Poetic Justice

I wrote this poem under a Leo moon, after I had been betrayed.

Moon In Leo

… something to be

Dear Diary,

Sometimes there’s just too much

And I don’t know where to start

Honest with myself,

Honest from the heart

This gonna sound so cringe

don’t even wanna write

Been having such a hard time

Since I was there that night

I didn’t and don’t wanna ruin

This thing that we got going

But I can’t keep going on

Without be fully knowing

Secrets in the shadows

What motives in the dark?

This part of the story’s over

The pain has left its mark’

Blindly I accepted

Because that’s what felt right

Now I need much more

Be honest in the light

Two sides to every coin

Call it in the air

Heads or deals my love (tails)

Do you even care?

Painful in the poem

More painful than in verse

This grief that I been carryin’

Driving ‘round up in this hearse

Such a morbid picture

but that is how I feel

Blood and bones and pain

Things that shouldn’t even be real

You found me in the darkness

Helped me see my light

We helped each other really

Two strangers in the night

The stranger in my story

The eyes that I would meet

We really met way long before

We met out on that street

Casket full of burdens

Been dragging ‘round awhile

Hadn’t felt no hope in ages

then you made me smile

I know I was meant to meet you

we first met in dream

I wasn’t supposed to know it

Till a much much later scene

That’s the part that’s hurting

Because what you don’t know

I tried to forget, you know it

Deep wounds heal way too slow

I want them all to know this

I’d change things if I could

I’d re-write some scenes if it’d fix us

That wouldn’t mean I should

These were the lines we’re given

That’s how it had to go

As much as I hate what happened

There’s something you should know

wouldn’t change your place in story

You’re all that you needed to be

Though we are ever evolving

You were the king to my queen

The King and Queen in the story

No this is not the end

It is the end of a chapter

Time for old wounds to mend

The flowers they look so pretty

The people dressed in black

This is the end of her story

The one driving that Cadillac

@->

Metaphorically dead

Who I was is now gone

I lived to retell

you all… that I won

The battle they brought me

Back from the dead

I bet y’all wish

You hadn’t messed with my head

Wait is that cryptic?

Not if you know

I already said

I won long ago

Are we taking notes now?

Talking to myself

Been bleeding thoughts out

Got some blood all on them shelves

Now I be painting pictures

Is it as clear as red?

The nightmare now in your corner

The monsters are under your bed

Are you haunted to look in the mirror?

Does the ghost haunt all of your dreams?

How is that nightmare you tried to serve

How dare you try n fuck with me

Kind but not weak

She’s just pretty and dumb

No you dumb bitch

That’s where you were wrong

I knew your whole game

I watched as you played it

The reason they sent me

Because I’m the greatest

I know y’all scared

That’s why you be spying

Keep running your mouth

We all know your lying

I tried to warn others

They needed to know

And know it is time

That I let it all go

The path set out before me

No choice but to walk

Crazy, you know it

It evened the clock

Now that’s how we got here

And here is where we stand

Mysterious stranger

That appeared in my land

The path has not been easy

I’ve struggled quite a lot

The moments in darkness

Yo those, yeah, they were rough

Walking away, it would be easy

It’s just what I do

This time with you, it was magic

Not what you said, just what I knew

It’s the way we just feel different

And how I felt your words

It’s like all the world conspired

I know that sounds absurd

But maybe, no it isn’t

That is how that I believe

The magic in the moments

Things we cannot see

The flowers draped on my coffin

The old metaphorical me

I had to die to survive this

I had to fight to be free

Only in truth is there freedom

That’s why I couldn’t let go

If we know what’s true, should we tell it?

You already know what I know

Maybe this is confusing

It wasn’t supposed to be

Reading between lines

Seeing what I see

Is there a double meaning

Hidden in the writing

The truth is still the truth

Sometimes it is worth fighting

“Too real” all up in my thoughts

Poetic eulogy

Bleeding in writing, no I’m not dying

No apologies

Beautiful corpse

Is that too far?

Are you scared of the truth?

Are you ready for war?

I have a right to be angry

Actually, full on straight pissed

Karma gonna be calling

Just be thankful that you missed

Back and forth all over this writing

What is she trying to say?

This one not only about him

Those others they be in the way

This isn’t a mausoleum

Nor a beautiful crypt

Though it’s dark and mysterious

My poem is pretty legit
