Silence at the table

 You sat on your phone as i hoped mine would ding with a man that could get you away from me 


Wisco girl I’m ready to get buck 

If I flip this table I hope you fast enough to duck 

I’m messy that way 


I’m not the one to play with 

Rough ride ? You gone make me lane switch 

Cut you off you lost the game bitch


treat me like GTA but we in the city where they BTA 

you dumb asf but gone learn today 

have you crying for mommy like you in the 5th grade 

Have you doing laps like it’s training day 

Call D. See what he say, he tell you right, funny thing is I don’t deny it 

But then when I look at the bigger picture it’s above the scar the size of an island 

The one you put there to steal from me 

So excuse me if when I sneeze I throw my trash at you 

You’re garbage and I don’t know what else to do 

But find ways to say FUCK YOU wish I could retract my anger but could you ever reverse the time you put me in danger could you ever undo these emotions of pain, sir? 



Complacent but you want me to be obedient 

Abusive but you want me to “do this” 


Good girl looking like I been through war but really I just fucked with a dude who promised he’d give me more. 



(Your) his name start with K.

My name start with (B)itch.

When love is lonely

  We weren’t in love, we were lonely.   And there’s a difference. I can’t speak to love. I don’t know it. But I can speak to loneliness.  When you’re lonely it feels like your soul has scoured the earth for a companion. Many days you come up empty handed. Those days feel like years until you stumble upon someone. Someone who seems to get you in ways the emptiness didn’t. They speak and it feels like music not because it is but because the silence was too deafening and now their voice is like symphony. I wouldn’t wish a lonely heart on my worst enemy.  Lonely hearts settle for empty company. They settle for companions who are settling for them.  Lonely hearts love the hardest. Not because they can but because they convince themselves of it. Every ‘great love’ I ever knew came after great loneliness. It felt like I was being healed. I felt consumed. I felt sure.  But really I was certain I preferred the company of others that none at all. I wasn’t in love wit...

SITC and uncertainty

 I’m in my Philly apartment rewatching SITC on a Thursday night…If I have to spell it out, you simply don’t pass the vibe check. But because I clearly have spare time, I’ll elaborate:  I sat in my north central philly apartment REWATCHING Sex in the City because, truthfully, it was the most action I was getting these days. Trust me, it’s not lost how on me how old AND retired I sound. All while being 24…also, I’m sure it doesn’t help my case that this wasn’t a spontaneous rewatch. Nope, instead, the thought came to me mid work day at my big girl job. I can too easily blame my distraction on ADHD. I can less easily admit that I am a sick and lonely  hopeless romantic. See, I am more than capable of being my own damn hero. Yet, I choose to pine after the imaginary love interests. If I was a man, it would seem charming, but because I am a woman, and a black woman at that, it’s deemed as crazy and potentially desperate.  The conversation which confirmed this came up at m...
