Love's Misunderstanding

I used to believe that love
meant total and complete possession
Belonging to me and only me

Every offense was a threat
to my inner woman
undermining any and everything
that we were

Therefore, I had to
hold on tight
grasp firmly
claw and fight
to remain suctioned to love

I was wrong.....

Lost Control

No listen
I gotta put an end to this
Please
just hear me
I have to say this

I must
push past this intensity
and gravitational longing
set my mind straight
because
there is no way
this can be right

I shouldn't know you
in this way but
cannot not know you
your being calls to me
every time you walk by and
my spirit longs for you
such that I
cannot make sense out of this confusion
