Track Number 7A Poem by Erica Ross
I was inspired by the Ocean to write this s**t
It was track number 7 when the emotions hit And I got to thinking about all the loves I had missed From best friends to ex lovers, I went through every list. Memories never fade Certain verses make them replay Digging through the deepest corners of my mind Re-living specific days-and how I felt Funny how the past and the present can connect in a song, I remembered your face-the sun with peppered spots, your arms with welt marks-that represented your pain and how I'd make it all better by the love that we made And I remember this piece of chocolate that I loved the most but it left me the most rotten Never thought I'd bounce back from you Not memories, but love can be forgotten It was childhood so you know that hurts the most Shared the same halls with you Even shared the same roads You gave me hell but you said my mouth gave you heaven I knew all about your dirt All the way back from 2011 I let this player get played all because of feelings from way back in the day and maybe that's because I missed the way-that we had it You were my first every thing Disregarding the ones before and the ones in between You set the mold for it all but you never helped me when we would fall I hit your line the other day just to see if it would be the same Then I seen your face today- my mom didn't say a word but she looked at me in a way.. in my mind, I said you're beautiful but I couldn't say a word I gave my mom back the phone and I missed your face Self control, that's what it's called. I couldn't do anything, but sit and remember it all. Drop by drop, I let the tears flow. Memories. I know you gotta leave, so I guess I gotta go. © 2016 Erica Ross |
