Melancholy Blues
I don’t love easy
but I love hard
harder than diamonds
I don’t love smoothly
I do it rough
Like the pain in a Billie Holiday song
Loving you wasn’t in the plan
the plan changed
like the weather
instant
quick
catching me off guard
I was fiercely loyal to myself
to my heart
to my needs and my wants
I betrayed them in favor of you
your heart
your needs
your wants
I don’t love easy
but I love hard
harder than diamonds
Our love is about give and take
I give
give in
give up
you take
they say diamonds are forever
nothing is
but I love hard
harder than diamonds
I don’t love smoothly
I do it rough
Like the pain in a Billie Holiday song
Loving you wasn’t in the plan
the plan changed
like the weather
instant
quick
catching me off guard
I was fiercely loyal to myself
to my heart
to my needs and my wants
I betrayed them in favor of you
your heart
your needs
your wants
I don’t love easy
but I love hard
harder than diamonds
Our love is about give and take
I give
give in
give up
you take
they say diamonds are forever
nothing is

IL Lake Effect gave you the right scripture....gon and read that.
I enjoyed this.
I felt like I was at a blues concert and I so wanted to yell...AMEN,...SANG IT SISTAH! I am so sorry you feel this way. I will keep you in my prayers.
that poem. was beautiful.
Meka, girl you are too fly! It's like you were retelling the story of me and the Circus Midget.
Looking back, I find it sooo hard to believe I abandoned myself, wants, needs and value so easily. Lessons learned, today is a new day!
Blessings to you girl!
Oh! I dont know if you saw the comment I made back to you on My Money Melts, but here it is: "Ohh Girl! You sold your Law Textbook??? LMAO! Those shoes must have been FABULOUS!! You are too funny!"
