Nikki Giovanni
Gifted
If a present is a gift
And is no gaurentee
I Charished what I had
Never to see love again
I've fallen in and out
From loving you
I’ve fallen deeper wrongful
Thoughts from the truth
Deeper into thoughts
Who'd I'd love more
I made madden decisions
To search for love
Here, there , anywhere
Butterflies hidden inside
I’ve grown fund of
Wrong indecision's
Of the roles I played
From the men I desired
Selfishly a lyrical soul once played
On leaving them heartless
An institution of non-commitments
To hear me crying in the storm
To throw tear drops in the ocean
Screaming for clashing tides to open up
Into collapsing waves I once desired
To be held and told I was pretty
He came into my life
And promised me treasures
Until the well dried
And left me homeless
