At Night I Cried Your Name


I feel your lips straight down to my hips I’m feeling so sure, I want you even more you called my name and I jumped up and came we talked for hours until they made us get off for days at night I cried your name as you did mine but we got better cause the next day I knew you was mine for some reason I can’t eat, sleep or drink without thinking of you how can this be? I don’t even know you I don’t even think I need to know you I’m your princess and your my Prince Charming because the truth is there before the history can unfold I take this oppertunity to make everything to be better before the story is told we mold our lives together to make it to what we want to be for we are one and we see not another my heart beat matches to yours as we step to our own beat and it makes our own sounds it is us walking down the street holding hands laughing at every joke each one of us says but soon that will come to an end for you crossed the line, disrespect I might add you got another woman pregnant, doesn’t that make it your sixth child? Caution is what I guess you can’t seem to get, for you says it was an accident but you knew what you were doing you say you were drunk but you were sober you said, “what?” But you know “what” stop with the lies my heart is broken torn into pieces I picked them up slowly for one day I wish you’d come along side to pick up the rest of the pieces for I am done trying cause trying ain’t getting better I moved to to find someone to take care of me like no other I got my daughter Jasmin who constantly asks “Where is my father?” and the answer I give her, if only you knew who is was.

This is a very intense poem, and deals with many important issues, including pregnancy. My favorite line is "my heart beat matches to yours as we step to our own beat and it makes our own sounds" because it shows how two people can have a very deep connection to each other.
