A Prey Does Not Pray

I didn’t put faith in this,
But I realized I was soaring high—
When I saw that I had sunk so low.

I was no bird of prey.
An early bird, but no pray.
And I couldn’t cut it.
Even so, I could have my cake and eat it.
I had a strong
Sense of my own.


I can’t seem to find the right title today—this one will do.

May You Lovesick Me

The adage goes, “You never know who you’re dealing with”
Good heavens! I deserve to be surprised for good
Like expectations, low; satisfaction, over the roof

For the time being, I continue to fall for your game
You’re scoring top, over others
Guess what, I might be falling again

I wish you weren’t my type…
O negative
I mean, I saw you bleed, I even made you do it
Quite figuratively

For that I beg your pardon
You yourself didn’t know “who you’re dealing with”
A fragile soul at the time, believe it or not
I didn’t do it on purpose

Now that I’ve strengthen up
You might consider acknowledging my strength
Love me back harder
My heart can now stand it
