I Cant Make You

I cant make you love me

When you don’t

Cant wrap my finger with eternity

When you won’t

Fill an empty nest with chatter

It doesn’t matter

I have been dethroned and you are gone

Better to be blind

Replaying past fragments in my mind

Making up excuses

Of how you used to…make me feel

It was so surreal…

We were too much like different

Togetherness was infrequent

Six degrees of separation

Separated our intentions

So many reasons to stay apart

Yet so few to stay together

No sense in pretending

Spinning lies and accusations

Its frustrating …stressful…cause

I cant make you love me

When you don’t

Cant wrap my finger with eternity

When you won’t

Fill an empty nest with chatter

It doesn’t matter

I have been dethroned and you are gone

I am a girl raised in the south

Throwing hot grits in the air…aint fair

To the one that is starving for attention

Heated grease to frying pan

Sizzles more than any attempt

To make I.. your woman… and you.. my man

I understand

Yet

 In a sentimental mood

This Coltrane's patience is skewed

Knowing you

Have hooked up with Karma

A b***h of a certain hue…baby

I cant make you love me

When you don’t

Cant wrap my finger with eternity

When you won’t

Fill an empty nest with chatter

It doesn’t matter

I have regained my throne

But you know I..I ..I.. Loved you

And now

Im through.

Relationships are hard but even harder when you are in one...alone. I love this piece!
