To be or not to be a player

[elephlora]

all the girls got cold bones, bows, foes and bros that r not so platonic tho

and all the dudes got thoughts tastes and tempers like triggas and
nobody satisfied.

we both pursuing a happiness
yet all we feel is a sadness

so im assuming that relationships are not equal taking and pushing
they must be equal giving..or something..

because if you take and i take and all we do is take, we both together… but we empty
and two empty stomachs don’t make a satisfied pair, they make a hungry couple

and when I’m soooo hungry.. ill devour you , and you’ll devour me too

but not in a good way that takes the tingle to the sole in my shoe

more like the demon way where one will cannibalize and dehumanize

keep you so fleshless and heartless, we cannot even memorialize.. you.

you you you. and me me me. but never is there a strong us or proud we

all the drama and conflict is all that we see- all that we remember to be,

so we never consider the way to set ourselves free.../

is not by a separation, but by a renunciation of a lack of participation and awkward hesitation

baby now lets have OUR own convocation where the time spent is of the dedication, WE have.

to making a precipitation of OUR ideas and hearts form together

hmm /. ha /. stop // - please

can i please get to know you handsome sir ...
before you take your hands under my shirt?..!
before u think how to pull my skirt ..!
bfor u ask how " this could work"
'for u play the mind and make the heart hurt..

I’m sure its a pleasure for the both of us, but this is the path to much brokenness.

maybe baby we don’t need a relationship, you seem to have one...ill swear to never need one..

but you can admit that we all want some love/ some where: some how

so even if you with another woman, and you craving that physical body movin
at least try to love me as a human being.
i don’t need you to love me like a wife, or defend me like your sister with the knives or kiss me like yo momma, or miss me like you wanna..
wanna be with me forever. nahh i don’t want that.

i want you to see me as a person.
if we can’t meet eye to eye, boy i shouldn't do the lip to lip
if we can’t see human as human, and you don’t even wana try to begin pursuin a friendship… then go find a doll or a wall or something where you can just have sex as a free for all

at the end of the day we can both be cheaters and liars
we can have sex with no love and all desires
but one fact must be made quite clear
we are both humans, people, and that’s the essence which draws us near

Oh. My. Gosh. I love this poem. I'm sad that nobody has posted a reply, and I really hope that you are still writing like this. It's so emotionally raw while also being real. I hope that both parties in this poem are able to find that basic connection that they are both lacking, but mostly I want them to find it with a partner that keeps them from exploring infidelity to find it. What keeps them with a partner that doesn't fulfill them? My heart breaks for both of them while simultaneously cheering for both of them. Thank you so much for sharing.
