My Authentic Love

A World where Love is thrown

Around like leaves on the trees,

Or rolled of the tounge in a flash.

Where it has no meaning,

No relevance, until it no longer exists.

 

In this World there is a girl.

She is guided by Darkness.

He leads her to destruction.

Only allowing others’ selfishness

To take the breath of her Love.

 

This girl’s family is neglectful and forgetful.

Her friends are the biggest thieves!

No Reciprocity found here,

They take her kindness and run with it!

But the boys in her world are the worst of all.

She mistakes the attention she gets

For authentic love.

 

But there’s another world

The girl goes to, time to time.

In that world her light glows with radiance.

Nothing but phenomenal women by her side,

And three great men support her through her grind.

 

Grandmother taught her how to love.

Momma told her save her love.

Daddy let her know how she should be loved.

Auntie opened her eyes to loving inside-out.

Sisters advised her to love herself.

 

But little do they know…..

They are the nuclei to her light!

Without out them, 

Two worlds would not exist.

 

Without MY authentic Love….

There are NO trees, NO birds or bees,

NO sun, NO light!

Just Darkness.

For REAL love is the only source to life.
