Elevate(her)
I look across my path and see her standing there
She’s got this look right on her face
I can tell somethings not right, so I asked myself
Do I mind my business and keep it movin
Or maybe walk up and do what I’m feeling, elevate her
I pick the latter and make my move
She looks up at me as I approach as if she knows what I’m here for
I asked her “how are you, are you ok?”
She gave me a slight smile and said yes she was fine thanks
Being my concerned self I asked, “are you sure?”
Of course she said no this time, but then surprised me
I witnessed her begin to break down in tears and I knew something was up
She confided in me and told me what was wrong
So I did my duty and treated her right
I don’t need to tell you all what was hurting her
You can come up with your own thoughts on that
Just know that I was there to elevate her
Make her feel higher than ever before
On a pedestal she had never known
We got back her confidence, made it her own
Sometimes I come right back to this place
Because I know that’s where she’ll be
If ever in need of me to be available
I’ll elevate her right back to where she needs to be
I’ll Keep My Thoughts
There are those days where you just can’t stand
When things at work aren’t working, you’re family is acting up
The stress built up in you has just consumed you baby
And you’re just about ready to give it all up
I’m sitting on the couch and just listening to it all
You yell and then you yell some more, things sound bad
But wait…I have my family issues too, and school aint easy either
So how about I tell you all of my troubles and concerns
And we’ll find out just how much you’ll be there for me
I wonder if you will wrap your arms around me, tell me it’s ok
Massage my temples; make my favorite for dinner
Or maybe you will just fake
And I’ll regret that I even told you anything, what are you good for
But no, I won’t do that to you sweetie
I know things are hard for you right now, and that’s fine
I’m going to be here for you now and forever, because that’s just who I am
I love you, and I want you to be happy, so where were you again..
I’ll be posting a couple new poems from urs truly on here very soon so…get ready duh :-p
