I Heart DC

A love that I never thought
I would have
It sneaked up on me
Caught me by surprise
Its treasures are nestled in
Obscure, alluring locations
Whether traveling by foot, car or rail
You provide me with captivating
Sights and sounds
A flavor unique
A treat
I Heart DC

Morning

Once again I am sitting
Pondering the reasons
But very few come to mind
Of how I am, no, was stuck
On you
With all the claims of honesty
Why shouldn't I believe you
Maybe it was your friend's honest eyes
Or the repetitive sorry lies
Or the slight changes you made
Like I did notice not
You are so unappreciative
So sad
And it makes me mad
Mad at me
For continuing, giving you another chance
One too many

All I Wanted

All I wanted was for you
To love me
To see me
For all my potential
To appropriately assess
The situation
And see that I could make it
Trying to perfect me
Will take time
I expected patience from you
Because that is what you preached
But ye of little faith
Doubt me now
Bothering me with petty things
You see my frustration
But hardly provide alleviation
I hope that the current outlook
Does not deter you from helping me
To my goals
That is why you are here
For me
To push me to greatness
But you refuse now to be here
Vacating the role that is
Necessary for immediate relief
Why would you turn from me
Leaving me to possible desperate measures
Is this to prove something to me
Or something to yourself
I am unsure
Yet I will continue
Along this path alone

Clarity

It should come to no surprise
That you wish for my demise
I assume you wanted the best for me
Want me to proceed positively
That assumption stopped short of expectation
When you showed your true colors
The anger red, the envy green, the coward yellow
Why don't you want me to succeed
Progression should be highlighted in our community
I guess it is unlikely for someone like you
To speak well and wish well of someone like me
Your ungodly desires frustrate me
Pressuring me to act out in ways that I usually do not
My past caused an effect on my present
But I will not let it direct my future
Blocking all things that have your stamp
Erasing your mark from my life
Resolving the pain and anguish you
And those like you have caused
