...love?

What happened to love
& innocent flowers
Replaced with roses and demanded power
Reflections of yourself begin to dissolve
As u resolve to
Be
What he
Needs
Wants
And then what do you do
You cant allow [that] to shake you
You are more than just “some woman who needs a man”
Let a man need you
Want you…
& its true, it seems a little painful sometimes
To see others in a respectful relationship that you feel you deserve
Don’t worry
GOD will give you what you need & most times what u desire
Whether it be that geeky guy, or the one who is “fly-er”
Than most
One you can brag about and say “This is My Man”...

but don’t give a man a title if its one he doesn’t deserve
Ooh that gets on my nerves to see women
Settle.
Settle on things that they know that hurt them
& why. why cry when that dude is right infront of you and wont even look you in your eye.
Or say a simple hello, or even a lame hi
When he sees you.

What happened to love?
You know the sweet little innocent puppy love,
You know the one we all believed in until people thought love believed in sex…instead of making love [u shud wait anyway]
And then people started believing in sex

And communication solely through text
It’s a mess
And I will wait

Be comfortable with myself until God himself blesses me with love

…then I know it won’t go anywhere and won’t have to ask questions like:
Where did love go, you know, a love that’s true…
