I have a block
And it's....not like any other block
It's heavier than a rock
More investable than a stock
And like a boat at a dock
I am ready....to move forward
Drift at sea like buoy
Ooooh wee, I'm ready
Because this block.....it is not steady
Nor is it stationary
It requests my attention like a probationary period
As incomplete as a sentence without a……., I am

What I am is something unlike the old me
I'll give you all my soul
And I'll take whatever's left of me
But Lord knows the rest of me is nothing without you
So I'll give you all my faith and never again doubt you
See this is not about you, nor me
It's about us, we......
Are like this, endless, our hearts can't resist
And my best is not all I've got so go ahead and consume me
I'm your desolate, vacant lot
Placing the emptiness I got in a box I never bought
And kick it down the street to an old school beat
Warming my heart like when lovers first meet
When lovers first seek
They don't seek each other, they....view another
But perpetually long for the other
Who would smother them with passion
Reach their satisfaction
And give them the denominator of their insufficient fraction

"An equivalent exchange" is what you've always said
"Pretend as if you know nothing" is embedded in my head
And the discrepancies in what I've read have leaded me to believe
Generosity is contingent upon what you receive
But I've learned when you give unconditionally, the connection will never leave
The affinity will never peak
It will last till infinity
Whenever that will be is unbeknownst to me
But I definitely know together
We are the greatest
We combine to form 100%
And like a broken line I'm bent
On making every second you live in this house
Worth the rent
But, all of this is irrelevant

I am not me anymore
I am not what I’ve lead others to believe
My body cannot physically bear the scars you’ve conceived
I tried to be your everything
Thought of you more than me
But I’ve slowly started to realize that we cannot be
Together, forever
You were here for a season
Why you put your hands on me
Truthfully, I don’t know the reason
You were my main concern
Above all, even my safety
I forgot about my own life
My health was of no concern to me

But I cannot continue being with you
I love you but I will not apologize
You manipulated and violated me
And feed me your vicious lies
But I am stronger for leaving you
And happier in spirit
I wrote this poem for you
Because you’d probably never hear it

What I am, is nothing like the old me
I gave you all my soul
And this is what is left of me
