Love Story

This was a song i wrote 6 years ago. Its about a woman and I and our love exhausting and decaying due to our lifestyles.

would you come back to me?
baby no i wont please,
understand as we grow we go deep in a land,
with no understanding,
we were more like enemies,
but you were my girlfriend.
u see i wonder as i sit here, baby so lonely.
could we ever make it better it feels cold when you hold me.
i know i argued too much, i would never let it go
and u said mean things, like everybody don't no how ur smile would glow,
when i would walk u home and what could i say if i would call u on the phone?
that im scared of love? it hurts too much?
so i run at the jab of any sharp touch
i was leaving ur side leaving u cry,
and u learned to practice me out of ur mind.
then u learned how to run too,
so i came back to u doing coke,
what the f**k yo.

can u stand the rain?
for an ounce of pleasure theres a pound of pain.
i cant take the pressure,
i cant come aback again.
somewhere in my heart i knew it wouldn't be right.
somewhere in the dark theirs supposed to be light.
somewhere from afar day comes after the night.
somewhere i went too fast and baby i lost sight.
to each other it seemed heaven sent,
but after a nut and a kiss i found heaven bent.
zig zagging on the streets was my destiny,
it seems as im closing my eyes
feeling my life slip like im ready to die
i found out that it went,
god put me on this earth but didn't promise me s**t.
you remember that girl, and be strong like i told ya,
i was ur man, dick, daddy, and soldier,
right this second i would kill just to hold ya,
just to have u beside me,
id rip  these f*****g walls down if u were behind 'em.
if i kissed u on the cheek could u hold back a smile?
its for u i turn weak, though im stronger than iron.
this song is for you, incase you been crying.

crying on my shoulder,
i had to be tough.
and act like i don't know u because we've been through enough,
i left u on your own, ur living rough,
now i have a home but i'm stuck without love,
beautiful smile, makes me wanna cry when ever i think,
instead of looking in the mirror, u just stare at the sink,
scared of what u cant bare, the appearance of urself and what u do,
causes terror got u runnin because its f*****g with ur mood,
your sniffing blow behind the backs, of everyone that cares
so when they stare u stay blind to reality as if it isn't there.
so where did you go?
while you're singing where'd u go?
and we're both high as s**t.
crying on the stairs.
why didn't we set this all aside for just one moment instead of all these tears?

Author's Note

Some of my old stuff is a little Hip-hop-ish. But even then to me rap was just poetry with rhythm.

I really enjoyed this abrasive poem. It's funny how love and broken hearts can provide some of the best artistic inspiration.

wow this leave quite an impression! The words are very strong and I was able to get a mental picture to go alone with it. I really liked you use of words in a lot of the lines my favorite especially was, "for an ounce of pleasure theres a pound of pain" very strong words! A great work of art!

PS: Only after the second stanza do I feel more of the rap, but like you said it is still poetry :)
