he woke me up\
tweaked my brain
in the middle of the night

tryna get me
to call that man
but i would not
cuz i aint forgot

how he teased me
unnecessarily
couldn't love me the way
a nubian princess should be

he tried to whisper
not to love myself
and to recap bad things
i'm tryna put on the shelf

i fell to my knees
and cried out
dear lord make him flee
he once again is trying
to destroy me

i had been tortured for
days, months and weeks
castin love to arid grounds
where the aphids had feasts

i was used and abused
i was emotioally raped
he wanted me to sit with hin
and re-watch old tapes

but i would not
cuz i aint forgot
what that man did to me
i cooked and cleaned
what did any of that mean?

so i cried a few tears
just happy God , u kept me
safely in your arms
when i acted foolishly

and it aint easy
cuz inside i want to hate
but its pointless and love
would make for sweeter cakes

so when he comes tonight
and decides to keep me company
i'll be praying before he enters
and calmly watch him flee..
