The Mis-Education of the Love-Her

Inspired by Lauryn Hill, and those that know what this ride is all about... Peace

To start off,

let me be a man, and

apologize for it all

and that's not on some sarcastic s**t,

I know I was the cause...

for them late night walks to clear your mind, or

them early morning calls to your girls

I thought I could handle it; but didn't know the extent of

me being your world

your love was a drug that made my head swirl,

we coulda had a bomb-a*s wedding,

coulda had two boys and a girl, but

instead I'm here releasing the if, ands, and buts from my mind

there's few things more true than the idea of love leaving you blind, and

with that said I'ma put this thing to bed,

try and move forward,

leave regret right where it stands

I'm a man, so all I can do is clasp my hands,

and hope that you forgive me,

I apologize, baby, 'cause I'm....

(addicted to another,

this is the mis-education of the love-her,

touch her, hold her close,

as if she's your only lover

for all of those times I couldn't resist the grass on the other side,

I apologize...

and hope you get the message, 'cause I really miss ya presence

I'm feelin' like them fellas who said they walked right outta heaven...)

Missing you is my sentence.

Peace

The picture is just a picture....strictly rumor as far as I'm concerned. If there is anything implied, it's simply the photo and since 'they' are the topic of the week, I decided to use this photo. Sorry, Chris!

what an honest and heartfelt poem, and yes, it does have that lauryn hill vibe. i love your title too, man, you come up with some bomb a*s titles, you need to teach me. anyway, i like the flow of this poem, def different than your usual style, not as metaphorical, but still just as good as your others. thanks for sharing.

Nicely done, been lookin for your posts so I hopes this is just the start of a host of others.
Always got my head boppin with the rhymes, 'girls...world..swirl' and the message is just universal as far as from a man to a woman. My fave lines,

'(addicted to another,
this is the mis-education of the love-her'

That just really resonated in my mind and I wish this life be treating you kind.
Be good my friend

Very impressive! You put it out there and allowed yourself to be vulnerable, but you kept it G
I love the descriptions you give with her....

"I know I was the cause...
for them late night walks to clear your mind, or
them early morning calls to your girls"

Very dope! I love your last words(I used something similar), and I love how you express yourself to the woman!
Good s**t!

Damn thats a hot a*s apology...
"I thought I could handle it; but didn't know the extent of
me being your world"
... I dont know why but I really like this line
You are definitely one of the best writers I've had the pleasure to read
take care love:)

I can't see your photo PG but the verse is kickin'...I know the music; The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, used to have the CD. This write is all about confession and forgiveness and moving on together if its possible. Great stuff.
