::: First Place Woman :::

After all this time
Your future doesn’t recognize my face
She was previously molded to fit that place
In my world, when you constantly give and take
Like our bodies seem to create…a bond
Scripting our signatures on loves blank canvas
Signing loves promise
Every night shared – one more paragraph on the contract
You act… Like nothing is bounded
Truth to love you could never see--Your ink fades too quickly

I sit back and wait for your life to complete itself
While I sit back alone upon the top shelf
Every night you capture a little more of myself
My scent, my skin, my touch…my love
You embrace yourself in my skin every night
Along with the mornings light
Comes an empty space
What was love the night before – just walked out my front door

When our canvas was painted
It was seen through loves delirious eyes
All the blue was really darkness in disguise
Love felt like living an illusion
Causing my third eye to become blind and paralyzed by confusion
Truth is…. up until this very day
Your love was everything I just could not put away
Yeah, I knew it was time to move on but
I stayed
I stayed until all of my desire was wrapped inside the palm of your hands
I stayed and carried the heavy load of your burdens until I forgot who I am
After all this time... your future doesn’t recognize my face
Why should I stay around only to fall in second place
Sweetheart don’t get it twisted and
Don’t you dare forget
That I am a first place
Woman
