Exit
I’m already knee deep with no exit plan
Tryna take it off my shoulders
Put it in my hands
Toss it in the air
Won’t watch where
It will land
Hopefully the sand where my feet are
The quick sand that will swallow you whole
But only if you let it
I need a map!
I need help!
No, no, no I can do this myself!
The map is already there in my mind
Deep breathes, close my eyes, Count to 10
The “exit” is always within
Maybe it was just the drugs
Maybe there was no love there
Memories like dreams
Delicately held, handled with care
Were we ever sober ?
At any time before it was over ?
The harsh reality we could honestly never bare.
There was never hope
We were high
We even toked through our last goodbye.

You…
You –
You confuse me
You wake up in a good mood and make me think you choose me
Get in a bad mood and care for me so loosely
I gotta ask, do you just use me ?
I…
I –
I’m a riot
But for you ? I be quiet.
So do you love me yet ?
Damn
Okay.
I’ve been going through
You just go around it
We end up in the same spot
Now you mad astounded
You tried to shortcut
Not realizing it’s a myth
Now you fucked up
Asking for another fifth
You might think I’m worst off
Because we’re in the same place
But baby, first off, we not in the same race
See this is my starting point
And you’re already through
I’d rather be in the joint
Than be anywhere with you
You already know.
Chest pains
Exacerbated by the dagger
You stuck in my heart
We made love
We made art
We painted pretty pictures
Of a life we’d soon start
But it all was a farce
