No love or consideration for a daughter
Who ll pillows with sodium infused h20
Karma send me kings that call me queen then treat me like hoes
Oh
You , you remind me of his busy ass schedule
Assuming the money comes in lump sums and residual
But I wouldn't know
I mean we have text messages for show but the actions aren't aligned so let's take it slow
Admit it you have no love nor affection to show me, my presence is just convenient for
the time being
You,
You remind me of the lack of protection I can no longer risk
My healing process is a lengthy list
And I expect no man to be acceptant of this
You remind me of something I value but no longer need
A woman that doesn't believe in order to be appreciated by a man she must fall to her
knees.
You,
You are a reminder of my low self esteem
You remind me that the self love I preach isn't the self love I see
And the self love I seek
Has yet to bring me peace
You are a reminder of these sorrowful sins
You are a reection of the spots I must heal in
You are a reminder that we are complimentary not even
So even, when you trigger these memories
I still plant these seeds and wait for our season. ...

I Remember
By Chai Graham
I remember summer
Warm winds that smelled of ocean and nature.
You smelled of freshwater and owers.
Like you bathed in roses and lilacs.
We exchange stories of life and lost love.
Accidental touces.
Electric Chills.
Too Early to discuss feelings.
Way too obvious they are there.
It was a beautiful Summer.
Warm winds.
Essence of you in the air.
