Rewind

Rewind

A Poem by Choosing Life

 

Skipping pages like minutes
And chapters I wish I never read
 Wake me up in the middle of today
Asking where are you going
Slowing my steps
I halt
And ponder
You and I
Why?
 Asked my self more times
 Than stars in the sky
 Still feeling you against my ovaries
Planting spiritual seeds
 In me
Your characteristics
Still in me
 I be fighting your thoughts
In my head
Waking up out my bed
Playing phone tag
And one text message
Away from total deletion
To end this
Merry go round
 Of nothing
I pushed the button
 Thought I hit rewind
 But it fast forwarded me to consequences
And my belly was full
Carrying a child
That belonged to you
Crying as I walked alone
Picking up the phone
You question paternity
While I wear your t-shirt
In your bed
No commitment
 But all promises
I wake up back to here
And look in the mirror
You say fear keeps you
From being my man
But not from acting like him
Like when 2 am finds you
Inside my walls grinding again
Protection can’t stop the Infinite
Penetration of life seed
Fast forwarding me to child support hearings
And a baby wondering
Mommy why  don’t you like my daddy?
But you scrape my internal walls
And play in my fertile grounds
 And I let you in
As if I have no part in it
Rewind to numbers being exchanged
And your s being erased
No first date
And I never woke up next to you

That's enough to make a woman say, "see, that's why I don't f**k with men!" At the same time, this was totally, if not, brutally honest.

Another awesome write.

Wow! You are awesome gurl! Thisis an excellent write and I know it has a meaning and that meaning I did get! But damn, the way you worded this was very deep to say the least, and it was if I was right there with you while reading this and feeling your pain! This is good sweetie! You truly can write! :) One luv Miss Choosing Life! :)
