Happiness for a Week

It rolled around Friday

A little after payday

Pool hall was a May Day

For the people who didn’t know how to play play

Sweet charming brother

Chanted poems like my father

The things he’ll say to my mother before they made their beautiful daughter

Saturday was a breeze, I felt I had it all

Skipped the creep, it was all a crawl

In the bed I slept with pillows on my chest

Then Sunday Came, oh boy it was the best

I forgot about my past, I knew nothing else

Monday greeted me with a Good Morning lovely, my smile was definitely lovely

Tuesday plans were cancelled. So sad, but that’s okay because

Wednesday I was glad, to see his face in my home, would have been better if we were alone

Thursday was better than my last, we snuck in a park full of glass, with lights on the inside occupying mass. He held my hand, we walked and talked. Time was short but it was a must. Although it was cold, my heart was warm, from his presence of love, a very rare norm.

Then Friday Came, and that was it, the feeling I was feeling had made a shift

I cried out of frustration, like what do I do

To run the brothers off, dude I have no clue

Wine and heat was my friend, I looked up and said This Again.

Got a call and got fussed at and all &

I promise it felt like I was being punished y’all.

I thought to myself about maturity level, like why did you let feelings get the best of ya.

Tiny words replayed inside my mind

“Look at me, silly me, back in love again”

& believe me when I say that wasn’t even the plan

Pleasure snuck in front of business

But it’s my fault because I never should’ve kissed em, on that Friday when my happiness started, blame myself for being so hearted.

But it has ended now & I'm not even wondering how.
