Promise~cuous

A Poem by Thunderlyrics

I made the solemn promise
That I’d be true to you
But as time dwindles on
I find it’s not so easy to do

The problem is you being
So far away from me..
This love affair we started
Has got me restless…see

You reaffirm
Your love “sometimes”
But these bouts of disappearance
Is really messing with my mind..

That phone call connection
Goes along way
When I’m holding it down
I need to hear that “baby, it’s ok”

You said I was a trooper
And I can stand on my own
But I don’t think it wise
To leave me here all alone

For months at a time
I wait, wait and contemplate
Should I move on now?
I’ve been asked on many o’ dates

How would you feel
If I told you that I slipped
Would you say its “understandable”
Or be ready to flip the script

Saying “How could I “
Or don’t I have discipline?
When the actuality is
You’re not here..and every day I see him

Telling me how good I smell
And how he likes my new cut
Brings a smile to my face
When I feel I’m in a rut

Saw me at the bus stop
Waiting patiently
Made a U-turn in the street
To come and get me…

Conversation wasn’t suggestive
Just, I know he cares
Trying not to make eye contact
But homeboy truly stares

Shares things about me
That I don’t think you know
What my favorite color is
And my love for comedy shows

Said to me “Thunder, I
Can be THAT dude,”
I’m all that you need
Intentions not misconstrued”

Yes, intelligent he is
But he cannot get between us…
Come and check me baby…
Before I become “Promise~cuous”
