HEAVEN AINT HARD TO FIND

I see you behind that reflection of a lie…

Bald up in the corners of seclusion,

Wondering, why?

Praying to God with bruised hands,

From the abuse of a man whose only definition of love

Are bald fists & kicks to the stomach…

And he questions all the vomiting…

Not understanding he’s only less of a man,

And you’re more than your average woman…

Inside of your heart

You feel the pain rush like a sudden thunder storm…

Raining tears in the dark that forms oceans of light…

Searching for a place to escape the commotion & beatings at night…

Slowly your sight doubles –

Slightly to frighteningly…

Please see that a piece of his fist to your head

Aint the piece of mind you had in mine…

Open your eyes and dry your cries

And you’ll see that heaven aint hard to find…

But through his sex unprotected you expect for things to get better…

So naïve,

You fall for his pleading and the lies within his lust letter…

Is the pussy that much wetter when it’s deceived?

When you cum, he leaves…

Off on another journey of infidelity and ignorance…

The things you put up with is simply ridiculous…

Late night phone calls from his mistress???

Baby, you’re killing me…

I see the agony behind your smile,

But I guess the truth hurts far more than his lies,

So within them you hide…

Your pride is bigger than your dreams it seems…

I mean, Black is beautiful…

But not when it’s your eyes that are crowned queen…

Ebony princess possessed with stress & illusions…

Of this nigga being different from the rest,

But baby you’re just being delusional…

Is his dick that good???

Is he packing a foot of wood???

Does his tongue roll your clit???

Does he lick with the right passion?

Giving you multiple orgasms…

And if it is, is it worth it?

All the suffering and hurt…

For you to grow he has to go,

But you keep holding on…

To a future that promises only death or disability…

Heaven aint hard to find

If you look in my eyes…

Take my hand, and bury your pride…

And in me you’ll find stability



Tha Prodigal One...
