WHO'S FOOLING WHO?

I see the stripes

I hear the whips

The bags under your eye speak clearly

The offense in your heart

Stick out in your throat

As bold as Adam’s apple

But yet

Still yet

You smile

READ: BAD FRIDAY. 

 

The way you speak on phone

The smirk on your lips

The way you look at another

Is a hidden way

To hide the lust and attraction

But you cant hide the fact that

It helps to revive a little flame

It seems more like

The one that once was

When you both began

But you tell everyone

Aal iz well

READ: SEE YOUR FRIEND.

Your heart runs to another

And damn!

Phones are great

It helps you mask

That drawing from another

So you can chat till day breaks

And it gives you a form of satisfaction

And revives your smile

Even though you’re dying within

What are we playing at

Who’s fooling who

Its only the sweet pictures we see

How you guys look nice on Facebook

Insta tells us of your anniversaries

But deep down

We know

The homes are dead

Not different from graveyards

There your tongues lashes

And the whips come down

The silence becomes deafening

And you’re both worlds apart

So I ask

Who’s fooling who

What have we sown

What are we reaping?

Selah.
