"sweet" . . . with Video and Spoken Word

SWEET

love has

broken me in a million pieces

time and time again

only to come and say

“i’m sorry”

love has walked in

and out of my life

so many times

in my dreams

and my realities

there is a rut where she has tread

leaving un-erasable footprints

in the garden of my heart

and i keep getting stuck

in the that rut

time after time

i now have a ladder

to save myself

that i will not drown

when this garden is watered

with the tears

that fill this hole

that rut

i have poked a hole

in my heart

of which it’s purpose

is to let go

of all the anxieties

that over come me

and my reason

each “Love Season”

cause when in love

we don’t think right . . . do we ?

i remember all the heart breaks

the ones i received

and the ones i think i gave

but who has time to count

for love is at my door

once more

ringing that bell

asking to borrow another cup

of my sugar

SWEET
