"A Love Patient"

"A Love Patient"

Written by Chi Money

born in a city where her lust for love, these sins shackled

knowing very well God warned her not to touch the Big Apple

the first boy she'd meet, goes back a ways now

where they'd grow as one, hold hands n play house

both were so young, lookin forward to the rest of their lives

as they would then fall in love.. way a head of their time

she was about to be 8, invited him to her birthday bash

not knowing it would come to be the worst day had

cuz he had a jerk face Dad.. who got shit faced on bacardi

and killed his son in a car crash, on the way to her party

wishing to see the light again, as she blew out the candles

sitting in the forshadows of her life, as still two of em crackled

become overwelmed, as she traveled in nature

carrying a coach bag.. but got bagged by the players

dated out the clubs with those who couldnt walk the walk, wasted

now aware that she was looking for love in all the wrong places

she'd tried finding a relationship, before finding herself

close to losing what she has left, like her mind n her health..

all the while in her journal, she jotted down her trials n tribulations

mistakes, verses new life long lessons.. creating a bible of innovation

her smile? instantaneous.. when she met a new love

after that new high it gave her, like it was the next to do drug

but then got tired of the rush, so quit wit the pain it withdrawls

getting closer to living in her own shadows, that painted the walls

　

she then noosed the strings, to her newest swing

had a new perspective, yet the view confused her dreams

n everything she knew, it seemed.. but choosed to see

the useless things.. that now werent as big as they used to be

so as her heart grew diseased.. love was the only remedy

growing old, she's seventy.. holding memories as a lonely entity

after tons of times, the love she'd find, she hoped was magical

making the most compatible.. broke, not even close to casual

but lookin back, she wouldn't have lived it any differently

even when she passed the pearly gates n was hit wit an epiphany

...found her soul mate from the past, who's last age was seven

so as their eyes met again.. it was truly a match made in heaven

wit the final chapter of her life

she turned the last page, which sentenced

a forshadowing that she'd write

with her past ways as reference

...
