Last night I held a star

Bore it from the backdrop of infinity

It was delicate in its twinkle

Intricate in design

And I marveled at its divinity

It’s brightness bled through my veins

And it’s beauty stood still

Filling my empty places with promise of purpose

A star is an endless bloom that not even time can consume

Time revolves around the star

Both in concert

A courtship that pushes and pulls

Time lingers and tarries behind the star

Always within reach but never in its grasp

There is no rival no race nor restitution owed

The star stands alone

Wholesome in its glory

Unapologetic in its burn

I thought that darkness was its enmity

For the darkness too holds its own light unforeseen

Vulnerable and vast

But the darkness is not at odds

Darkness is the confidant, the crossed lover and familiar spirit

The star recognizes the light within

Yet does not fear consumption nor competition

It beckons to the darkness to do what time could not

Last night I held a star

Light on light

Finger to finger, a spark of creation

Full of gravity, fusion, and collapse

A fateful beginning

To a never ending evolution

I didn’t even know I was numb

When familiar pain

Starts to feel like home

You wallow in it

You lock the doors, close the blinds

Don’t let them see your scars

You dress it up, try it on

The bruises become beautiful

The pain becomes pleasure

And you long to be hurt in the same way

Because you’ve disguised numbness for healing

And he’ll leave you

Cold and hardened

So when the next one comes along

And tells you you’re beautiful

It’ll mean nothing to you

You’ll take issue with his kind deeds and gestures

Because you’re waiting for the same familiar pain

To take root again

She found forever in a dream

A stillness the monotony of life couldn’t offer

A peace beyond measure

Measured in silence in a place sound can’t break

She found forever in a dream

Where the ailments of time couldn’t reach her

What could you do with forever

I fell in love wit a sag still got the arrow in back to prove it

Breathin hard now lungs is fillin wit fluid

Remember when u said i was ur world

And U was afraid to lose it

Well Now I’m Pluto

A knocked up Juno

Had to block u on every app

Somehow I’m feelin like the culo

Signs.

Why they never been good to me

Stick to myself now cuz I’m the real pedigree

Signs.

I’m tryna elevate

But what’s higher than high

When the signs in the sky don’t even want u to survive

Back when I had a Gemini jus felt like I was drowning

Took a C-section to my dreams

Right when I was crowning

He was clowning

Why u always feel misunderstood

Lauryn Hill Lost One

U put ur key in this ignition without checkin what’s under the hood

But yo its good

Don’t need them twins in my life

Scratched records repeating everything twice

Everything twice

They go in cycles

One minute love u and the next they’ll fight u

So u know I gotta keep my guard up

1 against 2?

Man

U know I had to squad up

Signs.

Why they never been good to me

Stick to myself now cuz I’m the real pedigree

Signs.

I’m tryna elevate

But what’s higher than high

When the signs in the sky don’t even want u to survive

I fell in love wit a Scorpio.

Damn.

You fell in love wit a Scorpio?

Shit was fire

Teena Marie desire

Like a drug to my brain man I couldn’t be no higher

It was everything my body needed

Didn’t know he split me half

Til my union had succeeded

Lesson learned

Same fire that’ll warm be the one to make u burn

Same one cuddled up be the one that’ll turn quick

Flapjack

Same mouth spreading lies was just on my dick

Signs.

Why they never been good to me

Stick to myself now cuz I’m the real pedigree

Signs.

I’m tryna elevate

But what’s higher than high

When the signs in the sky don’t even want u to survive

Fuck it.

I’m at the point where I’ll date myself

So I fell in love wit an Aries

That’s when I offd myself

I’m just looking for a love that’s gon be astronomical

I don’t ask for anything less than what I am

And man my shits phenomenal

Took the arrow out my back now I bleed slow

Leaving bodies of my body everywhere I go

I’ll be honest man I moved on but I hurt still

I looked up and they long gone but u know words kill

I put my knee to the floor crown to the ground

I put my trust in the lord

Lost one found

I’m just tryna wake up new and be better than my trauma

I’m tryna elevate where the airs thin

But I been in the sauna

I’m birthing dreams again and this time imma call Em karma

Don’t need no fake love

No need to flex when u the realest
