Dear Beautiful


Dear beautiful,

You were the one of dreams, you were the one that I need

You were the one that helped me be a man, the one that set me free

You’re me pulse, without you I would flat line

I write poems about you, just as a pastime

I’m looking at your man, and I notice it

I don’t mean to be vulgar, but I thoughts are inappropriate

For the unassuming viewer, but that’s not what you were

Because you were more than that, he was the winner, now I’m the loser

But the news you gave, put me in a state of emergency

I’m losing my mind, going insane, states of urgency

This news is fire, its pain, like a burn to the third degree

Because to say that you might die is like fate trying to murder me

There was nothing I could do when you said that you have cancer

It’s like someone gave me a one question test and I didn’t know the answer

But it is my job to be here when you get out the hospital

To show you all the presents and the things that I got for you

To let your mom and god know, that I’m watching you

Because what I am about to do is something that I got to do

I gotta stay here because this is not optional

When you call like At&t I am never dropping you

But, today isn’t about me, today is about you

Was going to tell you that I loved you when I saw you, but I didn’t and I was about to

Bu then I realized that you need more love and care than a house do

I didn’t know how to love and you were the one that showed me how to

I know what I’m saying is too deep and all heavy

But you’re not even gone and I’m missing you all ready
