It's the way your smile blinds the morning sunrise
It's how the twinkle in your eye outshines the stars in the sky
It's the flapping of your lashes, like pretty wings causing a beautiful butterfly effect
Make Me Say It
I'm short on Air Supply. My
lungs can't hold much but still I give you all in me
Your loving touch lifts me 3 Feet High and Rising
And given a chance, our souls would dance a minuet
on the rings of Saturn and rest in the Arms of Orion
Behind every great man is a greater woman - you are the
Vibranium in my spine: infested my timeline
The weight of the world gets heavy at times I swing at air
like a boy in the hood but you always have my back and for that...
Make Me Say It
I see the active, smoke-filled battlefield
Bullets bouncing off walls, bombs bursting in air
Star-spangled banner burning with hopes and dreams
A war unlike the worlds has ever seen, happening at your core
You try (best you can) to masquerade the carnage with forced conversation
and fake pleasantries but I See You, silently begging for peace and quiet
Eyes cry a Nile just to have time stop...passing you by
I See You
Let me be your Capt'n America
Shield you from chaos and allow you to have a moment...
not to be a wife. A daughter. A sister, best friend nor auntie,
for however long that may be
Just know you can always find refuge here...
with me
