"The Glass that I couldn't See Through"
By: La La Yone
I thought that I could make a
Break through
But your exterior is so tough
Molded shaped formed in a way that
You
Were supposed to be
Cold at times, to the touch
You were made tough
Breathing on you, hawking you
Fogging on your exterior
I thought it would help but
Now I can’t see anything
I thought love would
Break you
Down, but you stood unmoved
I thought I could leave my impression on you
But I have yet to see my
Prints
I wanted to frame you with my passion
And compassion
I often wondered what’s on the other side of this
Glass
This unbreakable glass
Never was I trying to change your
Makeup
And never will I know your full purpose
But please remember you were also made to be seen
Into
I didn't come into your life
With the intention to clean you up
To me you were already shining
Or so I thought
Your exterior thick
But your appearance
So beautiful, because I seen
You in the best light.
But yes its time to move on
Its time to leave this glass
Alone to wait for his better half.
Dear God,
Yes! I GET IT… when you walk your way, you will, you will walk my way. I Love you… how you touch me, and bring me to those that need, want or have me. Lord I prey for those that have hurt me in anyway. I forgive them, for their sins to me—were FOR ME. I thank you for showing me your way, the right way, the only way! This I say but tomorrow will sound like a 50/West Rap… Matter of Fact! Myson, Yes my-son will be a STAR! The Star, that GO! The evil I speak, is the fear that I know. The scarred tingling sensation when your scarred- and knew, know or want to KNOW better.
Forgive Me, For I Have Sinned!

Reminiscing...
Through the ageless coffee stained album with all of my vintage dreams as they sting so sharply... they swim across the pages without INTERRUPTION I can't believe how controlled you had me as if I were your WILD FLOWERS made of Burning Scarlets And you were the Gardner, Trimming my roots, My beliefes Tying me with Satin Lace acid through my hear. Not being able to speak or breath. You've always been so clever so arch In the manner you've sufocated me But your EXTINCT Only an ECHO in life itself Love triumphed over the fears and cruelty you had me over I sometimes wonder if your DEAD or at least... if your paralized? This classic of yours I now TIE... with a RAVEN LACE... And throw it away into HISTORY...

What if I were an Angel? Would you have treated me the same way? What if God placed me in your life to test your level of compassion and sensitivity towards an individual who is not kin to you.... What if I were and Angel, placed in your life to share blind love to you, although not in love with you, but to still give it unconditionally no matter what your behavior is.... What if God said to me look, no matter how you are treated you are to continue to show that true love exists, love not based on what can be bought, love not based on what is returned back, and not with exceptions, but its is allowed to flow freely from the heart with no inhibitions from the ego. Remember you don’t have to be in love....to share it. What if I were an Angel and my brief assignment was to be.....me.....and not anymore or any less. Do you think if you knew I was you would have called me crazy for caring, or just having a "heart" that cares. So what if everyone was stripped of their emotions.....what kind of world would this be, there would be no need to communicate, actions would not need to be validated. Do you think God put us on this earth to hurt any one person? I have no physical confidence....I have no material confidence....I have no superficial confidence....Confidence is to put full trust and belief into a certain thing. Those things are temporary to me.....So yes I am insecure about those things but it is just that my confidence lies in the things that will take me to heaven. But it also lied with you...I kept saying no matter what I have faith that this person will open up and I will find a true "friend" in him. What if I were an Angel, of course I would be misunderstood by many. Being understood by many would mean that I am like many and they can identify with what is like them. So that I’m not. Why am I so endeared by you? I will never know why my heart chose to speak to you, or why my tears choose to fall for you or why I yearn to have your undivided attention. People come into our lives for a reason....so question is why did I come into yours and why you into mines. I kept telling myself God has to be trying to show me that I should never accept anyone who will treat me this way, friend or lover. But why now God? Why when I am going through so much in my life would you allow this person to cross my path and to cause my soul to move in his direction if it was going to end so tragically. I wish I were and Angel then, because at least then I would of known I was only on assignment and it would be over soon and all that I went through would of been for the greater good...But I’m not, I am a human being who can not see into the future....I am a women...who at times can be a slave to my emotions....who gets attached when Intimacy (In-To-Me-You -See) happens....who doesn’t know how to fix my broken spirit, but only finds some relief with tears and this spoken word. Would I wish the same pain upon you if I could? No.... I wouldn’t want any one person to feel any of this....and although I am not an Angel...I would still look out for you like I was one.
