Poem by Beauty Boois

 

Thousands and thousands and thousands of words words words!
In the beginning we had so many words so much to say
So much talk;
All night long we could, we would -
Talk That Talk!

 Between us there were a million phrases, expression, hyperbole, synonyms, antynoms, syllables.
 So many letters to put in place,
 All used to express the love we once shared, Still!
 All the letters in all the words in all the books in all the world, they-
 weren't enough!
 Alas, the words too, they passed
 And that was all in the beginning
 
In the beginning, in the beginning, in the beginning there was LUST!
 These lustful thoughts I sowed, they-
 Grew, matured, progressed and reaped into;
 Words for you;
 Words full of love;
Words filled with trust;
Words turned into promises -
 BUT, as we now know, that was all in the beginning!
And now, and now, Now as we approach the end;
The promises- they've turned to lies;
The silent whispers 'I love you' have turned to painful screams 'I HATE YOU'
The lust has become anger!

And still, and still, and still, still as we approach the end, leaving the beginning behind us, your words,
They STING;
 cut DEEPER as I learn how broad your vocabulary can be stretched and how good your French really is as you
Curse me out, tell me I'm worthless, threaten me, use your words to
crush my dreams,bring sorrow to my soul and
Break my spirit!
 
In the beginning, in the beginning, in the beginning your words, your words, your words - they were that of a man.
And now, now as we approach the end, your words, your words they resemble that of a boy yet to mature!
 
In the beginning, in the beginning, in the beginning the words between us, they words between us were
Kind and true
But now, now your words, your words are hurtful and deceiving
through and through!
 
In the beginning, In the beginning, in the beginning there was the word
And the word was LOVE
And we were those words
And the word was with us
And so LOVE was with us

And now and now and now,
Now all I have left is the beginning and those words
And as we stand here at the finish line,
I,
Hold onto those words,
Praying we can go back to what we once were!
 
To go back to those words of love
To speak those words of love
To feel
To be love,
YES.

Take my hand and let us journey
Back To the beginning!!
