I am a lost soul in need of direction
You are the arrow pointing me to peace
Boxed in by my surroundings
But conversing with you is my release
My fresh breath of air
My match in the darkest hour
At times Im too weak to continue
But you love has become my power
Teardrops fall like rain n flow like rivers
But your laughter could replace rays of sunlight
My feet could be glued to cement
But the sound of your voice takes me on flights
If I didnt know your name
Id mistake you as queen of Egypt
Because "Ebony" represents the strength of a black woman
when her equal needs it
If I had to picture heaven
Id take a picture of you
If I had to create a potion for beautiful
Id throw in mixtures of you
Im afraid of fire
But if you were a flame, Id let you burn me
It took 18 years to find myself
But 10 months for you to learn me
I look @ you and see my reflection
The same fight you see in me, I see in you
Women come a dime a dozen
But even if you handed them a flashlight, the couldnt hold a light to you
Wondering if there are more of you
Because you've hit me @ every angle
Feeling as pure as holy water in heaven's pond
Because Ive been touched by an angel.
