supposed to be"
the day i first met you I was blinded by your beauty
my friend had to tap me and say "yo, keep your focus G"
no words came out my mouth
as I spoke to you thru my eyes
and you responded in like manner
so I knew right then you were wise
so I decided to predict the future
and asked if you would flow with me
anytime you miss me, or I'm not around
just look up at the night sky and view some of my poetry
right then you held me tighter
on the dance floor as we pulled an all nighter
didn't mean to step on your minolos
but the dance floor was packed
and we were slow dancin' to a hip hop tune
and some herb bumped me right in the back
I hope you're remanicin' with me
or is last night, the last time you ever gonna kiss me
will I ever feel your nails
travelin' down my six pack again
will I ever be able to wash your feet in Frankensence and Myrh
b4 your feet massage my back again
you don't want me leavin rose petals from the door to the bed
havin' me feelin' like the mack again
treatin' you like the queen you are because I love it when you say
the true God & Goddess are back again
I wasn't lookin' at you like you were porcelain
I was just stunned by your wisdom
I wasn't tryin to put you on display, my friend was havin' women trouble
& you were the first positive reinforcement I could think to give 'em
do you think I wanna ever wake up
without you layin' next to me
a lamb laying on a Lions chest
now that's a nice recipe
I know I spend some time out in the jungle
but at night, you get the best of me
I never meant for what I spent
for you to ever think no less of me
if the universe was a menu
I'd place an order for you to be next to me
but right now, are we playin' chess or checkers
I'm not sure, but I think you're still testin' me...........
