This Body
This body is not an apology
This blacked out mirror
This blacked out skin
This skin like shadows
This shadow makes noise
This "bitch don't make noise"
This scream but no noise
This scream but not listened to
This listened to but not heard
This fuck what you've heard
This fucking but not love
This backdoor black love
This unconditional love
This God
This body is not an apology
This hand is a blanket
This blanket cover yo bruises
This bruise is how he loves
This "why he gotta love so hard?"
This "why is love so hard?"
This "not the same when you love so hard"
This heartbreak, but you loved so hard
This heartbreak tells stories
This story read backwards sound like nightmare
This nightmare about the beautiful boy with the sad, sad eyes
These sad, sad eyes belong to this body
This nobody
This somebody
This body is not an apology
This offered me nothing but your apology
This offered me nothing but your sorry
This sorry but tomorrow will be better
This tomorrow don't come around like it used to
This "why you don't come around like you used to?"
This type of love don't come around like it used to
This love
This unconditional love
This God
This body is not an apology
