The breakup

His boom boom tap tap drew me in 

After I swore I'd never let another 

boom tap me again 

But that 808 was banging 

Beats so divine 

I kissed the vibration 

Devoured the rhythm 

And for a moment it all was fine 

My body was satisfied 

With the hammering of his percussion 

But my heart & soul yearned 

For an insightful discussion

No longer would I settle 

For rhymes, beats, and no meaning 

I left hip hop for R&B 

And found all that I was fiending

A rose

All of the pretty flowers in the garden 

I spread my petals & let the morning dew hit me just so 

And I'm begging 

"pick me" 

The fragrant bouquet has all of the bees buzzing 

Enticing all within sniffing distance of our scent 

But you have to come closer to realize I don't smell the same 

All the more reason for you to 

"Pick me" 

Yes I have thorns 

And sometimes I prick 

But the pleasure I'll bring 

Is worth the stick 

Pick 

Me...
