last night
it slipped from my lips like daggers
i wanted to pretend it wasnt said
but
your movements screamed otherwise
pause
i continued to press play or fast forward
but you wanted me to repeat it
you sought confirmation in conversation
so
you went from
soft moans
to quiet tones
to
silence
your mind wondered if the words that stained your brain actually fell from my lips
and i knew then
that things had changed
i tried to rewind my mind
and ask myself if there was a way out
i closed my eyes
and searched for the exit
but every word that fell sounded like a lie
you said
muthafuqa dont lie
but the truth would ruin every thing we had
so i
thought of words that could tempt your minds third eye in to believing that fantasy was real
you knew it wasnt real
so you
covered you soul with anger
wrapped it around your waist and walked away
I wanted you to stay
but what else could i say
i watched you in my mind
and tried to blame it on the liquor
we knew it wasnt the liquor
you knew that she held on to my soul
you knew there where parts of me that she would always control
you knew that when i closed my eyes
- even in the midst of us making love
you knew that
she
was
my soul
