Oh Hell No

No


I thought you had been prayed away.


I thought I had stomped you into oblivion.


I thought I had become overwhelmed to the point where


God decided I had had enough.


Latched on secretly


Piggyback


Onto the semblance of realness


against a smooth surface

 
( like a Trojan horse


You were? )


Oh no, not you again.


Oh hell no.


I thought it was time for me to be blessed.


Oh no, not you again.


Oh hell no.


Were you sitting


watching?


biding your time?


With your leaning on my every word


Stroking my


ego like no other.


lurking


around corners


like a cat


patiently waiting?


The epidermis of the heart


sand paper-like.

 like bones that have been hollowed out. 
collapsing under it's weight. 


Oh no, not you again.


Oh hell no.






You’re here.


Damn.


latched on secretly


like a Trojan horse.


Were you waiting for the right moment


until the moment


I told myself


I could love and trust someone again


for you to make your presence known


for you to attack the most vulnerable part of me-


my heart?


Yes.

Sunny Side Up

I'm going to pretend 
you never existed,
and if you never existed,
then you never broke my heart.
and I can go through life 
feeling hopeful,
knowing that somewhere
God has a love 
with my name on it.

About Me

My photo
First of all, I love GOD. Proud Christian here! I love the smell of baked goods, seeing dads with their sons at the barbershop, couples walking down the street holding hands, I love my friends and their kids and their dogs and cats and my cats. I love poetry, jazz, old school R&B, Hip hop, Gospel, House, architecture, writing, and baking. I love compliments about my baking, I love Paris, Scarborough Ontario, Latino culture, nappy hair, and the sound of kids laughing. The first thing I do every morning after I crawl out of bed is get on my knees to thank God for letting me see another day. I invite you to join me on this journey on this thing called Life, where you might laugh, cry, and perhaps be enlightened along the way! I might be enlightened as well, based on your responses to my posts. For collaborations: daij62@gmail.com
