p i e c e s (part II)

I’m scared to live another day
Not sure if this pain will ever go away
The hurt I’m going through has been like no other
I have needles in my heart
This love will soon turn into hate
If I could let him go, I would’ve months ago

My nights are getting better
I’m sleeping more & more consistently
I doze off with hurt in my heart
I wake up with love on my mind
I’m dreaming less & less

I’m facing another day without him
Another day to review my mistakes
I was holding on too long
While being his stepping stone
I was being played by an Angel
Love doesn’t get any better than this

In my head, I already let him go
Now I’m waiting on my heart to follow
Soon, I will be free from this
Until then
Another day of me picking up the pieces

inLOVE

I finally fell in love today
I looked at him & something was different
He wasn't like the others
A glow to him made my heart believe

He looked back at me and smiled
He knew my thoughts, he knew my heart
We’ve known each other for a while now
We almost lost each other through our way of life

We came together today
unplanned and un-designed
He told me he will never leave me
until God separates us

He is the perfect image of my heart
Loving me hard, loving me safely
He spoke to me this morning in my dreams
Telling me I had no more worries

He was going to take care of me
Watch out for me
Console me
Protect me

He was my bodyguard through life
I’ve never experienced a love like this before
This was uncommon to my mind
He loved me deeply & told me with a sincere look

I stared into his eyes for a few minutes & smiled
He smiled back
I gently put my hand on his chest to feel his heart beat
Precisely like mine

This wasn’t a dream
He was actually real
I finally fell in love today
A long time coming

How selfish of me to forget about myself?
