I needed you stick around
For when I was starting to drown
But you decide to be a clown
That clown I only see in my nightmares
A clown that only got jokes because you're "love" is a hoax
But we don't even gotta call it that
See there's a difference between someone you can laugh at them someone you can laugh with
And I admit sometimes I do think of love as a myth
But I still like to think that love's the one thing you can't change
I think it's this kind of strange,
Abstract idea, that man came up with while he was high
High above us
Because it's the one thing you can't exchange,
Wait but don't interrupt me,
I think I'm onto something
I think that if we all dig a little deeper
Using more than a twig
Then maybe we could think like that man
But then again what do I know?
I remember asking my cousin about her ex, and she just simply said "love ends."
And I sat back thinking that can't be it
Love can't end, it's one of the only things worth fighting for
Love can bend
All the rules,
Love can't sink,
Just like trying to blink back an ocean can't work because that ocean has to flow it can't be held back, you can't take a train off its track
Just like you can't take love off its course true love can't end. It can't because then what do men have to live for?
Shopping at the store?
Browsing on their phones?
Eating ice cream cones?
Because they decided that the ice-cream was too sweet
That'll be when I believe you, when kids stop eating candy, when moms stop baking cakes, when dads stop throwing the football around
I'll believe love ends
When the bond between a mother and a daughter can't mend again
I'll agree when you say true love isn't real
When I can't enjoy another meal with my father
But until then I know true love is real
And I know it can heal even the worst souls
So you still have hope
But since I know you don't give not one shot about what's real then you can go and live off your dope and never learn how to cope like a big boy
So you know what keep being societys toy
Like someone smart once said
"to tell you the truth I don't listen to you cuz I don't like being lied to"
And since that's the only thing that comes out of that black hole in your face
And since you haven't used your brain since the iPhone 6 came out
You can go and try to steal someone else's soul
See unlike everybody else I know that you don't eat the forbidden fruit
So you can go and persuade someone else to take a bite out of your poisened apple
Need I remind you my name isn't Snow White but that doesn't mean im not the princess in this story
I'm just a smarter princess that has a cuter name
That might sound vain but in this day us girls need to learn how to have some confidence
So stop listening to the world telling us
How to be and what to do and what to say and how to say and how to think and how to act and what to write and how to write
That's why you got the music sounding the same
That's why you got some of these artist spitting the same words over and over
Now if I'm honest I have no idea how to end this poem but I hope that you saw what I wanted you to see and no sweetie I'm not telling you what to be I'm just letting you know that who you are now should be who you want to be not who he told you he liked, So princess
Put your shirt back on
Pull your pants back up
Grab your shoes and leave
Stop trying to be the slut of your story because you know better than anyone that no one cares about your dares
And you, you are a princess (no matter what your tryna fake) so gp ahead put your crown back on its been lonely at the bottom of your MK purse.
