Potential for Love

Tears filled my eyes as we began to speak.

Feeling like snapping; 'bout reached my peak

w/lovers who either have no desire to be

the man, the warrior, the lover to me

that i deserve and i'm truly frustrated.

Talking to my sister, she totally related

to everything i said about how i feel,

about brothers grinding me into the ground w/their heals.

Might as well be a floor mat w/welcome printed;

cause the scars of love are firmly imprinted

on my heart; deep wounds for all to see

just how  cruel, and neglectful bros. have been to me.

i know eventually things will have to change.

Hope its before i loose touch w/reality, become derranged.

Its truely unfortunate what some sistas go thru.

But thats how the system's designed it to do.

Found a truly potential mate in the strangest place.

Ain't it some shit, met him in cyberspace.

i never suspected, could've never known

that this man would consider and let it be shown

that he is willing and he believes

that having a relationship is what he conceives

as the godright, the birthright, the rule of thumb;

so he proceeds to share tenderness w/me & i'm numb.

Numb w/excitment the potential takes wings;

because before him being loved was an inconceiveable thing.

But maybe, just maybe; god i'm scared to look

in the mirror and face the fact that i am hooked

on a man whose promise holds more than reality ever did

and he shares openly and honestly leaving nothing hid

God! i just want to throw caution to the wind

but i need to be careful and see where this will end.

Goddess be merciful and for once let this be

the relationship that goes down in afrikan history:

The romance, the passion that sista's dream of;

The caring, the sharing, the genuine LOVE!
