U C IT

couldnt't sleep last night

thoughts abound

I have however realized

that the situation

became less ambiguous

U C

I know who I am

insecurities  and all

I may even stretch 2 say

that I am a wee bit needy

needy for only two things

true love & companionship

but U

know that

I've watched

from afar

and constantly rewind

all that was

I C it

your needy ness

your lying mess

all of that just masking

the reality

U R needy

U have 2 many ?'s

that even U aren't willing

2 answer

w/o all of this

(hands mock confusion)

sketchin' and paintin'

pictures

Romare

that doesn't make U real

that makes U a facade

put out what it is

U R about

and not

what U want

others

2 infer

scared

say U scared

hungry

say U hungry

finished

say U finished

at least then

I could've

kept U safe

"it's ok baby"

fed U more food

from my soul

"tasty isn't it? U full baby?"

and

pat U on U'r ass

as U walk out on me

"U done baby???"

"Bye bye baby"

I already got kids
