Can We Just Talk?

Bragee

Those break ups when y’all weren’t really together sting a lot more.

Especially when the love was secret & you can’t publicly mourn. 

Feeling of scorn 

Heart torn

Battered and bruised.

Watching you leave me was not something that I’d ever choose,

But you did 

And I hid 

All my emotions inside 

Like a kid

I’m forbid 

To chase you down for a retry.

Read my

Mind,

And let me express how much I miss you.

I love you...

 

Even though i shouldn’t, 

And

I know you love me, 

even though people say you couldn’t.

Love is just funny like that.

It can get us into some sh*t if we don’t control it and fight back.

It doesn’t respect wedding rings 

And other things

That we were taught are untouchable. 

Morales become adjustable. 

Relationship status….combustible, 

Because the heat between us is too hot to handle,

Making me Wish I could dismantle 

the traditional view of what a relationship should be.

Could we 

Create a new norm where it’s okay to build a life of three?

 

 

Oh sh*t......

I’ve spoken forbidden words.

Forgive me for having a different urge.

Sexist slurs

He’s a pig 

He’s a dog

I can’t even repeat some of the things that I’ve heard.

I know... it’s absurd,

But I can’t lose her,

And I 

still want you.

so

what do I do? 

A common conundrum that we hate to admit exist,

But I insist,

Let’s talk about it…….
