Words Hidden In My Heart

I wish you would have told me that you needed me to hide you
you wore a shroud of love but hid from me the truth inside you
its my friends and family I cry to
because I just got lied to.
There is nothing worse
anger spewed in verse
my very shirt
I would have given you off my back
and you lacked the energy to fight for me
or take the time required
to inspire
yourself
to make changes
to take steps
because you weren't ready yet
and yet and still you told me
and consoled me with lies
and I tried
to defend you
when others saw the signs
my mind and heart were devoted and coated
with integrity to you
to us
and my faith and hope
simply wasnt enough
I guess I lust
so much for the love of us
that I forget about the love of you
the things you wouldnt do
or didnt know how and
now
I'm left in confusion
because you got to abusing my love
and had no clue
because you are often caught up in
how people are loving YOU
but what about loving me
enough to be
more than you ever strived to become?
Growth and success are something to be pursued
and you seldom go for it, but continuously say
you want some.
My love you was hidden in my heart
for the longest of time
but you hid yourself from me
and now feel like you were never mine.
How can someone tarnish and mar
a love so true?
you hid yourself from me
so did I really love YOU?

K-Ci & Jo-Jo Come Clean.... : REVIEW

When I heard that K-Ci and Jo-Jo were coming out with a reality show documenting their experience going through rehab, I was excited. The first thing I wanted to know was which one was K-Ci and which one was Jo-Jo (yes, it has been that long since I have seen let alone heard of them since highschool). I always loved Jodeci and when the two lead singers of the group branched off and made a few ballads I looked forward to hearing more, but more never came. Years passed by and I continued to play their hits and came to terms with the fact that this group was never going to reunite and the two brothers whose vocals lead the group to super stardom with were coked up and out for the count. Enter K-Ci and Jo-Jo: Coming Clean. I figured they were going to finally boot the snow blizzard that packed their nostrils. WRONG. They are kicking the alcohol habit. They claim that there was never a drug problem. We all have heard otherwise, but they insist. If moscato can turn me into what these t...

Admit It, You're Bitter!

For most, dating isn't easy (see " Dating Game (s) post). Can I be honest? I have no idea on where to begin! With each failed relationship, after sulking and licking your wounds one would hope that they have at least learned something from the experience. As much as we invest in these relationships, even after their demise we should hope to take something away from it. Whether that means that you no longer have tolerance for someone who doesn't make you happy, or finally realizing someone who only changes their underwear on special occasions may not be the right person for you... the bottom line is that you have standards. For me, standards were truly created and defined after navigating the terrain of turbulent relationships. Its not that I hadn't a clue of what I wanted in a partner, its just that a few go-rounds with the wrong person will let you know what you DON'T want in a partner. Negative experiences will often leave me far less receptive ...

The First Time: Act Like You Know

" You know I care about you", he whined. He always seemed to whine when he was trying to persuade her. His brown eyes were wild and pleading. She didn't want to. She couldn't put a finger on why she didn't or when she would, but she just didn't. He still kept at it. What was a conversation became a debate. Every sentence said was in the form of an argument. He was stating his case. Why was he so passionate? "I'm not going to go anywhere. You know that." His frustration became apparent. He was annoyed with her for being so indecisive. He was impatient. He didn't want an answer, he wanted "the answer". She began to feel nervous. He did care for her, she knew that ... he isn't going anywhere... she knew that . Why was it so hard to give in? He finally relented with a few cuss words and turned his back to her. She felt like she upset him. Her nurturing instinct told her to make him feel better. She touched his shoulder, be...
