LOVE IN STEREO

My love was in stereo,
so i begged her
to put the vinyl to rest.
But her ideals of the
definition of real music
were passed down to
her by manufactured love
that Mtv, Vh1, I BET they do consider this love...
that "record what sells and
not whats original" love.

If I even tried to find common ground she'd
mos def go ludiacris, claiming the real miseducation
came way before the school of hard knocks.
She doesn't have a door to her heart.
Just factory brand windows for eyes.

No instructions nor assembly included.
I've never been much of a handyman
so fixing broken homes you can forget.
Growing up she saw god
in the eyes of her mother
but saw the devil in her daddy's fist.

Past memories would cause reflexes
with a touch on her wrist.
The past only holds back what
the present wont come to grips with.
So If I claim to be her future
I must allow her past to
be comfortable with who's replacing it.

Even before night becomes day, the
sun and the moon have to change shifts.
She said that even her daydream
has nightmares before she
can transition into it.
So I hold her tightly by the waist side.
Hoping my presence physically
will manifest mentally so I can
be her light within that darkness..

I shined my light, but it was too
dim for her to follow so I went
with the next choice.
But my stereo was turned up too
loud and she couldn't follow
the sound of my voice
And we became lost in the shuffle
like most good music does.

Time passes...
like loved ones eventually do.
And her love still currently
plays on vinyl.
I don't blame her.
Love these days isn't the
same quality as it use to

Hopefully one day
she will be willing to put
the vinyl down for a while
and let our love be
heard in stereo..

I'm amazed no one has comented on this. It is beautiful. You pick your words carefully, almost softly, aloowing the meaning to seep through it. You give us a brief glimpse into her life, delicately written about. You are very good at not making an in your face piece. This was very well written, you have alot of talent.
