Harlem
He Thought I Was Pregnant But I Never Was
Summer wasn’t sunny, it was canceled
Leather seats sucked me in while I thought about my dreams
The night sky whispered my life
My heart ripped apart and ended on love
My hope was fighting with my faith
And then for 72 hours, I shut down
May was like a seesaw you lifted me up and down
You labeled yourself in bloody red letters that read canceled
You put a strain on my body and I wanted to call it love
What its hands and feet grew but told life
It wasn’t going to complete, it was only dreams
What if he or she grew like a seed of faith
April slapped me in the face and washed away this faith
She knew I didn’t see you coming so she watered you down
She drowned you with words and cancellation
In hopes that I wouldn’t run to a new first love
She closed my eyes and hypnotized my life
And showed me you as a destruction in my dreams
In the clouds of March, we rode on a green light in a dream
I formed with you in a seed that moved mountains
My doubt and second-guessing couldn’t take us down
I couldn’t read that you were canceled
But drips of the hot sun kept adding more days of growth to your love
And nature could foretell us together for life
Arrows and hearts in the month of love didn’t matter to my life
But your arms were always a part of my daydreams
Seeing you were like check-up's to my health, an appointment never canceled
Driving highways, streets, and never slowing down
Even at the church house, I sprinkled blessings to your unknown faith
But I never thought about your mistaken, unspoken love
Hello to the imagination of you that I created because of love
He created you out of fear to run you out of his life
I knew you were never formed in me only in his dreams
He planned you out of fear and doubt
Not believing that every test I took was negative
But IF it was the Lord’s will for you to form in me, you couldn't be canceled
The heavens would have canceled any destruction upon you
Your dreams would have aligned with my life
And my faith would have moved any mountain standing in our way
The thoughts of you put him in a state of mental uneasiness
but my thoughts of you gave me peace
