Nostalgia

I miss you so so so so much…

That my anger has turned to mush

My pain has melted into hurt

And that violent scream has morphed into a silent prayer

A prayer to God asking Him for a response

Asking Him to break these chains

And release me from the love of our bonds

But He keeps me awake at night

He keeps these images of you locked in sight

He told me He tried, with all His might

Even despite help sought from Goliath and

Solomon’s height, 

He has failed to efface,

Erase and eradicate this nigger from my system

Simply because I refuse to release them.
