Love is Blind

by Myesha Clarke

All you see in your life is pain
no love, no lie, but its blind
everytime I see you
You can’t even look in my eyes
you got four kids by this coward
don’t let him take what’s not his from your heart
Love is blind and it takes over your mind
You called me on the phone late at night telling me
How he left you in the dark with no food to feed your kids
I tell you get a job and make something out of your life
Walked out the Benz door outside and suited up
He bought you diamond rings to make you fall for him
One day you’ll realize how bad he hurt you

She Goes Back

by Amber Williams

He beats her as if she is the enemy 

But that’s what she calls love 

They fight over the kids  

But she just makes excuses 

She says she is done and leaves 

But she goes back 

She tells me not to let this happen to me 

But I learn from my mom 

She is a care giver 

But she gets no kind of love 

She cries and she drives away

But she goes back 

Their love, mixing baking soda & vinegar 

Foaming up and over

Their over whelming fights 

Overflows and leaves a mess

It affects everyone near

But she goes back 

Their Conversations turn into arguments 

But he’s left with the blame 

She insults his family 

But he can not defend them

She manipulates his soul 

But he likes it

Being a punching bag, “I wish you would boy!” 

But he does what he’s told 

She leaves him with the mess 

But all he could do is stress

She drives away worrying 

He wants her back 

Beep beep! The sound of the cars honking their horns.

As he comes to her door

Heartlessly being carried

The green light yelled at us

As the other cars rode passed

But she goes back

She could’ve should’ve would’ve, but didn’t

But he isn’t bothered

She’s chosen to birth me

But I am left with the pain

Their love is cruel kindness

But she goes back

He beats her as if she’s the enemy

But that’s what she calls love

They fight over of the kids

But she just makes excuses

She says she is done and leaves

But she goes back
