My God, My God…why have you forsaken me? (A Gold for One Month Scholarship Challenge)
Profile avatar image for WritersMuse

Blame

My God, My God!

Why have you foresaken me?

Funny how I blame you

As if I've lived my life perfectly

I feel foresaken, though I abandoned you first

I apologize that I only yield to you

When I'm down and at my worse

My God, My God!

Why have you foresaken me?

Thats how I feel but not merely what I mean

Cuz even when I'm empty

You're the only thing I need

That's what I say

But I have never been content with that

I abandon you but when I'm down

I come running back

My God, My God!

I'm sorry I've foresaken thee

I should know to trust your timing

It shouldn't take pain and heartbreak

For me to be reminded

Shall We

You were like the music I would dance to

I'd turn you on, then continue to replay you

You spoke with so much certainty

and I respected all your confidence

Did it for my attention I'd be wrong to not acknowledge it

Smoove but yet so bold and so many other things,

A perfect combination of the tango and the swing

From latin to street dance and everything thats in between

You are still the greatest thing I've seen

How you tailored your approach,

To be sure you wouldn't lose

And filled me with a passion that made me want to move,

Filled me with feelings that I just wanted to use

So when you held out your hand,

You just knew I couldn't refuse

When you said

So shall we dance with no fear

As I put my hands in places,

That'll make you remember I was here

We can slow dance to "If This World Were Mine"

Moving to the song as I'm gazing in your eyes

So shall we Carpe Diem

And we stay here together from the A.M. to the P.M.

Cuz you captivate my soul

and make me cancel all my plans

So please just take my hands when I ask you

Shall we dance?

WritersMuse in Words

Love

Uplifts Your soul and

Elevates your mind

Makes you feel so good

But hurts you so bad at the same time

A continuum of emotions

Challenge
Write a short love poem. The catch is that the first sentence must have seven words, and the following sentences should countdown until you have only one word for the last sentence. Basically 7 words, then 6, then 5, etc.
Love comes in numbers.

Timeless

My love for you knows no limits

But as we age with time

Time for us gets diminished

Like old school classics

One thing's true

Love is

Timeless

Prideless Cry

Yesterday I cried,

Emotions started to rise,

From all his constant lies,

Love knows no pride

Music

The kind of love that we had, it was genreless

Rollercoaster of emotions it was, Vivian Green

See I hated you, then loved you, then I hated you again

But that sexual healing was the best i've ever had

When I met you I was vibing with you

You were like the lyrics to my instrumental

My kryptonite, the only thing that made me sentimental

That love song that be addressing all the deeper issues

You know that song that you turn up everytime that it comes on?

You sing along as if you feel it in your soul?

That was you, for me

You were my Xscape, you were my R&B

Cuz' I could count on you to give me TLC

And anytime I had an issue with a dude I couldn't settle

I would hit you up and you would get that heavy metal

Cuz' when it came to me you couldn't control it

So I became Chuck Berry, If you was Rockin' I was Rollin'

I was yo pop, you were my funk and it was crazy

We went together like house music in the 80's

The relationship we had was built from music like we're Lucious and Cookie

Whether it be hard rock or that disco boogie

You let me know you love my style and my jazzy attitute

How I never did you wrong even when I had the blues

See all this music that I loved, with you I lived it

And even though we didn't work you're still the realest

My best friend, you'd be forever my homie

Cuz unlike Hip Hop you never changed on me
