Undress my cool

she said baby get comfortable
and I
unlaced my swagger
i kicked them off and neatly sat them at the end of my day
i
allowed the softness of her soul to engulf my cool
as she began to unbutton my bravado
she placed her hands against my shoulders and massaged away my strut
she said this was home
so
easily i put away my savage self
and let my lion become a lamb
i didnt need my cockiness
so i folded it away and placed by the door
she sheltered my soul so i could be free
she took the time to learn the inner me
we knew that outside this was something i couldnt be
she knew that on the streets my swagger was stashed in my waistban
my lion walked without a leash
so tonight she sat it all neatly at the end of my day
soft kissed took all of my stress away
and her heartbeat
allowed me
to be
uncool
