Sunsets in the City
(by so.shauna)
Dear Bx, Walking the West Harlem Piers on 125th st I saw a green and orange butterfly like the one you had visions of in your day dreams, remembering the symbolism of new beginnings and in the back of my mind I close my eyes to complete the imagery of your body next to me. Free you would say… and signs of rebirth between us two but these feelings are hardly reborn but brand new. Unfamiliar butterflies that fill the bottom of my feet to the core of my soul fulfilling every piece I’ve ever thought that I was missing. Its the little things, trips to the corner bodega for some chopped cheese and cherry scented incense to you giving me tarot readings “What wasn’t in the cards just wasn’t in the cards” you would tell me with a smile illuminating every dark corner that lies deep within me. Only you could make me feel like a 90’s R&B joint fresh off the Menace II Society soundtrack ‘Fly Away’ by Hi Five. “If I had one wish girl it would be for you and I to fly away…” flying is the feeling of free and you make me feel free, a feeling I’ve only felt with you a feeling that without you I haven’t been able to grasp.
In a city full of people and I still feel lonely... lonely without you.
Your heart is like liquid sunsets♥️
She said you're my everything
I love you through everything
I done did everything to her
She forgave me for everything, this a forever thing
Hate that I treated like it's a whatever thing
Trust me girl, this shit is everything to me
She from the Jungle, she from the Jungle
I take somebody elses car, drive it undercover
This shit is everything to me, this shit is everything
Don't know where we stand, I used to hit you bout everything
Are we still good? - Jungle
Promises I know I made many times before
And I broke each one of them
But I had to learn over and over again
Don't hurt the one you love...
I bet if we make love like we always knew each other You’ll be searching far and wide but you wouldn’t want another Does he make you happy? If so, that’s what I’m on I be at it ‘til your troubles are gone
Can I take you on a trip🍄
Still hearing constant footsteps in the dark and when I close my eyes the distance is never too far...
But across alley ways deep in the cut, in the jungle I’ll roam just to get back to the one
I keep asking you what’s the next song and you forever say the one about me... you got me caught up in my feels while you’re caught up in the streets
Watching clocks while my nights run long, constant thoughts mixed with confusion yet you still where I wanna call home
But you twisted caught up many nights both phones with identical ringtones, as they Jones I Jones except I’m high off of the fumes of being alone...
Street symphony type sh*t standing in dark doorways lighting spliff, checking locations and Instagram I’m high key losing my sh*t
I’m afraid to trust yet I love you so much... passing your exit reminiscing on days where we had just lust.
Tone
If nothing else. Allow yourself to feel everything in it’s entirety
